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 .
“Complete CJ2 jeep Needs engine rebuild. Drive train is good. If I don’t sell it as is I will be asking $6500 with a rebuilt engine. Not sure on the miles. On non opp and title in hand. floor boards are not rotted out. The engine has been sitting for years with the cylinder head off. so the cylinder bores are rusty. The pistons are most likely stuck in the bore. my asking price is firm.”
“This jeep is missing original engine but otherwise very original and complete. It has an original dated radiator, unmolested wiring. Also has front heater and very rare complete rear heater.”
This June 20, 1960, Advertising and Merchandising Bulletin included a wall poster showing new styling changes in the ‘Jeep’ vehicle line. I wish I knew which poster that was.
There is also reference to an ad in the April 25th, 1960, issue of Life Magazine. But, it wasn’t a ‘Jeep’, but rather a Goodyear tire ad that includes a jeep.
David shared this unusual hub with me. It’s not one I recognize. I *think* it is some form of a summer hub, perhaps adapted from a locking hub. Note the welds on two sides of the six-sided metal plate atop the hub.
Engine (F134), transmission (T90), transfer case (Dana 18) and axles (Dana 25 front, Dana 44 rear) were all rebuilt by the previous owner. The three point hitch is the hardest to find of all the ones used by Willys. It is a Stratton lift. All the lifting devices are under the bed which keeps the bed open. PTO is operational and comes with a 90 degree belt pulley.
There is a Novi governor on the engine and it is not hooked up. Brakes were upgraded to 10″ drums by the previous owner as well. Body has dents and dings. Only rot is in the hat channel behind the spare tire. Floors are really nice. See pictures for body damage. Has venting windshield and the glass is broken. Also has most of the original soft top bows.
Comes with original side steps and some other spare parts. Also has the regular seats if the buyer does not want the 60-40 bench seat. Lift arms are reproductions copied off originals. I have the templates and new decals along with other information that goes with the lift. Under the tub is good and the frame is not rotted or broken anywhere. There are helper coil springs in the rear. This is a very solid and original jeep. I rebuilt the lift cylinder three years ago. I have a clean title in my name. The jeep originally came from Washing state. Some of the lights do not work. Tires are old and have cracks, but they work just fine.”

“This is an original WWII Jeep that spent its life on a farm in Idaho. It has about 25,000 original miles. Was last started and run about 30 years ago and has been stored inside in a shop since now collecting dust and bird poop. Although it was a military Jeep, it was never used by the military but instead in 1944 diverted for agricultural use, where a spray rig was added as well as large headlights and a heater, otherwise it is 100% original. The original small headlights are included as are 5 original combat rims and other military parts. This is a wonderful example of a first generation military jeep worthy of a ground up restoration. Well restored military Jeeps are worth $20,000 and great fun for parades etc. This one was owned by my father and another farmer before him and has a clear title. I will deliver for a fee or you may arrange to pick it up near Raft River, Idaho. The price is $7,900 with all extra parts wheels and tires.”
