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 $150. **SOLD**
Seller saved this and hopes a willys lover can use it.
“Up for sale is a willys jeep powered air compressor I saved it from the scrapyard with plans to restore but have no time for it anymore. Would like to see it go to a jeep collector it turns over that’s all I know about it. Looks pretty complete”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a little confusing. Seller calls this a CJ-6A engine, but the tag reads CJ-3A. It’s a flathead, so the CJ-6A designation seems incorrect.
“For sale is a 1963 Hesse Hornet compressor made by the Hesse Carriage Co. It was designed to sit in the back of a pick-up or on it’s own small trailer. This particular Hesse uses a rare Jeep Kaiser 4cyl CJ-6A engine. It pumps air by having two of the 4 cylinders blocked off to compress while the other two function normally. The engine itself looks good and runs great. It may need a small tune-up from storage but nothing major. It does not come with a battery or gas tank. I tested it by rigging up a temporary tank.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
It runs and generates.
“World War 2 military generator made by Onan. It comes mounted to the trailer and with a vintage wing tank for extra fuel. It is powered by a Willys jeep motor. The generator was bought surplus after the war by the Elgin Amateur Radio Society and they used it for years. The motor runs good with a fresh tune and LOF. The genset is putting out power but the controls on the board need to be cleaned and gone through from sitting. $ 1800, SOLD AS IS”
Bill Lehuta has this for sale. You can call him at 215-6969203 for more information.
“I have this WW2 Willys marked firepump with a jeep engine. It is complete and in excellent original condition.”
This might be worth a look.
“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.”

“cJ3a jeep motor converted into air compressor runs on 1&4 pumps air on 2&4. Does start but needs plugs and wires maybe carb cleaned? Comes with trailer and hose reel.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650.
Joel is selling his grandfather’s willys-powered Hobart welder/generator. It ran when parked by his grandfather.
UPDATE: Was $300. **SOLD**
This Willys powered power unit has potential.
“Vintage 1944 WWII aircraft generator. This generator was running 10 years ago. Currently turns over, but we have not tried to start it. Has been dry garage stored for 30+ years.
Four cylinder Jeep Willy’s engine capable of generating 120V, and also 400Hz. There is a separate Chrysler starter motor (attached to flywheel) that can be hooked to a 6V battery for easy starting. A small hand crank for starting is also included.
It is a 2.5kW 400Hz aircraft generator, but has been modified for 120v 60Hz output on one outlet.
We do not have any manuals or paperwork for this unit. The manual is available via:
http://www.military-info.com/mphoto/P112.htm
The manual is: TM 11-975 Power Unit PU-35/U (17 November 1944); 53 pages, 28 illus.
Dimensions on this unit are 47″ length x 22″ width x 38″ height. It is on small metal wheels. This would easily fit on a small trailer. A winch and set of ramps with careful management of the generator could be possible for one individual. It is very heavy though!
If this ad is posted, the generator is available. More photos available on request. Cash upon pickup.”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
Kyle from East Coast Willys is helping a seller clean his lot of Willys stuff. Here are some links to stuff that are available.
