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 .
This is a column shift that appears solid.

“1948 Willis Overland Express 4wd. Ford 289 engine, stock manual 3 speed and transfer case. Full service on everything. New brakes, lead springs, shocks, tires, axles seals, heater, battery, side window glass, rear door seals. The lettering on the side is stickers and can be removed. There’s more I’m forgetting. Runs great/strong”
Tom shared this 2A, which is listed as a 1946, but the bow holder on the passenger side suggests it is a 1948 Lefty.

“1946 Willys CJ2A with top and doors. No engine, no transmission, no title. Body is in pretty good shape. Frame is excellent. Would be a good candidate for a body/frame replacement for your rusted out jeep.”
Andy shared this FC-170 with a dump framework.

“1951 Willy’s M38 Army Jeep. No major rust. PO began dissasembly and that is how it still sits. Many of the parts are in the totes you see in the photographs. The short block turns free and is out of the Jeep. Please see photos for condition. Located in Syracuse UT.”
The body is a CJ-2A, so unclear if this is a ’49 3A chassis.

“This is a ford jeep. Engine starts runs.”
No updates today …. Sunday evening we were watching some TV when our sewer alarm sounded from our crawl space … oh joy of joys! After some investigation, I figured out that it wasn’t the sewer that was the problem, but rather the alarm box was being triggered due to excessive moisture from a pipe that was leaking.
Lovely …. cue the water-shut-off-dry-camping-at-home protocol, something we just did last month when the well shut down during the cold spell. Rather than tackle the issue Sunday night, I decided to run the shop van overnight in the crawl space to evaporate some water and address the problem on Monday.
Sunday night I didn’t sleep well, so when I got up early Monday morning, I made some coffee and sat on my Mother-in-laws white couch, which she babied to the point that almost no one could sit on it while she is alive . Now that she has passed, we own the couch and we often drink coffee and do puzzles on our phones while sitting on it in the morning. Unfortunately, Monday morning’s coffee ritual was overturned when my phone cord caught my coffee cup, tipping the cup and splashing a full cup of coffee all over the couch. UGH! Great start to the day!
After a morning of arduous cleaning, I tackled the leak. I will wind up this story, as I am falling asleep writing it! I was able to get the copper pipe removed, replacing it with pex. The pex should be better able to handle our softened water and, now on our third leak in a year’s-time, we think this 20+ year old copper may need to be fully replaced, certainly the hot water recycler will need it, as we have had two leaks on that line.
Once I got that leak fixed, I turned on the water and, success, no leak from that pipe.
However, as I was packing up my tools, Ann discovered that the laundry hookups valve was leaking (a single valve closes both the hot and the cold), dripping water within the wall. Fortunately, because I had removed the drywall, we could see the leak real-time. Hopefully, I can get that fixed tomorrow!
And that is my sad tale of woe from the last few days!
So, no Tuesday updates. Not sure if there will be any Wednesday or not.
