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.
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 .
I’m not sure if this is a good price or not. I rarely these for sale.

“Belt drive governor for CJ2A — used for belt and PTO Drive application”
Wow. At one time the generator governors were going for over $700 (if I’m remembering correctly). I had just that triangle brace/bracket and it was worth nearly $100. I think I sold it for $75.
Joe: I thought they were worth some money. I guess the popularity has dropped?
If that’s a single speed for generator or welder that’s about right. If it’s a variable speed for farm Jeep then it’s cheap.
That is an early King-Seeley variable speed, complete with the disconnecting pulley, bracket, and linkage to the carburetor. Worth a lot more than the seller posted it for. The seller did not know what he had. Good to the buyer whomever that was, it disappeared off Craigslist before I could read the ad yesterday.
