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 .
Not quite bone stock, but looks fairly close (front bumper certainly isn’t stock).

Engine is out. Has a Meyer hardtop.
“1954 willies M38A1. This Jeep has been good to us but I ran er out of oil and all the kids have fledged. I pulled the motor and it is in the back of the jeep. It has a removeable hard top with solid doors. We put many miles on it and now its your turn. Best offer gets a piece of history. This jeep still has the machine gun mounts in the back but you have to find your own machine gun. will consider trade.”

(06/24/2017) This is hodgepodge of an MB Body on a postal chase with a Nissan engine/tranny. It is 2WD.
“Offering my 1943 Willys Jeep Rat Rod! This has been an awesome toy but I need the room for other projects. 43 Willys body on Jeep postal carrier frame. Nisson Z engine and 5 speed tranny, Comfortable Peugot velour seats with waterproof covers, Bimini top, new tires and wheels, and tow bar. Everything works except the speedometer! Runs excellent and is a lot of fun to drive! This is a one-of-a-kind must see!”
Roger Martin reported on hi Southwest Ohio FC Gathering last weekend.
He wrote, “Over 30 FC’ers and friends spent part of their weekend at the Third Annual FC Gathering, July 14-16. The weather was hot but dry. There were 6 visiting FC trucks, one of which was a military M677 and one had a trencher. There was an early jeep pick-up (and even a 1936 MG Police Car…the only one in the US and one of two in existence. The owner was in Ohio for a show and stopped by to see the FC’s. He has an FC170 but did not have it with him.) There were 11 other FC’s on site for a total of 17 FC trucks in all. A few parts were traded.”
UPDATE: The world can be such an amazing place sometimes. Last night we got to spend time with Hugo Vidal and his son Fernando. Hugo’s memories of his 1955 trip are very clear, enough so that he’s writing a book about the adventure. His book begins with Operation Pineapple and will end with Alaska Or Rust.
Hugo was enjoying looking through the Willys News periodicals from the mid 1950s. He recognized some of people in them.
Originally posted June 23, 2015: The CJ-3B page does a good job covering the history of Operation Pineapple, a 1955 trip by three Sao Paulo Boy Scouts: Hugo Vidal, Charles Downey, and Jan Stekly. You can read everything about it here: http://cj3b.info/Finds/FindsPineapple.html. The Allpar site has additional information and a later photo of Hugo: http://www.allpar.com/racing/road-rally/operation-pineapple.html
Adding to those links, I have found a couple additional photos and more information about the trip. The first photo was published in the September 1955 issue of Willys News:
Note the missing tire on the spare rim. Hugo says they went through eleven tires. During their trip they had no mechanical issues.
California’s Lodi News-Sentinel published a story about the last leg of their trip on January 18, 1956.
