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 .
The model builder was supposed to be working on a motor for this tiny jeep at the time this photo and caption were published.

As you can see from the pictures that we simply used it for a casual drive once in awhile, entered it in a few car shows and parades.
I never took this Jeep off roading.
I recorded the odometer every January 1.
My interests have changed and it just isn’t being used any more.
It is time to sell it and let someone else enjoy it!
If you have any questions please call as I am not near my computer most of the day. NO TRADES, Thanks for looking, Bob”

“Running Willys:

– Heavy duty Hitch
– Solid steel front bumper with ample room for winch/hitch

Great for farm and ranch, crosses just about any terrain with plenty of torque.

“Up for auction is my SUPER RARE 1963 Willys 4×4 Jeep FC-170 forward control pickup truckwith full light bar. It has a desirable, 6-cylinder motor that was rebuilt 10 years ago. It has a manual transmission. The Jeep has been garaged and has not been run in the last 5 years due to the clutch going out. It needs brake work. I have not tried to start it since I parked it a few years ago. There are small, minor rust spots at random around the vehicle; also, the floor pans on driver’s and passenger sides needs work. This vehicle has always been garaged. This would be fantastic as a restoration project, or to do some work and drive around as it is now!
UPDATE: Was $2200. **SOLD**
Given the warn winch and the power locks, this might be worth a look.
“The jeep is in fair condition with some TLC required. There is some rusting and some dents in the body. Needs brake job on the 11 inch brakes. It runs, is drivable and oily. Jeep has a Warn winch, Power lock front differential, power track lock rear differential, full roll cage, like new soft top and many spare parts. If you are looking for a restoration project or a woods/ mud vehicle you should come check out this jeep. Worth more for parts than the asking price.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $250.
May have some parts value.

This Willys powered power unit has potential.
“Vintage 1944 WWII aircraft generator. This generator was running 10 years ago. Currently turns over, but we have not tried to start it. Has been dry garage stored for 30+ years.
Four cylinder Jeep Willy’s engine capable of generating 120V, and also 400Hz. There is a separate Chrysler starter motor (attached to flywheel) that can be hooked to a 6V battery for easy starting. A small hand crank for starting is also included.
It is a 2.5kW 400Hz aircraft generator, but has been modified for 120v 60Hz output on one outlet.
We do not have any manuals or paperwork for this unit. The manual is available via:
http://www.military-info.com/mphoto/P112.htm
The manual is: TM 11-975 Power Unit PU-35/U (17 November 1944); 53 pages, 28 illus.
Dimensions on this unit are 47″ length x 22″ width x 38″ height. It is on small metal wheels. This would easily fit on a small trailer. A winch and set of ramps with careful management of the generator could be possible for one individual. It is very heavy though!
If this ad is posted, the generator is available. More photos available on request. Cash upon pickup.”
