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 $4500.
“Leave the tow rig at home, this jeep gets 25+ mpg and cruises at 70 mph. Built with an all DOM tube chassis it’s super strong and only weighs 2000 lbs. Has long arm 4 link suspension for a lot of travel off road.
The entire drivetrain is from a 4 cyl. 1997 wrangler. Fuel injection and emissions are hooked up. Why show up at the trail in a rig that looks just like everybody elses?”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.

With only 26,000 miles, this M-38 should have plenty of miles left. Except for the winch, it looks pretty stock to me.
” 26K original miles! Always stored inside. Runs!!! Electric wipers, aux. battery, warn winch, spare tire. Sadly must sell”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4200
There’s been a good deal of modifications to this M-38.

Hurray! My wiring harness arrived today, taking only 3 days to get here. I pulled the harness out of the package and checked out the wiring. It looks like the wiring is heavy duty enough for my needs. The lengths appear reasonable and everything looks organized.
Painting update: I just got an email that my paint has finally shipped. I suspect that, unless it arrives by saturday, I’ll be delaying the painting I hoped to do this weekend. I’ve got the hood, fenders and grille ready for paint. The body is about 90% ready. Everything should be ready by tomorrow.
How to structure the Oil Pump in a buick v6 can be a bit of challenge if you read various web pages. Should you use a high volume oil pump or not (the high volume oil pump is simply larger gears and a spacer to accommodate those gears)? On the 225 v6 the general answer seems to be ‘no’ unless you drill out the oil holes for the middle two main bearing holes (these are smaller than the outer ones according to what I’ve read).
The 1980 and 1981 3.8L v6 engines that I have both came with the high volume pumps. After doing research, I couldn’t get a clear answer on how good these pumps were for these later model engines. So, I turned to TA Performance to see if I could get an answer. They said using the high volume pump was fine, but recommended I use a variable pressure controller (in the pic above, you can see the old spring and nut sitting in front of the new double-nut & spring that’s already installed) and a hardened steel plate that sits underneath the gears to reduce wear (seen in the pic to the right).
I installed everything, but discovered that the gears are too tight, so they don’t spin properly (you can test this by taking out the distributor, sticking a screwdriver into the oil pump drive gear, and turning). Therefore, I’m ordering a set of shims from TA Performance to fix the problem.
