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 .

Travelling tonight. Updates tomorrow (tuesday) including a report on our visit to the WAAAM.
Here’s pic from the WAAAM. I’m also tentatively scheduled to be back at the WAAAM during the second weekend of May for a book signing.
Here’s us at Washington State’s “Stonehenge” around noon on Monday. That’s the Columbia River in the background.

The engine runs.

“Nice original 4 x 5 inch Signal Corps photo taken by the 167th Signal photo company of 11th Armored Division soldiers bringing back two captured German prisoners. Notice the M3 grease gun and .30 cal. on this super clear photo. The soldiers in the photo are idd on the back as is the photographer with a date of Jan13, 1945. Check out my other auctions for more original WW1 and WW2 photos”

This isn’t stock, but appears to be a solid rig.
“This is a 1951 M38 Willys Jeep. Originally built for the US Military, it was sold as surplus in 1963, still unused in its wooden crate.It was bought by a family who converted it back then, to a GM V6 Fireball engine, free wheeling front hubs, and GM truck front brakes. It was used by this family for the next 46 years as a hunting vehicle. I bought it 3 years ago with 7,500 miles on the clock, which may or may not be accurate. I have added 2,000 miles since then.
I have had the vehicle completely restored during the 3 years, and just about everything has been either renovated, replaced or repaired. EVERYTHING! I use it as my local daily driver, and it has always been a hoot to drive, with about 160 hp instead of 65 hp. Everything works perfectly. It has a complete all weather Beechwood cover as well. It also has a towing bar.
It has been welcomed in all the 4th July parades and gets more attention at car gatherings than Ferraris’!
It is not 100% original, but it does look the part, and everyone smiles when they see it. You can even invade small countries at the weekend with it.
There is a reserve on it, equal to about what I have invested in it during my ownership, but I will not disclose this, so please do not ask.
Obviously there is no warranty, implied or otherwise, and I reserve the right to end the auction early as the car is for sale locally.”

I’m taking Sunday evening off. Besides, a new episode of Downton Abbey is on tonight. Yes, I’m hooked and I blame Ann and her mother for this!
I’m heading to be early. No updates until tomorrow night when we get back home.
