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 .

“1962 Military Jeep M38-170 Ambulance fully restored. Time to let someone else enjoy it. Has sentimental value. ”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $15,000
(03/28/2015) “This is a restored M170 Willys Ambulance as a troop transport. Comes with an M101 3/4 ton dump trailer as well – been using it in military parades Bandera/Utopia area. Time to move on to something else. Powerful – engine rebuilt, along with tranny, transfer case, wheel seals, etc. New exhaust, everything works except emergency brake. All there just not hooked up. Good canvas, have the doors, new seat pads in the back, no rust to speak of. Very rare, extended wheel base and not the “tip over” typical M38A1. Would make an excellent vehicle to transport hunters to blinds.”
The black CJ-2A might run (top pic). You’ll need a big trailer.

“1954 willys jeep model M170 military ambulance. Drive train is complete. I have extra pieces like top bows and air cleaner. The body is rough but repairable the engine is not running but is free turning. The original 24volt components are still with the jeep. The front fenders do come with the truck but are badly dented. The frame is extremely solid. This jeep does come with a Clean and clear TN title. Great for Father Son project. These jeeps are a rare 101 inch wheel base version. Many parts are available for this jeep including the sheet metal.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $1750.
The driver’s side of the tub has been cut some, but there still may be value here. PICS: http://s263.photobucket.com/user/mjs-13/library/1962%20M170%20Military%20Jeep%20Mar%202015
“1962 M170 US Military Jeep 4WD Extended Wheelbase Ambulance
This very rare M170 Extended Wheelbase 4WD Jeep is one of about 4,000 built for the US Government. Overall the body on the Jeep is in pretty good condition as it is over 50 years old. There are a few rust spots on the body as shown in the pictures. The frame and chassis are in nice condition. Many of the unique M170 Ambulance parts are included with this Jeep including 3 unique seats, wiring, the ambulance stretch dash brace and more. The front lights are in the Jeep and the rear military tail lights are missing. The windshield frame is excellent along with the hood and other parts. The windshield glass is broken. The floors on the Jeep are better than expected for a Jeep this age. I do not have the spare tire or top material.
Mechanically this Jeep has not run in years. Under the hood the Jeep is basically complete less the alternator and starter which are INCLUDED but not installed on the Jeep. All the 24 volt electrical system is complete. The Jeep rolls fine however it has no brakes and the transfer case is stuck in neutral. The wheels are original and the military tires hold air.
A neat & rare old Military Jeep with a lot of the unique parts that needs a complete restoration.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800
(10/23/2014) No word as to whether it runs or not.
