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’m sure someone can use this.

The seller also has some parts for sale too. The engine is stuck.
“Great jeep, has full aluminum top,with full doors,Sound mechanically except engine is still stuck. Cylinders look good,I suspect there may be a bad rod bearing.Think engine may be rebuild-able.

UPDATE: The site is temporarily offline due to a move. It should return shortly.
Are you looking for a Hot Rod Shift Knob? There are some unusual ones at HotRodShiftKnobs.com.
From the website, Welcome to Hot Rod Shift Knobs, where shifters go to find their perfect knob. I started this biz as a kustom car, hot rod and classic car lover, and opened my first store House O’ Speed. I thought there oughta be place where people with rat rods, traditional hot rods and just about anything in between could find unique shift knobs for their rides. Ceramic shift knobs, antique glass door knob shift knobs, pewter sand-cast shift knobs, glitter shift knobs, marbleized knobs, nostalgia knobs, vintage grenade shift knobs, skull knobs, shrunken head knobs, custom one-of-a-kind shifts knobs that are hand-painted using candies, metallics and high-end automotive finishes. You won’t find the run of the mill stuff here, folks….
Below are examples of their Frankenstein Knob options.
You can also see some really strange ones at Pirate 4×4’s Cool Shift Knobs thread.
Brian found this good deal. Here are Front and Rear Lockers that appear to be still in their boxes. There’s a review of PowerTrax No Slip Lockers at Rockcrawler.com.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
I’m not sure what it would take to get the other parts necessary to make this work.
“I have a Monroe 3 point hitch for a willys jeep in good restorable condition with the tank/controller. no pump. does not include link arms or pto just the lift and controller. Will take trades or cash, make me an offer and we can go from there,”
A reader named Mike asked me to post this.
“I have a completely rebuilt a CJ-2A starter. It has a new bendix. The guts have all been cleaned and turned. The bushings and brushes have been cleaned. I even have the new bushing that goes in the bellhousing. Its a 6 volt starter. It came out of a 1947 CJ-2A. I put a 12 volt starter in and so do not need it anymore. I invested 150 dollars, so want to get 100 dollars for it. It’s in excellent condition.”
Well, this is cool. I’ve never seen one of these before.

Here’s a plow.
“72” plow for a willys jeep cj2a also includes frame rail braces for mounting and hydraulics for original 4cyl to lift the plow… send an email for more info. $500 or best offer”
A reader named Robert noted my interest in an alternative emergency brake. He purchased the one to the right and says it looks pretty good, though he still needs to install it. While this isn’t exactly what I’m seeking, it is a great price at $4.95.
“Can be made to fit many applications. Originally designed as brake cables on Military trailers and Jeeps Unused/Unissued. Handle style and color may vary.”
UPDATE: Mike has informed me that this sold. I”ll leave this here so the comment thread stays intact.
Mike writes, “It has a new 12 volt motor with a core that was fixed at a shop. It is nice not rusted or beat up.”
I was looking for some Willys Jeep script ran across the Tail Light King Website accidently. I don’t think I mentioned it last time, but the taillightking.com has Willys & Jeep lights as well.
Several of our finest in Blue from Arizona read ewillys daily. One of the readers asked about diamond plating for old flatties. I can’t say I was much help, but maybe some of you have a suggestion?
Here is what I wrote:

How to Polish Aluminum Diamond Plating (Something I didn’t know)
http://www.ehow.com/how_4556441_polish-aluminum-diamond-plating-mothers.html
There was no price listed on this trencher. It’s bit rusted, but these are hard to find.
“Trencher from an old jeep. Just removed from the jeep. Complete. Call Bob at 605 852 2156”
No pics and little description.
“engines, transmissions, axles and misc. 970-620-3010”
I have no idea what these normally cost, but figured someone might be interesting in them.
“New in Box set of 4007-std Perfect Circle piston rings will fit the F and L head 4cyl 134 willys jeep engine will ship priority mail for this price contact me at larryd@cnetco.com”
This is one of the least expensive winches I’ve come across through Craigslist. It looks like dad’s old winch, which never failed us in 15 years of use.
“Old school, would be awesome for restoration on vintage 4×4, this is the winch that later became the famous warn upright 8274. It worked great when removed from 1964 Jeep CJ5 a year ago. $250 or will consider trade for f*re arms, canoe, aluminum boat willys jeep parts etc. ”
Diamond plating is great for covering all kinds of problems. Almost better than duct tape … almost …
“For sale are 3 sheets of diamond plate 1/8 inch thick aluminum. I have two sheets at 2 feet tall and 6 feet long, and one sheet at 2 feet tall and 4 feet long. It was for a project I never got to. Email me name and number. These pieces would go for over $400.00 and can be made into anything with simple metal cutting tools (like a skill saw)!”
A reader named Roy provided this link. Here’s a nicely updated, offset and complete Dana 44. These offset Dana 44’s are becoming less comon.
“Here is a dana 44 offset rearend for sale. It has a Warn Full Floating Kit on it Eaton Posi Disc brake Conversion Kit & 4:56 Gears. This Rear end will fit any Jeep that has a Dana 18 Transfercase. cj5 or Willy’s cj2a/cj3a or cj3b. (559) 593-8590 Thank you”
