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 .
Still needs some work, but runs and drives.

Looks like there’s value here.
“Time to get your restoration going, just in time for fall. I have decided to move on from this hobby and am selling all. I have two CJ3B’s in Portsmouth, the third is in Washington NH with the Car Trailer.
In Portsmouth:
1953 CJ3B Green with Cap and Plow- The motor was seized so has been sitting with Marvel Mystery Oil to free it up. This could be a great plow truck or candidate for restoration has a rare middle seat addition.
1963 CJ3B Red Mahindra Jeep. I had this running off a small fuel can, but the starter seized up so currently is not running. Someone before me spent a lot of time with the Body Filler. This would be a good restoration base or with a little work on the road now.
In Washington:
1955 Willy’s CJ3B this was a restoration project that started with a motor swap. A running motor was swapped in and the project stalled. Has now been sitting for ten years, Could be restored with the right hands.
Single place car trailer with brakes. The right front hub was seized up and it will need some tires. Has been sitting for a year with no use in five before that.
I also have some new parts: Tune up kit, Fuel lines, Hood Welting, Hood Blocks
I have two or three bins of other parts from various restoration projects. Some of these parts are in my garage in Greenland.”

“first, I was going to put this engine into my C-J-2 willys jeep I was restoring, then I thought I’d have to make a hole on top of the hood for the carburetor because it was to high. I found a 4-134-L flat head that was as good as this one, so I bought it and that’s what I finely put in. this motor runs very good, I have it on a stand if you want to hear it come and look. I do not take e-mail’s or text just call my phone”
UPDATE: Sold out of NJ for $9500.
It doesn’t run.

(11/12/2016) Craig spotted this one. Could have some parts value.
“Willys pick up good parts truck $400 firm has big back window not sure of year”
On the Ann front:
She hasn’t gotten any better, but hasn’t gotten any worse. She still spends most of the day in bed. We believe that there’s a problem related to neck muscles, nerves, and upper vertebrae. Their interrelationship seems to be causing both the nausea and the pain in her head. She’s had several physical therapy appointments that have helped isolate the area that seems the root of the issue, but it could take quite a bit of therapy to loosen that area.
On the Rusty front:
A couple days ago I bought an NOS 0-9 1956-1957 speedometer face and engine on eBay. If for some reason I can’t get my speedometer fixed, I will go with this. And, if I do get it fixed, then I am sure I can easily sell this. You can see these are pretty close in style, even using the same pointer (which I wasn’t sure how I was going to find it).
0-9 that I just bought:
0-8 that I have:
While in Seattle the past few days I ran across a fantastic deal on a welder and blasting cabinet. I jumped on them and got both setup. The cabinet (a nothing-fancy Harbor Freight model) should work fine for cleaning parts.
Based on the reviews I found, this Clarke 130EN Mig welder should be good for repairs on the body. Apparently, anything thicker than a 1/4″ is too much for it, but I have an old-fashioned stick welder to tackle those issues. It came with everything you see, including a full bottle of Argon, an extra reel, two masks, cart, and other items.
On the Biscuit front:
I found this chevy scatter shield in Pasco a couple weeks ago. I took it with me to Seattle. It was by far the best price I’ve seen on one, primarily due to the holes in it. It was used by an old sand jeep dragger.
While I was in Seattle, I formed a cover plate for the hole that spans the bottom and bolts in place (plate not shown). I plan on patching the side with some 1/4″ steel. I’ve been waiting for quite some time to get a scatter shield. Now I can begin to reassemble it (with a few mods).
Not all the doctor appointments are without value to eWillys. We recently went downtown for an ultrasound on Ann’s heart. While walking down a hall, I spotted this parade photo, taken in downtown Pasco, Washington. I’m guessing it was taken during the early 1940s, because it features a bunch of Slat Grille MBs.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $13,500.
Looks nice.
“This 1949 Willis Overland Jeepster is the perfect driver with just enough work needed to make it your own. It has: professionally rebuilt original 4 cyl. flathead, rebuilt original 6 volt generator and starter, all new brake drums, wheels, cylinders and master cylinder. Original style wiring harness, runs great and looks good. Newer paint has some chips Top and top frame are installed but needs to be stapled to the oak base member. I just leave it down, fair weather car with no side curtains. The car has only about 150 miles since body on restoration and engine build.”
