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 .
Using the fording kit, a jeep could operate for more than 15 minutes while under a foot or more of water. It was published in the January 1947 issue of Popular Mechanics.
This December 1943 article from Popular Mechanics highlighted an early attempt at a water proof jeep. In this case it was accompanied by a waterproof trailer.
1. Looks like these Allstate hubs are in reasonable condition.
“Sears Locking hubs for most early jeeps. Show normal ware but work great. Includes bolts. Removed from 1953 CJ3A.”
2. These “heavy duty” Selectro units, which came out in the early 70s, could use some cleaning on the outside.

“If anyone needs something hauled like parts and/or vehicles let me know. I’ll be going to northern Indiana and Grand Rapids , MI. I’ll be in MN, WI, IA, IL, IN and MI and NW Ohio” (nscustoms@hotmail.com)
Based on the above info, I drew up a map of his route. I might not have it quite right….
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

This sits on a CJ-7 frame. Looks like they did a good job adapting the body to the frame.
“1947 Willy Jeep on CJ 7 frame. Has a V-6 engine that runs great with a dual exhaust. Built for rock climbing Has special transmission for climbing. Has 35 inch Mickey Thompson Tires. Road ready and road worthy–legal for off road or highway. This jeep made the front page of Rock Climbing magazine volume 47. Well built rig. Will go through anything. Much better than a side by side. May be seen at Gary’s Collision in Escanaba, MI.”
Lots of interesting mods to the jeep. Is that paint or a wrap?
“This 1952 Willys has had several modifications, namely a reconfigured floor pan and cowl to accommodate the late-model Ford 302 small block V-8 and C-4 automatic transmission. Other modifications include power rack and pinion steering, power front disc brakes and chassis upgrades to accommodate the 33 inch Goodyear Wrangler tires on custom alloy rims. The engine is dressed with Ford Racing Billet accessories, MSD ignition, 4 barrel carburetor and ceramic coated headers and dual exhausts with chrome side pipes
Interior upgrade features include Mastercraft shock absorbing ride seats, B & M automatic on the floor shifter, Roll bar, tilt steering column and a full set of gauges.”
