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 .

This includes an extra body and parts.

Marc and his son were driving in Anderbolt (South Africa) when his son spotted this beautiful truck sitting in a showroom at Boston 4×4 Accessories. If you are in South Africa, check out their store.
He writes, “This truck is their company demo vehicle for the 4×4 accessories and parts they supply under the name of Boston 4×4 Accessories, +27 11 914 3004 or sales@boston4x4.co.za. and are located in Anderbolt, Boksurg, Gauteng, South Africa. I see their web page is down, under construction.
It has a small block V8 (ford) but I didn’t learn the transmission set up. I could not find the data plate for the serial number any where. As noted in the photos, this truck is right hand drive, not a factory mod. Done way after it left the US.”
Paul’s made some progress on his Willys. You can read past posts about his jeep, Knardly Rolls, here: http://www.ewillys.com/tag/paul-m38/
Paul writes, I’m using thin poster board to make patterns for the interior panels on the Willys. Since the reinforcing structure for the top and doors will be visible from the inside and not covered by upholstery I’ve had to make 33 individual paper patterns so far. After adjusting the fit of these patterns I’ll transfer their measurements to 3/4 inch thick high density foam and then it’s time for the upholstery wizards to work their magic. Fourteen yards of fabric are on order so that should be enough to cover everything but the floor. All of the top and side wall panels will be covered with a silver gray fabric and this same fabric will be used on the seats with the exception of blue insert panels covering the center of the seats. That’s the plan right now. I still need to buy some thick upholstery foam so I can begin cutting out the padding for the seats but I wanted to finish with the patterns first.
More pattern pictures. To have enough room to make the patterns and install the upholstery pieces it was necessary to remove the fuel tanks and both front seats. The more work I can do myself the lower the cost will be to get the upholstery done so I don’t mind constantly climbing into and out of the Willys all day long. Things would be a lot easier if the Jeep was just a little bit bigger or I was just a little bit smaller. Oh well, I guess I need to call a Waaaaaaaaaambulance. Paul
Charles explained that these are photos of Padre Van Der Goten, a beloved priest in the Belgian Army. According to this Wikipedia article, his jeep’s motto was “Belgian’s Can-Do Too”, pictures of which we saw in this post.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
Here’s an unusual photo.
“This is an original 5×7 black and white photo. Showing an Army Jeep pulling an anti-aircraft gun behind it in a parade. My guess would be late 1940’s by the looks of the cars in the back ground. Great Vintage photo to look at!
Not sure of the exact time frame or location. The back of the photo is stamped with
Photo by Bill Shoopman, Odessa Texas”
Roger reports this ’48 Jeepster sold for $22,500 today at the 2014 Kissimmee Mecum Auction.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price
Here’s an unusual setup.
“Owned by a local irrigation district and used to haul concrete to canal since the 60’s. Back has been cut out to allow dump to operate and passenger seat is gone so dump parts could be placed there, Engine does not appear to be original but runs and was maintained but needs a good tune up. Spent 200 on rebuilding dump so I could haul concrete threw narrow openings and haul rocks. Have not used it since I rebuilt it but did try it a few times. Dents from years of abuse. Original stars. No data plates or title. Irrigation district lost title and some dumb deputy told them to sell it to get a salvage only paperwork. Tried to explain to them what they did but they were not getting it. Said this is fine since it was told to them by a deputy. I do have a bill of sale. And if you can get them to understand great. Does have numbers on frame. I wanted to trade it for a Minelab metal detector or a White Detector and probe and hoops worth about 1500. ie: a V3i white or Minelab Safari. Might have tail light covers and a few smalls that go with the M38A1. (Triangle on back not included)”
