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 .
This might be useful for someone.

1) THE COMPRESSOR:
“You are bidding on an ORIGINAL WESTINGHOUSE T1 COMPRESSOR This compressor was an extremely rare accessory for FORD GPW or WILLYS MB Jeep and some 1 1/2 ton and 2 1/2 ton WW2 trucks.
These were used in the field for inflating and deflating tires to cross rough terrain including snow and sand. The compressor mounts to the vehicle engine and ran from an alternate fan belt A hose is then ran from under the hood to the tires. (see my other auction)
The Compressor appears to be in NOS condition and turns by hand creating compression.There is a little shelf wear here and there but it’s in good shape with no chips in the castings.”

Abe shared with me the following story: “While driving thru Vermont this past summer I ran across these jeeps sitting in some very tall grass. Asked for permission to take the pics on cell phone. Ergo lousy quality.”
Not only did Abe take pictures, but he got the owner’s business card, too. And, on the card, is a website: http://www.nejeeps.com So, thanks to Abe, maybe the folks in the Northeast have another resource for old jeeps and parts.
Here are Abe’s pics:
The CJ-2A below was built by a student from the local High School under Wayne’s supervision:
No pics provided.

There were a few different people looking for replacement seat covers like these.
“e are offering a restoration quality canvas front seat cushion set for your MB/GPW. This set includes the back and bottom for one seat along with the mounting hardware. This is a direct high density foam rubber replacement for the original spring and padding. These are produced by our canvas division and made from military specification canvas. The picture is an example of the seat only and the seat frame shown in the picture is not included.”
They aren’t perfect.
” I have 2 complete sets of Dualmatic 6 bolt 10 spline locking hubs, tall versions. These will fit all 10 spline willys jeeps cj’s mb gpw’s wagon trucks and jeepster’s.
The set on the left has damage to the housing and one star gear. It has torrington needle bearings and is complete
The set on the right works but has small hairline cracks in the housing around the star gear, this set is also complete no other damage besides cracks.
Both sets have flat tops with no warping or over tightening.
Great for parts or restoration.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s a PTO.
“What I have for sale is a rear PTO gear box off of a 1951 Willys CJ-3A. It was removed when we decided to restore the jeep and the owner did not want to put it back on. The gearbox worked fine and all the bearings are tight. As you can see by the pictures it does not include the flange that connects it to the driveshaft. The flange was froze onto the shaft and had to be cut off in order to remove the gearbox from the frame. When I cut the flange off I did manage to cut into the shaft slightly as you can see from one of the pictures. This will not hurt the function of the shaft.
The driveshaft and the transfer case adapter actuator are listed separately. Check my other auctions.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is pretty cool.
“Original US WWII Curtain Fastener Set, in its original OD steel box, with GI tools, and thousands of its 1940s solid brass, oxidized bronze-finished mil-spec fasteners still within. Multi-compartmented box measures 3″ x 16 1/4″ x 25”, with hinged lid fastened by two spring catches. Two steel wire carrying handles–one on each size–complete the container. The lid is silscreened in orange with photographs of each fastener included in the set, each captioned with its federal serial number. Also depicted are the included tools, only some of which remain. The nomenclature stamp for the entire rig reads: “Curtain Fastener Kit / No. 4835 / FSN-42-K-6000 / Manufactured by United Carr Fastener Corp., Cambridge, Mass., USA.” (Carr manufactured the vast majority of the incredible array of fasteners used on all US GI gear.) Box lid is also stenciled with: “42-K-6000” in one-inch black figures and letter. Amongst the contents which remain in this amazing box are: Lift-the-Dot, Large; Lift-the-Dot, Small; a variety of different male halves for both types of LtD; Baby Durable; Large Durable; grommet (in several sizes; and an array of hardware types I cannot identify. All fasteners are NOS, original to the box. I can only assume the “curtain” in the ensemble’s title refers to that portion of the MB/GPW’s fabric top–but there are certainly many fasteners included in this set which were intended for use on seats, straps, etc. There’s thirty pounds of hardware here, and our opening bid wouldn’t cover today’s cost of purchasing the equivalent number of cheap, modern, imported fasteners. This set was surplused out of the US Army’s Pueblo Ordnance Depot in Colorado in the 1970s–which might explain its scarcity (if these were only issued at the depot level, there just weren’t that many). In over forty years of collecting, I’ve never seen another like this extraordinary assemblage, and have only even heard of one other.”
UPDATE: These were listed on eBay in 2012.
Hublock hubs appear to have been made by Dana-Spicer.
“This is an original pair of vintage lock out hubs. These are made by HUB LOK. I am not sure if these were Sears, Spicer, Dana, ACME or whatever. They work just fine. They fit the Dana 25 front axles. These fit the MB, GPW, CJ2A, CJ3A, M38, M38A1, CJ3B, and early Cj5. They need a good cleaning.”
And another example from this page:
No pics, but I imagine these engines aren’t too common?
“Army mule engine. Four cylinder air cooled Willys apposed. Was used on the Vietnam era Army Mule that was used to haul a big recoiless gun into the countryside. The Mule was an all wheel drive vehicle one driver seat.
It has the clutch and pressure plate. Home made electric starter and hand cranked. The original vehicle has the starter on the transmission and that is missing.
Runs excellent.

These are nice to have.
“This is a new very correct and high quality pair of reproduction thumb screws. These are for mounting the windshield to the cowl brackets. THese have the correct long sholders so the main windshield frame can pivot freeley up and down. These are cast iron just like the originals. These were originally used on the MB and GPW WWII jeeps but will fit the CJ2A, CJ3A, Cj3B, and M38 as well. Excellent items for your jeep restoration. QTM”
