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 images I shared last night came from the Toledo Lucas County Library. If you have some time, check them all out here.

This is a beautiful shot of a 6×6:
Buz forwarded me an “Air Police” jeep for sale at eBay. Clearly there are some issues with this ‘restoration’. One choice I thought was strange was the “Air Police” label itself; but, then I started doing some research and found some references to Air Police Jeeps. If Ann weren’t sleeping so soundly beside me, I’d wake her up and ask her about Air Force Jeeps. Instead, I’ll let her sleep. You can see more jeeps and learn more about them through the links below:
This is the “Air Police” M-38 for sale on eBay:

The link for the picture below doesn’t work, but I was able to capture the image.
Flint got this modified wagon as part of a trade with a reader named Dan. Since that time he’s been doing some additional suspension changes and having some fun with the paint job. His faded school bus art fooled me into thinking it had been there for years. Thanks for sharing Flint.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
“As my project draws to a close, I offer for sale this 1943 Willys 1/4T Reconnaissance Truck (jeep)(MB213995) and Willys 1/4T Trailer, Utility, restored to motorpool standards. For those of you who have not experienced military life, this means running correctly with the correct components as required to safely operate the vehicle during the WWII era. The only exception to this is the trailer which has not yet been restored, which would not stop you from driving the jeep and trailer in most parades without doing a thing to it. I have documented the entire tub off restoration of the jeep and assure you both run well. All the jeeps major systems (drive train, engine, trans, TC, electrical, fuel and brakes) have been thoroughly disassembled, cleaned, repaired or replaced and reassembled with era-correct reproduction or original NOS parts as specified in SNLG503 (the Army parts catalog for this type of vehicle). I have only really begun to return the 1944 Willys MBT trailer to it’s former glory, I serviced the wheel bearings,brakes and cosmetically cleaned up the trailer, so the new owner can have an active hand in the final restoration. The trailer will need have a wiring harness installed and mount some NDT tires to completely match the jeep. I want potential bidders to know that the trailer lunette and rims are post WWII parts from the sucessor to this model the M100. As anyone who gets bit by the “OD Fever” will tell you it’s impossible to restore one of these old warriors to working condition, by the book, without spending a few bucks along the way.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4600
