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 .
How about his unique photo? A Bantam BRC-40 with some kind of shovel or bucket attachment! Allan Hetteen is operating the jeep while David Johnson and H.P. Borah watch.

Hugo spotted this recently published ad which shows a VW pulling a Willys Wagon out of the mud. I prefer to think of it as the Wagon winching the VW backwards 🙂
He writes, “It is an advertisement of a brand new VW Amarok pulling of an old Willys. Is it fair? We could say:” stuck but still running!” Plates seem to be from Chile, but the willys could be an argentinian Estanciera. Journal is from Uruguay.”

I would be easy to make fun of the use of ‘planes’ in the below text, but I make enough mistakes that I won’t cast any stones. However, I didn’t know there were plains in Lake Havasu. The year is clearly incorrect.
“Jeep Jeep! What a catch. Reel it in. 51 Willys from the planes of Lake Havasu and Wyoming. This very peppy classic Jeep was one of the first civilian Jeeps available in America. Fully restored to its original glory with a lift in the springs, stock Hurricane motor rebuilt and the L Head Flowmaster exhaust. Also comes with original hardtop. This Jeep has had no rust issues. Runs like a dream”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Steve’s got his rebuilt M-38 for sale. Check out the last picture on this post to see how this jeep looked when he started work on it. Well done!
“Take a look at this completely rebuilt beautiful 1951 Willys M38 Army Jeep. Serial # MC33376
This jeep was rescued from a gentleman in Virginia Beach, Virginia in 2012. It underwent a frame off rebuild. I’ve owned over thirty jeeps and have rebuilt/restored approx. 22 of them and have sold them successfully on e-Bay. This Jeep had been used heavily during it’s active life and was in desperate need of rebuild. (I’ve included two before pictures towards the bottom of the listing) The frame and drive train were complete but needed some repair work. The engine is a correct MC engine made by Willys of France in excellent shape – it runs great and is very powerful. I had to replace the tub with a reproduction tub, but most of the other components are original Willys. (i.e. fenders, hood, grill, windshield, seat frames). The jeep has its military components de-commissioned – i.e. water fording gear removed, and 24 volt converted to 12 volts, civilian WO carburetor .
Everything has been gone through on this jeep and everything has been sand blasted, cleaned, repainted, or replaced with new, NOS, or repro parts.
Chassis and Drive Train: four new leaf springs , new shackles, new shocks, new axle bumpers, frame stripped/blasted and painted, some components repaired (used some similar CJ3A parts) new front bumper, new u-joints, new clutch and bearing, new seals and bearings on tranny and transfer case which were drained and cleaned repainted, and all fluids and gaskets replaced, new e-brake pads, hardware, and cable, new engine/tranny mounts, new brakes including all lines and hoses, new master cylinder, four new wheel cylinders. New steering wheel, new rear bumperettes, authentic pintle hook. Five vintage 7.00×16 NDCC tires (they are older but in great shape)on blasted and painted 16” original rims.
UPDATE: Was $9999. **SOLD**
This comes with a trailer.

Needs paint to be back to original but otherwise is in good shape”
