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 .
These aren’t the greatest brochure examples, but I’ve never run across brochures for A. J. Parsons equipment. Also included are a couple go-for-digger plow documents. The price is crazy.

“1949 Willy’s Jeep CJ-3A. This Jeep was a frame off restoration. It has a brand new Certified Willy’s body. Below is everything that’s been done and what needs to be finished. I have every receipt and at the moment there is $11,273.00 in parts, and that does not include any labor. The Jeep is pretty much finished, it just needs exterior paint. The exterior is just in black primer, the way it came to me. The interior is completed as you will see in the pictures. Anything that bolts on that’s is not in the pictures I have in the box. Everything is period correct to the year.

“Rare 1944 Ford GPW WWII Willy’s jeep up for sale! This amazing military vehicle can either be restored or used for parts. As it sits, it is mid-restoration and a lot is taken a part so there are a good amount of parts that will be included with this Ford (see photos). These original (not replica/remakes) GPW’s are hard to come by!
ALSO COMES WITH ORIGINAL DATA PLATES!
(Please note that the front wheels are sitting on there for picture, they are not actually crooked).
This would be a fun project for you to do. This does have some rust (see photos) but the frame is solid. There are a lot of original parts that will come with this bundle (see photos) but the motor, steering wheel, and the front axle are not original. *Please note that we are not experts in collector military vehicles, so there may be other parts that are not original.”

“This 1952 M-38 Jeep Willys is in very good condition. I use it locally on Cape. It has a tow bar to pull behind another vehicle and a basket to fit into the trailer hitch for carrying coolers, etc. I also have other miscellaneous parts and supplies that will be included.
This Jeep was used inside a factory in NC for many years. My Dad purchased it and my brother fixed it up and took very good care of it. I now have it garaged on Cape and occasionally drive it to the golf course. It runs and drives well.
I ask that potential buyers provide me with a phone number so I can call to discuss.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $28,900.
James spotted this oddity.
“Worldwide Vintage Autos is pleased to present this 1990 UMM Alter II. Very rare extreme / off road civilian 4×4. Estimated 1 of 3 in USA. Similar to the Land Rover Defender, Mercedes Unimog, AM General Hummer, Toyota Land Cruiser, etc. VIN 11G1L00032304
HISTORY
UMMis a Portuguese metal works factory and ex-automobile manufacturer based in Lisbon, Portugal. It was founded in 1977 with the purpose of manufacturing four-wheel drive vehicles for agricultural, industrial and utility applications. The UMM 4×4 design is derived from a prototype created by the French engineering firm called SIMI. SIMI had produced the Cournil, a rugged two seater boxy looking Landrover type of vehicle made with Hotchkiss-JEEP parts with Ferguson Diesel tractor allwheel driven mechanicals itself was originally designed and built by mechanical engineer Bernard Cournil. A civilian model was called the SIMI Entrepreneur 4X4. The Cournil Entrepreneur’s building rights were acquired in the 1970s by the Portuguese company União Metalo-Mecânica, part of the Mocar group and were renamed as UMM.
They became known for their durability, especially when in the Paris-Dakar rally the team was able to finish with all the cars that started. Many UMMs are still in use by utilities in Spain, Portugal, Cape Verde (in use by the national army) and France and also by the “Guarda Nacional Republicana” (Portuguese Gendarmerie), fire service and military, although the majority of their customers were private individuals.”
