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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350.
Runs, but needs work.
“cJ3a jeep motor converted into air compressor runs on 1&4 pumps air on 2&4. Does start but needs plugs and wires maybe carb cleaned? Comes with trailer and hose reel.”
Interesting unit, I wonder why Willys classified their industrial engine as CJ3A
seems cheap too
Does anyone know how much pressure one of these will create? If you only get ~100psi from the compression stroke that doesn’t seem to make for a great compressor. Probably something I’m not understanding…
Dan,
That’s a good question. Someone else asked about these in 2012. Many of those links have expired, so I’ll make sure to update that post.
In the meantime, there’s a brochure at the bottom of the post about these:

btw … this is also known as the Hesse Hornet Air Compressor.
It would appear the listing has been deleted !
Thanks Marc.
