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 .

Is this an early Watson Hub? Something else? I don’t recognize it. It is on a 1952 truck for sale in Los Angeles right now.
UPDATE: Still Available.

“56 Willy’s flat bed dump. Rebuilt hurricane 6, “Dump O Magic” w rebuilt cylinders. New brakes, springs over drive. Brought truck up from New Mexico a few years ago.”
UPDATE: Unclear if Rudy still needs parts or not.
Rudy recently purchased this National Park Service fire truck out of Fort Collins, Colorado. He wants to restore it, but needs some help locating parts and information about it. If anyone knows anything or has some parts, please contact him at rudyskfparts @ sbcglobal.net (remove spaces around the @).
“Looking for the needle in a hay stack but it’s worth a shot as not many Willys fire trucks out there. Looking for the pump, tank, hose reel and any other items that may have come off this truck over the years. Has a great history serving in the National Park Service and want to bring it back to it’s former glory but will need some help.
This was purchased in 1993 at a Government surplus auction by Mr. Bender of Fort Collins at which time it was a functioning fire truck but soon sold it to a Mr. Kleeberg who at the time owned a wrecking yard for years in Fort Collins. Not much is known after this point as Mr. Kleeberg passed away and little is known what happened to the missing parts. If anyone knows any history and /or what happened to any of the parts specific to this truck I would be interested in purchasing any parts to help restore the truck. Will gladly pay a finders fee that leads to the purchase of any parts as well.
First two pictures are of the truck needing the parts and the last four are of a similar trucks and what the parts would look like. The truck was built by Bay City Fire Trucks in Bay City Michigan.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3400.
This is a project, but the body appears in good shape. Seller provides lots of details.
“Read description carefully, most of the info you need is there- I am busy and don’t have time for emails from people who are too lazy to read.
This truck has great potential, I’ve had it for years but I don’t have the time to give it the attention it deserves. Unlike 90% of the Willys trucks out there, this is one of the few that I would restore as it is fairly rare. Beaten, and abused Willys trucks are a dime a dozen, but this one has more potential than most, as is an early “flatnose” 1947, and may be one of the earliest surviving 4×4 civilian pickup trucks in the United States (excluding the Power Wagon truck, which was the same as the military version).
The truck looks much better in pics than in person. I did a quick paint job of the original Michigan Yellow as when I got this truck the PO had sanded the body to bare metal, then abandoned the project. I didn’t do any body work, nothing hidden or bad surprises. With the exception of the bed floor (rust) tranny tunnel (cut to fit PTO) and grill (backside cut to fit motor) the body is pretty good. The doors are the straightest I have ever seen, the cab is very good, the fenders good except a few holes where turn signals were mounted (these trucks did not come with turn signals). Other than a small bolt hole on door (for a mirror), no bondo or bodywork was seen. What you see is what you get. Solid metal.
The motor is a 1965 5-bolt 289. It runs, drives and doesn’t smoke, but I don’t think the motor is that tight as the oil pressure drops pretty low on longer drives. The motor is the same code as the Cobra and mustang HP 289, but it is not the HP. I’m 99% the motor could be fixed by replacing the bottom bearings, or you could pull the motor and sell it for enough money to buy a replacement. These motors can go for a fair amount of money. Really a great motor but needs a bigger radiator.
The Koenig PTO works.
Brand new vintage looking Deep Lug mud tires with hard-to -find 16″ Willys wheels. over 1k in the wheels.
Has a later model heater that works well, but the install wasn’t the best.
the bed is straight, but has holes on the floor and isn’t the bed that originally came with the truck. The easy fix is to weld a later-model floor in place of the original, as you may never find a bed that hasn’t been abused hauling rock or firewood.
The tailgate is salvageable, but not the greatest. Still, like the bed, these things were workhorses, and nearly always abused on a ranch or farm. Straight tailgates with the “WO” (Willys-Overland) are hard to find.
Most of the glass and rubber, including the windshield are new. the windshield gasket alone costs over $300.
The brakes were redone just before I got the truck. Need bleeding and adjustment.
Steering is sketchy. Bushings and basic maintenance should make it drivable-BUT, if you haven’t had the pleasure of driving something this old, please understand these are a bitch to drive! This is a manly-man truck that takes skill and patience to drive. You do not want to commute to work everyday in it, and it is not safe to drive on the highway.
Bill of Sale only. Not stolen!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
Seller has a couple parts trucks.
“the gray one is complete no rust and in dicent shape 2000 the green one is a parts truck 800 I have a spare super hurricane turns over has compression a t90 trans and a pto box”
