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 .
This has an early set of Husky Hubs. This has no frame horns, but no sign any have been removed. This may also have the bottom mounted transmission cross member (hard to tell for sure). This could be a very late CJ-2A.
“1948 Willys. Clean green title in hand. This willys needs total restoration. 2” rust hole under passenger toolbox floor. Other than that rust free. Body is pretty straight. Engine spins free and gear shifts have been freed. It has been sitting since 75. Possible trades.”
“Partially restored 1958 Willys CJ3B tub.
Most of the rigorous work has already been done. There is still some metal work left, but 95% rust free at this point, and that’s before blasting! A ton of work has gone into this project so far and picking it up from this point should go smoothly in the right hands. It’s in great shape, no major issues that can’t be repaired easily. Please contact me if interested. Thanks for looking! I could potentially trade for other willys Jeep parts and attachments. Looking for: warn overdrive, Koenig PTO or crankshaft winch, military soft top and bows, Koenig hard top and doors, PTO gearbox, overdrive/PTO adapter, seat frames and cushions. If you have willys parts, let’s deal!”
“All original, would be great for a restoration project. Was purchased with another CJ3B mid-restoration, thought I might need it for parts but would rather sell it and put the money toward my main project. Should run with a little time spent on maintenance. Would also consider trade for a Warn overdrive, large industrial air compressor, or other Willys Jeep parts/implements, (hard top, PTO winch, rear PTO transfer case, etc.) If you have Willys Jeep parts, let’s talk.”
Also, if anyone has a circa 1965 Wagoneer steering wheel, Robert Wood might be interested buying it. They are looking for one for their Cherokee. Email me at d @ deilers.com (no spaces around the @) for Robert’s contact info.
During the 2000s my kids were into World of WarCraft, but I could never get into the game myself. Partly, this was due to my own impatience. Generally, I’m pretty patient, but I’m less so when it comes to games. An example: one time I needed to hand my sword to another player, but to do so I had to execute a bunch of commands, spells, and other machinations that I can no longer remember. Ugh … I quickly lost interest.
Why do I bring this up? Because last night Washington State (and apparently other areas nationwide) suffered through a Verizon outage. Ann and I were in bed when we learned of it, so we tried texting one another. I texted something gloriously romantic like the word, “test”.
Being it is so close to Valentine’s Day, I probably should have texted, “Won’t you be my Valentine”? But, I didn’t …. Dumb, dumb, dumb … You should learn from my mistake … go ahead … please learn from my mistake: text your significant other right now. Ask, “Won’t you be my Valentine”?
I’ll wait. You can thank me later.
Anyway, it took about ten minutes for the texts to reach our respective phones due to the outage and despite the fact we were sitting right next to each other. It felt like World of WarCraft all over again.
I thought these were only used on the M-38A1s. I’m surprised they were testing this on an M-38 as late as 1954. But, perhaps that was just the photo’s release date and not the date of the photo.
“1954 Press Photo US soldiers fire rifle on a jeep at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD. This is an original press photo. Guns – Artillery. Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. The Army’s new battalion (BAT) 106 MM. recoilless rifle is mounted on a jeep and fired during a demonstration at the Army’s Aberdeen Proving Grounds. The rifle has greater range and destructive power than any other weapon now available on the battalion level.Photo measures 10 x 8.25inches. Photo is dated 10-12-1954.”
