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 .
“1946 Willys, Original Drivetrain. Has arctic cab hard top, also have original windshield frame. Front axle has Dual hub extensions, which were a somewhat rare option, they can be easily unbolted. Engine spins freely, I have not had it running in my time owning it. No title. I got it from an Iron Mine in Michigan. Too many projects, clearing yard,”
“I’m moving out of state and am looking for someone that would be willing to take over my project. Read description and see the last photos!!! This 1950 Willys CJ3A has been in my possession for the past 5 years. I have bought it with intention of rebuilding it from ground up. It has been disassembled to the last bolt, frame has been blasted and painted using rust encapsulating paint. Bumpers installed. Axles, transmission, transfer case disassembled, cleaned, painted, ready to be put together. Original engine, L134, has not been touched and is not turning over even by hand. Cylinders have been soaking in WD40 for the past few years. It is all there except: fenders, one rim, seat frames, fuel tank, steering wheel. Clean title! Everything is in storage in Schiller Park and would have to be picked up from there. Let me know should you have any specific questions. I have a lot of photos from disassembly process.”
Steve shared these two videos showing swamp buggy racing from the 1950s and swamp buggy racing today. I remember seeing similar videos on the Wide World of Sports back in the late 1970s.
This first video highlights some crazy looking buggies (and no helmeted-drivers):
This video shows some vintage looking jeeps and how slow they go in the swamp (9:46 mark).
Page three of this four-page September 1955 issue includes a long article on Warn Hub servicing. Warn determined that 98% of problems folks were having with the hubs was due to users not reading the instructions properly. From our perspective, I think it shows just how new and unusual a selective hub was for consumers.
