About eWillys
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.
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 .
“I bought this not too long ago, but bills have come up and something has to go. This jeep is very complete. The data plates, frame and even original ford engine all match! The engine turns over. I had the starter rebuilt. New plugs, wires and coil. I got the engine cranking, but can’t get it to fire. I think it’s a timing issue? There are tons of F marked items. Many original parts. Bows and brackets, all 5 combat rims, spare tire holder, sparton horn, fuel strainer etc… Sorry, but no rear seat. The main issue is the body which is rusted out around the gun mount area and gas tank. The original gas tank is here, but it is rusted through in spots. Looks like this jeep was never repainted. The hood numbers are here as well as the rear panel stars. I went through all the pain and paperwork and got a bonded title on this. YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT. THIS HAS A TRANSFERABLE TITLE IN MY NAME.”
The pics are a little to small to tell much from them.

Rikk shared a picture of a great old lighted sign that still hangs at Brileya’s Chrysler Jeep Dealership, 1253 US Route 7, North Rutland, Vt. It still works and flashes between blue, pink, and white. So check it out the next time you are in Vermont. http://www.brileyaschryslerjeep.net/index.htm
This has a column shifter and something unusual on the back. It appears to be a combo capstan and drum winch? You tell me.

It would cost over $10k to get this professional type work done on this jeep if you were to hire it out. It looks better than new in every aspect, including under the hood.”

(01/07/2012) This may be worth a look. The front horns look original.
“Selling a 1945 Willys military Jeep. Good for parts, or restoration. No engine, transmission, or transfer case. No title, it was last registered in Vermont in the 1960s, where it was used as a farm vehicle.”
The jeep looks great. The seller has plenty to share.
“Hi, I purchased this Willy’s from a gentleman in Texas who performed an approximate 3 year, nut and bolt, frame off restoration on it. As far as I can tell from the paper work, and speaking with the previous owner, this vehicle has always been in Texas up until now. I have a photo file of over 2,500 images on three compact discs that contain every aspect of the restoration, as well as a meticulously kept journal of hand written notations, and a box of receipts totaling well over $20,000. I have included 12 images of the restoration in process prior to my purchasing it, as well as 12 images of how it appears today. Every single part of this Willy’s has been disassembled and either rebuilt, renewed or replaced (for full disclosure I should mention that I’ve noticed the rubber boot on the shifter and a couple other rubber bits show some age). Every part, including the motor, transmission, drive drain, suspension, complete electrical system….. has been rebuilt. I can provide you with a before and after image (and receipt) of practically any and every part on this jeep. The entire vehicle was taken down to bare metal, primed with a rust inhibiting primer and painted. No corners were cut and no expense spared. This was obviously a passion and not a money making venture for this man. I have owned it for about a year and half now. When I received the jeep it had an oil leak coming from the main tranny seal. When the restoration was done, an original felt seal was used and they are notorious for leaks. I replaced the transmission with a new, rebuilt T-90, and installed a new rubber, steel spring main seal. When driven around town, only a tiny drop or two will leak from the seal when it is parked, but when driven off road it will leak a bit more. Maybe a tablespoon’s worth. Other than that, the jeep starts, drives, shifts and performs strong. Only 850 miles have been put on the Willy’s since the restoration (see odometer) and only 300 on the tranny. There are only a few flaws I would like to mention. One is that the fuel gauge works intermittently, mostly it reads empty. On occasion, with no rhyme or reason, it will kick in. The headlight switch works, but sometimes requires that you push it in and out a few times before the lights come on. Once they are on, they stay on until you put the switch in the off position. On the neck of the radiator, where the cap locks on, the seal will leak some fluid. But again, only when driving off road and it doesn’t amount to much. other than that, this Willy’s is pretty much bullet proof. They are fun to drive around town and climb like you wouldn’t believe. What you see in the pictures, aside from a few spare parts, receipts, repair and owner’s manuals is what you get. I do not have a top for it. All original and hard to find parts were used in the restoration, from the turn signal switch, to the horn and side steps. It retains it’s original 6 volt charging system. Once again, rebuilt generator, new regulator and battery. If you are interested in entering and winning any beauty contests with this jeep, this is not the one for you. All the body work was completed without the use of body filler. Although at first glance it appears show quality, with a closer look you can see where body repairs were performed, welds made and sanded. Areas on the hood which had had rust were not filled in, just treated and painted leaving evidence of past pitting. The good news is, is that there is now ZERO rust on this jeep and it is straight and solid as can be, no reason it won’t be around another 62 years. I hate to be selling it, but our family is moving to Los Angeles and I don’t see having much use for it there. …. see ebay add for additional info”
