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 .
UPDATE: Still Available

Dave, what’s “the Hudson steering upgrade”? Steering from an old Hudson?
Ditto……
From this page:
http://www.ewillys.com/2009/02/08/my-rebuild-power-steering/ :
I exchanged emails with with a reader named Larry who had one of these in a CJ3B and loved it (calling it the sweetest driving jeep he’d ever owned — he planned to put one in a 1949 CJ-2A he just bought). I’ve never tried the swap nor tried driving a jeep with the setup in place. I doubt these would work on a MB/GPW setup. (To the right is an image of a Hudson steering wheel in a jeep from Jp Magazine.)
These can still be found using craigslist and junkyards. Here’s a quote from the CJ-3B site.
“Forget the power steering and get a 1949-1954 Hudson steering set up. You can swap out the whole steering column or just machine the steering box to fit your original steering column. They both used Ross steering boxes, but the Hudson used a tapered roller bearing with a different gear ratio, making it feel just like power steering and gives you the tighter turning radius.” http://cj3b.info/Tech/Upgrades.html
Any possible decrease in the turning radius would require adjustment of the steering stops on the axle. The steering box should still have travel after the front axle contacts the steering stops.
That’s a pretty fancy steering wheel for a CJ too.
That steering wheel and horn ring are from a jeepster.
It’s so sad to see a rare Jeepster horn button with a hole poked in it.

Hello
My name is André and I live in Brazil (South America). I do not speak English and so I’m using Google translator.
I’m interested in parts of your Jeep. But it is necessary that you send (post?) to me. I paid for shipping. Is this possible? I need only a few items of engine (carburetor, dynamo, fuel pump, radiator, etc.) and windshield (if complete, with motor) and a few small parts that I can not remember now. I paid for this parts what you order on Jeep and paid the shipping too. Do you have more pictures (engine)?
Are you interested?
I appreciate and look forward to your response.
Have a great christmas!
