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 .

It needs a bumper, but otherwise looks pretty good.

While driving to Vancouver on Monday, Ann and I decided to visit the five year old Western Antique Aeroplane and Automobile Museum (WAAAM). So, about noon we pulled off I-84 and drove into downtown Hood River expecting to locate the museum quickly. However, it turns out the museum is located a few miles away from town near the airport. As soon as we realized we didn’t know where we were going, we cranked up the GPS and that guided us up the hill and over a dale or two. We even passed a FC-170 off to our right. Finally, we arrived at Air Museum Road.
Since it was Monday at noon, there wasn’t a flood of visitors, which worked out great for us because the staff could take the time to explain and answer all of our questions. In fact, everyone was noticeably friendly and knowledgeable.
The first thing we learned is that WAAAM has one of the largest collection of working antique planes and vehicles in the country. All the different planes, tractors, jeeps, automobiles, trucks, motorcycles are housed in two giant hangars with multiple exits. In fact, some of the planes and vehicles are privately owned, but stored free of charge at the museum. Owners can come in most any time and take their property out to fly or drive them.
Every month the museum holds a “Second Saturday” event. That’s when volunteers arrive to give rides and show off the vehicles. In May of 2012, a special Military Day will be held on the Second Saturday. That date is May 12th and I’ve been invited to talk a little about jeeps and sign books (and maybe ride in a jeep or two???). It should be fun!
Here’s an introduction to the museum:

While I had fun looking at all the cars and planes, it was the jeeps I was there to see. We saw the following jeeps:
1941 MB Slat Grille
Undated MB

(08/19/2009) This looks very stock and in good shape.
“Up for sale is a 1950 Willys jeep that is stock and in good condition. This vehicle is all legal, runs/drives well and has low mileage for it’s age.”
UPDATE: This was first listed in 2009. It was originally listed for $13,000 or make offer. Now it is just ‘make offer’. The first listing only had one pic. The new listing has more pics and makes it appear that the jeep has been well taken care of (with the exception of those yellow lights on the grille — oh the inhumanity!).
“1952 Willys Jeep restored and running. At the moment it needs a master cylinder to be replaced. Not being used anymore due to death in the family. I have a plow for it also. Make an offer. 763-755-4384”

This appears solid.
“This Jeep is awesome. I bought it from a military man who had the engine rebuilt and took great car of it, he used it in parades. It was titled in GA as a 1947 and when I bought it the SC title was left as a 1947. His son, who I bought it from said it was a ’52 and was used in the Korean War and from all indications this seems to be accurate, as this is not a Civilian Jeep. The actual mileage is unknown, but not many miles have driven since the engine rebuild. Shifts and drives great. I mean really great. It’s like a dream to be in it.
I had just had the entire brake system replaced, down to the hoses to make sure the next owner can feel confident in their safety. It was also had a tune up, new battery and runs awesome. Just got it back and put about $1,600 into it, so please bid with confidence
This Jeep owns the road, you can drive it and smile, as it feels amazing. Be prepared for ton of compliments, and has no problem keeping up with traffic and tops out at about 50mph.
Needs windshield and wipers, but did not get them because I keep the windshield down. Fuel and temp gauge do not work. It also could use a small piece of sheet metal on the bottom side of passenger’s seat under the tool box area.
So sad I have to sell this, and really hope it finds someone that really appreciates it. This jeep is ready to be enjoyed! So stop by and we can take it for a spin, and feel free to ask me any questions.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
“This vehicle is a rare find. Its a 1950s Willy’s M38 in the United States Air Force “flight line” paint job. This Willys would have been used during the Korean Conflict. This vehicle came direct out of a museum in Minnesota (Commerative Air Force) and we are selling this vehicle because we are a non-profit and have to let it go in order to fund our upcoming fiscal year. The vehicle runs great and has NO RUST! It has a new battery (and the conversion was made prior to us securing this vehicle a year ago). If you would like more information please contact me.”
SOLD. Was available for $5500.
