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 .
These appear to have some good parts.
“We have (2) 1950s JEEP Willys 4×4 Trucks for sale. One is a pickup and the other a wagon. Both appear to have the original Super Hurricane I6 engines and drivetrain along with most of the chrome and trim. There is surface rust and some rot on both, but they appear solid.”

(09/27/2012) This appears in good shape. It might be a good value.
“So here it goes. I have decided to put my beloved ’52 Willys up for sale. I have 3 little kids and I just don’t have the time needed to get it perfect. My game plan has been to replace and fix parts when I can, and it has most of the hard work done. I have not started it. I was going to get it 95% there (for cost reasons) and have it towed to a Willy’s expert to get the engine dialed in perfect since I am not a mechanic. It has the original L134 4 cyl engine, T90 transmition, Dana 18 transfer case, everything else is original 6V.
Here is a list of the new parts I have added (at quite a cost I might add!!)
-new distributor cap, points, plugs, wires
-new Oil Filter canister (that was missing on most of these Jeeps)
-new belt
-new hoses
-new gas tank
-new gas line
-new fuel sender unit
Changed all of the oil and fluids”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,000

“What you are looking at is an original 1952 Willys M38 military Jeep. The jeep has all matching data tags. The Jeep has been gone through from top to bottom and was a frame off restoration. The engine has been rebuilt and the transmission and transfer case has all new seals. It could use new tires, but they are ok for now. All original 24 volt system. It’s in near perfect shape and is ready for you to hop in and go.

UPDATE: After some relatively quick searching, I discovered this image is available via National Geographic’s Stock Imagery. Below is an example of the original image.
The photograph was taken in Horse Canyon in Utah. The photographer was W. Robert Moore. The picture ID is #614798.
To find the photo, go to the NationalGeographicStock.com website and then enter the id of 614798 in the “quick explore” box.

I bought a book from the 1960s full of photographs from America’s National Parks, called “America’s Wonderlands The National Parks National Geographic“. As you can see in the link, I paid a whole $1.60 for it. On Page 222-223 I found this photograph of two jeeps wandering through Canyonlands National Park. It’s too bad the photograph is slightly split by the binding.
This features two rocket launching jeeps, though they only somewhat jeep like. Maybe there are more jeeps within the comic.

This needs some work.
“Here we have a Structo Jeep ride on fire truck. There is a dent in the back on the right side (see pics). The steering wheel may not be original. It has great patina! See pictures for condition. What you see is what you get. Selling as is. Please ask questions if you have them. Thanks for looking! Check out my other auctions for more great old stuff.”

I thought the hoses on this fire jeep were unusual. I would think they would flap around in the wind when driving?
