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 May 18, 1959, article from the Sydney Morning Herald announced the assembly of Jeep Ambulances in Australia.
No jeeps here, but Ann and I found this 1906 film shot on Market Street in San Francisco hypnotic. Cars, trolleys, pedestrians, and horse-pulled wagons all compete for space. Shortly after this video the entire area burned from the Earthquake.
UPDATE: The XM-384 seems to be both a Mutt variant prototype along with the trailer. Leo found these photos that include the Mutt variant with its trailer. He found the photos on G503.
Steve spotted this unique trailer. According to the seller, this is a one-of-a-kind trailer. It was manufactured by Detroit Arsenal and built from aluminum.
“This is the trailer built for experimental Vechicle XM384 1957 (Detroit Arsenal). Its one of one. No others where ever built.”

“It’s time to pass along one of my favorite trucks to a new owner. I worked on this vehicle with, and eventually purchased it from, the prior owner about a decade ago. The truck is in near show condition. Custom detail inside and out. The interior is amazing. Custom and stunning. This is a show stopper. The only major problem with it, is people want to stop & talk about her every time you park 🙂
It’s time to pass it along to someone who can take it around and show it off. It deserves to be out on the show circuit. Please email me to schedule an appointment to view the vehicle. Only interested parties apply.”
If this has been garage kept, the body might be pretty sound.

“1946 Willy’s jeep for sale I’ve had this jeep for over 20 years and I don’t do anything with it anymore I’d just rather see it get used runs and drives still has the original flat head in it. The motor and rear end were rebuild in 2003 probably haven’t driven it 150 miles on the farm since then. Body is dinged up has some rust but still drives. The fuel pump went out due to it sitting in the barn so I have a electric one on it at the moment. Do not know where the title is at the moment if i have to get one for you it will take the full asking price plus lost title fees.”

(10/17/2014) The body looks rough.
“1950 Jeep CJ-3A. The engine was removed a while back. We do have another L134 here that could go with this for extra $$. The rest of the drive train is still intact. This was brought in as a parts Jeep to go with the other 1950 CJ-3A we have listed, but we think someone might be interested in resurrecting this one as well. ”

This September 1957 article from Willys News highlights an 11 mile jeep race as part of the World Championship Burro races that year (Burro races are still held). The course was originally from Leadville to FairPlay over Mosquito Pass, but heavy snows shortened the course from Alma to FairPlay.
If I read the article correctly, Denver’s Mile High Jeep Club had 600 members in 1957? No wonder it was considered the largest jeep club in the world!
This map roughly highlights how far the race was. Cutting the race back to Alma shortened it considerably.
Bill shared this cool sign.

(11/23/2014) This hasn’t seen the road in a while.
“From an estate: 1966 CJ6 Jeep, Original V6 engine, Tow Bar, Winch, older repaint, excellent tires, Warn hubs. Owned by last owner for over 25 years, and has always been garaged since then. Was last driven about 10 years ago then parked.
It will be started and brakes repaired before selling. It has a cracked windshield. Body is not perfect, but I could see no rust upon inspection.
As many of you know, this is the rare “stretched” model of Jeep with 20″ added for Safari seating space. It was used for bouncing around the family ranch, but the kids grew up and moved away. Moms says sell the Jeep.”
There seems to be value here.

(12/20/2014) Seller believes this is 1 of 300 Marine M-38A1s. While the Marine M-38A1s from 1960-1967 were slightly different from the standard M-38A1, I could not verify how many were ordered. But, I would think it was greater than 300?
“One of only 300 Vietnam era Jeeps made and issued to the U.S. Marines. Complete restoration last year. Motor, transmission, rear end completely rebuilt, as was the suspension, wheel cylinders and brakes. It has a new battery, military tires and wheels, custom camouflage paint job. Converted to 12 volt electrical system, has turn signals, oil pressure, temperature, voltage gauges that are new but look like originals, electric fuel pump. Snorkel and water fording custom exhaust. Best part is a Browning 50 caliber machine gun that uses propane and oxygen to fire up to 7 rounds a second. Was used by a funeral home in Ohio to lead in military funerals and fire a salute. Has a new military issue canvas top and a new rear seat for passengers. This jeep could be hired to local funeral hours at 300-400 dollars per hour for military funerals. I recently retired and am divesting of my 4 military vehicles and other equipment to make money to travel.”
