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 $6000.
Eric spotted this good-priced M-151.
“1971 Army AMC Jeep built for the Vietnam war, recommissioned for Desert Storm. Only 32,144 miles runs great, great condition inside and out. More info, pics, test drive etc available upon request.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
No title, but may be a good price.
“I have too many toys and need to give one up to a good home. It’s an AM General MUTT, M151 A2. It has been approved in the state of Washington to be street legal and road worthy. It sat for 25 years in a barn before I got it and the owner lost the original title. It now has been registered with the state and on the waiting period for pink slip, but vehicle can still be sold. It has the collector plate on it now and that too can be transferred over to the new buyer.
I had the tank cut, cleaned and gel coated. It was really bad. The tires are original and so is the hoses and tubing. It runs great, but being what it is, it’s not a daily driver. LOL I really believe it’s all original. The carburetor does need to be rebuilt, because it really is sluggish on the road. I did install two aftermarket batteries because the others were not original so I didn’t worry about it too much. It is a 24v system. Other than that, it’s available for you to take it home today. Yes you can drive it home, but until you get use to it, I would suggest you use a flat bed. I do drive it to the store every once in a while and get people talking to me a lot about it or I get a lot of thumbs up going down the road.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Jim spotted this good price on a pair of M-151s projects or parts jeeps.
“Pair of M151MUTTs one was produced by Willys which is a 63 model. The other was produced by Ford and was built in 66. Both are uncut. Neither run. The 66 has a title but the 63 does not. There are spare parts and a spare complete power pack which consists of radiator engine and transmission.“
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This is an interesting design.
“You are bidding on an original press photo from 2013 featuring The quarter ton Ford XM151 “Jeep” developed for the Army Ordinance by Ford Motor Co, undergoes tests at Aberdeen roving Grounds in 1954. A new four speed forward transmission and overhead valve engine provide increased performance. . Photo is 16.5 x 12.5 in size.”

Pascal forwarded this unique collection for sale on eBay. It includes, an MB,M38,M38A1,M170,M151A1,M422A1. Lots of pics.
“Description
Up for sale is a unique collection of the span of the military jeep generations. Our founder has been collecting these Jeeps for decades and has decided to sell his collection in its entirety.
Over the past decades, our founder collected the cream of what came by our doors, and stored them away in his personal collection. As we are also one of the biggest Jeep Parts distributors in the USA this was a relatively easy task, both to find these jewels and to refit them with whatever parts that were needed. Part can be found at Jeeps Surplus in Oroville, CA. The only vehicle in this collection not running is the “1960 AMC M422A1 MITY MITE”, which hasn’t had any engine work.
The purchase price for the entire jeep collection is $100,000.00. We will not be selling these jeeps individually.”

Roberto forwarded this link that appears to show the rebuilding of a wrecked M-151A2. My vietnamese is pretty weak (ok, non existent), so I have no idea what the thread’s text says.
Before the rebuild:
Rebuild completed:
The seller claims this is stock, but in my searches I couldn’t find any example of this. It looks kind of cool though.

UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD** Might have been used in the movie Prince Avalanche.
The seller just bought this, but now wants to sell it. No indication as to why. I’ve never seen one with a top like this (but I don’t’ follow them too closely).
“This is a great deal. I purchased this jeep 2 months ago for $6000, but now I need to get rid of it.
Runs really well.
THIS IS A VIETNAM ERA JEEP WITH AN AFTERMARKET BODY AND ALL M151A-2 RUNNING GEAR AND POWER PACK.

UPDATE: **SOLD** was on EBay.
This is listed as a Mighty Mite, which it isn’t, but at a starting bid of $150 this looks like a good parts M-151 for someone. This is part of an estate sale.
“You are looking at a Mighty Mite Jeep that is being sold as part of an estate sale. I wish I could give you a year but I simple do not know an refuse to mis-represent the products I sell, but it Produced in the 50’s for the U.S. Marine Corp, with less then 4000 ever made. This is a desert car so the body is very well preserved. The motor is still there but has not been started for many years and is missing the carb. It dose has the fold down wind shield but the glass is missing, You will also notice that the seats are not there either. There I a old, hand crank winch in the car that is also part of the sale. There is no title, but with an old car like this it should not be hard to get. This would be great for restoring or built out to an off road beast.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
It runs, but it looks like it has been stuck in the field for a while.
“All original. Comes with extra set of tires/wheels and transmission.Has tow bar. Frame for canvas top.24 volt system. Clear title. Runs. Located in London Texas. 18 miles North of Junction off I10. Serious inquiries only.”
This is a running M-151, though it is certainly dirty.
“I am selling my jeep because I have to many toys and some have to go. 68 m151a1 four cylinder four speed four wheel drive. Has not been registered in about 15 years. I started it last year and the motor sounded pretty good. I took the carb off to rebuild it and now I am tired of it. Definitely needs some love but its pretty much complete. Not desperate to sell so dont low ball me. I dont have any paperwork on it. If intrested call me, text email whatever. 2500obo 916-792-1962”

UPDATE: Was $11,500. **SOLD**
Bill pointed out that this is actually a M-151A2 Encore. These were built using the M-151A2 running gear for a couple years in the late 90s. You can read more about them at the G503.com site. Here are good pics of another Encore. Here’s the discussion of the body at the G838.org site. I tried to find more info on the history of Encore, but didn’t have success, though it went out of business around 1999.
Greg pointed out this unusual M-151. It’s not clear to me if this was built from scratch or rebuilt, but it sure looks like a pretty new vehicle. In that sense, it’s a rather rare vehicle. If this WAS built from new parts, then $25,000 isn’t all that high of price to have someone built a vehicle from scratch. Including the cost of labor, building a jeep from scratch with new parts would likely land in the $25000 realm. The ad includes lots of pics.
“You are looking at a titled re-creation of a MUTT M151/ army jeep. In 1999 this Jeep was built in Clearwater, Florida for a jeep enthusiast that had a home in Utah as well. It was shipped to Utah in 2002 and used for local driving and recreational use. This vehicle has also won a few trophies in local car shows. In 2009 the Jeep was shipped back to his home in Palm Beach, Florida where it sat in storage. This vehicle is like new with only 400 actual miles. Everything is in working order and it runs like a 400 mile Jeep should. This vehicle cost over $25,000.00 to have built. There loss is your gain. I am only asking $11,900.00. I am open to all reasonable offers.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3750.
(12/4/09) This looks in decent shape.
“
This is a great deer lease jeep! The M-151 is the military jeep that replaced the Willys jeep for a utility vehicle. It is a shift on the fly 4-wheel drive with full independent suspension. Has the original canvas top. $3750 obo”
