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 .
This photo was published in the February 09, 1945, issue of the Saturday Evening Post, page 12. It shows a Weasel getting a muddy test with a jeep next to it.
UPDATE: Still Available.

“1961 Willy’s Wagon PLUS 1958 complete additional vehicle for parts or separate restoration.
The 1961 looks great, runs and drives great. 283 V-8. Super clean. We just invested thousands in this classic including brand new: axles, inner and outer axle seals, all bearings, brakes, drums, hubs, brake lines, 4wd hub rebuild, exhaust, shocks and a recent clutch. You can drive it now! Looks really great.
The 1958 is all there, restoration was started years ago, but it needs work. Includes another 283 V-8, great tires, transmission and transfer case plus tones of extra parts.”
Still some work left on this custom flattie.

“I am moving & selling my Willys M38A1 projects. There are 2 titles & enough parts to build 2 rigs & extra parts left over. 3 frames, extra axles, transmissions, transfer cases, fuel tanks, 3 windshields, seats, 2 roll bars, etc. One of the Willys is in the middle of being rebuilt & will roll around. It has tires on it & has been lifted & the frame has been boxed & it is set up with an adapter to put a small block Chevy in it. The body has been media blasted, but was never primered & has been stored outside for the past few years so it has surface rust on it. The other one is completely disassembled. Only selling because of the move. Call or text. Thanks.”
There could be value here. Might have an M-38 body.

“This Willys is an uncompleted project. All components are on hand but not assembled. Engine on a stand. Head and pistons removed. Original plan was to hone cylinders, replace with new rings, rebuild distributor and reassemble. Head has been milled. Carb needs rebuild. Radiator repaired/refurbished. Was driven to my street 20 yeas ago by previous owner) and not run since. Make no claim as to drive components or brakes now. All major components on hand but completion would require several misc items. Not body-off but body and frame have been sandblasted. That alone was $700. Clear AZ title. $1550 OBO
More pictures available on request. Call for more information. Text me with email address for more pictures.”
It’s a project. Appears to have a Koenig hardtop, but with a single sideways swing door.
