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: **SOLD** Was $8000
(01/04/2015) Looks like it might be a good price.
“This is a 1962 Willys Jeep and trailer. The Jeep is in good condition and has a 4 cylinder engine. The Jeep has been mostly used in parades. The top and heater are included, but not installed. It runs well and the 4×4 works well. There are no side curtains. The Jeep was built for the USMC. I am asking $8000 or best offer. Please text or email with questions.”
Price is for both. Neither run. I think only one is pictured.
“2 1940’s M38 jeeps. One is in good condition, the other is fair condition. Not running now. Engine turns over. Been sitting for a while. $4500 for both”

Mark just listed this over at war jeeps.com.
“an original jeep that was released from the Canadian Army in the late 1980’s, vehicle drives and runs great. Still has DND markings on it with all tarps.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,000.
It is missing a few parts on the dash. The seller notes this is a frame off restoration, but one of the pics shows the primer being applied with the body (and other parts) still attached to the frame. Maybe I’m just confused.
“M38A1 MILITARY ARMY POLICE JEEP. THIS IS THE REAL DEAL TOTAL FRAME OFF RESTORATION. THIS JEEP WAS THE BEST JEEP I HAVE EVER RESTORED. UNBELIVEABLE RUST FREE BODY.
