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: Sold. Was listed at $300.g.

This might work for someone.
“L134 Engine block, it was running when I took it out of the jeep about 6 moths ago. The guy I bought the jeep off of said he had the engine rebuilt about 10 years ago and just used it for plowing, so the jeep sat alot. The engine is free and will turn by hand, not seized. The number on the Engine bossbehind the water pump is either MJ2915 or MT2915. I really can’t make it out. On the head there is a stamp that says 6-48. Im not sure how old the engine is but is definetly not a Willys MB motor. Most likely out of a CJ2A or CJ3A. I took the valve cover off and it is pretty clean inside. I did not take off the head. There is no cracks or breaks in the block. It is in pretty good shape. I cracked the plastic timing gear trying to remove the engine plate. Other than the attachements on the motor, everything internal is complete and has not been touched”
Brian wrote me asking if I knew what type of engine this was. He pulled it out of a old WWII Jeep and didn’t recognize it. He wrote that the Head cast was #634816 and the block casting#630282. In particular, he noted the exposed cylinder tubes.
I told him I didn’t know what it was, and confessed that I had never worked with any MB/GPW motors, but I would do my best to figure it out (I do enjoy a good internet hunt). After searching through various images I could see it was similar to a MB and GPW motor, but was also different.
For example, you can see examples of GPW heads here at Dino’s site and though it looks similar, it’s missing various features. Here is an example of MB block. In fact, if you go here, you can review all kinds of WWII engines.
After trying various keyword images searches, I tried typing in the casting numbers and that is when I discovered that the head was a pre war head from a Willys Model 37. So, then I looked at prewar Willys. On this page http://clubs.hemmings.com/clubsites/wocv/willywilly/willywilly.htm on the fourth pic down, you can just make out, just below the distributor, similar indentations on a 1938 Willys. Here is a better look at a prewar block.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Auctioned.
There are a couple interesting issues with this CJ-3B. First, note the unusual windshield, which almost appears chopped down. Second, note the fenders; These just don’t look quite right. I’m even wondering if they are plywood?
The image below does provide a pretty good shot of that left front frame rail and it looks pretty clean, suggesting the frame is in really good shape. The body also looks pretty straight, which adds to my confusion about the fenders.
UPDATE: **SOLD**. Was listed at $500.
