About eWillys
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.
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 .
This seller also has a couple other running chassis.

The Heartland Museum of Military Vehicles is located at 606 Heartland Road in Lexington, Nebraska (just off I-80). What this means is that I drove right by it, 15 years ago, and didn’t know it was there; However, at the time, we were traveling with 3 vehicles, in-laws, a 6 week old baby boy, 2 cats, and a everything we owned. The trip was a 3 day move from the moraines of Madison, Wisconsin, to the mountains of SLC, Utah.
Given all the factors and distractions, I suppose it wasn’t the best time to stop at a museum. However, we did stop when the rear tire blew out on the motorhome I was driving somewhere in the middle of Nebraska. Now, I didn’t know this was the rear tire when the explosion rocked the motorhome at 65 mph. No, I was pretty sure a crack opened in the middle of the highway and the devil himself had grabbed a hold of the rear axle, attempting to pull us all to the depths of Hades. It wasn’t until I slowed (perhaps screeched) to a stop that I came to my senses (an started breathing again) and realized that it was only a tire. My next step was to clean up my pants.
Importantly, it wasn’t just a tire that blew, because something was opened by the blast …. a hole in the wheel well. Though we didn’t realize the hole was there, the cats did. So, in the middle of the night, after a long day of driving, with everyone asleep, those dumb Wisconsin farm cats (Dodger and Tucker) snuck outside (by opening one of the kitchen cabinet doors near the floor and then sneaking out the hole in the wheel well). At about 2 am, one of our cats (Dodger) started crying outside the motorhome waking us all up. It took all my effort not to strangle Dodger; the other cat, Tucker, didn’t reappear until we were packed up and ready to abandon him. By then we were actually happy to see him.
Yes, that was not a good time to visit what appears to be a fine Museum, with over 100 military vehicles of all kinds. So, just a tip, leave the cats and all your stuff at home. Here are some pics of what you’ll see.
From Dieselpowermag.com is this cool image which includes a MB SlatGrille and a M-38A1:
