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 .

Jon spotted this one. It is an MB that was part of a Canadian contract. I assume the “T-18 transmission” is a misprint?
“To many interests and not enough time or space, so it’s time to move on to a new home and an owner that would like to enjoy it as much as we have.
Own a piece of Canadian History
It is a Canadian MB which is rare. Only 5000 were produced under this Contract Number CDLV505 out of the 650,000 jeeps built during wartime production. Most of its parts are there with the exception the 6 volt electrics which were converted to 12 volt. It comes with known history.
Includes lots of literature, and spare parts such as,
T18 Transmission, Front and rear axle assemblies, 2 Gallons of the correct paint, manuals books and many small restoration parts from the Ron Fitzpatrick in Medford Oregon

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Not sure why it is listed as a 1954. It does have a military body, so maybe it is a ’44? Has a Bobcat fiberglass hood. It includes a top, not pictures. Appears to be missing a muffler. Has full floating rears. If this is still around after we return from Billings I’ll check it out.

I wonder if this is one of the M38CDNs assembled by Ford of Canada?

One of the racing jeeps getting ready on Friday.
Yesterday I made my way from the warm dry eastern Washington desert to the ‘wet’ side of the State. I was not surprised when I hit light rain as I approached the western slope of the Cascades.
At the top of 4500ft White Pass. Beyond the motorhome is the White Pass Ski Area. Let the rain commence!
However, by the time I arrived at the Ethel property where Overbored Racing & R.A.C.E are holding their Labor Day Weekend race, the rain abated, replaced with some sun. Hopefully the weather holds!
My camping spot for the next couple of nights.
I’m here at the invitation of Rob Stafford, who suggested I attend, baiting me with a couple of rides in a race jeep. That’s a hard thing for me to pass up. I haven’t raced since 1986- Memorial Day 1986, not that I’m counting or anything-and I still miss it. Thanks to my mother-in-law, whose motorhome I borrowed, I could attend. Sadly, Ann isn’t with me as she had a prior engagement in Spokane. Continue reading
SLAG is now available! I want to thank everyone that helped make this book possible, from its inception through the research and writing, to the proofing. Many people aided me along the way. While I always hoped I could create something like this, I was unsure it would ever happen.
This final version differs from the version I published in limited form two months ago. The title has been altered slightly to (hopefully) position it more accurately. And, I have divided the book into two parts, to better reflect the shift from Anton Eilers and the competitive environment of mining and smelting to Karl Eilers, his years with the smelting trust and his eventual showdown with the Guggenheims.
One reader of the book pointed out that it was a complex read, but then noted that if a person wants to understand some of the real history behind America’s Industrial Revolution, this is a must read. I hope many others feel that way as well.
UPDATE: Still Available.

“This is a very nice Willys wagon. It always attracts an audience wherever it goes. It was featured in Jeep Action magazine Nov/Dec 2014, and most recently, it was displayed indoors at the Ocean City convention center, during Jeep week. A lot of time and money was spent on it.
