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 $2000
(06/28/2010) It’s priced a bit high given the amount of work left. It’s got some old school steel wheels.

“1952 WILLYS JEEP M 38 Runs great! The body is in excellent condition! Here is what has been altered: The second battery box (which was removed and bonded over). This was done before I received the Jeep. The 24 volt system was removed and the 12 volt put in its place. Also, I added power steering! The motor is a Buick V6 225 that was taken from a scrambler and placed in the jeep. It can climb a tree! It has a 3 speed transmission out of a 1968 CJ5. The transfer case is from a 1968 CJ5 as well. Both the transmission and the transfer case are the same make that used to be put in the earlier willys. I’ve also got a few extra parts for this jeep that you can have at no additional cost. Just to be clear this jeep is completely off-road ready! It doesn’t smoke at all and there are no unusual noises. My number is 928-607-1120. email, call, or text. I have additional pictures. Come take a look!!!”
