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 .

interesting jeep.( M-38 dash components gauge cluster and glove box), looks like hanging pedals, no drain holes, Wagoneer hub caps( i think). lot of work to make a nice jeep to keep underground.
Looks to be a repop tub
Curious as to the model – as mentioned and M38 dash, but no other M38 attributes, what looks to be a CJ2B frame, maybe (light shows through holes in the horns), no tool indents and also no drains. hanging pedals, maybe from a much later Kaiser or AMC or they may have been custom with the foot pads welded higher, but still the shafts aren’t visible at the angle shown. A CJ2B windshield, minus wipers. The added touch of later vintage wagoneer hubcaps meaning likely 15″ tires. I wonder if these jeeps were LP gas.
Hi Bill,
The windshield is a CJ3a. The body is a Preproduction. That is why it looks similar to a M38 body.
Thanks,
Dave
Saw this one in person today. Very nicely painted up and dolled up jeep, wish I could have seen under the hood.Definitely not restored with accuracy and stockness in mind, more like restored to be as pretty as possible. (Not that there is anything wrong with that if that is your aim).. More chrome than a Surrey. I have some current pics if you want them, Dave. Not a lot different than what you have. I was told by staff that it was a 47 with parts from various years, and it was the original jeep to enter the cave way back when. It had spent some time at a museum somewhere after a restoration and they recently brought it back to the visitor center. Today, 11/9/12, it is displayed behind some split rail fence and has a Christmas tree in the back. I’m sure it is enjoying its golden years.
Bill,
eMail me the pics (d@ewillys.com). I’d like to see them.
Thanks,
– Dave
