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 .
This is awesome! Lots of interesting mods on this gas/service station vehicle.

Basic Jeep is an M38 and probably a very early one considering the data plates screw onto the dash and not to a plate with 4 camlock screws. Rims appear to be Kelsey deep-dish as used on 70 – 71 Renegades. Did anyone see the FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY on the edge of the right front fender? Definitely a government agency. Possible that county did the build on it also including the V8. I knew of a local fire department installed a V8 and automatic in a surplus M37. Interesting piece.
Let me correct myself. Data backing plate screws on with self tapping screws, not the 4 camlocks like holds the instrument cluster.
Colfax is located in beautiful Placer County which goes from the edge of Sacramento to Lake Tahoe. I used to camp at Fallen Leaf Lake. Have many customers in that county today.
Be interesting to know exactly how the county used that considering the county is over 300 sq miles and includes metropolitan and mountain foothills including goldrush country.
