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 .

(10/20/2015) This is an ex forest jeep. It was stationed at the Clark-McNary Forest as part of the University of Nebraska. Must have been one of at least three jeeps (given there is a #3 on the side of the jeep).

Glenn just bought this CJ-3B Fire Jeep. His 2A Fire Jeep has been sold. Derek published Fred Scott’s great write-up of it on the CJ-3B Page.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000
This is a tribute, rather than one owned previously by a fire department.
“1951 Willys (M-38) Fallbrook Fire ” Tribute” Jeep, Converted to 12 Volt with a new battery, alternator, & all wiring, Completely refurbished including (5) new tires, water pump. paint , pin striping, brakes, seals, bearings, windshield, seats, mechanical siren-light & 100 Watt electronic siren, $10,000.00 (OBO)”
In 1980 the Fruitville Fire Department received a 1951 wagon modified into a “rescue jeep”. This article was published in the Sarasota Herald Tribune on Dec. 23, 1980.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
“here’s your chance to own a very rare willys fire truck and they don’t come up for sale often. This willys fire engine is in almost new condition with only 3300 miles on it. This truck was bought new and was the only fire engine the town had until it was replaced in 1972 then it sat in the fire hall un till march of 2015 when I bought it 🙂 Since I have brought it home I gave her a new 6 volt battery and a bit of a tune up. The water tank in the back leaked so I removed it and repaired it and in the process I damaged some of the pipe fittings to the pump so there is a few new 1″ fittings that don’t take away from its quality and curb appeal.
What also makes this fire truck stand out is it was not built in the USA it was built by the Sterling machine and manufacturing co. right here in Canada if your a Willys jeep kinda guy you may have heard of them they also made trailers and pto type accessories. Im happy to assist in shipping anyway I can.
This little unit runs drives shifts and stops if you have any questions I would rather answer them on the phone so feel free to call me any time between 7 am and 9 pm 7 days a week but please keep in mind the time change as im in Calgary Alberta Canada.”
UPDATE: Was Make Offer, now $4500.
This looks like it has a jeep chassis. Anyone check this one out?
“runs and drives. needs brake work. taking offers since I have no idea what it’s worth.”

(07/15/2015) It’s supposed to be an ex-civil defense wagon.
“Special build for Civil Defense. One of only “10” equipped in this manner. The barn doors, the taillights etc. are different from the production run. Factory PTO winch/bumper. No rust! Solid and functional in every way. Runs and drives good. Super Hurricane flat head 6 cylinder. New gas tank, carburetor, complete brake system. Tires and wheels are new, w/new hubcaps. Ideal for business Mascot vehicle.”
Its an interesting piece.
“For sale is a pull behind Willys Power Unit. It had a fire pump on the back which has been removed and sold. You can buy it and put another pump on the back, or a generator or an air compressor or??? The engine itself is a 4 cylinder Willys. It’s hasn’t ran in years but it DOES turn over. Since the pump has been sold ahead of it, I AM willing to sell just the engine if you’re not interested in the whole thing. $2500 for the whole thing or $2300 for just the engine. You remove AND haul. ”
