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 .

(10/24/2012) Well, the glass and windshield (m-38) looks good. I’m not sure if there is much more value.

From the 1950s until 1968 visitors to the Black Hills of South Dakota could purchase tickets for a ride in a jeep to Harney Peak. The ride would take visitors up to the CCC built lookout at the top of the peak, the tallest point in the United States east of the Rockies (visitors could also hike or ascend via horseback). You can view various pictures of and from the lookout here. Erosion due to the jeep trail ended the trips by jeep. The area around the peak was also turned into a wilderness area (and one could argue given the road how that might happen, but that’s another a debate for another time), so no vehicles are allowed anymore.
Black Hills National Forest: Harney Peak and the Historic Fire … – Page 51
This picture was taken at Sylvan Lake. They employed both flatties and CJ-5s. Custer State Park – Page 104
Gerald sent these digital versions of this postcard to me a couple years ago. You can also buy it here.
This is part of a collection of photos, but none of the other photos have jeeps.
“HERE ARE 11 4″X6″ PHOTOS FROM WW2 SHOWING,’THE BRASS”, MACHINE GUNS, MORTAR CEWS, JEEPS,MESS HALL AND MORE. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS, SOME OF THE EDGES HAVE DETERIATED. THESE ARE NICE PHOTOS THOUGH.”

Here’s an interesting article published in the May 1953 issue of Popular Mechanics. I don’t remember running across one of these. Interesting that they chose to use a VEC CJ-2A rather than a later model jeep. This issue also includes an introduction and comparison between the M-38A1 and the Mighty Mite.
Popular Mechanics – May 1953 – Page 65
There is an issue for sale on eBay as well form only $5.25
I spotted the 2nd combo first, but then saw the really cool “Outdoor Package”! Nice.
1. “This is a very nice 1963 Tonka Outdoor Living Set in its original box. The set consists of a Jeep Surrey, Pick-up Truck with removable camper, Jeep Runabout, and Boat with Trailer. The set has 3 pieces of luggage that go in the jeep, and the motor that attaches onto the back of the boat. As you can see in the photos, the toys are in nice shape. The original box is tattered and dirty. You rarely see the original box.”

2. “Vintage Tonka Jeep and Boat with Luggage and Spare Tire! Fun combination of Jeep, trailer and boat in good “played with” condition! Boat is missing the antenna, outboard motor and top. Jeep is missing the steering wheel, (easily replaced). Only minor scratches as visible in photos.”

Anyone know anything about these?
“These signs are hand made. Each sign is made one at a time on recycled or scrap metal so that, no two signs are exactly the same.
The metal may be scratched, dented, bent or intentionally distressed to make the sign look old. They are made on 24 gauge steel and then the enamel paint is baked, and clear coated. 17 X10.”

“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A….$2500
(2) 1946 Willys Jeeps CJ2A…..$1500/each
According to the seller, he has “title for 1948, Bill of Sale for the (2) 1946’s. The 48 will run, it has not in two years and then for a short period of time on lawn mower can of gas. The 46’s were bought for parts. I have no idea their capability of running. Both are intact only missing a part here and there. I would represent all of the Willys as needing a full restoration, that way an individual can expect the worse and hope for the best. Also, if you are interested after viewing the photos; make me an offer to consider.”
UPDATE: Back on eBay. Buy-it-Now price is only $3500.

This looks nice, but needs a little more work.
“This is a 1947 CJ2A. I restored this jeep 2 years ago. I have not tagged it or driven it. It has been sitting in covered storage since I finished it. I took it down to the frame, sandblasted the frame, coated it with POR-15. All new seals were placed in the axles, and all new gaskets. New gas tank. The body was bead blasted and bodywork was done using metal where needed with thin film bondo used in places that were necessary for smoothing. I have pictures as well of the restoration process that details what I did. The engine was rebuilt, new bearings, rings, and seals. I had the transmission professional rebuilt. I had change out the rear diff with the same unit from another jeep of the same year, only because at the time I wanted the experience. At this time, I have driven a couple of times around the block, and there is whine on coasting coming from the rear end that perhaps needs to be re-shimmed.
Shouldn’t be too much of a job really. Original style wiring harness used. I really tried to make it as original as possible, save for the 12 volt system and adding another taillight in case someone would like to add turn signals later. The front end needs to be aligned, simple procedure, but I just never got around to it. Brakes work well, all new. It really is a nice jeep, I did all the hard work, now someone could refine it. I am selling it for much lower than what I have in it. Just need to get rid of some toys. I have a title to this Jeep, its a Texas title. Also, please call 918-361-9101 for any questions. Again, please note that I stated that I feel this Jeep needs to be FINISHED OUT. Basically needs the bugs worked out and such, and add anything that you would like. It does not have turn signals, and I have only driven it around some after restoring it. I feel that I am selling it at a very fair price considering what you will be getting. To restore a jeep like this would cost a lot more than what my starting bid is. I am not out to make any money, just sell the Jeep to a good home and give someone that appreciates these as a hobby to refine what I have nearly finished.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was listed at $1100.
(12/04/2012) This looks like a fair price. It runs.

I just like the name of the town. According to Wikipedia, the town was “named for a settlement of mechanics who made and repaired Conestoga wagons in the early 19th century, Mechanicsburg’s continued growth was also attributed to the Cumberland Valley Railroad (CVRR).”
“1951 WILLYS (not Ford) M-38 Military Jeep, 5000 miles, perfect factory condition, never restored. New tires and batteries (2), misc. extras. $19,000.00 CASH or local confirmed check. If interested, see pictures below and call 717-697-9637 for any additional information.”

“runs drives and stops. new top, battery, tires… needs minor work but very driveable….possible trades for extended cab work truck. Must have sticker. Please no garbage and scammers can save the b.s.”
Not perfect, but looks solid.
“I have for sale a 1956 CJ5 jeep willys, it has been painted and partially restored by an individual. Has been converted from 6 volt system to 12 volt, has newer bikini top.
