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 .
This looks in decent shape, though the steering wheel looks twisted.

“Here for your consideration is an April 13th, 1943 Louisville, KY production Ford GPW 1/4 ton jeep. Disassembly was begun so there are some loose parts. Perfect restoration project. Has all four wheels (post war CJ rims with modern street tires) but not pictured. Has a post war early CJ motor that is not seized up. I purchased this almost two years ago but with two other WWII jeep projects this one has to go.”
It has an extra body, but it’s a bit rusty.

Lots of rust here. Unclear there is much value.

“1951 Jeep CJ3A Current condition is rough, notrunning; motor is running but not installed. would be a good parts Jeep. I have a spare willys frame from a jeep wagon with axles and transmission. I have lost interest and funds for this project and need the space. Make offer i need to move this thing from my garage.”
More-months-than-I-care-to-think-about ago (about seven months I think), I bought a cheap Affordable Bender. When it arrived, I was less than impressed with the collar (see this post). So, I called them, only to learn that the collar was designed that way and should work fine (I believe they told me “Billions” of bends have been done with Affordable Benders, or something like that).
So, I decided to test the bender before sending it back; I hadn’t expected to wait 7 months to test it!
Yesterday, I mounted it to my metal work table and tested it with a 90 degree bend, one of two I need for the racer’s main loop (it’s the most difficult bend of the entire roll cage). The bender comes with a 90 degree die, so I was a little worried wether the bender would do a 90 degree bend.
First off, it didn’t take me long to miss my old bender, the one I built from plans: http://www.ewillys.com/2009/10/08/my-tube-bender-almost-done/. But, since I couldn’t access my plan (lock PDF with no password and the author of the PDF wouldn’t answer my emails), I had to buy this AFF bender.
Here are the results of the 90 degree bend .. as you can see, it stops short of a 90 degree bend:
Ugh .. what It meant is that I had to force the 15′ tube through the collar a few inches so I could add an additional bend. While that worked, I bent it too far (I misread my level .. it went to 90 degrees which I missed, then started down to 88, so I thought it was at 88 and needed to go to 90. UGH .. had to start over).
Eventually, I got the hang of how to do a 90 degree bend with this and managed to create the loop below.
This pic shows the first 90 finished and I’m starting on the second.
This shows the second 90 done. That is all the 90s I need, so the rest of the bends should be much easier.
I still have two more bends on this loop (the bars are parallel, though don’t look that way in the pics), which I’ll complete tomorrow.
