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: Was $150. **SOLD**
Seller saved this and hopes a willys lover can use it.
“Up for sale is a willys jeep powered air compressor I saved it from the scrapyard with plans to restore but have no time for it anymore. Would like to see it go to a jeep collector it turns over that’s all I know about it. Looks pretty complete”
Appears it sold. I’m not surprised: the starter and generator were each worth the selling price… although it would be cool if the buyer preserves/restores it.
I was lucky enough to buy it and plan to restore, trailer mount , and use it to sand blast all the other rusty stuff I have. It’s the General Supply model and I am in need of any and all info about it, and the Hesse version as well. This is a great site!
Jackson,
Congrats on the purchase. Here’s a link that has several links regarding the Hesse:

The only reference to “General Supply” I have is this link, but it isn’t too helpful:

Thanks Dave, I think I’ve seen everything available online.Too bad a couple of those links don’t work but the g503 site has some good info. The air tank seems to be the main thing the unit is missing.Any idea what size it is? I’ve culled most of the photos online for comparison and one thing I notice is the gauge and control panel on mine is attached to side of radiator shroud which is not seen on others. I see a lot of minor variations in the photos. Where do the unused 2&3 ignition wires go? In the photos they seem to disappear under the block or in one photo between head and block.
Cheers

Jackson,
Yeah, you have all the info I have at this point. I’ve never owned or worked with one. Someone asked me about the Hesse one day. It was so hard to find info, that I assembled what I could to hopefully benefit someone like yourself. Good luck on your search for info.
