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.
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 .
This isn't for sale, but I thought it was too interesting to pass up. I've never seen one of these before and I know little about them. Here's the original pic location.
Here's one more. Here's the location of the pic.
You’d be hard pressed to actually find something like this if it still even exists. Most vehicles like this were done overseas with only a handful of prototypes built here. There was a run of M-678/M-679’s done for the military but records are horrible from that time and figure that about 60 total were built. There are a few survivors.

There are a few other oddball one off vans there too….The only factory run was the 60 or so M-678/679 and even those were probably hand built for the most part. All the military rigs came with a 2 stroke, 3 cylinder, cerlist diesel. I would love to find an old van but it’s very unlikely.
Great links .. a 2 stroke, 3 cylinder for a van? What kind of hp would that generate?
Military vehicles used a three-cylinder, two-cycle, loop-scavenged 170 cid Cerlist Diesel producing just 85 hp (at 3,000 rpm) with 170 lb-ft of torque at a low 1,900 rpm — less power and torque than the gas engine, but presumably with superior gas mileage and durability; and, without intake or exhaust valves, camshaft, or timing chain, fewer adjustments and presumably higher freedom from breakdown.
