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 .
I suspect the title says ’46 because it was a surplus sale? I’m unsure why the seller is using the term “kit”.
“WW2 Jeep Ford GPW “kit”: Build a Genuine BAND of BROTHERS GPW jeep. Clear Oregon Title list’s it as ’46 Ford GPW. Kit includes tub- fenders-2 hoods-windscreen and Willies MB frame. This is the real deal and while it shows age with various drilled holes, wrinkles/dents.. it’s real solid. Minor rust! “As-is/what it is and Cash is king” I dislike phone tag- But enjoy E-mail questions.”
“Up for auction is one of the rarest of all Jeeps. The DJ-3A Dispatcher was made from 1955 to 1964. Willys marketed the Dispatcher as a “Sport” vehicle and an inexpensive commercial delivery car. They used existing tooling and in-stock CJ parts to keep the cost low. That meant that they were trying to market a car with technology fresh from 1940! Keep in mind this car was built just months before Ford introduced the Mustang. No wonder this is a rare Jeep!
The example being auctioned is a 1963. The paint is original and shows only a few scratches and a few discolored spots. There are two small rust-through spots on the rear of the body at the rear body mounting brackets. The upholstery is original and is in excellent condition. The odometer reads a very believable 27,990 miles. DJ-3As are two-wheel-drive with three speed transmissions and column shift. This car has a limited slip differential! Comfortable cruising speed is around 40 mph….”
The seller claims this is WWII paint. You be the judge. That issue aside, it looks clean and solid.
“Original flathead 4 cyl. enigine, has been rebuilt, Has Hard to find rear PTO and engine mounted governor. Has new exhaust, shocks,new lights and lenses. Has New Army paint and flat clear coat and stencil painted numbers and stars. Seat foam has been replaced and new seat covers installed. Has been converted to 12 volt for charging and better starting but uses original gauges. This Willys starts and runs great, idles smooth and very quiet. Has clear SD title. Tires are ok, but mismatched and brakes pull a little.. 4WD works good and transfer case and transmission shift fine. May be able to deliver for a fee.”
It runs. This looks more like a chariot than a jeep 🙂
“I am selling my Willys Jeep. I bought it as a rock crawling project, but I am not able to finish. It has the original F-Head engine, with oil bath air filter. It starts right up and runs great. It has a 3 speed transmission with a Warn overdrive. New parts that I installed include: coil, distributor, and plugs. I have other new parts which are included but haven’t installed: master brake cylinder, all new brake cylinders and all small parts to rebuild the brakes. Also, new choke line, plug wires, oil filter, and fan belt. I also am including a chain assisted clutch linkage from Advanced Adapters, as the old clutch linkage is worn out.
(11/17/09) Here’s a CJ-3B that looks in good shape, though the exterior has been painted with a bed liner.
“For sale is an excellent condition 1953 Cj3b. I purchased the jeep in Kalispell, Montana in 2000. Since then, it has made several moves around the country and finally wound up here in Bend, Oregon. I kept the jeep in its original terrible condition for seven long years and would receive the half-hearted thumbs-up at stoplights. Now it turns heads everywhere it goes. The jeep has a bad history of turning a 10 minute trip to the store into a two hour discussion with an oldtimer who used to farm his property with this same model. Everywhere you drive, expect to stop and talk. We have even been pulled over by the state police, not because we were speeding (that’s impossible except for in school zones) but because he was curious to find out what was under the hood; having never seen the Willy’s high-hood before….”
According to the Library of Congress, there was a serious scarcity of crude rubber, so reclaimed rubber made from scrap was required to meet demands. All Americans were encouraged to donate used or worn out rubber articles to the nation’s scrap piles.
As part of that campaign, Judy Canova, star of stage and screen, opened her personal salvage drive for scrap rubber in September 1942 by donating her personal slingshot to the drive. Behind here is an image I’ve seen before, but I’ve never seen it used as part of the ‘Save Rubber’ campaign.
While doing some other research, I found this interesting blog entry about the benefits of a Water Methanol Injection System. One of the more unique aspects of this is that the ‘fuel’ is simply de-icer purchased from Autozone. My question would be, why install a separate container; instead just tap into the existing de-icer container (of course, most jeeps don’t have these in the first place).
Mr. Greenwrench writes on his blog, “Before the Snow System I was always adding octane booster or buying 8 dollar a gallon unleaded Race fuel. Now with this system I add de-icer fluid(25%water75%methanol) I get from Auto Zone and I forget about the octane booster and race gas. The power increase you get, well that happens in a big way. How about 33 horsepower at the rear wheels with no additional tuning on the car.Just bolt the system on and go. The system goes on very easy and if you do have a problem their Tech department is superb!!”
