About eWillys
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.
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 .
’59 Truck with a V6, if your in the market for a truck and were close by this might be worth a look at the set up, (not shown) for stuff like how the V6 was done. It’s a good power plant for a Willys. If you have never been in a Truck and are in the Market in general I always recommend anyone who has not sat in and driven a truck to do so prior to buying, they can be a tight fit, Willys were not large vehicles by any means. But Trucks are super fun to drive, nice to find that out a lot sooner that you will need a Wagon to be more comfortable.
Le choix d’un tracteur 1949 (Choosing a Tractor 1949)
This great resource was sent over to me from Harmen-Jan, I checked our catalog our here on eWillys and did not see it posted, also I jumped over to Farm Jeep to look for it over there and did not see it either.
Thank you Harmen-Jan for sending this over to me.
It’s in French and you can adjust your CC to be in almost any language you would like to read the subtitles in, in case you are not familiar with French, which I am not. I actually probably watched it several times prior to putting on the CC and the production is really great, the narrator and the b and c track audio are really well done.
Head over to 7:12 seconds to the start of the video, I was unable to get it to link to the correct time in the viewer, I recommend heading back to the start of the video to watch the whole thing, it’s neat to see the equipment in action.
Overall as you will see in the video it a demonstration day of sorts in 1949 and the title of the video Le choix d’un tracteur 1949 translates to Choosing a Tractor 1949.
I wont be able to be the product expert in and be able to list off each and every manufacturer like Monroe and the sort, I hope you get some enjoyment out of this resource.
Here is a good shot of the counterweight in the front.
I really like these smaller spot mirrors.
Lift Set Up
The multifunction mechanism appear to be very simple to operate but with that much mass off the back when I think about the process they are using its really neat how the got a lot of bang for the buck on these.
The hole digger is robust, the ingenuity to take that differential and transformer the equipment it pretty neat, once you start breaking it down into the smaller sub parts. Throughout the video you will see they really had these loaded up with optional PTO’s and controls for the up and down in, then the PTO all working together.
The trencher is interesting in that it scoops then the auger windrows the soil off to eachside.
This truck is pretty nice with some cool features, V8, Washer Bag set up, new retro radio with Aux but fits the vibe, the Jeep gas pedal is a really neat piece, V8 valve covers have some neat patina. There are a few ads from Rexburg area so can make a day trip and go see the sights.
Information from seller:
Vintage 1965 Jeep truck with a completely rebuilt V8 engine CALL OR TEXT MARVIN @[hidden information] for any inquiries. He will not respond to Messenger. He is not tech savvy.
I was sent this physical package of articles a few years back and had scanned them in and posted them on OWF. This was quite the adventure and I think its worth sharing over here on eWillys. (my luck Dave already has this posted somewhere) its a longer deal, will see how it formats and then work from there.
