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 .
Charles from Belgium is looking for one of these rare hooks. I don’t know a lot about them. He’s got the hook on the right, but looking for the hook on the left. Anyone know where to find them?

This trailer looks like a good price. I got curious about the number of Willys Overland trailers produced. After some searches, I learned that a contract for the first 10,000 trailers was given to Willys. A follow up contract for 5000 trailers was given to Bantam. Near the end of the war there were a variety of companies that produces a small number of trailers. This link shares that information: http://jeepdraw.com/Chucks_Trailers.html
“This is a World War II Willy utility trailer. It is extremely rugged and has been modified with ball hitch. Great for hunting, camping or hauling.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
It had to go “today” two days ago, so not sure if it is still available or not.
“$750 OBO today takes this classic panel wagon home. Project vehicle. Ran in the last year. Title in hand. Motor is mid 90’s GMC Jimmy V6″

“I just pulled these off of my Willys ’51 CJ3A Jeep.
They worked before I removed them.
Sold by Sears MANY years ago under the name Allstate.
They are built like a vault. They don’t make them like these anymore.
These could be a neat addition to a period-correct Jeep restoration!
Not pretty right now but media blast and detail them and they’ll probably clean up REALLY nice.
$20 cash

Advertised as a 1952 CJ-3A, this looks more 2Aish, though it has full floating rear hubs. It doesn’t include wheels or tires.
“Project jeep, no drivetrain, the former owner started cutting the motor mounts out to install a small block, so you have some welding work. No title, bill of sale only. Perfect for a rock crawler, sand racer, or as a parts Jeep.
I bought this strictly for the military wheels and tires, it does NOT come with wheels and tires. If you bring a set of rollers, I’ll change them out in 10 minutes for you. Or, if this Jeep is pre-paid, I can deliver it to you for gas money, and remove the wheels when I get there. “

Thanks to John for sharing this. Nope, not a jeep, but still a fun ride through San Francisco. Looks like a great car to drive. You can see there were multiple runs at most locations. So, the driver got to play a bunch.
Over the last couple of days I’ve been trying to get as much done as I can before my son arrives. As you can see, I’ve got the engine, transmission and transfer case installed. I’ve also updated all the rear brake lines and installed the new rear springs.
Unfortunately, I dropped the engine down enough within the chassis (when I changed the engine mounts) that the transfer case output yoke is too level, resulting in sharp driveline drop. So, I’m having to drop the tranny and TC. I might have to twist the rear axle as well, but will waiting until I set the body on the frame to see how the rear pinion angle changes.
So, more work ahead . . . This afternoon Colter and I will be heading to Gig Harbor to pick up Track Avenger 470cfm rebuilt carb I found on Craigslist. It will replace the old Carter 500 cfm that needed fixing.
This person received a Hamilton pedal jeep as a Christmas present several decades ago. Neat old video.
Has a little wear.
“Antique Structo Jeep Fire Truck. Asking $160″
http://harrisburg.craigslist.org/atq/4570471321.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $175.
This has a custom windshield and rail. Peddles and drives.
“Peddle jeep for sale. Made by Hamilton, between 1950 & 1955. Been used and played with, but EVERYTHING WORKS! Steering and peddles function as they should. Would make an excellent restoration project as the Jeeps were fairly rare! Asking $175 or reasonable offer. Also might consider trade towards small CCW pistol. Thanks!”
