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 .
There may be some value here.
“For Sale: Willy’s Jeep. No motor, to restore or for parts. Asking $600 OBO. Call 518-860-8650 and ask for Mike”
http://albany.craigslist.org/cto/3286933824.html
UPDATE: Was $12,500. **SOLD**
(08/24/2012) This looks well maintained.
“This is an original military Jeep from the Korean war years. Excellent condition, fun to drive! This is the real deal!
I’ve been putting the final touches on cleaning up this Jeep, which the pictures will demonstrate is in great condition.
I purchased the vehicle from a family in Waukesha, Wisconsin that used it for a family drives. Vehicle was owned by a collector in Minnesota prior to that, and by another in Wisconsin before him. Purchaser will get all information I have on the vehicle, but I’m only as far back as 1992.
The Jeep comes with the axe, shovel, radio and power supply, 1” manilla bumper rope, canvas, seat belts, and ORIGINAL 1952 M38A1 Operator’s Manual, as would have been with the vehicle in a military motor pool. Vehicle is still the original 24volt electric system.
I hope that someone else can enjoy this vehicle as much as I do. I highly recommend getting one (like this) that is already restored, because if you try to buy one of these 5-9k ones, you will end up putting a ton of money into it.”
I’m not sure what the “military pack” is.

(08/22/2011) This looks in good shape. I bet that it hasn’t ever been restored, as it has a nice patina about it.

This year’s Bantam Jeep Festival will be held in Butler, Pennsylvania. This works out well for Ann and I, because we’ll be out that way beginning in mid May and had planned to be in Buffalo June 8th. So, a trip to Butler should work perfect!

No, these aren’t real. They are mockups using a photoshop posted by David Mosley on Flickr. Still, they look intriguing.

“Too many toys and not enough time. Up for sale is my 1947 Willys Jeep with a 1975 Buick V6 engine. This Jeep has been in the family for over 50 years and has been stored in a garage or shop for much of its existance. The brakes and seals have been reconditioned recently. It has a new battery (converted to 12 Vots when V-6 engine was installed) and starts and runs well. It comes with an electric wench and a detachable tow bar.

Yesterday Ann and I put down the power tools to take a quick trip to the Hiram Chittenden Locks in Seattle. I needed to scope out Discovery Park and the Locks for the upcoming book. Here are a few pics from the Locks.
Ann spotted this crazy Lego contraption. When I was a kid, I was excited to make a rolling vehicle. My how building with Legos has changed!
