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 .
I did learn that the jeep on which this was based is called both a Willys MB Calliope or a MB with a Rocket Launcher unit. I’m sure someone else knows more about this than I.

I’m guessing by the front grille that this is some type of Tri-ang pedal jeep, based on what I can see from the CJ-3B Page. The back is different though. Lots of pics and even a video.
“I’m selling my 1950 Jeep Willys CJ-3A. It’s been in the family for quite a few years. I’ve personally owned the vehicle since 2006.
The Jeep Runs and drive but it doesn’t drive too good because the motor needs tuned up, and the clutch needs fixed as you will see from the description below.
The Jeep needs quite a lot of work.
1. The engine needs a tune up, new spark plugs, etc. The timing is off a little.
2. Engine is overheating, it just shuts off when it gets too hot, but the head gasket is NOT blown.
3. Something is wrong with the clutch could be any component such as the linkage, pressure plate, etc. I have no clue what the source of the problem is.
4. Probably needs new gaskets for the differentials and the transfer case because there is a tiny leak of gear oil now and then.
5. Gas tank has a leak somewhere but you can’t actually visibly see gas leaking from the tank and dropping onto the ground.
6. Speedometer and odometer do not work.
7. The front end possibly needs rebuilt, a family member told me this by looking at it.
8. I believe these are all of the problems, but I’m not a mechanic, so I don’t know for certain.
Please remember this is an older vehicle, and everything on it is obviously old and not in perfect, ideal operating condition. The Jeep drives and handles quite well considering the fact that it is a 4×4 and a rugged stout Jeep.
4 WHEEL DRIVE WORKS, transfer case engages, hubs lock in, etc.
The motor is not original. It is a V6 from a 1973 Mercury Capri, and it has a Motorcraft two barrel carburetor. It also has a few new parts, nothing really major just little parts here and there such as a new electric fuel pump, new ignition coil.
DUAL EXHAUSTS WITH GLASSPACK MUFFLERS!! IT DOESN’T SOUND TOO BAD!!!
Tires are 33×12.5 BFG all terrains in the back, the two tires in front are just generic all terrains. Tires are older, but they are in good condition and have a lot of tread left on them.
American Racing Wheels.
Bucket Seats up front, bench in the back.
4-point racing harnesses for front bucket seats.
Body is in great condition, but not perfect. No Bondo or any hack jobs.
Full size mounted and balanced spare tire that is pretty old, and four new shocks go with the vehicle.
I would love for this Jeep to go to somebody who wants to own an awesome, one of a kind American made vehicle.
Clean Arizona title. It is ready to sell right now! THE Jeep is not currently registered.
$5100.00 OR BEST OFFER.
Please make me a fair offer. ALL REASONABLE OFFERS WILL DEFINITELY BE CONSIDERED. HIGHLY MOTIVATED SELLER!!!!”

Robin had a question about a wagon he just bought. Unfortunately, I don’t have the time to research it at the moment, so I’ll throw it out to you all.
Robin writes, ” just purchased a 1957 Station Wagon that, from the pictures on Craigs List, appeared to be a Parkway conversion. Upon further inspection I am totally confused. It has the rear doors of a delivery wagon that appear to be factory. The windows however, are not flush but recessed and the wheel wells are squared instead of rounded. The history, according to the seller, was:
1. sold to US Forest Service
2. 12 years ago sold to a fella in Moab, UT.
3. The gentleman I purchased it from got it three years ago and used it as a “daily driver” for two years. It sat for one year when they decided to sell it.
UPDATE: I moved this morning’s posts to the top of tonight’s posts, but I’ll keep this ‘update’ here.
Just a few posts this morning. I’ll post more a little later.
Ann and I have to run the truck to the dump transfer station (the truck is full of garage cleaning). This is Ann’s first time to the transfer station, a place special to the family. It was at the transfer station in 2003 where dad drove the truck for the first time following his stroke. The stroke hurt his ability to use his right side, so he had to relearn the use of it.
It all started, because he was unhappy with mom’s parking job. So, he climbed over to the driver’s side while she was taking off the tarp to dump stuff. He meant to pull forward a few feet, but instead his foot hit the accelerator, causing the truck to lurch forward about fifty feet before dropping over a steep embankment.
There was a shriek from mom and gasps from employees and onlookers. Soon, news helicopters showed up to film the scene. However, the copters left the scene, disappointed by the lack of death. Because, both dad and the truck survived just fine. It took two tow trucks to pull the truck back up, but it still drives fine. In fact, it is the very truck we are taking to the dump today 🙂
I can’t tell if this was a WW2 or CJ, since there has been at least some body repairs.

Bob uploaded pictures from day 1 of the 2012 Spring Midwest Willys Reunion. It looks like the weather was beautiful. Bob said he’d try to upload more pictures tomorrow.
If I understand correctly, this only goes backwards? Looks nice otherwise. TH350s are cheap.
