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: Seller has decided not to sell for now.

Paul was kind enough to share this very rare Hadley Engineering VEEP brochure in the hopes that it helps the VEEP owners out there who struggle to find information about their vehicle. Below are photos of the basic brochure. I also have assembly instructions that I haven’t scanned yet. Great stuff! One unique item I hadn’t notice before was the stamped ‘VEEP’ in the hood. I’ve never seen that in any production VEEPs. If you ever run across a hood with VEEP stamped in it, I’d be interested to get some photos.
Built as a tribute to his father who participated in D-Day invasion of Utah Beach in Normandy, Ron Fagen opened the Fagen Fighters World War II Museum in September of 2012 at his hometown of Granite Falls, MN, Along with a collection of WWII airplanes, the collection also includes the GPW used by Omar Bradley during the Invasion. I’ve only found this one:
Here’s a neat overview of one diorama taken by Jody Phipps. The jeep isn’t shown.
This appears to be a variant of the Crosley Pup (see post from Jan 1). The size, the front end and the wheels look similar. The fenders are rounded. Possibly it is a prototype?

Not sure if perching a jeep on jerry cans was an approved mechanical strategy, but seems to work for these guys. I don’t remember ever seeing that done.

The seller labels this a 1945 Military Jeep M-38. It looks more like a non-military CJ-5. Someone went all out with the deer blind mods! Definitely one-of-a-kind!
“Today we have for sale a Military Willys M38 Jeep that was converted and used as a deer blind for hunting in south Texas.
The engine was removed after an attempt to restore the jeep but it has been left unattended for a long time. Situations in the family changed that won’t allow this to happen.

This looks great, though I’m a little surprised it wasn’t redone with the column shift. That got me thinking, was it possible to order an early CJ-2A with a floor shift?
“Very early production with matching numbers. This Jeep has undergone a complete ground-up restoration to original condition. It has the original 134cid 4 cylinder engine and T90 3-speed manual transmission with T-18 Spicer transfer case. Each and every piece on the classic Jeep has been dissembled, media blasted, rebuilt, reconditioned or replaced to achieve its as new condition. This Jeep has been finished in the correct Pasture Green color with Autumn Yellow wheels with Pasture Green pinstripe. This Jeep has less than 100 miles since restoration. Upgrades include stainless steel valves with hardened seats for unleaded fuel, carburetor (original included) and transfer case counter shaft upgrades.

“Very Nice and rare early production Cj2a. Has column shift transmission, and rare full rear PTO with drum pulley attachment. Jeep runs great, brakes will need some attention.

(01/09/2014) This jeep appears in the Miami Craigslist, but is actually located (as noted in the ad) in Honduras. Given the large speedometer, I suspect it is later than a ’53.

These are reproduction photos, but still pretty cool. It may be Omar Bradley in the rear of the jeep.

Anyone ever seen a grille guard quite like this one? It has kind of a Road Warrior feel to it in the first photo.
“As described in the title and shown in the scans below, this is a set of three original snapshot photos that were taken from 1948 to about 1950 of, what seems to be, the same Jeep (or similar) parked in the shade under the Collier Archway on the Tamiami Trail at the Collier County and Dade County lines in the Everglades National Park. We don’t know if the officer in the swamp prepared Willys Jeep with large police light on the front is a Park Ranger, Sheriff’s Deputy or Police Officer. He is parked on the Dade County side but they may just be because of the shade. One of the photos is marked “1948” on the back and the other two are not marked. However, one of the unmarked ones has the “Kodak Velox Paper” watermark on the back which would place at least to 1950 and the Jeep now has a radio in the front center of the roof which is not present in the other two photos. The approx. measurements range from 3.25″ x 3.5″ to 3.5″ x 5″. The photos are in bright clean condition though two have been clipped, there is photo paper curl, some scuffing and crinkle. Please view the edge to edge images below for further details on condition and image quality. The thin white vertical lines are artifacts of our scanner and not actually on the photos. If you are interested in original historic Everglades snapshots from the late 1940’s to the early 1950’s, please check our other listings as we have a few more to sell.”
