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 .
There could be some value here.

“Kermath transmission in a boat motor setup using a Willys WW2 engine”
This one has some 1970s era paint styling, so I thought was worth posting despite the fact that this sold quickly for $8500.
“Customized Jeep CJ-5, older renovation but still in good shape. Has dauntless odd fire engine with 3-speed manual with overdrive. I have not owned long and don’t know a lot about it but enjoy cruising around. Put a timing chain in it and new plugs when I bought it. Believe Radio works but no speakers, wiper motor needs replaced and steering is a bit loose, soft top in great shape with removable doors.”
TJ spotted this CJ-5 with a Sears Deluxe hardtop and Warn winch that’s part of an estate sale.

“Was going to use body for my own restoration but now looking at something different. Body is mostly good but will need new floor pan. -does not include windshield frame -does not include tire carrier or roll bar -drivetrain has a rear axle (original I believe) front axle with transfer case & T-90 transmission mated to a 4.2 liter V-6. -no steering column but there is a power steering pump attached -tires are flat & vehicle will need to be put on a trailer”
This has multiple mods.

This does look to have a replacement body, so it might be in good shape.

“New tub. not running. No paperwork as it was used on a private ranch only”
Life’s been busy this last week. I’ll update as soon as I can!
Improving the steering was one project I addressed this week. First, I worked through both Heim joints and the quick-steer, cleaning and lubing as much as I could. Then, thanks to Rob Stafford’s suggestion, I modified the power steering pump, first by drilling a slightly larger hole through the servo valve, then I lengthened the spring that controls the actuation rate. I felt this was the least invasive of the modification options.
Here is one of the links I relied upon: https://www.pirate4x4.com/threads/modifiying-saginaw-power-steering-pump-revive.2712489/. I would call the improvement drastic, but it does seem to have improved the steering. I figured making this change was easier and made more sense than trying to remove the quicksteer, which will be a bigger project.
I also spend some time looking at the rear axle, as I thought it had shifted. After making additional measurements, I concluded that my initial estimations were wrong. The axle hadn’t moved; when at the race, I’d mis-measured. Anyway, I was happy to make a dumb mistake, as it meant I didn’t have to address the issue.
