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 .
Mark published an article about Pigeon’s Andy’s specially built mobile bird trailer. It’s a good story. Check out Andy, his pigeons, and his cool trailer.

Nice looking jeep.
“Restored 1951 M38 Willy’s Army Jeep – Ser. No. 24,675 MFG 9-51
The M38 only had a two year production run, during which time only 62,329 were built (compared with the nearly 650 thousand MB’s and GPW’s built during WWII). It has several unique characteristics with the WWII jeep. First with 24 volt electrical system,one piece windshield, tires sized 7×16 instead of the 6×16, and last and best of flat fender jeeps, last of the flat head 4 cylinder engines, and first jeep with true fording capabilities (sealed sparkplugs and distributer) when equipped with a snorkel and tail pipe extension and of course the removable tailgate.
Though restored, this has been changed to a 12 volt system and does not have the sealed(waterproof)plugs. So here is an M38 that no only looks good, but is road ready.
The trailer is restored and used in the Memorial Day Parade. SOLD AS A PAIR ONLY
Located in Weatherford, Texas”

(12/11/2012) I like this as a trailer. Might make an interesting project.
“1950’s military wiremans box dual rear doors and no rust. This box would make awesome look on early truck. This unit is heavy duty and made to military type spec. It comes on a trailer.”

This includes a trailer.
“1949 Willys CJ2A restored and ready to drive. Comes with a military trailer also restored. May consider trade for tractor with equipment of equal value. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
I cannot attest to the accuracy of the seller’s claims, but a kitchen on wheels is always a hit with me!
“Original Czech Army field kitchen. This one has been fully restored to working condition. Has been converted to propane burners, new receiver, new wiring and lights. Made to tow out to the field and cook lots of grub for the troops. Has a gasoline burner that heats the 2 rear pots. The third pot can be used to keep the food warm.”
Anyone recognize this harness?
“We found this while cleaning out my fathers estate. I believe it MAY be a wiring harness but I am not to sure. The condition is as you see it pictured. This device was not, will not and cannot be tested as I wouldn’t have the foggiest idea on how to do so. The cord as well as the rest of the attachments are very HEAVY! Due to the nature of this auction and my blatant lack of knowledge of these kinds of artifacts in general, I have started the bidding low with no reserve. This apparatus is being offered on an as-is and/or as-found basis. If however you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask as I will do my best to answer them to the best of my ability.”

(10/25/2012) This is a nice looking combo.
“1962 Willy’s pickup with matching willy’s trailer included, trailer is from approximately the 1950’s. Original equipment body, frame, 5 rims, glass, front bumper, and much more. New gas tank and sending unit. Things that need fixing include temperature gauge, gas gauge, wipers system and some oil leaks. Most everything else works fine but could use more attention. The engine clutch and back bumper are from a 1974 Chev 1/2 ton truck and the engine runs well. I do not deliver, buyer is responsible for making arrangements to get the vehicle. The paint looks nice but the paint preparation was not all professionally done so there are areas of the body work that are not smooth. Drives with some roughness and noise but is sound and functional. Nice vintage vehicle that is usable and fun.”
