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: Price dropped to $6500.

Looks like it has some value.

“This is a 1952 M38A1C military jeep. it’s also a rare artillery version. This was before the CJ5 came out but they shared the same DNA. has the original hood numbers. previous owner wanted it preserved. that was my intention but the buyer backed out of our deal.
I restored and still own one of these and they are a beautiful piece of history. Vets love them. Sadly the wife says no more to my military collecting and it has to go. If she said it then it must be true.
it’s restorable or would be good for parts to finish yours. the rolling chassis has the body, fuel tank, front clip, windshield, bumper, complete grill, pintle hook, radiator and seats. The T90 transmission and Dana 18 transfer case are present but removed, and it has a rare valuable Rancho overdrive attached. Driveshafts are there. Top bows are of the CJ5 civilian era. it’s remarkably rust free on the tub, grill, windshield and fenders, except the tub was cut around the cowl and the tool box is rusted out. i’m sure the hat channels need attention. Many valuable and very hard to find parts are still on this.
what is missing: no canvas or top, bumperettes, bellhousing, no engine or attached engine parts, ebrake drum or handle, or spare tire carrier. These are still available aftermarket and easy to find.

Steve shared this ad. It looks like this is missing the rear half? I’d say there is a little more than 10% left on this project.
“We are selling our project jeep! A little elbow grease and you’ll have a great piece of history! This project Jeep is about 90% there. Needs a rear tub and front seat. Garage kept, give us a shout to come check it out. Titled!”

I tried hard to avoid my wife’s cold (even left in the motorhome for a few days), but I still caught it. So, I’m taking it easy today (Sunday). Just a few updates for Monday.
UPDATE: Heres a photo showing a CJ-3A with a Mobile Drill, before it was branded a “Jeep-A-Drill”:
A page from Dave Antram’s collection.
=============================
Originally posted October 2017: Mobile Drilling, Inc., produced this brochure about their Jeep-A-Drill product. there were there models (100-A, 100-b, 200), two powered by hydraulics and the cheapest one, the 100-A, powered by a hand crank.
UPDATE II: It’s now red and for sale again: http://www.ewillys.com/2022/12/25/1950-modified-cj-3a-celestine-in-10000/
UPDATE: It appears this jeep has been re-themed into a resort vehicle.
This unusual ambulance jeep was shared on Facebook. I’ve tracked down an additional photo that shows it’s got a standard gas inlet on the side, so I think this may have been a CJ-3A.
This vehicle is located in Vincennes, Indiana (still there??). I’d really like some better photos of this. I’ll offer an Alaska Or Rust T-shirt and my everlasting gratitude if someone could get some more pics of this unusual rig.
