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 .

“I am selling my 1951 willys project. It does not run or drive. It is a project and needs finishing. It started out life as a stock 51 and since has undergone some transformation. The frame has been lengthened 36 inches and boxed front to back. I built the entire tub from 1/8 inch plate steel. 3 inches wider than stock It has Dana 44 front and rear with 4.56 gear ratio and lockers front and rear. Axles were built and have not even had oil put in them. Front diff has passenger side drop. Leaf springs are brand new 2.5 inch wrangler soft ride lift springs. All hangers and shackles are brand new. Has 4 brand new shocks not mounted yet.
Gm 4.3 throttle body not wired yet, but has ecm and all wiring. It has a turbo 350 in it now but was just put in to get engine placed. It has 2 sets of nice adjustable bucket seats out of 2 mini coopers and a small bench seat out of a geo tracker in the rear. Brand new drilled and slotted brake rotors. Needs calipers, drive shafts, radiator, etc. I started to build this jeep so my whole family would fit, but all the kids decided they wanted four wheelers instead. Now I don’t have time to finish it. It is a really cool piece but it just needs the right guy/girl to give it the finish they want. Come take a look, I have lots of time, money and energy into this jeep. My loss is your gain.”
Seth found this photo of a stretched M-38A1 with extra seats parked at a Walmart. Looks like there’s a small sign attached to the beer case that indicates this may be in Virginia near the National Museum of the Marines
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was on eBay

UPDATE: This wagon was listed for auction on ebay in 2011, but didn’t sell. The other day Buz spotted the forum where the builder documented how he constructed it. It’s worth a look. The wagon isn’t currently for sale. The forum starts at page 7 of 7 then goes to page 1 and then forward (some system glitch at car domain).

Here’s a cool, custom 4 door truck.
“What you see here is a 1948 willys crewcab custom conversion, the back doors are suicide mounted. The conversion was done about 10 years ago and has held up very well. The interior has a stock bench rear seat, with a storage well beneath it. The front seats are cavalier buckets(grey) that do not match the buckskin on the rest of the interior. The truck has been on the road for the better part of decade and needs some freshening (to your tastes). The drivetrain is a Fresh rebuilt 454, .030 over with .500 lift cam and big oval heads, has performer intake with new performer carb, headers and a light porting on the heads. This thing is a tourque monster! will burn the tires at will.Tranny is a turbo 350 rebuilt approx. 2000 miles ago with a shift kit and billet internals, transfer case is np205 gear drive with 1350 rear joints, 1310 front joints. Front axle is scout 2 with disk brakes, rear axle is ford 9” 31 spline with spool, both are geared 3.73.Body exterior is painted flat black with a ton of custom pinstriping and paint work, looks like it has been tattooed!Paint is about 5 years old and has some issues (passenger rear door opened up at 60 mph, cracked a little but held up well!) but is still real good looking , especially if you like the rat rod look.Only reason its for sale is to fund a new project.Happy bidding!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $22,000.
Here’s a beautiful truck. Check the dual door setup. Very nice.
“One of a kind four door truck, multiple show winner, 351 windsor, automatic, 4 wheel disc brakes, mustang II front suspension, ford 9″ rear. Lost sight and cant drive anymore. Tom”
I ran across this thread today at alaska4x4network.com. The designer wanted to combine a couple trucks into a four door truck. He photoshopped the mockup together below. I think it would make a good looking project.
