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 .
Is that a folding chair in the passenger seat?

This is a project. It looks like the frame and running gear are post 1972 CJ-5.
“Project vehicle. Does not run. I’ll never get to this project. Was thinking I would find a running cj5 and swap this body onto it since the current frame has been cut/welded, etc. The body has been cut and welded a fair amount too on the floor pans/firewall/etc. Nice top and very little surface rust!
CJ5 frame, axles, Dauntless v6 engine with Willys CJ2A or CJ3A body.
Reply by e-mail if interested. I check e-mail in the evenings.
Would consider trading for a complete running LS1 or LS2 or possibly a rebuilt Inline 250/292”

After repairing a few more sonny-do-items around my parents’ house, I got a chance to pull the engine, transmission, and transfercase. As usual, a variety of expletives bounced off the less-than hallowed walls of the garage.
During the removal process I discovered that power steering box moves some when turning to the right. I *thought* it was a good idea to use the stock ’73 CJ-5 mounting unit to mount the steering, since I would have thought Jeep’s engineers would have been able to get that right, but it seems my place was misplaced. So, part of the rebuild process will be improving the mounting bracket.
On a side note, my father was busily managing the process from the kitchen. Everytime I went in the house he’d ask, “Is your transmission an automatic.”
“Yes, I’d say, but I’m changing to a T-18.”
“You know,” he’d say, “the manual is shorter than the automatic.”
“Yes, I’d say.”
“Ok, well good. You just need to be aware of that.”
By the time we had our third conversation about it, I was WELL aware! 🙂
Here are a few pics:
The cobwebs and dust on the hook suggest the garage’s engine pulley hasn’t been used in decades.
The engine is about to be freed.
The jeep sits just high enough to allow me to pull the tranny and tc out from under it. I’d like to say it was stellar planning, but it was really dumb luck.
There she sits, looking like she’s bleeding a bit. She and I had some good times, but our divorce will soon be finalized. Time for some thing different.
Marc forwarded some search results form a Canadian Archives website that included this neat photo of Major General F. F. Worthington standing in a jeep with a very unusual top.

After I fixed my parents’ mailbox, repaired two broken outlets, and rewired some lights in the garage, I was finally able to start dismantling Biscuit for the tranny (and possibly engine) swap. Once I undo a few more bolts, the engine should slide right out. I have a few more things to do before the tranny is ready to come out. But, that will be delayed a day or two as I begin work on several more house-related sonny-do projects.
One thing I learned as I drained the water from the radiator . . . it was much browner than I expected. There’s definitely some oil mixed with it.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This looks pretty stock and includes a rear PTO.
“I have a 1948 willy jeep for sale runs good tags good till this month Got it in a trade just want to get my money back or trade for a Chevy truck 60 thru 66 as long as it runs”

This early M-38A1 is worth a look.
“If you look at it and the plate inside this use to be a Willy’s Jeep…a 1953 M38A1. At some point in time it was given a title as a 1965 CJ6A Jeep. A previous owner put in a 12 volt wiring harness but the switch and pedal are still in there to make it 24 again. It is being sold as is, needs work”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
It appears solid.

“For your consideration are two 1942 Ford Army Jeeps and a trailer. One has a production date of Feb 26, 1942 and the second has a production date of March 26, 1942. The Feb production Jeep has a serial number of GPW 557 which according to “All-American Wonder” The Military Jeep 1941-1945, this is the second lowest production number known, only surpassed by number 500 produced Feb. 13,1942. The second jeep produced in March has a serial number of GPW 9945, so as you can see, these are very early production Army Jeeps. Both are Script Jeeps which have the Ford lettering on the rear panel. Candidly, the March Jeep which is complete, is not as nice as the Feb. Jeep which would be worthy of a restoration. The Feb Jeep is totally disassembled. The engine for the Feb Jeep has been rebuilt, and the transmission/transfer case are good. The front and rear axels are also good. These are project Jeeps. There are more parts than are pictured. The trailer has a production date of December 1942. There is a set of 5 combat rims for the Jeep. The trailer has combat rims on it. There will be a lot of work to make a great restored Jeep, but all parts are available from advertisers in the publication “Supply Line” a publication of the Military Preservation Association which is a great organization for Military vehicles and would be worth joining. I have titles for both jeeps.”

“Two 1948 Willy’s Jeeps. One is a CJ2 the other is the military jeep. The CJ is more complete than the military one. Between the two should be able to make one work.
