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 .
The front fenders and grille suggest this is a 52 or 53. I like this just the way it is.

http://nashville.craigslist.org/cto/5700423563.html

http://tricities.craigslist.org/grd/5701350426.html
UPDATE: Still Available.
Could make a good project. Engine is stuck.
“I’m selling a very restorable 1949 Willys Overland Jeepster. I bought it with the intention to do a full restoration but I’ve found something else that I want to restore. If you’re into original or Mod this is a good place to start. It’s probably 98% complete. The frame is solid with no issues. The floors and rockers need panels which are available. The drivetrain is complete and intact. Missing the air cleaner. The motor is stuck so the jeep is not currently running. These are the last of the American Phaeton and were only built for 3 years. 1949 is the lowest production year with only 2960 built. Restore it to original or put a small block v8 into it. They are nice looking cars when done. Asking $3900”
http://hartford.craigslist.org/cto/5739445115.html
Seller lists this project as a 1946, but these weren’t produced until 1948. Maybe some value here?

Ann and I marked our fifth anniversary yesterday. To celebrate, we drove to the small town of Dayton, Washington, for dinner. Today we plan to explore the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. I did not bring my computer with me, so I won’t be responding to emails for a couple days! Here’s our propose route.
I thought this auxiliary transmission comparison was interesting. A 1969 article promoted Warn’s Auxiliary Transmission, an overdrive that sat between the transmission and transferase. By early 1970 Husky was promoting a similar sized heavy-duty overdrive that sat between the engine and transmission.
More pics of the Warn Auxiliary Transmission. This one was sold in Nevada in 2013, priced at only $450 (also included tranny & tc).
This one was priced at $700 and sold out of Maryland:
Over the past couple of weeks falling eBay prices has allowed me to get some really neat content. So, the month of August should be a good one for new features.
Here’s the first one. I did not know that Warn produced a portable Warn winch. Anyone ever run across one of these? It appeared as part of a 1970 Warn Advertisement.
For M-151 folks this should be an interesting document.

“Buy one get one free. Two 1940’s Willys jeeps. The blue-ish one runs. Brakes are not great but it has been in use as a farm vehicle until recently. The grey one was street legal until it blew a head gasket about 10 years ago.”
