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 $650.
Recently rebuilt.
“Have recently rebuilt Warn Overdrive for Willy’s vehicles, 29 tooth, never used since rebuilt.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
This might be worth a look, but the shifters are missing.
“Complete trans and transfer case with Husky overdrive. Husky brand is a copy of the Warn unit and made in Longmont ,Colo. Missing all shift levers. The trans is a t-98 ,4spd.”
UPDATE: Here is a brochure and some directions/schematics for the rare Sierra Dana 20 Overdrive.
The Sierra Overdrive was designed to mount to a Dana 20.
In November of 1980, Pickup, Van & 4WD Magazine published this article on overdrives, which includes several I hadn’t heard about. This series of article images comes from Christian Harrison (and thanks to Marty Tilford for spotting it). The scans aren’t perfect, but are mostly readable. You can find a similar article at the Four Wheeler Network.
Particularly interesting to me is the Dana 20-mounted Sierra Overdrive. Willie Worthy of Four Wheeler was involved in the development of it, but noted that a lack of capital doomed it.
UPDATE:**SOLD**
The seller has prices on a couple things, but doesn’t list a price for this overdrive/tc/tranny combo.
“Stock parts.
Frame. – $500
Front and rear axle. – $500
Heads. I’ve got 2. – $350 each”
I’m assuming this is a Warn. No pics provided.
“Have recently rebuilt Wagner Overdrive for Willy’s vehicles, 29 tooth, never used since rebuilt.”
https://tucson.craigslist.org/pts/d/wagner-overdrive-for-jeep/6219355893.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was for trade.
The seller wants to trade WARN ODs and is also looking for wagon/truck PTO parts.
“I am looking to trade my 26 tooth, 6 spline Warn overdrive for a Dana/spicer 18 transfer case for a 29 tooth, 6 spline version. I am also looking for an PTO winch and appropriate driveshafts for a Willys wagon or truck.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
Given the mileage, the tc probably needs a rebuild.
“TRANSMISSION – TRANSFER CASE – WARN OVERDRIVE FROM A 1960 WILLYS JEEP – 57,000 MILES -”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $550.
Pulled from a CJ-2A.
Here’s a neat combo.
“Very rare 29 tooth warn overdrive unit with ultra rare adapter for Ramsey pto. Included is the Spicer 18 tranfercase (mostly complete with dual levers), Dana 20 transfercase (disassembled but mostly there), Warn 29 tooth overdrive unit, adapter to Ramsey pto winch, Ramsey pto winch, shafts, pillow bearing, Ramsey winch, cable and misc pieces. Note: I believe the transfercases are 26 tooth and that is why I didn’t finish project. Also these pieces have been sitting about 10 years in an uninsulated shop (surface rust is on most everything). These pieces were working when removed, but that 10 years ago. I didn’t notice any broken teeth but you need to inspect before buying. I believe almost everything is there, but sitting in shop for ten years I may have misplaced some things. Will not part, complete sale only. Price is firm. If you need more picks please email me and I will send them to you.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600.
I haven’t seen an OD pop up for sale in a while.
“Dana 18 transfer case and overdrive unit. Both work great removed from a 1962 CJ5. Had the overdrive on my 1952 CJ and went from being able to do 45mph to 57mph. Doing and engine and tranny swap so no longer need it. Overdrive is a Warn unit. It is a factory part not a knockoff. Very rare. $600”
I thought this auxiliary transmission comparison was interesting. A 1969 article promoted Warn’s Auxiliary Transmission, an overdrive that sat between the transmission and transferase. By early 1970 Husky was promoting a similar sized heavy-duty overdrive that sat between the engine and transmission.
More pics of the Warn Auxiliary Transmission. This one was sold in Nevada in 2013, priced at only $450 (also included tranny & tc).
This one was priced at $700 and sold out of Maryland:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $450.
Somebody need this one?
“Warn 29 tooth, All Range Overdrive.
Good condition.
Build date: 9/66
$450.00
Also have model 18 transfer case available. $100.00. With overdrive $50.00.
Consider full/partial trade for Willys Jeep pickup parts. Left door glass, front winch bumper, hood, tailgate, SM420 with adapter to model 18 transfer case.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $400.
Might be worth a look.
“Saturn Warn Overdrive for Jeep CJ. Removed from 71 CJ 5.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $850.

“I got this overdrive in an m38 willys that I bought and don’t know the history of it. It does turn and spin and all parts move. It is a Warn, the data tag says it is a 33-29, but the gear has a 26 on it. It came off of a 18 transfer with a t-90 transmission in a willys m38.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
This combo won’t last long.
“jeep transmission and transfer case with overdrive only. motor not included $400”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
Should be of interest to someone.
“For sale the ultimate early CJ5, CJ6, CJ2, commando and CJ3B combo an upgraded t90 transmission with a twin stick dana/ spicer transfer case, with a warn overdrive and a Ramsey pto . Also included are the parts to remove the pto. This is a great setup and was fully functional when removed. The guy I bought it from was doing a diesel swap in his cj6 and couldn’t use this setup. I was going to use the transfer case and overdrive in my cj5 but it turns out the t14 trans I have has a different spline count so I can’t use it. Looking to get 1000 obo or trade for a warn overdrive for a t14/ dana 18 or let me know what you have. This is a good price as the warn overdrive alone is new over a 1000 and 700+- used”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
“Recently removed from a Willys Jeep project that I am parting out. All internals in great shape except for the special lock washer, and the end of the 6 spline shaft. The washer and special C clip are available from Advanced Adapters in their installation kit. The end of the 6 spline shaft is serviceable, just needs dressed up. Brass syncro ring and dogs and springs all look good. Planetary gears spin free with no noticeable wear. Original vintage Jeep and International Scout All range overdrive, just needs the washer replaced and installed on your Dana Spicer 18. I did not disassemble the planetary housing any further than is depicted…If you want me to dig deeper into the assemble I can but I don’t think it necessary. This was removed from a Ford 289, top loader 3 speed and Spicer 18 that came out of a running Willys.”
UPDATE: Was $450. **SOLD**
“Warn/Saturn overdrive unit that mates to the Dana Model 18 transfer case. This overdrive has a 10 spline input and a 26 tooth main drive gear that works on the model 18 case with a 1 1/8” intermediate shaft. Includes new shifter with linkage and a new gasket install kit. Unit turns freely and is not burnt up, but needs some new bearings.
Also have a 6 spline input available for an extra $120″
Both need some rebuilding, but parts included. No pics provided.
“I have a Complete Dana 18 1 1/4″ intermediate shaft with twin sticks.
Disassembled for inspection.
New intermediate shaft with bearings.
New complete seal and gasket kit for it.
Needs assembled, I just haven’t had the time to do it, but I will if someone needs me too.
Also, a Warn / Saturn overdrive unit for the 1 1/4″ shaft Dana 18 transfercase.
Excellent condition. It was in my Jeep and I pulled it off to change the transfercase and noticed the needle bearings in the planatery were showing some wear so I put another overdrive I had back in the Jeep. I have the new bearings for the overdrive.
I have the complete shifter setup for a T90 as well. Could be modified to fit other transmissions if you dont have a T90.
This complete package was a spare for my Jeep, but I sold my jeep a year ago and just clearing out the extra parts I had for it.
Dana 18 twin stick and Warn Overdrive $800 like they sit with the new parts in the bags
or I will rebuild the transfercase and the overdrive with the parts I have for an extra 200 bucks”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650.
Sounds like a good price given the updates.
