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 .
It’s a pretty cool rig that has been with him since he was 12, so its been through some adventures with him and his family along the way which is really cool. The modifications make sense for a trail rig that they used to explore all over the CA Sierras and then moved to Nevada. The rig will need some work, brakes and rough idle.
Information from seller:
This “sporterized” GPW has been in my family for 60 years. I learned how to drive this jeep when I was 12 years old in 1968 and drove it when I was in high school. We used it for hunting in the Sierras and my father kept it until 2010 when he could no longer drive. I’ve had it since, first in California and now in Nevada. I’m now too old to work on it, so it’s time to let another MB/GPW enthusiast take it!
Here are the modifications:
Engine: 1973 Ford Pinto 2.0 liter 4-cylinder
Electrical: 12V conversion throughout, tachometer, new battery and starter solenoid
Drive train: T90 with Warn overdrive, Cutlas Power Lock Hubs in front (turn rotating screws with screwdriver to engage FWD), 4:11 gears in rear differential
Fuel: Electric fuel pump, 20-gallon custom gas tank under rear seat, original fuel tank was removed due to corrosion. Valve in place for switching between front and rear tanks.
Brakes: Wheel cylinders and lines have been rebuilt; Tow bar has mechanically activated brake cylinder to add jeep braking along with tow vehicle.
Tires: BF Goodrich LT 235/75R15 tires and spare are like new
Accessories: Warn winch, Sun tarp and full soft top with frame, motorized windshield wipers, AM radio, Ash tray, Gun rack, Roll bar, Seat belts
Known issues: Master cylinder needs rebuild; brakes work but need fluid top-off every year. Carburetor needs rebuild – rough idle.

It’s complete has the front grill inside the vehicle and the engine has the head tooken off inside the vehicle as well clean title all glass Is in good shape floors are in good shape no rust holes added a last picture to see how cool they can look located in Dallas close to Salem it’s still on my trailer so I can deliver if needed
Another one that would be a good fit for the building lots of access to work on systems. Body is noted as rough. And another note for the book, if you have never bought a brand new set of tires for a Willys project that has never seen the street, are you really a Willys person. I think my one set that are just complete trash with zero miles are 21 years old.
Information from seller:
Frame with rebuilt motor and transmission. Comes with body and majority of parts to be complete. Body in rough shape but buildable. New brakes, clutch, and much more. Brand new Koker 3” Firestone whitewalls ($1200). Ask for any more photos and details. Firm at $2,500. Has title

Nate scored another Willys Light, he sure has a knack for these.
Details from Nate:
I just wanted to share my latest finds. I picked up another WIllys sleeve valve light plant, I also came with a glass battery, a watch fob, some literature, a sign that was used a roof shingle and a cutaway salesman model that shows how the sleeve valves work. I will be making a video on all this stuff when I get the engine running.
I don’t know why Willys were always anemic on the power plants, I have a ’48 Truck and was leaving a show following an all stock ’48 Chevy Truck and it smoked me big time, it was probably 3x faster, albeit 2WD six cylinder vs full time hubs with a L134. It is what it is when you are all in with a Willys you deal with it for sure, still a fun truck to drive, but super limited in scope and ability off the Farm so to say.
Maybe they were worried about the additional power on the driveline? I get it they used what they had at the time, but they never gave up and went to a decent V6 when available either for a long time.
