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 .
Tom’s been working on the restoration of this CJ-3A APU. He’s wondering if anyone knows anything about the three-wheeled APUs that were auctioned in California about five years ago. He’s hoping to find some of the hard-to-find APU equipment.
Here are a few photos of the APUs sold a few years ago:
Here’s how he started, with a jeep he didn’t know was an APU. Since then he’s been learning more about them.
Here’s the updates so far:
I saw those 3 wheeled jeeps being used on aircraft carriers in 1950’s war movies.
I have the correct Holly carb for your F head engine that allows you to
close the hood without cutting a hole in it.
I also have the correct distributor that drives a mechanical tach.
Nick,
Does it have the f-head triangular hood bump? I would be interested in some pics of that jeep for historical purposes. Not many of them left, so I’m trying to preserve them as best we can.

You might give a try at the US Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola FL. They have a reference library that may be of help.

Thanks for the info I want to stay with this carberator because that is what appears to be correct for this jeep and its purpose.The distriburtor is tempting just to have tachometer work.In the correct state the tachometer was driven off th bottom of the gernerstor drive unit that drove the generator for airplane mantenance.
What do you want for your distributor?
Nick,
Dave sent me the pictures that you shared with him.I am notwanting to by the jeep but I would like to talk to owner to share info can you give me his contact please?
Dave

I have been to Pensacola with out much help.Another person shared with me some info that they have on a generator that may have been used but they could not put there hands on that when I was there.
Thanks to all for your comments
Tom
