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 .
Isn’t that a tractor front nose?

Here are two different stories from two issues of Popular Mechanics comparing the size of a M-38A1 to the Mighty Mite.

Robin forwarded this video from those wild Icelandic vehicles.
Here a book for budding capitalistic kids.
“The Jeep Wheel Book, Published by Samuel Lowe Company. No date but early 1950s.
Neat little book has movable wheels attached to front cover. This copy of the scarcest title in this series, is in near fine condition. There is a bit of light rubbing near the tops of front and rear. Pages are clean and very tight. No names or other markings. It shows some of the uses a jeep can be put to.
Overall condition is Near Fine”

Here’s a wooden jeep from Military Mohagany.
” This handcrafted mahogany wood model is an extremely beautiful replica of a World War II Willys jeep with machine gun. Weapon is optional and can be easily removed if desired, it also rotates 360 degrees. Model has an extremely detailed interior with gauges, foot and brake pedal and steering wheel that rotates.
This is not some cheap wood toy, each model takes an average of 18 hrs to complete and is coated with 3 coats of polyurethane for a super high gloss finish. You will not find a better more detailed model than this.
Don’t see what your looking for, feel free to email as I have over 150 different models in stock and please be sure to take a look at the other mahogany models I have listed. All my models are new in box opened only to inspect for any possible damage before shipping.
10″ Length
5″ Width
5.5″ Height”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
I don’t know if this seller has made others or if this is a one-off custom piece.
“Built from the ground up. All steel components to include the drive train and axles. Durable 3/4″ plywood body finished with automotive paint. Honda GZ series gas engine (200cc) for great performance and efficiency. Rechargeable AGM battery for the headlights. Padded leather bench seat with automotive carpeting on interior surfaces and the under carriage finished with undercoating. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was priced at $1700.
You can buy this now for only $1700. I have no idea what these are worth, but I suspect this works as well as the nine inch brakes.
“You are bidding on a R.S. Danforth Mark II 30lbs anchor for the Ford GPA. The center bar is marked “R.S DANFORTH BERKELEY CAL. U.S.A MARK II M 30” on one side and “PATENT NO. 2249546 LBS.” on the other.
When I received the anchor it did not have the rectangular holes cut in the fluke for the hold down straps specifically for the GPA application. It was also missing the botom cross bar. Using an original anchor from my GPA I had the holes precisely machined by a professional shop and the cross-bar cast in bronze.
These anchors are extremely hard to find so don’t miss this rare opportunity to put this ready to go anchor on your GPA. The anchor is in good shape and can be shipped world wide. This is the last extra I have so don’t miss your chance.”
There are 88 pages here. This appears printed especially for the Post Office.

I wasn’t aware of the “Safari Edition” of the CJ-5.
“56 4×4 standard shift 3 sticks 4cyl ran when parked. rare safari edition.”
UPDATE: SOLD!
“Mostly stock and lightly restored Willys 1953 CJ3B for sale. $3,600 OBO
This is the high hood version of the post-WWII Willys civilian jeep.
It has the 4 cylinder 134cu, overhead valve “Hurricane” engine. Compression is good (120, 119, 115, 125). The engine has the original oil bath air filter. The jeep still has the original 6 volt electrical and charging system including starter, generator, coil and lights. All of the fluids have been replaced in the last 6 months. The odometer is working and reads 29,XXX. That may be the true miles, but no guarantee.From what I know of the jeeps history, it’s possible.
The transmission is the T-90 three-speed with the dual stick Dana transfer case. The transmission shifts smoothly and does not drop out of 2nd as is common with these older transmissions.
The body was sanded and sand blasted down to bare metal prior to minor sheet metal repair, priming and painting. The body and bed is painted with TSC Restoration Series “International Harvester Red”. The wheels, windshield and roll bar are painted gloss black. It’s not a high end professional paint job but it’s not a rattle can and paint brush job either. The floorboards are solid, but the hat channels underneath need repair as is common with these old jeeps.
I have the original vacum wipers, but have electrical wipers to replace them. This jeep came stock with out turn signals. I have a turn signal kit that is yet to be installed. Depending on the wheather, I might get out in my tent garage and get that done before long.
It has the original brakes, which do work…like 65 year old 9 inch drum brakes. 🙂
The wheels are original 17 inch; painted black and the tires are Maxxis and have about 25-30% tread left.
The seats are original stock and were upholstered at one time in the past with black vinyl. They still look pretty decent. There are no back seats. A new black bikini top is included. Also included is an older black vinyl BesTop brand full soft top and doors. The full top is about 20 years old and needs some seams repaired, but the vinyl, windows and zippers are OK.
I bought it in Georgia where they don’t issue titles for vehicles this old. I’ve taken it to the NC Dept of motor vehicles and they have inspected it and certified the VIN and that it isn’t stolen and I have the paper work to send to the state to have a NC tile issued. I will work with the buyer to get the title if needed. I have the jeep registered, tagged and insured currently.
This looks like it could use some polish.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,900.
(09/25/2012) It’s not glossy, but looks good.
“1949 Willys Jeep CJ-3A. 100% restored with original 4cyl motor. Have receipts for all parts and Owners manual. Starts and runs absolutely perfect. Everyone who sees it says, “I want one of those” my reply is who doesn’t? Not many like this around. Only selling because of funds needed for business.”
I’m sure I have posted this one before, but I couldn’t find it . . . nice looking rig.
“PROJECT NOT RUNNING BUT VERY COMPLETE PACKAGE. STORED FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS.
V-8 Aluminum Block Either Buick or Pontiac Version. Stick Shift with Twin Stick 4 Wheel Drive. Very solid tub not your everyday rust bucket. New Best top Soft top and doors Complete. Nice full set of Super Swampers on Aluminum Rims, New Upholstered High Back Bucket Seats and Rear Bench Seat Complete, Nice Full Set of Guages & Brand New Painless Wiring Kit with New Fuse Block Panel, New Heater Box Assembly Under Dash, Tilt Steering Column Installed, Heavy Duty 6 Point Roll Cage, The Trailer is a Custom Built Drop Pocket Jeep Fitted Trailer. Very Well Built and Tows Great because it is low to the ground.
JUST THOSE ITEMS ARE ALMOST $7,000 IN COST. Again the motor has sat for almost 10 years expect to go through it properly, it is still a project at this point. The front of the frame was extended to accomodate longer springs and a better ride as well as a winch pocket in front of the radiator. Was working on a spring over lift conversion, so minor steering issues need finished prior to driving.
Asking $9,995 O.B.O. Possible Part Trade”

Kevin’s wrote me the other day to tell me about some of his videos. He’s got a variety of PTO related videos, including one of his FC operating this neat wood splitter. Just don’t get your hands caught in it! You can see a listing of all Kevin’s videos here.
Craig just posted a good article about a FC-150 Fire Truck an Austrian owner shared with him.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Anyone seen one of these toys in person?
“This toy is in excellent condition. It comes with all parts for the Jeep as well as extra parts for all other builds available. All parts are in great condition including the wrench. Take it apart and build something else! Looks like a wooden erector set!
This item is only the wooden pieces. No box is included. No instructions are included. It will be shipped in the form of the Jeep pictured with the extra wooden pieces. If buyer wood like I can dismantle the toy and ship in pieces.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
This looks like a nice rig with a good motor.

Buz spotted this M-170. No description included. I’ve never used the Proxibid Auction site.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,900.
This looks like a time machine that would take me back to the 1950s.
” Representing the perfect car for the Islands, Beach house, or just traveling on the coastal roads, this 1949 Willy’s Jeepster is both unique and fun.
Powered by a overhead valve four cylinder engine, coupled to a three speed manual transmission with overdrive, it is quite spry and cruises nicely at highway speeds.
Limited numbers of this year were produced, resulting in their somewhat scarcity and adding to their collectibility.
Representing a older restoration with very nice seating, its a driver quality car. Everything works and the engine and transmission perform flawlessly with no unusual noises or smoke. Additionally it is fitted with a new convertible top and boot. Approximately 70K miles.
Certainly a great vintage, classic, antique and collectible car to own and drive. Additionally a great investment car.
Fully serviced with fresh oils, new battery etc…”
