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 .
Looks fast.

“1954 Jeep Willys, BBC 8-71 Weiand supercharger, 4 bolt main, blower built motor, runs on pump gas, built TH-350 with stall converter, manual valve body. Registered, insured, tags good until June 2025. Cash is preferred, but trades considered,”
There’s a lot going on here. It appears to be an M-38A1 body that sits on a non M-38A1 frame. That may have a CJ-3B hood grafted onto an M-38A1 hood?

I had this post completed, but that was before I realized this may have a $16k price tag (I’m unsure on the exact price). Anyway, I thought the rear bumper was unusual. This has a Kelly hardtop.

Bill shared this USMC Radio jeep. Note that the title may not be in the seller’s name, given it is a South Carolina title.

“FFrom what I can find out this is a rare USMC 1962 USMC Radio Jeep
Serial # 87509 DoD 8/62
1 of only 500 M38A1 Jeeps made for the Marines in 1962, I don’t know how many Radio Jeeps there were.
This one saw service as a Volunteer Fire Department Vehicle in South Carolina.
Pretty sure it was converted to 12 volts at that time.
Body is Rusty to say the least.
All of the Dash Data Plates are in tack, as well as the Radio instruments and switches.
The good part is that these Jeeps were under coated, so the frame is in really in good condition
And another plus on these Jeeps is that they were ordered with limited slip front and rear differentials.
You will not find that on any other M38A1’s.
That alone is worth the low reserve price.
I put a Battery in it, and it turns over freely
Oil looks good, radiator holds water
19345 miles on Odometer
16 X 7.50 Tires are in decent shape with no dry rot
Part it out fix it up, your choice
I do have a Transferable South Carolina Title”
Unclear what the price is on this M-38A1, but it appears in reasonably good condition. Auction is June 19th.

Steve spotted this former Fire Jeep.

“Originally a military Jeep, this Jeep was converted to a fire chasing Jeep by the Virginia forestry service and then finally used on a farm. This Jeep has the 134 cu.in. Hurricane I-4 engine with the original T-90 3 speed transmission and twin-stick Dana 18 transfer case. Jeep was converted to a 12v electrical system and has an electronic ignition system. Electric fuel pump installed. New wiper motor, master brake cylinder replaced. Jeep completely raptor lined inside and out and undercoated. Full roll cage with custom standup platform on rear. Custom rail road track front bumper and warn winch (part of the fire chase legacy). tires: new buckshot mudders, good luck getting stuck… New seats and harnesses. Blue tooth speakers and custom 360 degree led lighting. Clear title. This Jeep is not registered for on road use as it has been used on a farm in northeast Pa. Jeep is sold as is, where is.”
This seems worth a look. The back of this may have been pushed inward some.
