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 .

“M-170 is the long wheel base ambulance version of the standard military Jeep. This Jeep is in excellent running condition with a freshly overhauled engine, new clutch and battery. The body is in good condition with no rust issues. Is is under a “non-op” registration but is street legal. It needs a windshield. The tires are new but the wheels and tires are not original military. An excellent candidate for restoration or use as is for running the hills.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000.
(07/08/2012) The seller notes that he is the first civilian owner. There are pictures of it apart and together; I’m assuming it is together?
“1952 M-38 MILITARY JEEP. I AM THE FIRST CIVILIAN OWNER. THE JEEP IS IN ORIGINAL CONDITION. THE ENGINE HAS BE COMPLETELY REBUILT, A NEW WIRING HARNESS, NEW TIRES, NEW TOP (DOORS AND SIDE PANELS) MASTER CYLINDER. THERE ARE ALLOT OF EXTRAS TO GO WITH THIS
UPDATE: Still Available
“For sale is our 1948 Willys CJ2A. When we got the Willys it had a 1950’s F-head engine in it, which required an ugly hood scoop. I purchased a correct flat-head engine for it, had the engine rebuilt (new bearings, oil pump, etc.), new clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, new carb, trans seals, etc. Much nicer.
The pictures are a combination of before and after the engine swap, but hopefully I will get some better new pictures shortly.
It is a cool little vehicle and fun to putt around in. Clear Texas title in my name.
As to the trades, just let me know if you have something cool to trade. Not interested in boats however.
Please call/text 214-477-5807 or reply to the ad if you want more info or to come see it.”

OVERVIEW | Day 1 – March 20th: Dinner and Salt –>
UPDATE: This page originally covered our anticipated trip, but now that It is finished, it’s a summary page.
Southwest / California trip March 20-May 1, 2014.
We finally made it home to Pasco. It took us six weeks and one day to make the loop through the mountain west, into the southwest, and northward into California and Oregon. We covered a distance of 6,378 miles.
Once again, we have to give thanks to everyone who met with us, supported or followed our journey. We feel very fortunate to have these periods of time to travel with one another and see so much of this great country. Hopefully, you’ve enjoyed our trip and learned something new about a place you never knew.
We appreciate all the suggestions everyone gave us and we’re sorry we couldn’t followup on all of them. I know I’d hoped to drop by and see Paul Barry at Willys America or Jerry at his truck/wagon shop in Rodeo, CA. However, since my daughter is supposed to be in Los Angeles in the fall/spring of next year, I figured we would be back down there soon enough and will stop by both places.
Here are links to our daily reports:

What I find interesting about this ad forwarded by Marc is the emphasis on Ethyl being a trademark name. Ethyl had already been around for twenty years by the time this ad was published, so I wonder what prompted this type of ad.

Ann forwarded this link to me. Is it possible the author was actually paid for this post? I’m not sure if the article or the comments are funnier.

The windshield has the square washer washers. It could use some glass, too.
