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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200
This might not be a bad price considering it has an overdrive. It doesn’t have a title though.
“1953 M170 Jeep, Buick 225 V-6, overdrive, rebuilt carb, new water pump, new gas tank, new electric fuel pump, new tie rod ends, new alternator, new points, plug, wires and rotor cap, new battery, new clutch fork and throwout bearing, includes tow bar. Runs great! No title. I would like to get this out of my garage this weekend”
Did they make an M-170 with the standard passenger door opening? Never saw one. Pretty cool rig either way. The no title thing is really a PITA to deal with.
Oh Jesus … how did I miss the opening. I think as soon as I saw the M-38A1-like grille, I switched to autopilot.
According to this website: http://www.m38a1.com/Models/models_m170.htm The production date is correct for a M-170, as they were first built in October of 1953. Maybe someone through a CJ-6 body onto the M-170? Strangely, the one above has a patch where the original M-170 gas tank inlet should be. Compare it to this picture: http://www.m38a1.com/images/History/h_M170.jpg
It has the correct reflector on the passenger-side rear corner. It also has reversed front springs, suggesting military.
This should have a battery box, too.
This one has me a bit perplexed.
