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 .
GMWillys and his lovely wife visited the Birmingham Alabama’s Southern Museum of Flight the other day and took some photos for us. He notes that the museum is fairly impressive, given the relatively small space. And, the jeep count is at three: an M-38, an M-38A1, and a CJ-V35. See the pics below.
The M-38A1 (hidden behind a plane):
Nice pictures and good information.
Thanks!
Interesting, that plaque with the CJv35 has a picture of one of my Jeeps on it. The lower left with the summer top. Is from a photo shoot done of my Jeep for JP magazine. That V35 is very interesting in the photo. Thanks for Sharing.
Actually the lower right picture is my Jeep as well. I feel honored LOL
I spoke with a volunteer there that was working on a B-25 vertical stabilizer for a new addition to their museum, and he stated that that they have 102 aircraft in their inventory. The B-25 was acquired from the defunct Chanute AFB museum in Ill. They are currently in the process of breaking ground on a new larger site for their museum, very close to the Barber Motor Sports complex, (which in itself is a very worth while museum to go to). When that happens, it would be an entire weekends worth of history to look through.
Mike,
I’m a little surprised that the museum would use the photo with out at least some attribution. It took me all of 5 seconds to find your image on the Four Wheeler article that mentions your name. This is something a museum staff member should have done, too. It is pretty neat that you have the ‘gold standard’ CJ-V35/U! I sure haven’t seen any pics of my jeeps in any museum (yet)!

Looks like just about everything on that plaque came from the internet. There is some of my stuff there too. Anyone know the serial number of this V-35?
Hey gmwillys,
Could I use your photo of the CJV35 on my website?
Thanks,
