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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2850

After a couple days in Omaha, we are cruising to Colorado Springs for the weekend to visit my Ann’s friends. The weather so far has been perfect, with beautiful blue skies. We have only had two near misses (cars switching lanes into us — you’d think a bright red mustang would be easy to see against the endless brown fields, but, nope, some drivers just seem intent on making our drive that much more interesting). I had my first Runza while in Omaha, which is a lot like a Russian Piroshki, but not deep fried. It won’t be my last.
Thankfully, the mobile broadband is functioning beautifully, hence the updates this afternoon. On Monday we will be in Denver for two meetings I have, then on Tuesday we head back to Omaha.
Paul forwarded me some images from a friend of his who built this hunting jeep for a client. I think there is some nice work here. Thanks Paul! My weapons specialist gf thought it was very cool!
Paul wrote, “this M-38 was built by a friend of mine (Rob Fife), who is a master at fabrication. He restored the M-38 for a customer, who then decided he wanted a hunting rack on it. He built the frt/rear racks to be quick attach, with quick pins, and the rear seat mounts on pedestals so it can be used front or rear. Then the customer decided he wanted to use in parades so gun mounts were added for (3) airsoft m60’s for crowd control. It handles good and isn’t too top heavy.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
“I AM LISTING THIS WILLYS FOR MY SON. SO, RIGHT NOW MY DESCRIPTION MAY NOT BE ALL INCLUSIVE UNTIL HE REVISES IT. THIS IS A NICE RUNNING WILLYS THAT DOESN’T NEED ANYTHING TO BE A DAILY DRIVER. CURRENTLY BEING USED AS A TOY, THE WILLYS IS GARAGE KEPT IN A CLIMATE CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT. IT RUNS NICELY AND HAS THE NORMAL TOP SPEED OF 45MPH. THE INTERIOR IS BASIC WILLYS WITH NO FRILLS. IT DOES HAVE SOME SMALL ROT SPOTS IN THE STORAGE COMPARTMENT UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT AND SOME SPOTS ALONG THE INSIDE OF THE REAR WHEEL WELLS. THE PICTURES SHOULD SHOW IT IF ENLARGED. IT COMES WITH A CANVAS TOP AND DOORS. GAUGES ALL WORK EXCEPT THE GAS GUAGE. THE ACTUAL MILEAGE OF THE WILLYS IS UNKNOWN. I PUT 50000 TO FILL IN THE UPPER BLOCK AND MAKE EBAY HAPPY. THE WINDSHIELD IS INTACT. IT OPENS OUT AND IT ALSO FOLDS FORWARD. THE TIRES ARE NEW. IT HAS NO MAJOR ROT OR DENTS ON THE EXTERIOR. THE PAINT JOB WAS DONE BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER WITH A RATTLE CAN BUT IT DOESN’T LOOK TOO BAD. COULD USE THE RUBBER CAB MOUNTS ON THE REAR AND ALL OF THE OTHER MOUNTS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. IT ALSO HAS A PTO FOR A 3 POINT HITCH IN THE REAR. WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS WAS A FARM TRUCK IN NORTH JERSEY. THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS NEAT AND CLEAN. IT HAS ALL NEW METAL BRAKE LINES, WHEEL CYLINDERS AND HOSES. IT HAS ALSO BEEN CONVERTED OVER TO 12 VOLT. THIS IS A COOL LITTLE TRUCK TO TOOL AROUND IN AND IT DEFINITELY TURNS HEADS OF THOSE IN THE KNOW. CLEAN TITLE IN HAND.”
