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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was a $80.
Here’s a great price on 6 rims.
“Vintage Aluminum Hurricane Rims. Came off Ford E150 with 5.5″ bolt pattern. Tires are not good. 6 rims with lugs”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1250.
The winch on the front might add some good value to this. No pics of it (but the levers on the dash suggest its electric).
“Cool old Jeep 4×4 with a flathead 6 engine, flat fender Jeep. Sitting for 20 years so it needs everything, it’s still solid! BIG winch on the front. Looking to see if there’s a good trade out there before I start going through it. Title in hand. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
“I’m just seeing what kind of interest there is on my Kaiser 3B Jeep. It’s the flat fender “high hood”model, like a willys. It needs restored. Frame is in great shape, it will run, nothing is locked up, But it needs a body kit to replace the old tub, fenders, and hood…the grill is the only good body part. Any questions, email me. No trades. Has title”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
(11/19/2010) Well, it has a major scoop! This appears to have a M-38 or aftermarket body. I think the windshield is a MB/GPW.”

“Ohio title. The original engine was replaced with a f head 161 6 cylinder from a 50s wagon. Runs nice. The front cross member was cut to accommodate the bigger engine. Currently has a piece of steel bolted in place, it should be welded if you are going to do some serious driving. New floors were welded in over the old. Has new carb, wires, master cylinder, front brakes, speedometer, speedometer cable, fuel sending unit, turn signals added. It does not have fenders but you can buy them online from a variety of stores, kaiserwillys.com Currently has 12×33 ground hog tires on it. I have some orig. steel wheels but will have to swap them out if you prefer. I have not hooked up the other Gauges. If you are looking to switch it back to 4 cylinder I have an additional grill with shroud. It will need a new exhaust, leaks covered with muffler tape. 4 wheel drive works, sticks occasionally, Needs better seats. Glass is cracked. Needs air cleaner. I just drive it around the neighborhood. People get a kick out of it. Asking $2500 cash only. Please no spam, I don’t need help selling it. Thank you for looking.”

Here’s the rough map:
<– Day 36 – Sat. June 8th: Escape to the Movies | Trip Overview | Day 38 – Mon. June 10th: Trains and Planes –>
On Sunday we drove from Buffalo to Niagara Falls.
We are standing on the Rainbow Bridge. The trek to our new country wore on us, but we continued marching!
On Tuesday June 09 we drove from Buffalo to Niagara Falls,
For our entire stay in Buffalo, the weather has been wet in varying degrees. So, on Sunday June 9th we decided to defect to Canada.
As if Ulysses-like Sirens were wooing us, the closer we got to Canada, the better the weather became. We took it as a sure sign we were doing the right thing. Once Ann and I located a parking spot (free even!) on the American side of the border, we abandoned our car and our American lives to embark on a future as Canadians.
It turns out it’s easy to leave the US on foot. We just passed through a simple turnstile and we were home free! Like a couple of refugees, we packed light, carrying only the bare essentials (cameras and cash) on our forced march across Rainbow Bridge (we couldn’t bring the jeep across — it was too new and the bank that holds the loan wouldn’t give us permission).
Look at that great view!
Behind us is a Canadian playground awaiting our arrival. We left behind the sunny the rainy skies of Buffalo for the beautiful blue of Canada.
By the time we were halfway across the bridge, the sun was shining bright. The mist from the falls saluted our decision, welcoming us in a very friendly manner into the Canadian fold.
“OH CANADA” we bellowed as we approached the passport office. Behind the desk at the office was a pretty blond who greeted us (Canada was looking pretty good by that point!) — No wonder Canadian Dave loves his country so much!
The Canadian’s appear to be very neat and tidy. I wonder if all their lawns look like this?
After sizing up Canada’s two newest citizens, the immigration official let us in. We couldn’t wait to breathe the Canadian air, eat the best of Canadian food, and see the world through their eyes.
<– Day 35 – Fri. June 7th: An Old Building and New Cars | Trip Overview | Day 37 – Sun. June 9th: Defecting to Canada –>
No pics for today …
On Saturday Ann and I were asked to be special hosts at the Farny Wurlitzer house as part of a local house-tour event (multiple houses in multiple locations) to raise money for a local organization. Joining us at the Wurlitzer house was our new friend Jeff, who we’d gotten to know over the past couple of days (he was visiting North Tonawanda from Chicago).
A long story short, after about a half hour of greeting a few people, the three of us realized that nobody cared who we were or why we were there. Visitors just wanted to look at the house. Unfortunately for Jeff, he had no access to transportation, so was stuck there. It didn’t take use long to decide that we were totally wasting our time, so we all agreed it was time to bail this event (none of us had made specific promises as to how long we would be there — frankly, the event was poorly organized).
After a quick discussion, we decided to get some lunch and go watch a movie, as Jeff’s return flight didn’t take off until late Saturday night.
Our lunch stop was a highly rated Polish plate called K Sisters: Authenic Pierogi. It was delicious!
After lunch, we found a nearby theatre showing Star Trek Into Darkness. Jeff, a very busy guy, seemed to greatly appreciate the break. He said it had been quite a while since he’d seen a movie in a theatre. We equally enjoyed the time to decompress.
After the movie, we dropped Jeff off at his hotel. We hit it off so well that he offered to show us around his Wurlitzer restoration facility in Chicago on our way back home. We readily accepted the offer.
Tomorrow, we hit the road once again, bound to cross the border and interact with our Canadian brethren.
