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 .
The February 1948 issue of Mechanic Illustrated included this blurb about a sedanized jeep.
Had the absolute privilege of being stationed by the Navy in Wahiawa, Hawaii almost 50 years ago where the base had a jeep assigned to the Special Services Division. The best part was that the jeep could be reserved on weekends by active duty personnel with the only stipulation that the vehicle was returned with a full tank of gas. This was also the duty vehicle of the Chief in-charge of Special Services so it better be back in front of the Admin. Bldg. by Sunday night.
The jeep was a stock Willys M38 painted bright red with white Navy markings complete with an OD canvas summer top. The jeep was maintained by a group of active-duty volunteers in the Special Services auto shop on base, was still in active inventory and had not yet been surplused at this point.
I always marveled that one could head North on the King Kamehameha Hwy. just outside the main gate, drive around the island perimeter and without ever turning off the highway end up back at the base. That jeep experience was loads of fun. My only regret was never getting of picture of the jeep back then. Maybe that’s why I purchased my own M38 soon after discharge from the service.
Great story Joe, fond memories of a time gone by, that now can be shared and enjoyed, Thank you.
