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 .
Pics are a little dark. A 35,000lb winch? That’s either a misprint or a bit of overkill.

“complete off frame restored, all new parts used, up-dated with power steering, new top (best top), new seats- plus, new over size tires mounted on new over size chrome wheels, 35,000 lb wench, has draw bar for towing, same body type as war jeeps.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000.
Looks solid. Not a perfect restoration, as it diverges from stock. Note the color of the pedals and shifters.
“1946 Jeep Willy’s. This Jeep is amazing. It had a frame-off restoration on it 7-8 years ago. The motor has been rebuilt. It has a new tub and hood and I have all of the receipts for the parts from the restoration as well as a service manual. It runs and drives great. Only has 24 miles on it since the restoration.”
Maury shared this ad for 4 Renegade rims. These aren’t too easy to find.

Marty spotted this combo.
“T18 transmission with wide radio/granny low. Includes adapter to Dana 20 transfer case. Bought it for my old Jeep but went a different direction. Never ran it, but it was reportedly rebuilt 30k mi ago. Probably at least needs a flush since it’s been sitting in my shop for 2 years now.
$500”
Are those all holes drilled in the back of the body?

“1941 1942 Willy’s Jeep Body no title wholesale only”
Looks in pretty good shape.

“Aluminum top, I believes it’s from Sears.”
It sounds like this is a homemade reproduction?
https://gulfport.craigslist.org/pts/d/picayune-m38-tub/7166067404.html
“Exact reproduction of a 1953 M38 Willys Jeep tub. Made with an original sitting next to it. Never used. $2000 a bit negotiable”
Unsure how much value is here.

“1945 ford gpw military Jeep no motor has transmission and transfer case no title”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
I’m not sure which hardtop this is.
“Hard top that fits 1950’s Jeeps (M38/38A-1, CJ5). In fair shape. Has suicide doors. Dropped price from $550 to $500.
CASH ONLY.”
Just this one post for Tuesday …
A search of Jeep parades at Newspapers.com revealed endless WWII and post-WWII jeep parades for a myriad of causes. Below is a sample:
This August 08, 1943, photo and article published in the Charlotte Observer highlights a jeep parade held for Army Air Force recruitment.
A June 17, 1942, blurb in the Marysville Journal Tribune noted that Marlene Dietrich and 100 jeeps would be parading in Toledo for a War Bond drive.
Sinbad the dog, a decorated 8-year veteran of the Coast Guard, got his own jeep parade according to a January 09, 1946, article in the Marysville Journal-Tribune out of Ohio.
The March 06, 1946, issue of The Leader-Post out of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, reported that the first 100 jeeps to be imported into Colombia formed a parade in Bogota.
