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: Status Unknown. Was $4750.
Could be a good price.
“One family owned Willy’s for sale. Looking for a new family to love. New points, wires, plugs, oil can, master cylinder, running good, lots of new parts. Not a daily driver but a great jeep to toy around in, has some popping in 2nd and 3rd gear due to needing some timing adjustments. Classic Willy and all the intricacies that come with that.”
Video of it running can be seen here:
Looks like a replacement body
Bob in nc…what makes you think it’s a replacement body?
If the parking brake indent on the dash hasn’t been drilled, that would be once clue that it might be a replacement body (I can’t tell if there’s a hole that’s filled or if it is an undrilled hole).
The thing that makes me think it isn’t a replacement body is that it has the heater vent hole on the passenger side (you can see a plate over it on the interior shot of the body). I haven’t seen any 3B replacement bodies for late model Cj-3Bs that include such a hole.
My understanding is that the parking brake would be where someone installed a hydraulic line lock. In the middle of the dash for an early 60s model and not at the indent.
You are absolutely right. The T-handle. And I agree with your analysis. In my defense, I haven’t had my coffee yet 🙂
No worries! I was mostly concerned as I acquired this CJ and am trying to get it back close to original as I can. On that note, if you know anywhere I can get the T-Handle parking brake setup I’d love to get it!
