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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This has an unusual roof/roll bar. It appears there’s some rust near the driver’s side drain hole. Otherwise, it looks pretty solid.
“All original parts. Runs great. New tires. 8,000 LB Warn wench. Great vehicle for hunting and the outdoors!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Josh is auctioning this nicely restored Capstan Winch on eBay.
He writes, “You are bidding on a WW2 BRADEN J2-134 CAPSTAN WINCH for the WW2 Ford GPW, GPA, Willys MB and Weasel. This auction is for the head unit as pictured and the Portrayal Press Capstan Winch manual. The winch is the correct war period model with the four cap screws in the head. The winch has been been sandblasted, cleaned, and painted with TM9 Ordnance Red oxide epoxy primer and TM9 lusterless Olive Drab shade #6. In the preservation of this winch I did create a custom gasket for the oil sump and will include the broken original with the sale. I also fabricated a new top cover and will also include the damage original. As you can see in the pictures the gears all look fantastic and the winch turns easily and smoothly as it should. All oil pan bolts are marked RA. The only negative things I can say about the winch are that the oil pan has a couple of dents (they could be worked out) and the area around the bottom drain plug has been brazed at one time. The drain plug does still function and the repair doesn’t appear to leak. Both of these imperfections will not easily be visible when mounted.”
UPDATE: Still Available

“Beautifully restored 1948 CJ3A Willys Jeep. This Jeep has been restored to near original condition including rebuilt L 134 flathead engine, upgraded wiring, paint, and undercoating. It is spotless throughout and runs and drives nicely. It has been garaged since its restoration three years ago. If you are looking for a classic, ready to drive (needs a top), totally restored Jeep, this one is worth your attention. ”
Long time readers know that ever since seeing the movie Tucker: The Man and His Dream I’ve been a fan of the Tucker automobile. What I didn’t know was that in early January of 2010 a Tucker Convertible was finally completed after years of sitting as a pile of parts. It turns out there was plenty of controversy surrounding this convertible, specifically was it really a Tucker or simply a Tucker look-a-like built from left over parts. You can read some history of the Tucker and the Convertible here.
Well, after much discussion, enough information has been unearthed to assure most people (can’t make everyone happy) that Tucker had been working on a convertible when the company was forced into bankruptcy and was labeled Tucker #57. Though it took multiple people and 60 years, Benchmark Classics, near Madison, Wi (a place I used to call home) finally has put this beauty together (restoration images).
Here are an image and a video:

Looks good. This was listed for $3000 in January, so I’m wondering if it was bought and is now being resold.

I think DUSTY describes this accurately. It looks pretty solid underneath the rust.
