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 .
The nose needs some readjustment.

<– Day 1- March 18th-19th: Phoenix Az or Bust! | Overview | Day 3 Part II – March 20th Part 2: Canyon De Chelly National Monument –>
Exploring just northwest of Moab, Utah, with the La Sal Mountains int he background.
We began the morning in Moab. Our goal was to explore Moab some, then head south for Canyon De Chelly, then onward to Phoenix.
This post covers the first part of our drive, from Moab towards Canyon De Chelly. Canyon De Chelly is covered in follow up second post.
Our first stop of the day was north of Moab along Highway 313. It’s BLM land were I used to camp when visiting Moab. I’d throw a sleeping back on the slick rock and sleep under the stars. That was back in 2000-2003. Now, this area is closed to camping. It is one of the downsides of the rise in tourism in the area.
Next, we continued along Highway 313 toward Dead Horse Point State Park. It’s has amazing vista overlooking Canyonlands National Park, with it’s twisting, turning rivers wriggling amongst a vast rocky landscape. The views are incredible, even on a cloudy morning. I’m sure on a sunny, cloudless morning, the rock would be a bright reddish-orange.
Roberto just completed an illustration of a Jeepster. He’s thinking of creating some black t-shirts with the Jeepster on it. If you are interested in having him do that, comment below or contact him at http://www.robertoflores.com
Art’s favorite military supply store, Supply Sergeant, is in his old stomping ground of Bakersfield, CA. The store includes a M-38.
Here’s the original post from Facebook at Jeep Thing
UPDATE: This could be a blue star hardtop. The photo was on eBay.
The jeep is small in the photo, but I thought the hard top looked interesting. The rear window has an angle in back and it looks like the front door has a very small window. This is a reprinted photo.
Good price on a large, hard to find ad.
“This is a 1945 Vintage magazine advertisement for Mobiloil/Any G.I. on Any Jeep will tell you Regular machine service in “Gospel in the Army.” This is an original advertisement that was featured in Life magazine.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This runs and drives and includes a trailer!
” I completely rebuilt this Jeep in 2005, ground up. Engine overhaul, brakes, steering, everything rebuilt or replaced as needed. Transmission and transfer were overhauled and the 4WD works great. It has a new body and the tub was sprayed with bed liner inside and underneath. I converted it to 12V for better lighting. It has some surface rust, but NO rust through.
It has been sitting in my shed for several years due to my disability, but was completely serviced and driven last month. I removed the steering wheel so I could in it, I’m fat!”
UPDATE: Was auctioned on eBay. **SOLD**
This is a great restoration of a rare Ford M-38. I wish the pictures were bigger.
“This is one of the nicest M38’s in Canada. It was restored approximately 10 years ago. Driven for 1 year and stored in a climate controlled environment since. Jeep runs like clock work – everything works. A lot of NOS parts were used throughout the restoration.

The seller claims the only body mod is the hood scoop, but the drain hole has been filled and the bow holders removed. I’m only being picky, because the seller wants a lot for it. This does have the square bow holder windshield brackets, three data plates, and the full floating rears. This must have been a really early VEC. It only has 1 hood latch.
