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 .

(04/28/2013) The taillights are unusual. They might grow on me. I like how they fit.

The tub might be VEC.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Listed as a 1942 and a CJ-3A, the body and windshield appear to be M-38 or repro.
“CJ3A – Buick Oddfire v6 – 3 speed – dana 18 tcase – dana 27 front? – offset dana 41 or 44 rear axle – 35×12.50×15 pro comp mud terrians.

“Hard top and doors for Willys jeep. This is an aluminum top and doors made by Metro Engineering. It is a civilian version of the military “cab enclosure”. This model is an “arctic top”. The top is in good shape with all glass, but rear window is cracked. The front was modified to fit a different windshield frame, so 2 corners and the nose are missing. Some fabrication would be needed to install with whatever w/s frame you’re using.. The w/s frame pictured is included. Should fit any of the flatfenders maybe others. I am willing to deliver up to 10 miles away and maybe further with gas money. $150 O.B.O.
This includes an inline flathead 6.

This has a MB/GPW Body. The rear axles appear to be military, too.
“1948 Willy’s Jeep Project
4 Cyl overhead valve engine
Original 3-speed transmission
Over $1000 of wheels and tires”
It hasn’t run in 25 years, but there might be some value here.
“This is a complete 1953 Willy’s CJ3B. I bought it intending to restore it, but never got to it. It has all original differentials, transfer case transmission and engine. The differentials and transfer case are in good order. The engine ran 25 years ago when someone last drove the vehicle. The top of the transmission had been removed and the inside is very rusted. Likely the transmission needs replaced. The body is pretty good. The back part of the tub where the back seat sits is rusted. There is surface rust in other places. The vehicle is rough, but restorable, and almost all there.
Asking 1200.00 or best offer. Might consider a trade, but would prefer cash.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
The paint job suggests this might have been nice at some point; not so much now.

(07/29/2013) The sides panels have been replaced, so this likely had rust at one time. It looks solid from a distance.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
(12/20/2012) Calling this refurbished, rather than restored, is more accurate. I’m not sure what is hanging so low below the jeep.
“This is a very nice FRAME-OFF resoration. Everything redone!! Check out the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzNXQwca7nM From the wheel bearings to the brakes to the wiring and the engine!
This has the F-134 engine and I did NOT cut a hole in the hood. Tub is strong and solid, drives great, lots and lots of fun to drive and really is an attention getter no-matter where I go.
New Starter
New Alternator (12 volt)
New fuel pump (with glass bowl)
New wiring
New brakes and brake lines
Rebuilt engine
New clutch
New brake master cylinder
New lights
3 trailer hitches
CLEAR TITLE!!!!”
Well, I’d planned to do updates for Sunday, but an unexpected dinner of Thai food with Ann’s grandfather put me into a food coma, which led to some sound sleeping.
Today I expect to complete the last full edit review of the new book. Forty pages have been slashed, some logic improved, a little back history added, errors corrected, and explanations clarified. I expect to order a proof version monday morning and, if all is correct, announce it is ready for sale by mid-next week.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1850.
I’m digging those old school white three-spoke rims. Impossible to find.
“Two 1946 Willies Jeeps . Both are currently not running . I believe all components should be there . The red willies was stored in a barn for over 20 years . Both for $ 1,850 ”
John forwarded this great article about the Crosely Fire Jeep, whose restoration was revealed at the Crosley’s Annual Meeting. See all the pictures and info at Hemmings.
Here’s a reproduction of Joe Frazer with his Willys MA.
“I have here a nice reproduction 8 x 10 photograph. The picture shows 1940’s era co owner of the Willy’s Jeep Joe Frazer. The picture shows Joe at the smoke house getting a nice Ham and of course driving a Jeep”

Here’s an unusual ad that appeared in Radio-Craft magazine.
“This is an original 1944 black and white print ad for the Echophone EC-1 and Jeep.
Period Paper is excited to present a radio-rich collection of advertising and articles from the Radio Craft and Popular Electronics magazine. This collection is chalk full of World War II advertisements featuring radios, electronic tubes, Echophone communications and fantastically beautiful covers. The articles give an insight into Nikola TeslaÕs life and the Worldwide Station Lists that contain a list of usable radio channels.”
