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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .

This Jeep is not presently running. I believe it only needs a professional timing job to run again. The original engine threw a bearing through the oil pan and a rebuilt engine from Boyce Equipment in Ogden was installed. It was in perfect running order until recently when the distributor power became disconnected and threw out the timing. It turns over and tries to start, but I cannot get the timing right myself. I bought this Jeep from the Groom Creek Fire Department in Prescott, AZ in 2002. It is rust and dent free, straight as an arrow. I have been refinishing it since and the many extras now include:
Newer paint in and out, Rhino lined bed and cab
4.56 differential gears (Higher highway speeds up to 65 mph)
Custom one-piece, powder coated Diamond Racing Rims with Pro-Comp off road tires
PTO Braden winch with Rock Stomper fiber braid rope
62 inch all weather black diamond plate tool box in bed
Newer Canvas top (6 yrs. old)
J-truck bench seat
2 New 12V Die Hard Gold gel batteries (in-line for 24V)
Blackout light, Pioneer tools and straps, Rhino grill, Brush Guard
Hi-Lift jack, heavy duty tow straps
All military manuals, extra parts like a canister-style air filter, extra carb, military siren, military spare tire, some J-truck do-dads.
I am selling my much loved Jeep because I got it when I was single, and now I have a wife and 4 kids, and it isnt really family appropriate. A great ride for a rugged do-it-yourselfer, or a classic 4×4 enthusiast. Turns heads, garners thumbs-ups, and will instantly instill a sense of bad-assedness.”
If this really has a 4:1 transfercase gearing, then this might be a fine price. Is the body a vec body?

“Tub number: 99803 aprx date of manufacture July 3rd 1944
Titled: Yes
Nomenclature plates: none
Info:
Jeep was originally purchased in 1960’s and used extensively on vineyard land as a family tour vehicle.
The condition of the frame shows some rear cross member damage and the front cross member has a rust hole in it but all is within your normal “fixable” range of condition.
The body tub tool box floors are rotted through and there is patch work to the floors in places.
Modifications include:
Home made tow bar assembly
M38 – CJ front windscreen with no wipers
Front seat frames back rest repaired with newer tubing
No rear seat
No top bows or brackets
No body handles or hardware
Tub was skinned on the front sides and seams bondoed
CJ radiator
Homemade wiring to tail-lights
After market tail-lights
Ford truck wheels- 16 inch rims- 650 mud and snow tires in good shape (no spare)
After market speedometer
Period correct reproduction Temp, oil pressure and voltage meter and key switch.
No nomenclature plates.
Engine and drive-line:
The engine shows a compression reading of
1- 100 lbs
2- 86
3- 85
4- 100
The engine may need a valve adjustment but appears to run fine. Components work off of the original 6 volt system.
The heat riser is stuck and needs to be serviced.
The transmission shifts and performs normally.
Some oil seepage mixed with dirt is present but no major oil leakage on the ground.
Proper air cleaner, cross over tube, oil filter housing. The carburetor is a CJ (636-SA) Carter in good running order.
Conclusion:
This Jeep has been driven slow most all of it’s life. The running gear and motor are in good useable condition. The body is good for hunting and gathering but obviously not for show. A full restoration is possible but the Jeep would need a lot of correct style components so the cost may be prohibitive.
This Jeep would be best used as a….Vineyard Jeep or hunting.”
