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 .

(09/03/2017) This has the body and front clip of an M-38, but it has a PTO bar on the rear, suggesting the frame might be civilian.
“Jeep is tagged as a 1949 Willys based on tub serial #.
Runs great and driveable as is. It is not perfect and has a few minor things here and there but is a great Jeep. It does not have a rear seat or top. It does have a rear PTO winch and the PTO is there intact. 4×4 does work. Brakes work but for their age and technology are relative.
Tires seem ok and I drive on them but you may want to get new ones. 3spd manual transmission. 4cyl motor.”

Body looks in good shape.
“jeep body and parts good windshield”
