Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .

(08/01/2012) This looks in good condition, though has a few unusual minor mods.
“Great condition, stock tall hood Jeep. Engine was rebuilt 12743 miles ago, and had a tune up about 200 miles ago. The odometer was spun back to zero when the motor was rebuilt. Shifts great, doesn’t pop out of gear like some do. Starts right up, runs all day and doesn’t get hot. Has brakes from a Gladiator truck, so it stops pretty well. Everything works. Very reliable. Hard to find defroster, Warn hubs. Top is nearly new. Tow bar, old school radio and speakers, brass fire extinguisher. Body work looks good from 10 feet, but has flaws. It’s not a show car, I drive it around town all the time. CA Registered to April 2013. It’s more fun to drive a slow car fast, than a fast car slow. No reserve. Please contact with any questions.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $18,000.
This looks in good shape.

(07/25/2012) This looks solid. The hood scoop is unusual. This might restore relatively easily . I wonder if it really was an Air Force Jeep.
“1952 Willys Jeep. Good body runs and drives well. Very little rust a few dents but one of the better original bodies I’ve seen. Many new parts and some spares.”
Dan spotted this nice looking, stock wagon. It’s listed as a 1959 Wagon in the title of the AD and a 1958 Wagon in the body of the ad.

The seller claims this an unmolested CJ-3A. More accurately, it’s a M-38 that’s just slightly molested.
“WOW !!! Here is a hard to find unmolested all original 1951 Jeep CJ3A with only 12,396 miles on the odometer. The original soft top and doors will also come with the sale of this vehicle. This jeep runs and drives good but will need a brake master cylinder as it has gone bad while in storage. Come out take a look drive it around the yard and see what you think. I really think its worth your drive and time and doubt you will be disappointed. Asking 16K may consider serious cash offer made here in person. Tire kickers please don’t waste my time, serious buyers only as these original jeeps don’t come around for sale very often. call or text 4 zero 2 seven20-03one 0”

Steve forwarded this photo of a Mighty Mite at the Chicago Auto Show yesterday.
Coincidently, yesterday Ann’s mother saved part of an episode of Pawn Stars for me to view (Episode called PONY UP from December 2011), which included a man trying to sell a Mighty Mite to the Pawn Stars guys for $22,000. They offered $13,000 (based on their expert’s opinion). Unfortunately, I can’t find a free way to view that episode.

“This extremely well preserved and rare military 4×4 that would be an excellent add to your military or rare vehicle collection. Only 1,045 M422 were produced and it is assumed that only 5% are still in existence. This is a 1960 restored American Motors Mighty Mite M422, serial number 547.
The truck has been 98% restored from the ground up and shows and runs wonderfully.
Vehicle Specific Features-
Complete and restored to original specifications M422
Brand new NOS transmission and transfer case installed
Engine rebuilt
Painted “marine corps green”
Brand New Tires installed
Original rear folding Seats installed on rear fenders
Original Soft-Top in excellent shape
Body and bumpers are straight and all the lifting rings move and work as they should
As far as I know everything is complete and original.
The mighty mite was the first military jeep with posi traction front and rear and with its lightweight 1700 lb. aluminum body seems to go anywhere. Another advantage to the aluminum body is that there is no body rust at all. The frame and other steel components of this truck are all rust free and painted marine corps green. It has an M38 style windshield (as do most M422). This is very rare collector quality vehicle but yet capable as a daily driver or off road play toy.
