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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1300
This looks to be a GPW based on the front cross member.

(07/24/2011) I would be motivated to sell this jeep at the above price too!
“OWN A PIECE OF HISTORY!!! THIS WILLYS JEEP IS THE RAREST EVER PRODUCED. MY FATHER HAD THE ENGINE COMPLETELY REBUILT (HURRICANE 4) LESS THAN 500 MILES ON IT. IT IS ALL ORIGINAL. IT RUNS AND DRIVES ON THE FREEWAY. (60MPH) I OWN A CLEAN TITLE (IN MY NAME). ON THE DASH, IT READS CAMP PENDLETON (ORDINANCE DEPO). MUST SEE TO APPRECIATE. I NEED IT SOLD THIS WEEK SO I AM LETTING IT GO TO THE FIRST PERSON WITH $3850 CASH.”
Bill filed a report on his trip to Alaska.
He writes, “Back from Alaska – assumption going, it would be the land of 4 wheel drives and lots of jeeps old and new. Reality – the Toyota sedan is the vehicle of choice, Jeeps on the road from Fairbanks to Seward numbered about 2 dozen – none Willys era. Bubba lives up there – see the M38A1 grafted to a Willys wagon, the Willys truck with a Ford or Chevy bed and the Willys truck with wire wheels. There was a CJ3B fire truck I saw.“
These wagons were operated by San Juan Scenic Jeep Tours out of Ouray, Colorado. One of these is usually available on eBay.
Here are some more pics Charles found.
