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: This appears sold. Was priced at $2800.
(11/10/2012) Lots of mods.

UPDATE: **SOLD** was $15000.
(10/21/2012) If this is a 1941, it should have a squared gas tank and be a slatgrille. I did a search for a “General Ralph Pangonis”, but could only find a General William Pangonis, who supervised logistical operations during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

(11/05/2012) I think this should have chrome bumpers like the jeep above. Still, this looks in good shape.
“1967 Jeep CJ6 (20″ longer than a CJ5). This is the Tuxedo Park Mark IV model, which amounts to chrome on hindges, etc. This jeep has the Duantless (hurricane) GM V6 engine which was stock, the first engine Jeep went to after the F & L four cylinder flat head engines. This jeep comes with the original hard top & hard doors, which all have new glass (i bought it from a fellow who owned a glass shop). The previous owner did a frame up restoration (no drive train that i know of). I have done the following to the jeep: new wiring harness; front disc brakes; power steering; tilt steering; larger gas tank under the rear end; changed the manual 3 speed transmission to a 4 speed with a granny gear (the tranny needs some work as 2nd gear is tough going in); replaced oil bath air filter with a dry element air filter; rebuilt transfer case; new oil pressure, temp, tachometer, fuel & volt gauges; electric heater; kenwood stereo (not a modern blue tooth/USB type, it was a few years ago). This jeep has a PTO winch on the front, will pull itself up a tree! Bridgestone mud dueler tires, you won’t need tires for several years to come. Tow bar. It comes with two rear seats, the original & an after market folding rear seat from JC Whitney. CB radio. Sad to say i am selling this jeep to buy a newer one, the newer ones are easier to get in & out of, my knees are getting old! If you don’t like the price make me an offer to buy or trade for a newer jeep that has bigger door openings!”
I ran across this article yesterday. Some college students at the Ontario, Canada, college of Notre Dame plan to restore a 1943 Willys. The picture comes from the Welland Tribune’s online article.

Here are a couple different postcards of a DJ-3A Surrey towing some kind of visitor car at the Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn in Frankenmuth, MI. The Bavarian Inn is still there. I wonder what happened to the jeep?

Pictured here are a couple Willys MAs. I spotted the pictured at http://med-dept.com/testimonies/harold_okeefe.php
This is located in Israel. It’s just kind of unusual, so I thought I’d highlight it.

Anyone have the right 1904 Holley (or 1909?) for the f-head installation into a flattie? I’m trying to help a reader find one.
If I understand correctly, these are the correct carb numbers: R-2003A und R-2003-1A (Ford p / n of CODE-9510B or CODE-9510D)
Here are some links with information about the Holley carb / f-head / flattie install

This had a V8 swap in it. It has very early data plates, which suggests it was a VEC. It also has the tool indents. I can’t tell if it has a column shift still or not. It has the square washers on the windshield.
“i have a 46 willys jeep project. to many projects need to sell. it had a sb chevy in it. no titel bill of sale. i do have the engine that was in it but it was locked up . 1200 obo”

(10/18/2012) This has one of the widest hood scoops I’ve ever seen. It lacks turn signals.

From the National Archives comes this photograph of a document used to record funding raising for jeep parts. There is supposed to be a corresponding blueprint, but I haven’t found the document yet.

Steve spotted this photo of an Armoured CJ-5 used by Armoured Banking Services to transport cash. On July 26th, 1966, this jeep was used to ferry cash to the Veterans Administration. A couple of men decided to make a withdrawal from the two employees carrying the cash into VA building, knocking them down with a submachine guns. You can read the whole story in the article below the eBay photo.

This is an article I found online about the robbery:
Craig spotted this unusual sculpture by Guillermo Forchino. Born in Argentina, he now lives in France. You can read more about Guillermo at his website.
“COMIC ART OF GUILLERMO FORCHINO TOUR OF DUTY ARMY TRUCK JEEP Brand new with the certificate I Was going to start collecting his work but I changed my mind this is a great piece comes in the original packaged material limited edition 5,000 I have a fair reserve price if it gets close to that I will drop the reserve If it is getting close to what I am asking what I’m asking is cheaper than paid and cheaper than anyone has on the internet Guillermo Forchino Tour of duty art army truck jeep sculpture military”

Craig forwarded this link. He says the FC in this postcard is his now (and he already has several of these postcards). This is another shot of the Ouray, Colorado,area.
UPDATE: *SOLD** Was on eBay
Is this a one off or an aftermarket extension of some kind.
“The Good:
This vehicle is quite complete. No major components are missing. Frame has minimal surface rust. Floorboards are solid, Only a few rust through areas on body. It has an unusual extension at the rear of the body, could be rare.
The Bad:
Will need complete restoration. Fenders bent, no windshield or mirrors, engine is seized. Left front brake binds at times (hard to push vehicle). /font>
I purchased this thinking I would fix it up. However, I’ve got too many projects, and not enough time or money to pursue them all. This vehicle sat out in the elements for quite a while. It looks like some kids put sticks and rocks in the radiator, battery and probably the engine. I have no paperwork for it, the guy I bought it from didn’t either. It’s been out of California’s system so long that it should be easy to get a duplicate title. I’d be happy to fill out a bill of sale if needed.”
This runs and drives. I can’t quite tell, but I think this has tool indents?
“I have a old willys jeep with a cab runs and drives I don’t know much about it I’m selling it for my dad. Would make a great hunting buggy. Questions or offers call 979-220- six six five three.”
http://austin.craigslist.org/cto/3395656013.html
This looks in good shape.
“Runs, shifts, stops and drives good!!! Nice clean looking car, top is in good shape. Just traded in on a new Chrysler. Has overdrive and is still a 6 volt system. Being sold as exempt mileage If you have any questions feel free to call or email me. matt@laportechrysler.com 219-326-6850 ask for Matt”

“I just finished restoring this jeep from the ground up as you can see from the pictures. Most every new part came from ” Kaiser Willys jeep” part house.I have all receipts. Everything either new or rebuilt. Frame has been sandblasted, primed and painted. The body was redone and the underside was undercoated with bedliner to protect it from the weather.All new brakes, excluding the master cyl. brake lines, wheel cyls, shoes and e energy brake too. The engine is from a 1953 Willys Truck, F- Head, 134. Runs great ,doesn’t use any oil. Holds good oil pressure. Has new Holly Carburator,fuel punp, water pump,clutch, preasureplate and throw out bearing. New radiator. The 3 speed trany and transfer have been professionally rebuilt and so has the front 4 wheel drive axle. New stock exhaust .New 12volt wiring. Has a rebuilt heater. New chrome wheels . rear tires are new, fronts are in good condition. The windshield is from a 1950 CJ3a for better viewing with new glass and rubber.The milage is not correct since the speedometer is a aftermarket one that I already had.I have driven it about 50 miles since I completed it. Everything seem to be working good. I have tried to fair and explane everything I can about the jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
There’s an image of rusted out rear floor. The seller says it has been fixed, but maybe they meant different rust.
“This is just a great old jeep! It runs and drives fine. It is 12 volt. There was some rust in the floor, but we fixed it. Overall it’s pretty solid. It is an original jeep motor that’s in it.”
