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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 four-page August 1956 issue includes a mention of the hydro-vac, noting that on vehicles with fresh-air vents that the unit should be mounted on the driver’s side fender.
UPDATE: Here’s a video that goes through a variety of the vehicles up for auction:
==============================
This Seffes Auctioneers estate auction is for the Ken Yuly Military Vehicle collection. There are quite a few different jeep vehicles. There are MBs, GPWs, M-151s, M-170s, M-38s, M-274s, CJ-2A, trailers, parts, military Dodges, and more.
Bill shared this rare Roof Palomino with the mower bed.

Here’s a very rare CJ-3A Valentine-Modified APU.

“It is with much sadness that I post this unique gal for sale.
What do I have: replacement title says ‘44 but I don’t think that’s right. I believe that she is a 1951 CJ-3A and NOT a WW2 Jeep. I believe it is one of 75 jeeps that the Valentine Weldong Company converted for use as a Navy APU. The hole in the dash along with a few holes where their badge would go and the hood bump leads me to this conclusion. I have no proof of this, just what the evidence seems to indicate.
Engine: She does have the F4-134 engine that was put into the Navy APUs along with a very well done hood bump to create the additional clearance. Runs great and clean if you drive her often. Did spit some smoke at startup recently after sitting for a couple months but cleared right up.
4-wheel drive: is operational, Continue reading
Here’s an odd jeep that appears to have a Bobcat fiberglass body as it’s base, though it’s been modified.

Looks in good shape. If the engine is a V8, you might want to check the frame for twisting. Those MB/GPW stock frames didn’t have the strongest metal.

“1959 jeep Willy’s wagon 4×4 hunter package. Has a 302 with 3 speed trans. Brand new 35 mud tires. Very little rust but that’s to be expected for as old as it is. Don’t want to sell but have other things that need my attention. Price is obo partial trades may be considered.”
Based on the year and the grille, this may have been a DJ-3A.

“Wicked Willy’s has a Cammed Small block Chevy engine. This thing is straight nasty torque and it will fly. As seen in one pic just put slicks on it and it will pack the wheels. It is also a beast on the street. If you wanna just cruise or go to shows you will get noticed every time. It is street legal and has a title. It is for sale or trade just message or call 60six70six008four.”
It’s unclear to me just how much value is here, but maybe someone can use this one.

Selling as parts/ project w/ title.
I would like to sell as a package, but may consider offers as parts. $ 3500.00 OBO.
