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 .
Looks like a nice relaxing day at the beach.

“This is a 1955 CJ5 that was a project of mine. I have restored the chassis to a rolling frame and have yet to assemble the body. Over time I have wanted to finish this project however I have moved away from it and I have most if not more than all of the pieces to complete it. The Enginge and Trans have been completely disassembled and rebuilt. There are new brakes, e-brake, premium warn locking hubs, shocks,rebuilt carb and starter, also the generator has been replaced with a gm one wire alternator, rebuilt radiator, and this list goes on. I have invested over 4 Thousand dollars into this project and now it must go. Feel free to ask any questions as I will answer them as quickly as possible. Thanks.”

One of the unusual features of this is a tag indicating is was worked on in Japan at an Ordinance rebuild shop.
“This vehicle was found behind a warehouse in February 2010. The owner claimed it had not run over 4 years. I could only find two identification tags on the entire vehicle. One tag located on the engine stated it was rebuilt by the “Japan Ordinance Command”. The other tag was a vin tag from a 1953 M38A1. Based on the body and engine type I am confident it is not an M38A1. I did a title search and obtained a clear title for the vehicle. I do not know the actual year of the vehicle
Mechanical: After rebuilding the carb and fuel pump, I was able to get the jeep started. It ran pretty rough and I determined one of the valves were stuck. Instead of just replacing the bad valve, I decided to tear down the entire engine and send it to a machine shop. The shop ground the rod journals .10 over and mains .20 over. The cylinders were fine so I just put new rings in it. Overall the engine has new bearings, rings, and a few of the valves replaced. The engine has been reinstalled, but there are still several parts that need to be reinstalled. Overall the cost of the rebuild and parts were approximately $800.00. The vehicle still has the stock transmission, transfer case, and axles.
Based on past experience trying to stop an old Willys, I decided to purchase a whole new disk brake and dual master cylinder system. Overall, I spent $600.00 on these parts which include: brake calipers, brake pads, rotors, dual master cylinder, caliper mounting bracket, assorted bolts and hoses. I have not installed or modified the braking system since purchasing the new parts I also purchased a new rebuild kit for the steering box for about $150.00.
Misc: The tub and body parts were covered in a black bed liner when I first purchased the vehicle. I striped most of the bed liner off of the exterior with a wire bell. There is a small rust hole under the drivers side seat that has been patched with steel. The jeep has bias ply stock sized tires with good tread, plus a spare. The jeep comes with some old CJ lowback bucket seats. I also have two gas tanks for the vehicle. One is the military version that I used a restoration kit on to remove the rust and seal it. I also have a new gas cap for the military tank. The second tank is from what I think is a civilian CJ3A.
Reason for selling vehicle: I finally came to the conclusion that my progress on this project over the past two plus years has not been very promising. As much I as I love the idea of restoring a historic military vehicle, I do not have the time or resources to finish it correctly.”
