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 .

As part of the continuing updates to our property, we’ve added some additional walkways. These serve three purposes. 1) We found that lots of dirt was being tracked into the bunkhouse, so that needed to be addressed; 2) the bunkhouse felt separate from the rest of the buildings and 3) we expect to replace the lean-to ‘barn’ to be replaced with an actual barn, so these walkways will help link everything together. So, we hoped extending the walkway would help incorporate the buildings.
This is one of the few tasks that we decided to hire a contractor to complete. Unfortunately, our calls to local contractors proved frustrating. We couldn’t get local folks to respond. Finally, Ann reached out to Wine Country Landscaping in Milton-Freewater, about an hour away. They gave us a free estimate and had great reviews. It’s a young company, but they are eager to grow, easy to work with, and did a great job. In fact, the guys repaired some concrete for free just to make everything look better, something they were not required to do.
At this rate, I see no reason we can’t hold some kind of jeep event next year. I’ll announce something by January.
Here are some pre-concrete photos. This first one shows the gravel in front of the shop, an annoyance when moving something with smaller wheels from the concrete to the asphalt. To the right of the shop is a form for the new propane tank pad.
After: The concrete now runs the northern side of the shop. The white building in back is a series of lean-tos that are super inefficient space wise. We will repurpose the lean-to materials in to a hay barn and shelter for the cows and a barn will replace the existing structure. To the right is the guesthouse.
A reader shared a rare look at a Willys Electric Light Plant, including the sleeves during cranking. In the pic below, the Willys Electric Light Plant is on the left and a rare Alamo (electric light plant?) is on the right.
Here is a video of the sleeve functioning:

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1850.
For new FC windshields, Fesler USA is offering real glass windshields and has them in stock for $499. Fesler has also offered to provide eWillys readers with a discount code (not setup yet, but I suspect they will give it to you if you call them and mention you saw it here .. unclear how much the discount will be at this time). The company plans to formally advertise on eWillys starting sometime in November.
“Guessing on year. No paperwork, I will write you a BOS. I can also direct you to a legit Sacramento area title service.
Obviously needs all glass (except wind wings, which I guess were too small a target). Windshields are available for $400 (+200 shipping=$600) according to the internet. The rest is flat glass.
You can see what is not here, I have no spares.
I’ve included pics of all the rust areas. Surface rust on cab top, rain gutters are nice.
Mechanically seems complete, engine turns by hand!
I’ll entertain near offers, and even listen to trade proposals (no guns or boats please)”
Listed as a 1946, the serial # 175762 puts it as 1948 model. Thanks to Mike for sharing.

(<– See Part II of the road trip)
Over the past few days Randy and Carson made good time, yet saw plenty. From Yosemite, they traveled southeast until camping somewhere in Nevada.
The next morning, they drove to Las Vegas, Nevada, where they hit the Vegas strip. At some point, Carson broke a fan belt, so they got to spend more time than planned in Vegas.
Back on the road, they drove to Utah. There, they met up with Jake White and others to take the offroad trip to Toquerville Falls, Utah.
This model just sold on eBay for $108.51. At six inches long, it’s a good side. I was going to bid on this, and even set my alarm, but got too busy rendering 15lbs of pork fat into lard (we just had our pig butchered), so when my alarm went off to go to eBay, I turned it off, got distracted and forgot. Sigh. This is a cool one.
This is a rare one. It appears in reasonable shape, especially for the price. Someone might have added duallies to the rear.

“This is one of the last of it’s kind in really good condition. It has a flat head six cylinder engine that I was converting fro six to twelve volt. I was not able to finish because of disability. It would be nice to have someone finish this project. This ran when parked.”
Looks like a fun sand jeep.

“1948 Willys CJ-2A with a 1944 MBs body retrofit but with vintage parts such as grill, glovebox, lights, wind shield, seats,etc.
Very close as a complete MB clone. Has new top, straps, and seats. Many parts have been replaced including wiring and alternator to a 12v system, cables, gauges, shocks, and muffler. Includes tow bar. Engine runs fine with good compression psi: 135,120, 125, 130. Transmission has a new clutch.
I recently bought this Jeep from my uncle with title and Collector plate. He used in mostly to ride in
parades and show it at car shows with a military auto club. It has now been completely mechanically inspected and is in the process of professional auto work and I decided to start a restoration at my home under cover. Car is available to see while work is being completed.
Vin plate is missing so I have a special appointment set up with the State Patrol to have a reassigned vin number added to car frame and body. I will support with attendance if you want to conduct the inspection with State Patrol.
Car need three tires (one tire is new).
Several thousand dollars spend recently on new parts:
Replacing all new brakes lines and master cylinder, (new wheel cylinders are in place now)
Replacing front hub seals and all axles seals,
Replacing new emergency brake pads and rotational seals transfer case seals,
Replacing clutch and brake pedals and clutch and brake rotational shafts and brake arm.
Fuel line is new and replacing fuel gauge.
Replacing front axle bearings.
Replacing steering shaft and sleeve plus rebuilding steering box.
Bought 2 gallons of Army correct paint but do not have time to paint.
A few places have rust so I bought replacement panels and in process of replacing (but probably will not finish soon).
I do not need help selling or in a hurry. Selling for what I invested so far minus my time. Cash only and no trades. I plan to keep the Jeep if close to price is not met and continue restoration in the spring. Mechanical works should be completed soon.
I do not have time to finish the complete project thus reason for sale. Price reduction can be negotiated if you want the car as is and finish the work. Price listed is with most of stated work to be completed.
I will not reply to emails or texts, please call only. Please serious calls only and no low balls or scammers!”
UPDATE: Now priced at $12,500.
