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 .
Bob forward this interesting story about how an American bugler used a Chinese bugle to play the Chinese retreat call and trick the Chinese. The photo below was included in the article from the Akron Beacon Journal Online and shows a Carl Thornton in a M-38A1 when he served in Korea.
UPDATE: Sold. Was priced at $1500.

Looks solid.
“Original-the way Ford built it in 1942. Garaged, no rust. M-1 rifle rack
Rebuilt engine, transmission, wiring. Current California registration and clear title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
George forwarded this nice looking GPW for sale in the UK.
“Her name is “Diana”
Our understanding is that this Jeep has always been in the UK from 1943 and was based with the U S 8th Air force.
Fully restored three years ago by a well known UK Jeep restorer during which time no expense was spared, she is virtually a brand new GPW and must be one of the very best. She drives without any issue’s and the side valve engine pulls very well.
Everything you could wish to specify this Jeep has, even down to her 1942 U S spec Jerry can.
A bonnet bag complete with a full weather kit is included also.
Also there is an (unfitted) “Ohio Brass” Ariel and mast kit complete with mounting bracket.
Not the cheapest GPW in the country but well worth every single penny, an appreciating asset.
She is 110% gorgeous and will not disappoint.”
Lots of updates to this jeep.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
Maybe somebody could make a trailer out of it? It just looks sad!
“The jeep has a fair body. It is a 1948 cj2a. The frame was cut into two pieces from the previous owner. It could be welded back. I have the grill and fenders and front half also. No hood or windshield. I’m asking $500.00”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
Looks like enough parts to make a jeep. Everything looks clean, too.
“This was a project jeep that was disassembled and is ready to put back together. all engine work done and transmission rebuilt. new complete body with fenders , windshield and hood. many original f-stamped parts. new combat rims and tires. all brake system new. original f-stamped radiator with new core. too much to list. over 10 grand invested will sacrifice for $7500.00.”
It sounds like this includes an overdrive. It might be a good price.
