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 .
“Very solid rig looks to be a 70’s-80’s resto.
Odd fire 231 V6 headers and ignition upgrade to HEI
Other than the motor its the stock running gear.
Turns lots of heads and is a joy to drive or 4×4… makes my 4runner seem like its 2 wheel drive.
It could definitely use the steering upgrade.”
Craig shared this one. Hard to see how much value (or not) is here.
“I’m gauging interest in my homemade mini skidder. It’s a 1950ish Willys frame and drivetrain with a bulldozer cage and fairlead. It was running a year ago when I parked it to clean the carb. I need to get the carb hooked back up and get a battery on it to get it moving.
It’s a mile in the woods currently so I’ll be putting list of interested people together for viewing later in the summer.
It doesn’t have brakes. The clutch isn’t much and the starter skips once in a while. But the flathead ran smooth with minimal smoke, the 4×4 worked, and it steers.
I bought a crawler and an old farm tractor and I need to thin the herd.”
“1946 Willys Jeep with clean, clear Washington Title. This is an original steel tub that is in so-so condition. Comes with grill and windshield frame and everything else shown in the picture.
It is sitting on a early Ford Bronco Chassis. Come with Ford 9 inch differentials front and rear as well as the Bronco 3 speed transmission and Dana 18 Transfer Case. It has a small block Ford in it now. I know nothing about the condition of this engine. Consider it a core. It has aluminum intake, headers, Accel Distributor etc. It also has a C4 transmission behind it.”
“1946? Willis home made half cab with Kelly doors, bed from 1/4 ton trailer, we call it “frankenwilly” flathead engine has decent compression, converted to 12 volt, new alternator,carb,starter, new wheel cylinders and master cyl. Frame repaired and sags, very ratty, very neat lots of good parts no title. We used it on the farm til this summer ”
Thanks for all the kind thoughts! I didn’t make it out to the garage yesterday, but I felt good enough to do eWillys. As least the wild swings between fever and chills have subsided. I expect to be back in the garage today after running a few errands.
Jim shared these. Based on the front bumpers, I’d say 2 of these are 3As and 1 a 2A.
“3 Willys jeeps , 2 for parts and one is in good condition, both green jeeps are 1947 red Jeep 1948 one green Jeep Was running when put under the building needs a new battery has been kept covered have title In Hand. other two jeeps for parts.”
UPDATE: listed as a’42, it looks more like an M-38.
“1942 Willys MB Jeep 4 x 4. Serial # 2T18124. Mileage reads 28,733. Powered by a 4 cylinder Willys Go Devil gas engine. 3 speed manual transmission with 2 speed transfer case and locking hubs. Brakes have been upgraded to 11 inch drums. This jeep has a Braden power take off winch, these winches run off the engine power and don’t kill your battery. This Jeep starts easily and runs very well, the transmission and 4 wheel drive are smooth, quiet and work as they should.This Jeep has a 1951 M38 body tub. The Jeep comes with a full top, doors, bikini top, spare parts, towing lights and a technical manual. Overall a nice solid, good driving old Jeep.”
