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 .

Greg has the same problem I had when I built my rollcage. I wanted to bend my cage prior to the installation of my top (at the time I didnt’ own a top). Mitch came through with some measurements that saved me. http://www.ewillys.com/2009/10/17/my-build-bending-the-rollcage/
What Greg needs are the measurements from the top of an installed kayline top to the top of the wheel wells so he can accurately bend the roll bar. If anyone could measure that distance, it would be appreciated.
The Polo Fire Department’s Website has nice shots of their Fire Jeep online. According to the website, this is a “1946 Willys Jeep with front mount pump an pull behind water tank. This vehicle is used for small fires at the park and to try to hold ground until Polo Fire arrives on scene from some 6 miles away. They also use it to clean shelters and other structures in the spring.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
The rear of the body looks good. The step might need some work.

“Four-wheel drive Willys Jeep station wagon. It has a 1975 Buick V-6 odd fire engine (approximately 65k miles), a SM465 manual transmission, Dana 18 transfer case, Dana 30 with Power-lock front axles, and a Dana 44 with locker in the rear (axles are 4.10s). The drive train is in good working condition. It is suitable as a daily driver, and for longer trips. It’s a great camping vehicle.
12-volt system with upgraded headlights. It has a custom suspension, with Firestone inflatable air springs, and a towing receiver. All other parts are original, including the seats (all reupholstered), gauges, and wood floor strips. It is a California vehicle, with some rust and dents. The outside has been repainted once. Inside is all original paint. It would make a great project vehicle. Receipts for work done are available.”
This has some rust issues.
“I bought this Jeep to use as my hunting camp vehicle and as a restoration project for me and my son to complete over the summer. My work schedule has changed to 6 days a week, so this vehicle is exactly like it was the day I bought it. This Jeep appears to have the original engine and running gear. I am not an expert on these vehicles by any means, just trying to accurately state what I know about this Jeep.
The transmission is a Hi/Lo range with 3 forward gears and 1 reverse. It has a 4WD shifter and locking front hubs to engage the 4WD system. Overall, the Jeep is about 90% original from what I can tell. There are mud tires on the Jeep now, spare is the original military type tire (very worn). The alternator bracket needs to be aligned to the drive belt (it has obviously been replaced) and the Jeep needs brake lines. There are no brake lines on the Jeep at this time.
Odometer shows 21,000 miles, no way to verify if this is accurate or not. There is another front grill included, military spare tire and wheel, spare tire mount (goes on rear of passenger side), and the original heater assembly. The front bumper looks like it had a winch on it at one time, no winch on it when I bought it. It has a passenger seat that pitches forward to allow access to the rear and to a floor storage area under the passenger seat. There is no rear seat. The tailgate is really rusted and deteriorated on the top edge, would need to be replaced. There is no access hatch door for the rear, so the vehicle is open in the rear above the tailgate. Passenger side door is missing the plexiglass window, driver’s door is missing the door handle.”

UPDATE: Was listed at $3000.
(09/28/2011) It doesn’t run and has no title.
“Willys Jeep–does not run, has no title, great for those collectors who like to rebuild to original condition. Very rare.”
Each of these posters is purchased separately from three separate eBay ads. This unique top is not something I remember seeing. Anyone know anything about it?
UPDATE: Since this model was on ebay, I contacted the museum’s curator to see if the museum was interested. The curator let me know they already had an original (brand new) version of this heater along with the original box at the Ypsilanti Museum.
Josh spotted this ebay ad for an unusual hand crank heater. It is similar to the Stewart Warner Hand Crank Heater, but made by the Ypsilanti Machine and Tool Company. That is the same company that Preston Tucker owned.
“UP FOR AUCTION IS THIS HAND CRANK MILITARY HEATER.. I DONT KNOW FOR SURE BUT THIS MAY BE A STEWART AND WARNER HEATER.THIS MUST HAVE BEEN USED BY THE US AIR FORCE BECAUSE THE TAG ON IT SAYS PROPERTY OF U.S.A.F. I’AM NOT SURE WHAT THIS IS USED FOR..I’VE HEARD MANY DIFFERENT USES FOR IT I JUST CANT SAY FOR SURE WHAT IT WAS USED FOR. IT IS A HAND CRANK HEATER.. THE CRANK STILL CRANKS OVER AND THE GAS TANK HAS NO REAL RUST AND TANK LOOKS ALMOST NEW INSIDE.. I TRIED TO TAKE A PICTURE OF INSIDE OF THE TANK FOR YOU TO SEE. IT DOES BLOW AIR OUT WHEN YOU WIND THE HANDLE. I HAVENT EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS.. I DON’T KNOW IF ITS WWI OR WWII OR LATER..IM SURE SOMEONE ON HERE WILL SEE AND KNOW WHAT IT WAS USED FOR.”
