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 .

“Project jeep for someone with time. My grandmother game me this 25 years ago and I haven’t been able to find time to work on it. Text me with any questions”
“Hobart DC welder from the 50s powered by a 4 cylinder CJ2A jeep flat head engine and mounted on a 2 wheel trailer that fits Chrysler rims. Item has been stored in a garage for around 25 years after being taken out of service due to a leaky gas tank. The cables were scrapped due to the insulation all falling off of them years ago. The trailer tongue has a single hole in a flat strap cut with a gas torch.
The engine is stuck from sitting for years but should not have gotten any water in it.
I have a key for it that fits the switch and moves between positions.”
“47 Willys, project, parts,etc. No title, has a fully rebuilt Ford 200 straight 6 with about 3500-4000 miles on it. Has not been run in at least 6 years and is missing a few plug wires. What you see is what you get. Make offer, just want this out of the driveway!”
“This is a ready to restore “core” jeep, meaning it has 90% of the original parts, less searching. The motor is stuck, but it has black oil & anti-freeze in the radiator, probably a good core motor. Overall, this is a really good Willys to restore. . .Naturally it depends on how far you want to take it. Delivery arrangements can be made & only comes with a SC Bill of Sale”

“1943 ford jeep 1500.00 obo runs but needs carb and brake work I have brake parts has rust on floor pans needs a gas tank have title. Engine is out of a 55 willys jeep”
Paul’s made some additional progress over the last month on his stainless jeep.
Paul writes, The upholstery is done, the driver’s seat has been installed and the seat belt/shoulder harness combos have been adjusted for length and bolted in place. The passenger seat will still need to be removed to allow access to the battery mount and cable connections in the electrical box but progress is being made.
Corbeau three inch wide belts with a cam lock release and in a color that goes well with the upholstery and stainless steel.
Paul has also been working on the battery installation. He continues, The open space on the right side of the electrical junction box should be filled with a new Odyssey AGM side post battery
Here I’m comparing the size of the Odyssey battery to the mockup battery I taped together out of poster board. I used the mockup battery to locate the attach points for the battery hold down bracket in the electrical junction box.
The battery fits and there’s even room for a longer battery. This small battery weighs 45 pounds so I don’t believe there’s any need to get a larger and heavier battery anytime in the future.
This hold down bracket is slightly bigger than the battery but the battery is firmly held when the attach hardware is tightened. The bracket consists of eight separate pieces of stainless held together by 40 rivets.
Now it’s time to start smoke testing the wiring and that might take a while.
