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 .

Just a couple updates today. I’m doing backups as part of upgrade my laptop with more ram and a backup hard drive. It turns out copying 200 Gigs of jeep photos, videos, and more takes a LONG time.
btw, thanks to Dave Antram for my new T-shirt! Here’s a pic,
Here’s the photo the t-shirt is based on: (see photo on eBay)
Watch for a new M-677 Scam. Someone is trying to sell a M-677 that is owned by Dan Horenberger that isn’t for sale. I don’t have a link to the ad yet. Here’s a list of a few other car scheme scams that I found on the net.
The scammer’s is going by the name ‘Kelvin Hardy’ and uses the email kelvinhardy9880@gmail.com. The scammer is asking only $4000 and claims the vehicle is in Kansas.
Please let me know if you spot a current ad for it. Here’s one of the photos:
Here’s a good story about a young Teen named Ben Zenger reported in the Winston-Salem Journal on Wednesday. At 9 years old he decided he wanted a jeep. He saved up his own money and, with his parents approval, bought one: A 1954 M-38A1 that needs some work. Check out all the information at the website:

I did have a video below, but it auto-started with commercials, so here’s a still of Ben instead. Go to the website to see the video.
Motor Trend has a short throwback post about the February 1957 article on the FC-150. The author of the 1957 article made at least one error, accidentally indicating the engine was a Jeep six cylinder. I haven’t read the article, so I don’t know how through it is. You can view the short post here. Below is one of the story’s pics.
There are several issues of the Feb 1957 issue on eBay. Here’s a link to one of the cheaper ones along with a picture of the cover:

UPDATE: Brett noted the jeep is transporting the elephant. I originally thought the elephant was behind the jeep (after all, who transports an elephant in a jeep). Of course, sometimes they’ve been known to drive one.
Marc pointed out that this ‘Tour Jeep’ CJ-3B appears to have an extended rear. It looks like to me it can carry extra people. The photo is circa 1962 and is probably from Africa. I wish we had a side shot of it. The photo is located in France, but shipping is free.

Those are a couple hybrid jeep illustrations. Kind of a Ford GP with an early Bantam BRC side.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
Matching numbers and 99% rust free. Should fetch a good price.
“Now this is my second jeep that I’m selling. You are bidding only on the jeep, the trailer is already sold. As you probably already know, this is the jeep that ford built to go against the Bantam BRC and the Willys MA. This is a second series GP. This jeep is in excellent condition as far as rust is concerned. All panels are 100% original. It appears that the jeep might have been rebuilt by the government due to the two different layers of green of OD green paint and blue drab numbers. Like the GPW in my other auction! I bought it from the family member who inherited the jeep from his great uncle. According to some writing under the hood, the jeep was first sold in 1959. I don’t want to say 100% but I would settle for 99% rust free as a way to describe the body and frame. She is in great running condition. Just like the GPW it is matching numbers, original tags, engine and frame match. The tool boxes are 100% solid with no pitting or cancer. All the rare parts are there with the exception of the carb which I purchased and will offer to the winner of the auction at an additional cost. Front seats are original but will need repairs as the previous owner did a poor job. You will probably not find another jeep in this condition in our life time. Remember this is unrestored and solid and requires no restoration. It would be an injustice to restore this jeep. This jeep is for the collectors out there like me who prefer the all original vehicle that requires no restoration. As with all jeeps that I sell I recommend that interested parties come see the jeep in person to come up with their own conclusion as to condition and originality. Don’t let this one get away. If you have a slat grill in similar condition I would consider a partial trade. If you have a schwimmwagen, I would consider tradin up.”
