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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Marc spotted this reprinted photo on eBay. I tracked Specker Motors to Marquette, MI. You can see more pics here.
It looks like the rear hubs would support dual rims.

Dan spotted this nice wagon.
“Selling my 1949 Willys Station Wagon to make room in my garage. This is the two wheel drive version. Very original older restoration including original 134 cubic in flathead 4 cylinder with three speed overdrive transmission. Still original 6 volt electrical and wears correct 1949 California license plates. Has correct and very rare radio.
Restoration included new brakes, complete motor rebuild by Rod Furtado, new paint, new interior including seats and original basket weave headliner, all new window weatherstripping. It’s just been sitting in my garage so needs some TLC but this car is a great cruiser that makes people smile.

UPDATE: Was listed at $10,700. **SOLD**
(05/30/2013) This looks in good shape.
“Older restoration. Body was taken down to bare metal, primed and repainted in 2012. There is absolutely NO rust-through anywhere. Hat channels, floor pans, etc are all solid. Winter top with side curtains and doors. M31 machine gun mount, rifle mount, axe, shovel, gerry can, spare, radio antennae and mount. Winch w/PTO. All proper straps and military items. Converted to 12 volt. Tires are weather checked but serviceable. Good oil pressure, clutch and brakes. Also a few manuals and spare parts included.
NEW:
4 shocks, waterpump, fuel tank, body mounts, fender and body welting, lock-out hubs, shackles and rebuilt rear springs and vacuum wiper motors. Also included is a custom all weather cover made of Military grade rip stop from Beachwood Canvas.”
The transfercase shifters are oddly bent.
“This jeep can be a restoration project or just a daily fun driver. The jeep is mechanically sound, but does have the old vehicle issues. I have some extras, like the manual and some origanal type tail lights. The motor is a flat head four and runs great. There has been a Saginaw front end conversion, but it is still drum brakes and no power steering. It does have lockouts, in four wheel low, this thing will climb a wall. This is a very fun and unique vehicle, because of that I am open to offers.”

There is some value here.
“I think it is a 1956. For parts only. No title.Some rust in floors but easy fix.pictures tell the story. Comes with Omix rear quarter panel and front quarter panel for passenger side. Easy fix.Drive train complete. Does not run. Trans appears to shift in and out of gears. Engine appears locked up but seems to be all there. Somewhere along the line someone has loosened various components on the engine but they appear to be all there. That is what I know. I bought it to fix up but found a runner so I am on to the next one. Happy to answer any more ??? Shipping to be paid by buyer no matter what the calculater says Buyer Resonsible for Shipping or local pic up.”

“I have an upgraded/restored Willys CJ3A. Make no mistake, this is setup to be a 4 x 4 monster-mudder & street rod, not a mellow collector’s vehicle. It has a very strong Chev 350 w/headers and almost brand new dual Flowmasters (a little loud). Edelbrock 4 barrel (no high rise manifold). Alluminum cross flow radiator with electric fan & transmission cooler. TH400 auto trans w/B&M shifter. Has twin shifter Dana 20 transfer case. Has 4 inch spring lift and 2 inch body lift with quality rubber mounts. It has almost brand new Corbeau front bucket seats with matching rear bench. Full cage roll bar (padded). Saginaw steering (manual–really tight–NO slop or play) with tilt steering wheel and collum ignition switch. 11 inch drum brakes with aftermarket master cylender on firewall (hanging pedal). All gauges, switches, lights, turn signels, emergency flashers, wipers and heater ALL work great. Duamatic front hubs. Both front & rear lockers. 33 x 12.50 R15LT tires (90% tread left).
There is NO cancer rot anywhere. A little patch of bedliner is peeling under back seat with just a little surface rust. The diamond plate accents are mainly for looks (just makes side steps more usable–they’re still intact under plating). Clear Wa. title. Tabs good for next 11 months.
Now, the issues (not very many): needs coolant saver and tubing installed. Only has bikini top currently. Needs dust cover for transmission bellhousing. That’s pretty much it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.
(05/21/2013) The seller notes it’s a F-head, but I wonder if they mean L-head?
“I have a 1953 willys jeep cj3a for sale or trade. Runs awesome, drives awesome. Really fun jeep to run around in. Flat black, tires are great, chrome rims, has f-head motor. Would be a fun toy for the coming weekend. Willing to trade, atvs, pickup, good car, trailers, tools, let me know what you got.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000
“The Empire tractor consisted of military power components from World War II-era jeeps. It had a 4-cylinder, 40 hp Willys-Overland engine, a Model T-84 Spicer 3-speed transmission, Spicer transfer case with high and low speeds, Willys rear end, steering column and gearbox. It also had PTO, individual clutch-type rear brakes with a stop provided for parking and a rear belt pulley. The fuel tank and an Empire-style seat were mounted on a large operator’s platform (made from Navy ship decking). Its simple, basic gauges (ammeter, oil pressure and temperature), ignition switch and starter button also came from the jeep. The Empire tractor was originally made for exportation in the Lend-Lease Program after World War II.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500
What’s covering the rear wheel wells?
“I never got stuck….. This baby has the famous 4 wheel drive that was used in WW2….including High and Low Range. The Jeep is updated to a “Dauntless V6” engine that was totally rebuilt and has less than 20 hours….it purrs. I also just replaced the transmission and it syncs up beautifully…. Seats are in great shape and your wife will love them. This is just the vehicle you need in the woods or to just bum around town. Yes it is “street legal.” Only reason I am selling is that my wife has arthritis and has a difficult time getting in….she wants one of those low slung UTVs. I have more than $7000 in the baby….but she has to go. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
This probably has an F-head.
“1946 Willy Jeep, good tires & rims, vinyl top, tow bar, runs.”
It’s a project.
“Here is a heavily modified old willys. Just about everything on it has been upgraded. Obviouslt the whole rear has been replaced with a tubular cage. I made it to offer great rollover strength but still mimic the classic body lines of the original willys, hence the curved door openings and the opening to fit the original willys tailgate.. The suspension uses Wider YJ leaf springs all around. reverse shackles up front and a 3/4 elliptical system in the rear, which allows for major flex. The old screw type steering was replaced with a heavy duty Saginaw box and beefed up custom linkage all over. All 4 wheels have been converted to disc brakes with stainless lines. the drivetrain however I kept stock, first, because of the nostalgia factor of keeping it willys, Second, because it has proven itself. Back when this was a normal jeep I could plow tons of snow and not slow it down at all or drive down the freeway at a fair speed. I have not started he engine in a few years but I’m sure it will crank over.
As I said, this is a project so it needs finished. Off the top of my head, it needs driveshafts put in, sheetmetal installed as the floor and sides (optional) brake lines run, pedals installed, amongst a few other things.
I am losing out big time asking what I am for it, but we all know you never get what you put into them. I just need to clear out some projects. You can call or text me at 4 four O-31 nine- O 47 O”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This doesn’t run at the moment, but looks like it might make an interesting restoration project.
“1962 Willys Jeep for sale for parts or Bonded title. This is an extremely rare Hard top Jeep. The front bumper has a tow bar, fog lights and winch (unknown condition) and ammo cans mounted on it. The rear Bumper has Fuel cans and lay down equipment/luggage rack on it. The Jeep body is in excellent condition with no visible rust. The Hard top is in good condition. The doors for hard top have rust holes but can be repaired. Seats need to be replaced. The engine turns over by hand but I don’t know if it runs because the keys where lost (the person I got the jeep from claims it ran good about a year ago??). I have several Jeeps and only selling this one because I just started a new Business and need the money to get it going. $2500.00”

(02/02/2012) It sounds like there are all kinds of parts.
“Recently acquired a semi trailer full of used and NOS jeep parts from a closed down ‘chuck lewis motors’ jeep dealership/mechanics shop. I have been told this dealership closed down in the 90’s and all the parts were consolidated into two semi trailers…of which then was consolidated into this one trailer. I was in college at the time I started working on the partial/crude inventory list but I think it gives a good idea of what is in there. I would guess the inventory list (over 2000 parts) is a mere 50% of the actual entire inventory. At first I planned on selling each part…but as you can see with over 2000 parts already on the inventory list…this would be a full time job. I am looking to sell the entire inventory. This find is in fact a gold mine of NOS willy’s and older jeep parts (pre 80’s) there is also a large collection of used hard to find body parts, engines, axles, drivelines, drivetrain parts. I am available to discuss any and all details with those of you whom are interested in making an offer and whom would like to meet and see the parts. The trailer is located in Laramie, Wyoming at AAA Recycling and Salvage. Keep in mind, I am very aware of the high value of these parts and of the risk the buyer is taking….I would like to see these parts get to someone who will keep them in circulation instead of being crushed as scrap. Experts who have looked at the inventory have estimated over $80,000 in retail from these hard to find items. I am also open to a partial purchase of any combination of items. I do not have the time to sell these one by one, my loss is your gain, $18000 or best offer takes this inventory. More pictures available upon request.”
No pics provided.
“0riginal ,flat four ..original running gear ..runs great 2A””
