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 $5500.
“Beautifully restored 1948 Willy’s jeep, very low mileage, garage kept except for the past few weeks. It has a 50 ft heavy duty winch tat works, body in prefect condition. Original engine. For more information plz message. It’s been I the family for over 50 years and has been well taken care of. It will start but needs carbonator rebuilt, tires, and a battery. It’s a true classic. May be willing to trade for a newer truck, depending.”
Interesting winch setup, I wonder about the shaft with the pillow block bearings on the bumper. I think it is either some sort of cable fairlead or maybe allows winch cable to be doubled up like a snatch block would operate. I’m sure that shag carpeting provides protection and holds no moisture.
I looked again, that shaft is mounted to the tow bar, I have no idea what it does.
48 with a MB glove box?? -older re-pro tub maybe?
Mark: It looks like this is a crankshaft controlled winch like this https://cj3b.info/Tech/KoenigCrankshaftWinch.html , but I don’t see the crankshaft controller. I’m sure the carpet doesn’t trap a single bit of moisture!!
Matt: Yep, I forgot to comment on that glove box. I’m sure this is a repro body. Note that the emergency brake hole does not have the proper shape .. in other words, the builder had to drill a hole for the brake. There is also no hole for a governor on the dash to the upper left of the steering column cutout.
This is sold pet owner.
