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 .
UPDATE: Price dropped to $7000

(12/16/2011) It looks nice enough, but whenever someone claims a jeep is restored to “exact specifications”, yet I see right away non stock hubs, I become a little leery. However, generally is looks pretty good.
“1951 Willys CJ-3, M38 (MC) 1/4 ton Military, 4X4, original 2199 cc 4 cyl motor and 3-speed manual transmission. Total product 61,423 how many are left? This is a restored example and is equipped with all ORIGINAL extras: military riffle-bayonet with dash mount, extra gas tank, 2 shovels, axe, field phone with extra battery, rear seat, spare tire, owners repair bible and extra parts. Only 73,050 original miles, carefully restored to exact specifications. Finished in Olive Drab with correct White stars and numbers. Runs and drives great, parade ready. Own a piece of military history. Now on display at the home of “over the top cars””
The seller lists this as a “Willys MB”, but I’m pretty sure this is a M-38. I wouldn’t bring it up, except that the seller is the one that wants someone to “respect the history of this fine automobile.”
“This jeep is awesome. It speaks for itself, runs like a dream, and puts a huge smile on your face while driving around. Does get tons of attention, so be prepared to talk a lot about it. I am more interested in a trade rather than selling.
Rides I’ll consider: Classic American Muscle 60’s to late 70’s, 1980 Corvette, classic trucks.
Please no spam, and don’t need to sell so no idiotic offers. Must also love jeeps and respect the history of this fine automobile.
I am bringing it to my mechanic to have him put new brakes on this week. Better to be safe in this mini-tank.”
