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 .

(10/10/2013) This is made up to look like a M-38.
“This is my parade vehicle I used all summer to drive veterans in town parades its a civilian jeep painted to represent a M38 military jeep. I restored this jeep from the frame up the tub was taken to the sandblaster as well as the hood and front fenders the frame was wire wheeled as it was already real clean and primed with POR15 and painted with gillespie WWII olive drab paint. This jeep has five new tires, repro brass data plates, remanned carb, new steering wheel, new master cylinder, new gauges and speedometer, fresh oil and filter, fresh GL1 in the trans and transfer case, new tail lights, turn signals, rear mounted gas tank (no sitting over the gas tank) rebuilt steering links, new alternator conversion, electric fuel pump, 6 volt system converted to 12 volt, new paint, new distributor with electronic ignition, I have all the pics from when I bought it until it was finished I took out the uncomfortable junkyard seats that were in it when I bought it and replaced them with a set of military humvee seats. The jeep runs like a top drives great no popping out of gear but it does have a intermittent high pitched whine at higher speeds I believe it might be in the transfer case but it has never given me a problem I have a spare transfer case to go with the jeep the new military speedometer was put in but needs a new speedo cable to function all gauges work but the fuel gauge the fuel tank was boiled out and checked for leaks the sending unit is good the gauge needs to be replaced with one with a lower ohm value to work with the existing sending unit.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(10/10/2013) This is a project.
“1972 CJ5 Jeep, frame, drive-train, V8 engine. Project jeep the body is of a 1953 M38 with many of the parts modified. Many parts both of the 53 era and of the 72 era. Fun project but have to move. Body mounted on the 72 frame no modifications required bolted in”
In 2009 I hauled up a flatfender body from a seller in Boise (where I was living) to Paul in La Conner, Wa. Since that time, he’s been busy rebuilding it. It sure looks good!
Paul writes, “What you see is a conglomeration of what you brought up here several years ago and a couple of “farm/orchard” jeep’s from Wenatchee plus new parts from major suppliers. it looks good, runs good and is “cute”. I have a roll bar I am going to re-configure (single hoop with stiffeners) that I will install for safety reasons and ad 3 point safety belts, no rear seat so no rear belts. It has 15 inch wheels and radial street tires on it now but a friend of mine found five really nice 16 inch wheels at the Monroe swap meet a couple of weeks ago so sometime soon we will add those with new era correct tires to the “look”
Here are the parts I loaded onto the back of a truck in 2009:
And here is how it looks now:
I happened upon this unusual CJ-3B from the Weekly Times in Australia. The paper requests folks send in their ‘paddock bombs’. You can read about this CJ-3B from Bona Vista in Gippsland.

Mike found this nice 47 CJ in Mobile, Al. at a little car show. He writes, “naturally it was the only Jeep. It is in good shape, it’s not for sale and he said he paid about 5k for it and has had to do nothing to it.”
The owner of this unusual jeep kit from Western Auto would like more information. Anyone ever seen or remember one of these? I spent some time trolling through “western auto” ads from past years on eBay, but didn’t have any luck
Here is a collection of scanned Western Auto ads on Flickr, but no jeep like the one below.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
This looks in good shape. It appears to have an early grille.
“The first Jeep Willys is a 1948 bright yellow rag top. The interior and the rag top is in very good condition. Its have been rebuilt from the ground up using all most all the original parts and runs very well. Has been parked for a long time but has been cranked once a week. I want this to go to good people who will run them and maintenance them as needed.”
