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 .
The next step in the process is to go back through all my posts and reorganize them into new sections, so changes will be ongoing …

A reader asked about the original size of CJ-2A hood blocks. A quick search revealed this was a forum topic on the CJ-2A Page. Please visit the forum to learn more. I tried to create a quick link to the picture in the forum, but the forum won’t let me, so here’s a copy of the drawing submitted and a great pic of a 1945 CJ-2A which shows the blocks really well. There’s also a CAD drawing that you can find in the forum as well that should help with the blocks.
The photo was posted to the CJ-2A page forum by the forum moderator Sean and the drawing was done by Joe DeYoung.
And here’s the pic and caption of the ’45 willys submitted to the CJ-2A forum by the forum moderator Sean [This is a 1945 photo of a new 1945 CJ2A (photo courtesy Bill Oakes)]:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
It’s a bit pricey for a project, but it does have one of those rare back extenders on it.
“This is a project vehicle I’m not able to finish. Civilian model, All parts included; Pickup bed, trailor hitch, 1/2 metal cab w/ doors, all glass. Asking $3,500 please call with any questions”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400.
It’s a bit rough. I can’t tell if there’s just some surface rust or if it is worse than that.

The console looks a little unusual. I’d like a closer look to see what they have done. It appears to go underneath the seats.

It appears the tailgate has been eliminated. Apparently, this sports an Olds V-6. I haven’t seen a buick v6 with the alternator swapped to the driver’s side, though I suppose it is possible.
“All steel body, Olds V6. All stock running gear. New battery, rebuild carb ( 08-09) P/S. Manual brakes. Runs fine. Full roll cage. Old AM/FM/cassete and CB. (speakers are in a box, not installed.) Warn winch (not in photos) now mounted. Doors included. New spare. 408-988-0668”
This looks like a very good deal on a vintage looking IH.
“1969 IH Travelall 1100 (1/2 ton 2×4). Runs, drives, registered. AC, PS, 392 V8, 4 spd, and limited-slip type differential. Straight and solid. No door mirrors. Will consider parting-out. Trades considered ( willys mb cj jeep ford gpw dodge wc m37 kaiser m715 international scout vw beetle thing buick riviera honda yamaha suzuki kawasaki street bike ). Email or call Drew at 601.2468. Please make certain to reference the truck so that I can discern legitimate email from spam.”
UPDATE: There was some interest in the Capstan winch from David’ part’s jeep that I featured the other day. Here’s some additional views of it.
You can still find parts for Capstan winches here, though they are out of the Capstan kits (which cost $2,650). Brian also runs a ‘Capstan’s for sale’ page, but appears all sold out at the moment. And here’s a little nautical history of the Capstan winch from wikipedia. And here’s some info from the CJ-3B page on the Ramsey Capstan Winch, including some pics of the brochure.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500
This appears to have been carefully rebuilt. Looks good.
“Rebuilt power train (134 engine, 3spd transmission, transfer case, differentials) and suspension, tilt steering wheel, roll bar, custom bumpers, digital gauges, more pictures available”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800
“New Motor,”
