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 .
UPDATE: Was listed at $3000.
(09/28/2011) It doesn’t run and has no title.
“Willys Jeep–does not run, has no title, great for those collectors who like to rebuild to original condition. Very rare.”
Each of these posters is purchased separately from three separate eBay ads. This unique top is not something I remember seeing. Anyone know anything about it?
UPDATE: Since this model was on ebay, I contacted the museum’s curator to see if the museum was interested. The curator let me know they already had an original (brand new) version of this heater along with the original box at the Ypsilanti Museum.
Josh spotted this ebay ad for an unusual hand crank heater. It is similar to the Stewart Warner Hand Crank Heater, but made by the Ypsilanti Machine and Tool Company. That is the same company that Preston Tucker owned.
“UP FOR AUCTION IS THIS HAND CRANK MILITARY HEATER.. I DONT KNOW FOR SURE BUT THIS MAY BE A STEWART AND WARNER HEATER.THIS MUST HAVE BEEN USED BY THE US AIR FORCE BECAUSE THE TAG ON IT SAYS PROPERTY OF U.S.A.F. I’AM NOT SURE WHAT THIS IS USED FOR..I’VE HEARD MANY DIFFERENT USES FOR IT I JUST CANT SAY FOR SURE WHAT IT WAS USED FOR. IT IS A HAND CRANK HEATER.. THE CRANK STILL CRANKS OVER AND THE GAS TANK HAS NO REAL RUST AND TANK LOOKS ALMOST NEW INSIDE.. I TRIED TO TAKE A PICTURE OF INSIDE OF THE TANK FOR YOU TO SEE. IT DOES BLOW AIR OUT WHEN YOU WIND THE HANDLE. I HAVENT EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS.. I DON’T KNOW IF ITS WWI OR WWII OR LATER..IM SURE SOMEONE ON HERE WILL SEE AND KNOW WHAT IT WAS USED FOR.”
(This has nothing to do with jeeps, but everything to do with food)
Last fall when Ann and I were visiting with Bob and Mindy in Ohio Bob happened to pull out a hand slicer he used to slice meat. I thought it was really cool and told him so. A couple months ago he was at an auction, spotted one, and called me to ask if he should bid on it. Sure I said. He got a good price on it and shipped it out west to me. I finally got a chance to boil, clean and reassemble it.
The best thing is that it is all steel and tough and can be taken apart and cleaned; almost no plastic! It’s called a General 100 Meat Slicer. I still need some two more footings, but it works great. Pretty good for a 45 year-old machine. Even cooler is that someone inscribed their name and a date — June of 1967. Thanks again Bob!
Here’s is are a variety of them on Etsy for sale. Here are others on eBay. Below is a picture of mine with some freshly sliced ham.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $300.
There’s some value here.
“I have a 1946 CJ2A for sale. Engine transmission are included but out of Jeep. Has rust issues on tub. Includes seats, windshield, gas tank, grill, front fenders, pretty much complete except apart. Frame and rolling chassis is OK. Wheels and tires do NOT go with Jeep. I am keeping them for another Jeep I have. $300 cash. Possible hauling for a fee ?? Located in Watseka. Trade for WW2 Jeep parts???”
Fabulous deal! This will go quick. It even runs! I want it!
“1946 Willy’s CJ2A Jeep. The good – I brought this up from Colorado so it is not a complete rust bucket , has been converted to 12 volt, runs and drives enough to be loaded on a trailer. The Bad – Brakes are dried up and will need rebuilt, Flywheel ring needs replaced. This jeep sat in a field for 15 years, I changed the oil, lubed the cylinders and primed with fresh gas and it fired right up. Sounds real smooth once you get past the old gas. I have driven it around the yard to move it , but never no distance due to No Brakes. Great for Parts or to Fix up. Asking 700.00 obo will provide bill of sale or can assist with title work.”
