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 .
Unclear how much value is here.

“This is a very rough vehicle, I think it is a 42 but not positive. Someone installed a later motor in it but I don’t know if it would run or not. I plan to cut it up and hang it on the wall in my shop. Willing to let go for $2,000 firm”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4000.
(05/02/2023) Runs, but won’t stay running. Some closeup shots would be helpful.

“I have a 1947 cj 2a that does run but will need some work. It won’t stay running I think it has a vacuum leak. It has the aluminum half cab with doors. I also have a running 4 cylinder and a parts 4 cylinder to go with it. I also have another jeep body that is in decent shape but needs floors. I have the floors for it just haven’t put them in. There is also another frame and various other parts. If you’re interested call me at [hidden information] or message me the put together jeep also has a title as well. Make me an offer that I can’t refuse”
UPDATE: Bill notes that the starting price dropped on this one. Now there’s a bid of $1000 on it.
Bill shared this rare Austin Champ. It seems a fair price, but the cost of parts is the killers on these.

“1958 Austin Champ British Jeep
The Austin Champ is powered by a 64hp Rolls Royce gasoline engine with a 5-speed gearbox (forward and reverse), and a clutch for 4-wheel drive option. It has 4-wheel independent suspension with double a-frames and torsion bar. The fasteners are British standard — Whitworth, the same as early British motorcycles. This vehicle has river fording capabilities. The Champ had sophisticated generating systems for field operations.
This vehicle was operable until early 90’s, and then it started to require more work than there was time for. This vehicle is being offered with an additional engine (that was purchased new from the UK in the early 1990’s), and a set of parts that include carburetor, distributor, etc. The vehicle is currently stored, along with the additional engine, in northern California. This vehicle is currently not running. All paperwork, registration and title. Buyer responsible for relocating vehicle. We can assist you in sorting out details of the shipping if needed.”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
Seller sounds ready to sell altogether or separately.

I recently purchased a special equipment binder off ebay. Usually, there are a few interesting brochures inside. This time, it was full of these pink price sheets, like this:
However, thankfully, inside the book there was a second small booklet that did have some brochures, and a few interesting ones.
As an example, I’ve never run across this unusual 4-page McCain Hub Winch brochure.
UPDATE: Here’s a second type of Warn-A-Larm brochure. It is a single page, form #AC1166-20 (maybe 11/1966?).
=====================================
Originally published Feb 20, 2023:
This is a product I didn’t know existed at one time. According to this four-page brochure, the Warn-A-Larm is a backup alarm device to warn folks when a vehicle is backing. It appears the brochure is from June 1969.
O
I’ve seen these Tilt-o-meters in various jeeps, but I didn’t know they produced a brochure:
This is a device I’ve never seen. When a vehicle is stuck it brakes the spinning wheel, forcing the non-spinning wheel to spin (and hopefully) un-sticks the vehicle.
This could be worth a look. Unclear if it runs.

“1948 Willy’s jeep. It ran when it was put in storage building 20 years ago. Great garage find. Make this your jeep project.”
There must be some parts value here.

“Has original AMC motor. Needs to be towed. Doesn’t run. Will discuss trades and offers. Project jeep for sure.”
Maybe someone can use this?

“L 226, side shift T 90 Transmission, and Dana 18 transfer case from an FC -170. The engine turned over when pulled. Comes with stock transmission shift linkages, driveshafts, and hard to find shifter for an FC.”
This may have been a neat rig back in the day. It’s got no engine, but does have an OD.

“1951 Willys, west coast truck. no rust, no motor. transmission and transfer case are present. has clean Nevada title. priced to sell fast, hard to find in this condition.”

UPDATE: This post was originally published 12/26/2018:
This article about exploring southern Utah in a jeep was published in the October 1958 issue of Sunset Magazine. You’ll see a nod to Kent Frost’s guide company and a photo of the front of one of his CJ-5s.

The maker of this midwest, rear-flared fiberglass body is still a mystery to me.

Seems like some value here at that price. The 3B is a later model.

This looks in great shape. It does lack the bow holders and spare tire holder, but looks like a quality rebuild.

“1948 CJ2A. Vehicle is in amazing shape. New tub. Rebuilt engine. It’s not perfect but I would drive it anywhere. Great for parades!!”

“1951 Willys M-38 and M100 trailer. 8400 miles, I believe to be original. The jeep is in good condition, not perfect. It has a few dings and scratches. It has a clear title. The trailer does not have a title. It has been with the jeep for at least 30 plus years.it runs drives and stops. All lights work and black out lights too. The horn works as well. It has a miss when it warms but have narrowed it down to cap and or a coil. All 24 volt is still original to the jeep. It also comes with a top and all the hardware. I do have the doors as well. I do have the canvas for the trailer as well, it is not in great shape but can get good measurements.”
May need a head gasket.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3178404485801734
“Don’t have time for it anymore and need shed space. I believe it needs a head gasket. Has oil in coolant. *Engine DOES RUN* Has original hard top and doors and rear hatch, never got around to finish painting them. Has a new T-90 3spd transmission and Kaiser oil filter kit. Have a new carb in box still. Put a new one on last year and accidentally ordered a 2nd. Has ambient lights, grille lights and entry lights. Recently put a tachometer on it as well. New Distributor, Wires and MSD coil. Was 6V, 12V converted. Comes with box of original parts as well. I’m sure I’m forgetting some things. $7000 obo. Price negotiable.”
Unclear if the chassis is a CJ-5, DJ-3A (w/4wd added) or CJ-3B.
