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 .
Don forwarded us some pictures of his M-38 and M-35. It took him one year to build the M-38 from parts. I think it looks terrific!
He joked that he built it to match his M-35 and says he has to keep busy doing something, noting he doesn’t want to become a couch potato. Thanks for sharing Don!
UPDATE: The GPW Scam is back with the same pics. I’ve flagged about twenty of them over the past couple days. The price varies, but always around $5000. Below is the picture most often used:
====================================================================
FROM September 24, 2011 … Here is how the scam works.
Rob is sharing the email exchange he had with the GPW scam:
Here is the latest on the 42 GPW scam including the fake invoice from Google Checkout. The request for the Western Union money order is not how Google Checkout transfers funds.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000
“1948 Willys CJ2A has a Buick .225 V6, power lock front diff, Warren O-drive, 5.38 gears Mod 44 rear, Thorsen gears, Rancho suspension 2” lift, 33” Bridgestone duelers and a new “bestop” soft top with one set of full size doors and one set of half doors + extras. The Willys is very clean and runs great on any trail and around town, registration was just paid, clean title in hand. I also have two trailers for sale. M416 all original military jeep trailer, purchased from Camp Pendleton depot in the 70’s. The marines took the data plates off, sprayed a quick coat of white on them and sold them to the public, original camo is still hidden underneath. Second is a 6,000 lbs GVW dove tail car hauler to put the jeep on for going long distance. I am asking $7000 for the Willys and $10,000 with both trailers. I will NOT sell the M416 by itself, please don’t ask.
The Willys is in immaculate condition, I have owned it for two yrs & need room for a project car, the previous owner had it for 42 yrs. Please only serious inquiries no dreamers or tire kickers. Will send more pics to serious parties.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Maybe the plastic tubing is included?

Ralph’s CJ-2A. More on his Jeep later.
It was a gorgeous day at the WAAAM military day. Ann and I are both sun burnt and relaxing to a couple bloody marys to help us cool down. We met a lot of nice folks, sold books and t-shirts, and got to check out a variety of jeeps.
Brian, who is the resident jeep guy at the WAAAM has about eight jeeps (I lost count, so I could be wrong on the exact number) just at the museum. Some have been restored and some are hidden away in one of the ancillary hangers, which Ann and I got to see. Brian’s jeep of choice is the M-38A1, but he has a variety of them at various places he owns. After talking with Brian a bit, he offered to show us his dad’s 1976 CJ-5 that he bought new. He said it only has 5000 miles on it and sports the original LEVI package. I have never seen an original LEVI package like he showed us. Even Brian doesn’t get to drive his dad’s jeep … (see the pic at the bottom of the post – everything is original).
I wanted to thank Ralph for dropping by in his CJ-2A. He has read eWillys for a few years now and lives in Hood River. He came by to enjoy the planes, meet me and purchase a book. Later in the day we walked out to check out his jeep. Thanks for coming by Ralph!
Thanks to Blaine for dropping by as well. I’ll see you again at the FC Get Together!
Here are a few pics:
My gal just loves a big gun. We learned from one of the visitors that the reason these jeeps don’t tip over when the 106mm cannon fires is that it actually fires in two directions, backwards and forwards. She was very happy to explain this to me!
Me working hard
All Original CJ-5 with LEVI Package
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4100.
If I understand correctly, this only goes backwards? Looks nice otherwise. TH350s are cheap.
