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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .

Thanks go to Deborah for letting me know that April 4th is officially Jeep 4×4 Day (in the US).
According to http://www.nationaldaycalendar.com/jeep-4×4-day-april-4/: “JEEP 4X4 DAY On 4/4, Jeep 4×4 Day launches us into adventure! Fresh air and warmer temperatures lure us outdoors, and what better way to experience the thrill of an excursion than in a Jeep 4×4.”
As wonderful as this sounds, Jeep shares this “special” day of April 4th with several other honorees, because April 4th is also:
Paul’s continuing to make progress on his trailer.
I can’t remember if I explained about the lunette thread damage and what it took to get it repaired so here’s the brief story. Before I began disassembly of my M100 trailer I liberally sprayed all the fasteners with penetrating oil numerous times in hopes of easing the removal process. Most of the nuts and bolts unscrewed with normal effort (including the castle nut on the lunette) but I was disappointed to see some of the threads on the lunette were damaged by the nut when things came apart.
Once the lunette was cleaned and bead blasted I took it to a local machine shop to see what could be done to repair or replace the damaged threads. Because I didn’t know if the lunette was cast or forged the machinist said welding was out of the question and suggested I just buy a replacement lunette. I returned home and made numerous phone calls to military parts sellers, Jeep parts sellers and anyone else I thought might possibly have an M100 lunette for sale. Not only did I come up with a big fat nothing for a replacement lunette I also learned these things are harder to find than unicorns. I made a trip back to the machine shop and had another conversation with the talented folks about the lack of replacement lunettes before we brainstormed about the possibility of thread repairs.
After I answered all their questions about the M100 trailer weight, load capacity and the type of use it will be subjected to a solution was suggested. The plan was to carefully remove the damaged threads and then cut new threads on the slightly smaller diameter of the lunette. The thread pitch would be an uncommon type so they would have to make a castle nut of the correct diameter with matching threads but very little strength would be lost with this repair. I wanted one change made with their repair plan, instead of making one castle nut I wanted them to make four nuts. That way if I ever lost or damaged a special nut I’d have spare nuts on hand.
The attached photo shows the thread damage on the lunette, the focus is poor but the missing threads are still visible.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $16,000.
Looks nice.
“I am selling or trading my 1953 Willys Jeep Resto Mod.
This Jeep has too many modifications and I do not want to look foolish trying to explain them all. If you are a Jeep enthusiast you will know what parts are on it and you will know that this resto mod has been very well done.
It is not perfect but it is close.
Paint is good but the hood could use reshooting and there are some chips here and there but I think it gives it character. Still looks great going down the road though.
It needs the driver front blinker rewired. I am no Mechanic and did not want to mess it up trying to fix it.
This car does not have A/C but it does have heat that works very well. If you want to install an A/C I am sure you could but I simply take the top off.
It has the full soft top and doors but it also has the bikini top which is not shown in pics but will come with.
This Jeep has not been off roading yet since the rebuild but I have been getting tempted. It does have 4×4 that works as supposed to but aren’t all Jeeps.
This Jeeps top speed is recommended at 60 mph. It can go faster but is not safe. It cruises very nice at 60 however.
So far as a trade…text me pics of what you have but it must be worth my asking price. Not willing to put money on top on my end but you are more than welcome to. Only trading for other cars period. Absolutely no guns or boats.”
Runs and drives.
