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 .
This diesel powered M-38A1 made me smile. It looks pretty rough.
“I don’t know the year off hand. Here is a M38 Jeep M1 Diesel. That is right, it has a Isuzu diesel motor in it, same as the Chey Luv pickups. Comes with Meyer’s snow plow. I strongly suggest you take a look at the font window, it is hard to find and rare. I think I have a title but not sure. I will listen to any reasonable offer.”

“I am clearing inventory and have a lot of vintage Willys Jeep parts for sale.
Doors.
Grills.
Transmissions.
Steering columns.
Pretty much you name the part, I have it.
This is good time to get a great price.”

(10/31/2014) This may be a good price.
“I have a 1950 Jeep Willys Wagon for sale or possible trade. Truck is in running condition with current tags. Has a 350 small block conversion. Some interior restoration has been done, but still needs more work of course. I just don’t really have the time for it right now, and am always interested in other opportunities. Body does contain rust and could use some restoring or is still drivable as is. Missing a few windows and transmission or clutch needs to be looked at as reverse seems to not shift into gear sometimes. All other gears work great and so does four wheel drive and transfer case. Has newer style offroad seats in front currently. Also has 33 inch tires.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $9500.
(09/30/2015) This is incorrectly listed as a 1947. Even if the year was correct, it isn’t all original.
“For sale 1947 Willys Jeep all original except ignition, soft top, and paint job.”

(02/25/2015) The price seems a bit high, but it might just be a placeholder.

(02/18/2015) That poor jeep.
