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 .
Here are two great nightscape pictures by Rob Cord of the jeep sculpture at Borrego Springs. He owns and operates Driven2Perfection. Rob’s grandparents live near Borrego Springs and he has been visiting the area yearly for thirty years. He’s a Willys nut who has this CJ-2A for sale. Thanks for sharing Rob!
Mark forwarded a linke to Carhenge, an outdoor sculpture just outside Alliance, Nebraska. It turns out a Willys Truck was one of the vehicles used to create it. If we have time, we’ll stop by here and check it out on our way back from the East Coast.
There are a variety of pictures of Carhenge on Flickr. Below is part of one.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
There’s an explanation of this card at this-old-jeep.com.

Someone asked me about bow bracket windshield bolts, but I forgot who.
Claus found the answer. Up to S/N 22xxx the bolt heads(?) were square. After S/N the bolt heads were rounded. He can confirm that he had a CJ-2A of 225xx that had rounded ones, so it had to be before that 2A.
In August of 1946 Fortune published an article called “Willys Overland”. The description reads, This jeep riding independent is taking new leases on life and its own real estate. The boys in the back room are doing fine.

This former movie jeep looks like a good restoration candidate.
“1952 Willys M38 Jeep used as team vehicle in Major League 3 “Back to the Minors”
The movie production company rented this Jeep from me and painted the black “bumblebee stripes” on it in 1998 for the movie.
Click on the link below, to the movie and at 12 minutes into the movie, you will see the Jeep drive into view during the airport scene………………..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3iq9u0Bhj0
The Jeep is rust free and has been stored inside my warehouse for the past 30 years, except for the week it was used to film the movie.
This M38 is in extremely good condition and rust free. I bought thisM38 Jeep from the South Carolina Highway Department on Shop Road, in Columbia, SC. The SCHD shop used it as a “pusher” on their yard since the mid 1950’s, hence the extremely low miles under 5000. Please view posted photos!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4200.
Besides missing the rear of the jeep, it doesn’t have ww2 axles. So, I would suggest looking this over carefully.
“1944 GPW military flat fender Jeep – 5 new all directional tires (military stock) – runs perfect – 12 volt conversion – clean title and current registration –
PS: This is cash and carry ONLY – don’t bother me with the BS stories of being away, or being on an off-shore rig, or having your “agent” be in touch – I will not reply and simply forward your email to the scam and phishing folks at craigslist and local law enforcement.”
