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.
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 .
Dexter is pretty excited about this find! No bad mods, though there appear to be a few things that need to be changed to make it closer to original. He should get an excellent stock MB out of it with some time. Below are a few pics and here are many, many pics. You can see a discussion about his find at the G503 site. Congrats Dexter!
What the heck is that double shackle/extra spring addition to the left front wheel? See picture 57.
Is there a matching spring setup on the right side?
Nice Jeep, hard to believe it’s so original after all these years.
Hi Paul … it’s a torque reaction spring http://www.surplusjeep.com/MB-GPW/mb-gpw-group_16_springs-shocks.htm. My quick search didn’t say what it actually does though…
Thanks for the post, Dave.
Dave is correct, it is a torque reaction spring on the driver side. And no, there’s isn’t one on the passenger side.
