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 $18,000.
(12/06/2018) The jeep looks nice. Seller estimates that there are less than 100 M-170s in existence. Actually, I’ve documented and seen more than 200 and I suspect there are many more I haven’t seen.
“18k is estimated reasonable value. I have that in parts. rotisserie restoration completely stock. Less than 100 exist. Very few restored. This one has everything to make it complete. Rebuilt everything. Has arctic heater kit, full ambulance gear. Full top and doors. Deep water military fording kit It is what that cj6 was derived from. Military show winner. I want to trade for a true hot rod. 30s 40s or 50s. Two door. Something that has or can add ac to. Flathead is plus.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
Looks like a good price.
“1955 Jeep M170 Field Ambulance – the stretched version of the standard jeep. Wheelbase like a Scrambler. Runs and drives great. This is as clean as any M170 you will ever find – they are rare and you just don’t see any in this condition for anywhere near this price. About 25,000 miles. All parts are original. Fun to drive and a great show or parade vehicle. Have Texas title, is licensed for 5 years.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on ebay.
Andy’s got this M-170 for sale. It’s listed as Buy-it-Now or Make Offer.
“For your consideration a very RARE USMC version of the M170 ambulance jeep. This particular jeep was a radio version of the M170 and it has different details on the interior …the seats , also has a very heavy duty electrical system and comes with a Ramsey model 50 winch power take off unit.
Unfortunately the very rare model 50 winch is now missing only the actual PTO unit is left mounted to the rear of the transmission.
Overall the body condition is very nice for the year, has minimal rust through in hat channels.
Frame springs and axles are excellent, brakes were recently replaced as has been a lot of the wiring still 24 V engine runs excellent has a rebuilt carburetor missing some waterproof pieces of the majority are still there I do have extra parts available
Here is your chance to own an extremely rare USMC radio jeep…. it is produced in 1963 which is much later than normal production run for these vehicles one of the last ones produced was in 1964 overall a great collectors item . Comes equipped with unique marine corps items like the rear bumper for lifting shackles other things. Thanks and good luck …sold as is….. clear title sorry, no overseas shipping on this vehicle….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Lots of work to build 1 out of these 3.
A M170 is a M38A1 which has been stretched 20″ to carry 3 stretchers. Made from 1953-1963. Basically a Military version of a CJ6. Only 4000 something were produced and only a couple hundred known to survive. Includes a bunch of parts which some are NOS that are not mentioned. 1955 Willy’s M170 body, 1960 M170 body and rolling chassis and a 1961 M38A1 rolling parts chassis winch includes engine, trans and t-case. Decided to move on to another project that I can enjoy more. Asking $3500 and NO TRADES.”
Will need some body work.

“For sale, Is an amazing 1954 Jeep Willy M170 Frontline Ambulance army jeep, these were also used for radio communication as well. This model is basically a stretched and beefed up version of the more common M38A1 model. Many of the parts are the same and can still be found. Around 4500 of these models were made. Many of them did not return from the Korean Theater. The ambulance version can be seen on the hit series M.A.S.H. This particular unit was stationed in Albany, GA. I’ve had the vehicle since 2006.
-This Jeep has clean title and registration.
-Vehicle did run and drive. I put an electronic ignition. Still have the original Distributer (as well as several NOS parts). Aside from electronic ign electrical system still 24vdc.
– This Jeep has around 18000 miles. Some body damage.
– Tires are 31″ Goodyear MTR. They still hold air.
Has original F-head hurricane motor. Aprox. whopping 75hp. Motor was designed to run underwater. (I wouldn’t recommend) Original fuel tank is missing.
Motor is coupled to the venerable borg warner T90 three speed synchro transmission.
Power is split via a Dana 18 twin stick transfer case. (No PTO). To the dana 25/27 front axle. To the Dana 44 rear axle.
Axles are held in place by reverse shackle multi leaf springs.
Unfortunately, I don’t have time to fool with it. So, now your chance to own a hard to find Army Jeep,”
Has a Meyer hardtop. I believe the tailgate should not have the Willys logo on it.
