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 .
“What you see is what you get an extremely rare military jeep in great restorable condition. I purchased last year with the intention to restore it but an injury forced sale. I’ve never seen one before, you never will again either. It’s def one of the last and one of the few remaining, and probably the best overall condition wise. At some point it was switched to s a small block Chevy, otherwise appears all original. Non running no title Bill of sale only”
Paul Barry of Willys America shared these photos he took from the 2017 Portland Swap Meet at the Portland Expo Center. The black truck is priced at $12,000. The red wagon has no engine. The other two trucks are rough.
On page 41 of the April 1945 issue of Popular Mechanics is this photo and caption. Curiously, it doesn’t appear the jeep has lights; it looks more like the jeep was partly illustrated.
Paul Ferrari is the new head of the East Coast Willys Association. He wanted to give an updated on the organization:
What is the ECWA? It’s been, and we hope to keep it up as a group of people with a passion for the Willys Jeep. An unofficial club, with a forum and Facebook presence, where people can share Willys and Jeep info, stories and projects etc. The only rules are to have fun with your Jeep, help each other out, and treat each other with respect. We are hoping members will generate events like Jeep runs, tech days etc.
This set of used Kelly Hubs appears in good shape. They were manufactured at the Kelly plant in Charleston, West Virginia, probably around the late 1950s or early 1960s. A descendent of the Kelly founder who worked at the plant indicated they were also made there. I believe they were invented by D.L. Beck, who filed a patent very similar to these in 1957. Beck happens to be the same man who founded the D.L. Beck Manufacturing Company in Middleport, Ohio, which made Beck hard tops in the late 40s/early 50s, a company later bought by Hubert Kelly and rebranded Kelly Mfg. They are a 10-spline hub.
“Good Used Set of Kelly Mfg Self-Lock Hubs. Removed from 1948 Dana 25 front axle. Will fit Jeep Willys Spicer Dana Model 25 27 Front Axle with 10 spline ends. Cleaned to check for cracks and breaks. Both hubs work well. May want to disassemble and regrease”
Dean Dujmovic contacted me about this jeep. It is located in Croatia presently. Seller can be reached at his US office phone (347) 242 2600 or on his mobile phone (917) 330 5522. Jeep is located in Rijeka, Croatia, European Union, his birth town. He is a US Citizen living in NYC where he owns and operates a Freight Forwarding Company specialized in transport of vehicles between USA and Europe. He can bring this car in US in 35 days, if there is a qualified buyer. There are several things that keep this from being all original (the rims and all the 12 volt equipment).
“Engine, transmission, clutch, differential, starter 12V, dynamo 12V, regulator 12V (it was communication vehicle and came originally with 12 V installation), brakes, fuel pump, water pump, all rebuilt and fully restored or replaced with new original or NOS parts. Re-wired. Has been driven only 700 Km from then. Body completely redone, floor panels changed (welded the way original floor was welded onto frame), fully sand blasted, primed and then completely painted. Not a single spot with rust!
“Willys m38 I bought as a package deal and don’t need another jeep project has a motor and trans/transfer case probably should all be rebuilt from sitting for so long missing windsheild tail gate and one stearing link but might have one for it soon still has all of the 24 volt electrical system calls”
