About eWillys
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.
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 .
Ann and her mother Rosemary drove over to a friend’s house in Richland on Tuesday59. Along the way, Ann spotted this jeep. After telling her mother to turn around so they could get some photos, she snapped this one.
When they arrived at Rosemary’s friend’s house, Ann discovered they had an old jeep. It turns out to be a CJ-3A that was handed down and hasn’t moved in a while. There seems to be no interest in selling it at this point. Looks like it’s a bit of a project, but at least it is stored indoors.
So, congrats to my wife for her jeep hunting skills!
Matt wrote me today, letting me know that there’s a raffle for a M-100 trailer at Midwestmilitary.net. Tickets are $20. Proceeds go to help Gary Wirth’s hospital expenses, a result of his battle with cancer. The drawing will be held December 7, 2013. You can purchase a ticket here: http://www.midwestmilitary.net/raffle.html
“This trailer was donated for raffle by Al and Kelly Lehmann. They had it totally restored by Gary Wirth last fall. It was totally dismantled and rebuilt, including new bearings, brakes, wiring and tires.
Painted in 24087 color scheme. This trailer was not rusty before it was restored. It was a super clean trailer that came from a local city garage that always kept it inside. We have the original data plates and a new set of reproduction plates that will be added soon. Date of delivery is 10/52 and serial number 382368. The original manufacturer was Dunbar-Kapple. Between the cost of purchasing the trailer and the restoration, there is over $3000.00 invested. The wiining ticket holder will be responsible for picking up the trailer or shipping expenses. We can help with the shipping arrangements, so don’t let that stop you from purchasing a chance to win this beautiful piece of history.”
Bob Christy forwarded this story about a 1941 MB Slat Grille that fell victim to Hurricane Sandy in 2012. The jeep was considered a total loss as saltwater reached the dash. Fortunately, the owner had the jeep covered by Collector Car Insurance, which allowed for a restoration of the jeep.
Roberto spotted this collection of photos taken during/after the WWII. The photos are worth combing through. There are a few, but not many, jeep photos.
Joe forwarded this site. He writes, “Here’s a link from G503.com (from years ago) with lots of pics of a NOS engine found in the most unlikely of places….. the warehouse of a company that made wooden shipping crates for the Army. It’s an interesting story….. especially for those restoring their M38’s back to original stock condition.”
“this is a late 40s jeep amusement ride / pedal car. one of the first jeeps made after wwii. barn fresh .have not cleaned it .it has a rare electric motor from the factory inside, make offer no low balls”
Merlin posted a variety of photos from this year’s Mason Dixon Gathering. Make sure to click on the link below and check out the last photo of the ‘grille chair’.
Susan Katz Keating writes about the loss of her jeep. At one point shoe compares how her jeep viewed itself vs. how other vehicles view it. I found it funny.
Sooo, why is this priced at $298? They didn’t even get the year right.

Gary shot this photo of his jeep and boat. He says it really helps to have the jeep for putting the boat into tight, uneven locations on small lakes, like the one below at Binnewater Lake in Rosendale, NY. Looks like a beautiful day for sailing.
