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 .
UPDATE: Seller claims this as a Buick 231 V6, but it’s something different.
TJ shared this one. It’s a good price.

“Buick 231 odd fire engine. DOES RUN!!! Was bought for a jeep project but went another direction”
Home of the “Original Sheepherder’s Bread”, Erick Schat’s Bakkery (not a misspelling) in Bishop, California (not too far from the eastern entrance of Yosemite National Park) has a beautiful wagon parked out front.
This photo is a stock photo from the internet, so there are some lines and “A”s across it. I cleared some off, but some remain.
UPDATE: I mistakenly listed this as a 1954 ad. It am told it was actually a 1956 ad.
Andy spotted and bought this 1956 CJ-5 ad on eBay. The jeep has an odd look about it. I think it’s the 1) skinny fenders, 2) thinner than normal hood and 3) odd grille. It makes it feel a little bit like some kind of CJ-4 (though the actual CJ-4 has flattish fenders). The headlights on the grille in the ad look more like 7″ headlights on an MB grille.
For comparison, a 1955 CJ-5:
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/24/2018) Looks like this deserves some better, larger pics.

(09/11/2018) Looks like it has an early Willys Overland Half Top.

“Asking $19,000 OBO This Jeep will climb up a tree Only 60 miles driven since restoration”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $499.
Not sure how much value is here.
“no title.
Rolling Chasis – no motor or trans, or transfer case.
It has both front and rear diffs. No Windshield. Solid frame, rusty body , but I think savable.
I bought this and want to make something cool out of it, but recognize I won’t have time to get to it for at least a year and I am paying $40 per month in storage fees. So it is with a heavy heart that I put it for sale at a reasonable price hoping someone else has the time to do this rig some justice.
Price JUST reduced to only $499 – not one penny less! Located in the Largo Florida area.”
Just a few updates today …
The August 1954 issue of People Magazine did a two-page article on the women who drove jeeps for Willys Motors. It looks like they are testing a series of M-38A1s in the photos.

UPDATE: TJ spotted one of these Junior MBs for sale in Florida. The original post at the bottom is from 2010.
The Hemmings ad below includes several photos, but it’s not clear to me which of these jeeps is the one for sale (or it’s just a reseller important the jeeps and reselling them). The photos are all from the manufacturer website.

The latter half of this video shows the jeep:
Original Post May 8, 2010: Junior Replicas website. Pretty good replicas for a kids toy. They offer a variety of vehicles besides Jeeps.
From the website, “Junior Replicas Mini-Veículos para Lazer S.A. produces in Brazil, exact replicas of classic vehicles, in a scale enabling their use by children over 6 years old.
