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 .
Here’s a sweet truck.

In preparation for my parents 50th Anniversary weekend, We drove north from Pasco to Wenatchee, where we picked up my great aunt Evelyn for the drive to Seattle. We arrived in Wenatchee a little early, so we decided to do some jeep hunting before picking up Evelyn.
Okay, I might not have mentioned the ‘jeep hunting’ part of that to Ann. Instead, I think I probably suggested something more innocent, like “how about we tour downtown Wenatchee?” But, between you all, me and the computer, I was jeep hunting.
It didn’t take long to find our first jeep. And, wouldn’t you know it, it was downtown! How convenient for us 🙂 This CJ-5 is part of a Gas for Less retro gas station display (museum?) on the main street of Wenatchee. I tried to learn more about the station online, but all I found were photos. Here’s a nice shot of the station.
15 minutes later, after entering the city of East Wenatchee, we encountered a second jeep, which looked to be a CJ-3A.
After finding the CJ-3A, we picked up my great aunt and headed for Seattle. The drive through Blewett Pass was beautiful, as the leaves had turned a beautiful yellow (similar in color to the 3A above). While most of the drive to Seattle was filled with blue sky, about forty miles from my folks place fog enveloped us. We saw no more sun for the next two days.
Saturday started with a trip down to Bonney Lake so I could pick up my T-18 transmission (and bellhousing a few other parts). When I arrived, Daryl was showing Brian (you might know from Jeep Thing on Facebook) and Joe (who made their own trek from Kennewick) around his place. So, Ann pulled out her camera and captured the four of us.
On Saturday night, twenty five of us gathered for the 50th anniversary party. Here’s a rare photo of my sister, mother, father and I. We don’t have many family photos like this.
And, this is the cake my sister made. It told the story of my parents: their births, their meeting, their family, their careers/hobbies, and their grandchildren. Of course, no cake would have been complete without a jeep, even if it is made with fondant.
Sebastian writes, “Here are a few pics that my dad took last Saturday on a trip he did to “Puente Pelaez”. This is in Antioquia. As you can see it is a nice rural area where the Willys fits perfectly.”
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
“Git Along Littl’ Doggies!” A press photo showing two soldiers at Camp White, Or using a jeep to herd cattle. Too bad the cowboys did not think of that. Dated Apr 18, 1944. Typed description on back. 8 by 10. Good condition with no tears or losses. Buyer pays $3.50 first class shipping; international rates higher.”
Here’s a jeepish/m151ish bed spotted on thebooandtheboy.com website.

It is missing its windshield, but otherwise looks in fair condition. I believe this was a dealer promotion. Here’s a slightly different version.

Paul forwarded these pics and information about a military surplus yard that is liquidating. Looks like you’ll need an axe to get some of those trucks out of the woods.
He wrote, “The local military surplus yard (E A Patson Parts and Equipment) is closing after 60 years and everything is for sale. I spent the last three days digging thru various piles of parts searching for items I might need in the future for my Willys and I’ve had an incredible time. Their stock of Jeep parts consist of mainly running gear items but even those have been picked over pretty good. Their supply of body items were sold long ago. What’s left is stuff for Dodge M37’s, some M151 parts and parts for the larger military trucks. I was looking for a new burner can for my Southwind M978 gas heater and I had a selection of over 30 new cans to choose from. These cans were stacked in a pile outdoors between a tree and the damaged cab of a semi. The cans are stainless steel so the years of outdoor storage didn’t harm them in the least.
Lots of parts are stored in an unheated building in 55 gallon drums with the tops cut off and positioned upright. Many of these drums are full of parts (I have now idea what vehicle they’re for) and a second layer of full 55 gallon drums are stacked on top of the first layer of drums. There’s also a partial third layer of drums with parts on top of the second layer….. this place is incredible!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500
There can’t be too many Israeli jeeps in the US. I wonder if there’s paperwork as well?
“We have just acquired a very unique jeep for sale it’s a 1955 Willys M38A1 once owned by the Israeli army. This is an extremely rare vehicle to be imported back from Israel all the markings are correct to the time. It is my pleasure to offer it for sale for $9500 delivered anywhere in the US.”
This seller has two other flat ties for sale. Here and here.
