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 Jeep has an engine from a 1953 Jeep, so it is not the original flathead. It runs good but the brakes are not working. The Jeep has spent all but the last few years in north Texas. It has some rust, as you’d expect. I bought it from a friend of mine and he threw in another motor, an engine block, and some other parts. I was planning to work on this, but I’ve not touched it in three years. It needs to go to someone who will give it the attention it needs.
I have the original title and many years of subsequent registration receipts. It’s a great window of history.”
“Barn Find M151A1 made by Ford. UNCUT, and rolls freely. Tires all hold air. Disconnected fuel, hooked up batteries, and poured fuel in the carb and it fired right up and ran until it ran out of fuel in the carb. didn’t want to run with the the fuel tank hooked up until i get the tank emptied and new fuel put in. All lights work with exception of one headlight. Transmission shifts fine. Comes with original seat cushions, and 2008 manufactured canvas A1 top with the two windows in rear. Has small rust areas as seen in the photos, but a FANTASTIC barn find.”
No pics provided. Pics will require unpacking the jeep from the garage, but, to be fair, I am not sure how a person is supposed to evaluate it without being able to see it?
“Hi, inherited my father’s 1963 CJ3B High Hood Jeep.
It has an honest 70XXX miles on it.
Dad never washed it after taking elk hunting for several years and it was badly rusted.
I got a new body – stamped from the original dies, I think it was made in the Philippines.
I had it professionally mounted and painted in the original baby blue. The shop that did to work did an excellent job of transferring every single little piece over. If you did not know, It looks absolutely original.
I started to fix it up and life changed. It continues to change and I think the smart move is to let it go.
A vehicle is a tough thing to hang onto for sentimental reasons.
It has not been started since about 2004. It’s sitting on flat tires, the seats are totally shot. The top is old but in very good shape.
It is sort of buried in the garage, except I never ever set stuff on it – or even leaned anything against the new ( now well cured from 2004 ish) paint.
If your a serious possible buyer, please let me know. I can help you get it out if we go forward.
Because of how it is in the garage, it would be nearly impossible to get pictures. Don’t ask.
Just reply if you’re seriously interested. Low ball bullshit will be ignored”
(06/23/2020) Here’s a rare pairing. Somewhere I had an advertisement for Willys marine engines in a Florida newspaper from 1946, but I can’t find that ad at the moment.
“This unit has been in storage for a long time. The pistons are not stuck. Carburetor needs to be freed up and cleaned out. MB 564093 Marine Power Unit. 134 c.i.d.. This is a non running military engine that has been in storage. I see no cracks or breaks in the castings. I separated the engine and gear box so they could be mounted on my engine stands. After removing the oil pan and cylinder head and checking it out, I loosely assembled it just to keep things all together. The generator is a 6 volt, 40 amp. and the starter motor & bendix look good.
The “marine drive” gear box that was mounted on the engine has a multiple disc wet clutch with “knuckle in” engagement and by moving the lever in the other direction knuckles the clutch out, goes into neutral and will begin to apply a band brake as lever movement continues. Box is full of oil and looks good. The universal coupling behind the box is very heavy duty. The engine flywheel is drilled and tapped for a vehicle clutch assembly, but is still yet a clutch virgin. Starter gear shows very, very little wear. I will be happy to open things back up (engine and gear box) with a interested person present.”
This three-part article appeared in the August 1959 issue of Car Life magazine. The first two-page article is a general look at both vehicles. Then, there’s a long review of the Willys Wagon followed by a long review of the Land Rover. I got the sense that the reviewer Mr. Jim Whipple was more impressed with the Land Rover than the wagon. You be the judge….
