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 .

(04/07/2010) This MB has been a little customized.
“Willys Jeep has a mustang 6 cylinder and body is in good condition but needs paint job… Fixed up its worth anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000 depending on if its just a four wheel drive or military style. This is a real Willys and was a military Jeep, has holes for the gun in the middle and places for all the military equipment… the real clue is there is no gate that drops down in the rear… its flat. Note that is has a lot of surface rust from not being painted and paint worn in spots but all the metal is very solid on it. All vehicles sold as is, cash only.”

I was quite surprised yesterday, as I noted in my post related to the Waikiki VJ Day Video, that I spotted a mustard yellow MB with the words “SHORE PATROL” emblazoned across the windshield frame. Also interesting is the top on this jeep. See how it appears to go up before it heads back. I’m wondering if that’s a hard top of some kind?
That lead me on a trek to find any other shore patrol jeep with a color scheme that was NOT a light blue color. A quick google search of the term “Shore Patrol Jeeps” reveals an endless slew of light blue Jeeps evoking, in my mind, a Navy theme. However, despite my searches, I couldn’t locate anything other than Navy themed or Army Green Shore Patrol Jeeps.
So, to the upper right is the best snapshot I could get of the Waikiki Shore Patrol Jeep, followed by some other Shore Patrols I found around the web.
Here’s the closest example I found to the yellow one. This one has the unusual top:
From Brian’s WWII site we have this one (google says it should be at this link, but I couldn’t find it):
Here’s a different angle of the same one from Fotki:
Here’s one from the CJ-3B Page — this time a complete M-38:
Here’s a ‘Shore Patrol’ jeep that’s likely a M-38 with some other parts (unsure if this was ever a shore patrol jeep):
Here’s another ‘mutt’ of a Shore Jeep:
Here’s a nicely restored MB Shore Patrol vehicle from Argentina that I featured a while ago:
Here’s a shore patrol motor cycle from the G503 page:
This might be worth a trip to Sandpoint.
“Willeys Jeep. Grandpas project ran 7 to 8 years ago. Complete jeep with spare for parts 43 or 45. Please e-mail questions to chris@stknoxacademy.com”
