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 .
“Frame, axles, wheels, firewall, and cargo area. Rear section metal is solid, firewall is good. Whats seen in the pictures is what’s included. Could be a good start of a project for someone”
“1950 Willys Jeepster, Limited Production over model years 1948-1950. This is the original and rare Flathead Six-Cylinder Model with a 3-speed column shift transmission with Overdrive. I am the third owner, the second owner from SF had it for 50 years. Always CA. Registered. Car was restored in Modesto in 1993 and again in 2005 with receipts for all work. Less than 1,000 miles since restoration in 1993 (sorry, but true). Includes 6 Volt Battery Tender, premium car cover, side curtains and top in very good condition, CA Registration valid thru May 2020. Clear Title in my name. Electric Fuel Pump, Remote Oil Filter (original cannister type included), Directional Signals (not offered with the car when new, added later). Deficiencies: charging system erratic, Speedometer not working (recent). Believe never in an accident, body panels original, one small patch in Front Passenger footwell. Repainted in 1993, it would benefit from wet sanding and machine polish.”
(06/11/2019) Jordan also spotted this trailer. Looks like a good price.
“Early 50s Dunbar kapple M100 military trailer. No title, will write a bill of sale if you want. Pulled behind the m38 and m38a1 jeeps during Korean and Vietnam wars. Still has all 3 of its data plates intact. Pretty solid old trailer”
This Brazilian tutorial about the Willys Rural Wagon and Truck was spotted by Carl. Portuguese speakers might find it interesting.
I hadn’t noticed it before, but some of the Rural wagons and Jeepsters have a “Parkette”-looking fiberglass stripe along the sides. Maybe that’s where Paul Parker got the idea?
This news clipping from the December 30, 1942, issue of Yank: The Army Weekly shares the story of a Bantam (no 1687) that was pieced together by the Ordinance Depot.
Rich is hoping to find a set of vintage Gates Commando Tires. He’s open to different 15″ sizes from G70 to 10-15 or whatever someone might have. You can email him at squareweave @ shaw.ca if you have something.
Here’s a photo of what the XTs look like:
Mickey Thompson has reproduced a set of 27″ Gates for the dune buggy folks, but I’ve not had much luck finding any other vintage Gates-like tires.
