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 up for auction.
Joe shared a link to multiple M-1161’s at auction in Georgia. Anyone have experience with these?
https://www.govplanet.com/jsp/s/search.ips?c=4626
It’s says 35 sold and 9 to sell.
Can anyone figure out how much they got for the first 35?
I would like to have one of these if price is right.
THIS IS NOT A ” JEEP ” — JEEP IS A REGISTERED TRADEMARK — EXCEPT FOR THE JEEPS THEY MADE AFTER 1971 — THOSE ARE NOT JEEPS EITHER — AMERICAN MOTORS MADE PLASTIC PIECES OF @#$%^& — THEN CHRYSLER BOUGHT JEEP ( CHINESE OWNED ) — OH WELL ,,,
35 vehicles have been sold to-date with the lowest selling price of $23,100, and the highest selling price of $47,700. Most were sold in the $20k to $30k range. Some vehicles are obviously NOS, one having only 4 miles on the odometer. All vehicles have low mileage and are 2009 – 2012 models.
The on-line auction is held on Wednesdays with only 5 vehicles sold each day. You can follow the action simply by logging in with your name & email address…. it’s free to register. You can then also track the sold prices for each vehicle after you register. The number of bids placed is averaging about 155 per vehicle. Bidding starts at $5000. On a positive note, prices seem to be coming down when compared to the start of auction proceedings. The total number of vehicles to be sold in unknown.
Thanks for those insights Joe!
JOE KNOWS ?
TOP THIS — I TOURED INSIDE A V-22 OSPREY AT A HELICOPTER SHOW — I THINK MY CJ-6 WOULD FIT IN THERE ? — I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE V-22 ENGINES WERE LEAKING SOME KIND OF FLUID — I ASKED THE MARINE CORP CAPTAIN WHO WAS FLYING IT ABOUT THE LEAKS — HE SAID IT WAS NORMAL — OK ? — 50 MILLION BUCKS AND LEAKY ENGINES ??
No….. Joe doesn’t know but just likes to follow changes in technology & development that started in WWII with Willys vehicles through the 151 series, then the civilian growlers and now these ITV’s. By the way, Govplanet.com has changed the auction dates to a variable schedule rather than “Wednesdays Only” as before. Visit their website to keep up-to-date…..

I wonder what the government paid for these. And why they thought they needed them since they obviously didn’t get used with such low mileage.
According to the Wikipedia website:
Unit cost $209,000 USD
Produced 2009–present
Joe does know.
Thanks Joe. Worth 30 grand each for sure. I was thinking I’d go about 10, would like to have one but can not afford 30 for another toy.
