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 .
The jeep is listed as a 1948 and the price $2. Not sure if that’s $2000 or just a placeholder for best offer.

The photo was published in the June 12, 1941, issue of the Madera Tribune.
“U. S. Army’s celebrated little “jeep” or “blitz buggy* technique, as shown here. Camouflage removed to into a hole under camouflage to provide new fightin ” which seems to go everywhere these days, now goes take picture, during maneuvers at California’s Ft. Ord. Captain William A. Dodds designed mount for .50-caliber gun.”
This story reported on May 29, 1944, in the Madera Tribune shares the story of how some soldiers played Santa using a jeep.
Craig spotted this article in Autoweek about the descendent of the Kaiser M-715, the Kia KM450. It’s still been built, albeit with an updated power train. Still, comparing the pics, it’s amazing they still look as close as they do.
PIc of M-715 with similar stake bed setup:
This jeep served two different jeeps. What I found interesting is that the tag is still on it, identifying it as a Sears and Roebuck winch. It would be interesting to see if the original ad for the winch indicated it’s use was for a jeep.

“This is a very nice classic vintage (1940s) fully working allstate winch sold by Sears, it was originally installed in a 1947 CJ2A but later transferred to a 1956 DJ3A, the long metal base is 33″ long, the metal plate where the mechanism sits is 15″ long, the mechanism alone is 13″ long, the cable is 3/8 in diameter”
Not a perfect restoration, but looks in good condition.

“This is one of the last 2 of 9 military vehicles sold from my collection. In addition to this jeep I’m also selling 1953 m38a1. I bought this Jeep from an individual who did a partial restoration with the most important restoration being the rebuilding of the engine. I would describe its current condition as being Fair to Good. It starts right up and drives well. I replaced the original hood with a reproduction hood but kept the original hood should a buyer want it. It came painted as an Army Jeep but since I served in the Marines I put Marine paint and markings on it. The photos fairly well show the condition of the jeep. It also comes with a tow frame to be attached on the front and some odds and ends. The tires and tubes are relatively new. The Jeep has a MS title with 1945 MS Historical legal license plate. It has been stored in a closed garage and seldom left outside. It does have a tendency to slip out of 2nd gear, which I am told is coming for this model. Interested parties are encouraged to personally inspect and drive the vehicle. Located in Diamondhead, MS.”
This may have some Cutlas Bulldog hubs.

“This is one of last 2 of 9 military vehicles sold from my collection, It is is a M38A1 and is in fair to good condition. I describe this jeep as being partially restored. While it does have some minor rust, it would not take much effort to restore it. The body is complete and seems to be in decent shape. Add a new paint job and you will have a nice looking jeep. The jeep runs and drives very well. It starts right up and the brakes seem to also work well. The tires are dry rot and need to be replaced. It comes with a nicely done Plastic Replica 30 caliber machine gun with 4+ ‘ stand and 30 caliber cartridge box (needs to be installed on Jeep) plus what appears to be a Vietnam era flak jacket. Interested parties are encouraged to personally inspect and drive the vehicle. It does not have a title and I doubt it has ever been titled.”
