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 .
William has a 1962 Willys Wagon that has a F-head. He is looking for another F-head engine.
He writes, “I own a 1962 willy jeep wagon. With a f-head 134 cast iron block and head with mechanical lifters, 3 main bearings forged steel crank and rods The intake valves are in the head but the exhaust valves are in the block. I am looking for a complete engine or a short block with this configurerations. Please send email to willyjeep61@yahoo.com with price”
Norb purchased this basketcase and is working to transform it into a custom wagon. However, he is puzzled about the grille.
Norb writes, “I own a 1953 wagon that was a plow truck out in Wyoming for most of it’s life. It came to me with a Ford Y-block motor. The frame and suspension were shot, but the body is pretty good. I chopped the top and put it on a shortened Dodge Dakota chassis with a 318 V8 and 5spd. trans. Should make a nice little hotrod. I know it was a “Jeep salad” when I got it. It had been hit in the front and repaired many years ago. I cannot ID the grill though. The side aprons have parking lights on them. The air intake hole in mine looks factory, but they are usually below the parking lights.”
I asked Dan for his input. He wrote, “It looks like someone added a heater inlet hole to an early wagon grill (which were solid and didn’t have a hole) and then added extra marker lights also in a different position than factory. The heater inlet hole looks both larger and higher than what the factory added to the later wagons. I’m not sure when the factory added the heater inlet hole, but my beat guess is late 1950s.”
So, has anyone seen a factory wagon grille with the intake hole where Norb’s is?
For comparison, here is an image search for 1953 Wagon grilles

Bob has a M-38 with the original 24 volt system that isn’t running. He lives in Chicago and is having a difficult time finding anyone who knows about jeeps and can handle a 24 volt system. Does anyone know of a mechanic in the Chicago area? Comment below and I’ll make sure Bob gets the information.

“Wanting to buy body parts for a Willys CJ3B. Prefer early 1960s but will consider whatever you have. I’m specifically looking for the cowl, firewall, 4-inch side spacers, and dash, things that usually don’t rust out on these. I’m trying to finish a project and locating these items would make it easier.
CJ3Bs are sometimes called the “high hood” or the “ugly Jeep.”
Will consider complete CJ3B vehicles as long as the price is right. Missing motor or frozen motor will be fine. I have cash.
I’m in Owensboro, but willing to travel for the right parts.”
