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 .
I just bought it, notice the fire wall heater box, does anyone about this, is this a stock install at the factory or at the dealership, it works, along with the speed motor switch. See the heater box control assembly below the speed odometer ,does anyone know where I can get this assembly replaced, as it could use some new cables.
Hi Mark,
I believe that is a factory installed heater, but it was likely an option. I can’t say which year that began appear in CJ-5s, but I rarely see them. There’s another example on this page: http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f8/take-heater-out-not-977963/
There are some heater cables on eBay, but I couldn’t say if they are what you need or not. The guys on the earlycj5.com site can tell you more: http://www.earlycj5.com/xf_cj5/index.php

It does look like the correct factory installed heater box and assembly. My 59 is almost identical to this. The heater controls appear correct.
Thanks Jim. I guess I need to pay more attention to heaters!
Thanks all for the feedback on the heater, another thing I notice is the battery box is on the firewall, vice next to the radiator, I was told this metal tray located above generator is for a pump connected by belt to the generator for a snow plow. The generator has a double pulley and there is no pump there now. Does this seem accurate as I am new to willys jeeps.
Also can you all pass me some advise on underbody rust inhibitor and costing product. The tub interior is has been painted with rino lining and the underbody rust is not bad, but I want secure from any further decay, as the paint and interior is in great shape.
