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: **SOLD** Was $2000.
It doesn’t run at the moment.
“1942 Ford GPW
Studebaker flathead 6
Factory transmission
Factory transfer-case
Factory axles
Rare cold weather hard top
6 point roll cage
2 gas tanks
I’ve have had this project for about 7 years and haven’t gotten to it. So its time to sell. It ran and drove last around 5 years ago, seemed to have low compression but didn’t smoke. Have title but never transfered to my name.”
Looks like a mess of wires under that hood!
The jeep does look kinda serious with that hardtop on. The Studebaker 6 actually fits in there quite well, I wonder if that was a common swap back in the day. I seem to have seen a few others on here. It would be cool to see an old article in a magazine like Popular Mechanics.
Mark, I’ll keep a look out for that transmission swap. According to a Studebaker forum and four wheeler magazine, the Studebaker engine would bolt right up to the T-90. However, in some cases the transmission input shaft had to be changed.
From Four Wheeler Magazine (http://www.fourwheeler.com/how-to/tech-qa/129-0901-jeep-motors-history/): During the late ’50s and ’60s, engine swaps of all types started taking place. Chevy V-8s became the popular swap, as was (believe it or not!) the Studebaker V-8. While this engine wasn’t as light or compact as the Chevy, its one main advantage was that-like Jeep at the time-it also used a T-90 transmission, therefore requiring no adapter.
I’m sure Four Wheeler magazine would have done a write up on that swap. I’ll keep a look out for it.
