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 .
Here’s a M-151 modified for riot control. I haven’t seen this mod used too often (fortunately).
“This photo originates from the archives of the Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago Daily News, Detroit News, Sport Magazine & Many others. Most photos have never been seen by the public. These photos are not reproductions or reprints.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
Thanks Sonny for this great find. It is a screaming deal that shouldn’t last long. That’s a really rare setup.
“This is the coolest little Jeep post hole digger.
Needs a started
tires need to be filled.”
This runs and drives with an operating trencher and sports duallies.
“1958 CJ 5 Willys Jeep with a trencher attachment that was factory made for jeeps back before the industry started making trenchers for smaller jobs.
Back then it was either a shovel and pick or large diggers. This trencher fit the bill for the smaller jobs.
This unit is in complete working order and runs great. The odometer reads 4400 miles and I believe it.
The Huricane-4 motor runs smooth and does not smoke.
Also has duals on the back that are made for jeep and never seen one of these with a cab.
Price is OBO at $6500.00 Please only serouis inquirers. 314-952-two nine 61”

(07/09/2012) You can add an Oliver Dozer to the list of utility vehicles built using a Willys Engine.
“I HAVE A 1946 OLIVER CAT WITH A GAS WILLYS JEEP ENGINE THAT WEIGHS 4 TON.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
Robin spotted this unusual Franken Jeep.
“1952 M151-Style Army Jeep (tags say M38A1). 4-wheel independent suspension. Body rough. Extra motor & transmission. Bill of Sale & Inspection Certificate ONLY. $1,500.00 OBO.”
UPDATE: Was $700. **SOLD**
My initial reaction to this was, “what is wrong with you people in Alaska?”. But then, I thought better of it, realizing there are just as many crazy contraptions in every latitude. Then, thinking about it even more, I thought that bringing the exhaust over the hood might just be an impractical, funky, slightly nutty, but necessary warming solution?? Any, even better, you just never know when carrying an extra body might be useful.
“1952 Military Jeep M38A1 Originally a Fort Rich Jeep. Need Restoration but its all there. Have a spare chassis and two spare bodies 700 obo”
Runs and drives.
“Asking $1200 O.B.O.
JEEP WILLYS 4×4
This 1946 WILLYS runs and lot drives(has no brakes, so cannot be driven over the road).
Has the original 4 cylinder motor.
The body has been cut on over the years, and mods made.
All original from the dashboard forward.
The frame is rotted at the left rear spring pearch.
The passenger side of the windshield is broken.
Four wheel drive does work.
Other than what’s listed above, I believe everything else is in working order.
HAS A CLEAN AND CLEAR OHIO TITLE!
This Jeep has been used at camp up until this spring when it made the trip home, and has always run good and rides well enough to do normal camp activities. Will not part out at all! If you need something off of it you have to take the whole thing. For questions or an offer text Todd @ 419-656-2597. Also, this is for pickup only. Unless compensated for fuel in a reasonable distance there will be no shipping of the vehicle. I will not work with any shipper, and payment must be made in cash on pickup. Thanks for looking, if need more pics just ask.”

What’s not to love about this crazy contraption. It even comes with a safely rope on the passenger side and a 2×4 that stabilizes the radiator.

Mark from sellajeep.com took a variety of pictures and a couple great videos from last month’s Great Willys Picnic. If you’ve never seen a working saw driven by a PTO, then check out his page:

Here’s a line up of some of the jeeps:

(06/18/2012) Well, the price is right. Now, what does it fit?
“6′ wide by 11′ long has all hardware intact zippers, fasteners, etc
2 windows, one has small crack in plastic, one of the zippers may need a little adjustment, and the color is a bit faded on the red
probably fits a Willys”
