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 .
“The Empire tractor consisted of military power components from World War II-era jeeps. It had a 4-cylinder, 40 hp Willys-Overland engine, a Model T-84 Spicer 3-speed transmission, Spicer transfer case with high and low speeds, Willys rear end, steering column and gearbox. It also had PTO, individual clutch-type rear brakes with a stop provided for parking and a rear belt pulley. The fuel tank and an Empire-style seat were mounted on a large operator’s platform (made from Navy ship decking). Its simple, basic gauges (ammeter, oil pressure and temperature), ignition switch and starter button also came from the jeep. The Empire tractor was originally made for exportation in the Lend-Lease Program after World War II.”
“I never got stuck….. This baby has the famous 4 wheel drive that was used in WW2….including High and Low Range. The Jeep is updated to a “Dauntless V6” engine that was totally rebuilt and has less than 20 hours….it purrs. I also just replaced the transmission and it syncs up beautifully…. Seats are in great shape and your wife will love them. This is just the vehicle you need in the woods or to just bum around town. Yes it is “street legal.” Only reason I am selling is that my wife has arthritis and has a difficult time getting in….she wants one of those low slung UTVs. I have more than $7000 in the baby….but she has to go. ”
“Here is a heavily modified old willys. Just about everything on it has been upgraded. Obviouslt the whole rear has been replaced with a tubular cage. I made it to offer great rollover strength but still mimic the classic body lines of the original willys, hence the curved door openings and the opening to fit the original willys tailgate.. The suspension uses Wider YJ leaf springs all around. reverse shackles up front and a 3/4 elliptical system in the rear, which allows for major flex. The old screw type steering was replaced with a heavy duty Saginaw box and beefed up custom linkage all over. All 4 wheels have been converted to disc brakes with stainless lines. the drivetrain however I kept stock, first, because of the nostalgia factor of keeping it willys, Second, because it has proven itself. Back when this was a normal jeep I could plow tons of snow and not slow it down at all or drive down the freeway at a fair speed. I have not started he engine in a few years but I’m sure it will crank over.
As I said, this is a project so it needs finished. Off the top of my head, it needs driveshafts put in, sheetmetal installed as the floor and sides (optional) brake lines run, pedals installed, amongst a few other things.
I am losing out big time asking what I am for it, but we all know you never get what you put into them. I just need to clear out some projects. You can call or text me at 4 four O-31 nine- O 47 O”
This doesn’t run at the moment, but looks like it might make an interesting restoration project.
“1962 Willys Jeep for sale for parts or Bonded title. This is an extremely rare Hard top Jeep. The front bumper has a tow bar, fog lights and winch (unknown condition) and ammo cans mounted on it. The rear Bumper has Fuel cans and lay down equipment/luggage rack on it. The Jeep body is in excellent condition with no visible rust. The Hard top is in good condition. The doors for hard top have rust holes but can be repaired. Seats need to be replaced. The engine turns over by hand but I don’t know if it runs because the keys where lost (the person I got the jeep from claims it ran good about a year ago??). I have several Jeeps and only selling this one because I just started a new Business and need the money to get it going. $2500.00”

(02/02/2012) It sounds like there are all kinds of parts.
“Recently acquired a semi trailer full of used and NOS jeep parts from a closed down ‘chuck lewis motors’ jeep dealership/mechanics shop. I have been told this dealership closed down in the 90’s and all the parts were consolidated into two semi trailers…of which then was consolidated into this one trailer. I was in college at the time I started working on the partial/crude inventory list but I think it gives a good idea of what is in there. I would guess the inventory list (over 2000 parts) is a mere 50% of the actual entire inventory. At first I planned on selling each part…but as you can see with over 2000 parts already on the inventory list…this would be a full time job. I am looking to sell the entire inventory. This find is in fact a gold mine of NOS willy’s and older jeep parts (pre 80’s) there is also a large collection of used hard to find body parts, engines, axles, drivelines, drivetrain parts. I am available to discuss any and all details with those of you whom are interested in making an offer and whom would like to meet and see the parts. The trailer is located in Laramie, Wyoming at AAA Recycling and Salvage. Keep in mind, I am very aware of the high value of these parts and of the risk the buyer is taking….I would like to see these parts get to someone who will keep them in circulation instead of being crushed as scrap. Experts who have looked at the inventory have estimated over $80,000 in retail from these hard to find items. I am also open to a partial purchase of any combination of items. I do not have the time to sell these one by one, my loss is your gain, $18000 or best offer takes this inventory. More pictures available upon request.”
“i guess this would be for parts…..but who knows….ok it rolls,the engine is complete…head is off……marvel mystery oil in cylindres, the trans is complete…cover is off…gears SEEM ok…….i have no idea concerning brakes or whats un der neath…..the body is rusted… but some ole duffer said its restorable..i do not concur w/him
price is firm …would trade for a decent 4 wheeler chip”
UPDATE: Was listed at $3950. It appears this sold.
(05/26/2013) This sounds like a partly disassembled project.
“1957 Willy’s FC150. FC stands for forward control. Runs and drives. Have began a slow restoration, however just don’t have the time/money/space to continue. Have all the parts, plus an extra cab (1964) with just about an extra full set of all cab parts. New springs, master cylinder, carb rebuilt. Original 134 cubic inch hurricane F head 4 cylinder motor with T90 3 speed transmission. Not many of these were made, not many left. $3950 obo or may consider a V-twin bobber or maybe dirt bikes/4-wheelers for trade.”
