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 .
Craig shared this running/driving CJ-5.
“Jeep runs, and drives. 4cyl “f head” engine. 3 speed manual trans. Twin stick transfer case. 4×4 works great. NO TITLE. Would make someone a fun toy, or farm jeep. Brakes do not work, but who needs em with this low gearing. Needs a front leaf spring, ($60) online. Would be interested in trades of same or more value aswell.”

Needs some work.
“1958 jeep fc150- minimal rust in battery compartment. Has a running Buick v6 in it, needs breaks and tires are older and should be replaced, also seats need attention.
What i want is a 2wd rod ranging from the 20’s threw 30’s. I’m a fan of 30-31 model a coupes and trucks. but open to many other makes and body’s. I’ll trade for almost any range of project or amout of parts. But it must be a fair trade and I am well versed in the value of these years. Give me a text the worst i can say is no”
Josh is selling a freshly rebuilt ’76 Buick 231 Oddfire (still wrapped in plastic) with new heads. He can get photos for interested buyers. Contact him at joshjchase@yahoo.com or 3078990027
I wasn’t aware that Oddfire 231’s existed, but based on what I’ve read, the 231 was a reworking of the 225 with Buick 350 V-8 parts, resulting in the 231’s large displacement. In 1977, Buick introduced the first even fire 231.
No title. Has a Meyer half cab.

“1952 willys m38 original army jeep.
Its all original and was told was running a few years back. Motor is not locked up. I have not done anything to it or tried to get it running but shouldn’t be hard to get going. I have a clear title and some paperwork showing the model. It still has its last service number painted on the hood along with all the data plates on the dash.”

older photo before paint:
During my brief visit to Seattle the weather was most uncooperative. Today it was rain and hail, intermixed with sun. Two days earlier it was thunder, lightening, and downpours. So, I wasn’t as productive as I would have liked. Still, I managed to clean some more parts, order some parts, and work on the gas tank.
Not surprisingly, there seems to be no aftermarket replacement tank for the DJ-3A. I’m pretty sure a DJ-5 or rear CJ-5 tank would fit just fine, but I didn’t have one readily available and, besides, I was trying to stay with the DJ-3A tank. After some searching, I found one with all the parts, but it was a bit dented.
This tank took a pretty good hit.
Today I decided to get the dents out. With nothing to lose, I started by drilling an access hole in the good side so I could pound out the worst side.
My tool of choice was a 20 pound pry bar that had a round surface at the top. So, I inserted the bar upside down into the newly drilled hold and began working out the dents. It worked surprisingly well.
I also had a small sledge and a smaller bar with a rounded end that helped remove some dents. Continue reading
