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 .
Blaine forwarded this picture of this jeep from the Arizona Wing of the Commemorative Air Force at Falcon Field in Mesa, Az. Since Ann and I will be staying in Mesa and will be down there a couple days before this year’s FC Roundup, we plan to visit the museum.
Unfortunately, upon closer inspection, this is a mix of CJ-3A and M-38 parts. Once again, the reason for a jeep museum. Hopefully, the airplanes are more accurate. Looks like I need to schedule a meeting with the curator.
Wow! I love the look of this CJ3A transformed to a M38!!! Really nice! But just take attention: the little girl at the background with the airplane…cute!!!! What a fantastic shot!!!! Thanks, Blaine!
It is definitely not a M38. Three telltale signs that usually survive Bubba’s torch are the gussets on the frame horns by the bumper, the non-hinged grill mounts, and the square shock mounts. Closer inspection of the bumper area and the shock mounts makes it a 2A or very early 3A. Notice the older style frame with gussets for connecting the bumper, most 3As had the heavier frame and the bumper was bolted/riveted directly to the frame. About the only thing M38 on it is the bolted shut windshield vent and the headlight brush guards!!!!
Nice looking jeep though…..for the unwashed masses, not us jeep-aristocrats (notice the self deprecating humor)
Steve (who just realized he may knows just a bit too much about 65 year old jeep frames)
Another guy, called Tim or athawk11, have done the very same project at the CJ3A website:

Just amazing! Another CJ/M38!!!
A close examination of that Jeep will reveal that the body is from a CJ-V35/U, the frame from a CJ-2A and the engine from a GPW.
Thanks Bob . . . And the windshield from a M-38. I’m going to drop by and check it out this coming Monday.
Thanks a lot for the info, Bob! Really interesting!
