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 .
ISO 1948 Willys Truck Heater
Request came over via email looking for a 1948 Willys Truck Heater.
If you know of a good lead I can pass on the information.
Just for reference here is a video from Don on amazing work he performed on the heater in Willa Dean a 1948 4T Truck.
Period correct heaters can be adapted and there were many aftermarket heaters at the time as I feel they were not a standard offering at the time. But the Willys Overland Badged units are pretty neat.
Frontier Nursing Service
A different Tim shared this great color photo of a nice CJ-3B that was used by the Frontier Nursing Service.
The Frontier Nursing Service was founded in 1925 by Mary Breckinridge and they were pretty amazing how they served rural Kentucky communities. Horses and eventually Jeeps were used extensively to support their outreach efforts.
The background of the service can be watched here it’s really an amazing story of how people coming together can make a huge impact for so many generations of families. Talk about Horse Power!

1953 Willys Truck $850 Newport, PA
Parts rig as described, not original engine. Never heard of the 260, here is some search results on that one. So nice uptick in power from the Willys stuff, front distributor so no firewall concerns. Sounds like a good choice for a Willys. It’s going to be tight at the price point to part this out.
From Search…….
The Ford 260 V8 is a small-block engine from the Ford Windsor family, produced from 1962 to 1964 as a successor to the 221 V8. It has a \(260\text{\ cubic\ inch}\) (\(4.3\) L) displacement and a power output of around \(164\) horsepower. This engine was used in early models like the 1964 Falcon Sprint and 1964 1/2 Mustang before being replaced by the more powerful 289 V8.
