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 $2500.
“1951 Willy’s Pickup 4wd Project Vehicle. It was used to drill holes for blasting. It is 4WD. It has a PTO that could be used for some other purpose like running a winch. It needs a distributor cap, plug wires, a coil and a battery. It has a straight 4 engine. The tires are not in good shape but would probably hold air long enough to get it on a trailer.
I am not willing to part it out or let you work on it for a few days to see if you can get it running.”
Now that would be a cool one to have
Probably the only one extant. Wonder if it has a BUILDERS TAG? You’d be the only one at a WORKING WILLYS SHOW. The price is certainly right.
Isn’t it possible that one of Dave’s mining ancestors used this?
Steve,
The only oil boring that I know of was doing in Marietta, Ohio, in 1865. It didn’t go all that well. Might have been more successful had they owned a jeep!
didn’t look like this jeep was for oil boring. says for BLASTING.
For some reason I saw drilling and though oil boring. I’m wrong. (too much book on the brain :-))
Would like to come look at it need birection 208-661- 3578
Hi Chad,
