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 .
These all seems like good prices.

John shared this 3B. Some vintage lettering is still visible. It’s also got a GOV date plate.

“Original Military contract CJ-3B for parts or restoration. Engine runs strong. Tranny and transfer both good. Front dash and fenders good to restore. Grill is nice also. Rest of body shot. Axles are good. Good candidate for a drop on repro body.
Original Military data tags are still there.
As seen in pics the hood denotes it was used by the town of Ellenburg NY at some point. Likely for plowing. I picked this jeep up along with a few others from an estate in Shelton CT. My focus is on WW2 jeeps and not later models. I will also be listed a 56 CJ5 separately.
Asking price on this 3b reflects the known good F Head engine, tranny, axles, etc. Data tags are pretty cool. Would make a great Vietnam War era build.”
This is a project.

Here’s a unique piece of engine culture that Nick is selling.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/998037391666684/
“This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own perhaps the highest hp Willys F134 head in the world. This was custom designed for swamp buggy racing in Naples, FL. Due to its unoriginal nature, this head was deemed illegal and could not race in the sanctioned event.
Includes:
-Custom made F134 engine head
-Down draft F134 manifold setup
-ARP head studs for the majority of the setup
It features four individual intake runners to feed the engine. Oversized titanium valves. I have video of this setup revving to 7500 rpm.
This engine head feeds necessary air and power to make the most out of the Willys engine. If you want to set the vintage horsepower record, here is your start.
UPDATE: Still Available.
(04/08/2024) These are hard to find vehicles. Not sure if they are easier or harder to get parts for than the Austin Champs. Thanks to TJ for sharing.

“I have 2 Autumn Gipsy’s that I was going to use to make 1 nice one. They are both projects, one has a pretty good body and ran when I put them away, the other has a hard top, and a lot of good parts and pieces the the other one needs. Both are independent suspension. This is just a project that I’m not going to get to. If the ad is up, they are still available. Let’s not waste each other’s time.”
My oldest son is up visiting from Utah for a few days (yeah!). Last weekend he summited Mt. Baker as part of a glaciering class, which gives him some experience on the wet western Washington snow (vs. the dry Utah snow).
RACE JEEP:
On Wednesday we got out the Race Jeep so we could loosen the steering a little (there was a slight bind that I’ve meant to correct for a while). The hope was that the stars would finally align and Ann and I could hit the Moonshiner’s race this weekend in Randall.
However, while driving the race jeep out on Wed I noticed some smoking from the engine (hood was off). We discovered some some oil (a few Tablespoons maybe) had splashed from the front passenger side lower engine corner area (still not sure where), that hit the radiator hose and front pumpkin as we were driving. I cleaned up the oil, but rain and a dead battery (another puzzle, as I have a battery disconnect) forced us to give up the search for the leak.
Later that evening, I looked for leaking oil under the racer, but saw nothing obvious (to me anyway).
On Thursday, the weather improved greatly, so after some chores we got out the racer and idled it, but didn’t see any flash of oil. So, we drove it around some. Once again, we spotted some excess oil on the radiator hose.
After some investigation, we figured out the oil was coming out a bolt hole in the block just above the mechanical fuel pump attachment point. I’m not all that familiar with Chev 350s, but a quick video showed me that a bolt needs to be there, so I don’t know why one isn’t there. Perhaps it fell off?? See pics below:
See top hole … I believe that should have a bolt. So, I’ll try that!
GLASSES UPDATE:
Meanwhile, the company making my new glass lens are still a few days away from shipping them, in part because, due to the prescription, they aren’t sure if they will fit my frames or not .. ugh. So, even without the oil issue, I wouldn’t be able to see the track well enough to race.
So, it all sucks, but such is life.
FC PROGRESS:
As for the FC, more progress was made. I cleaned up and painted the gas pedal linkage, so now it’s ready for installation. I also installed the gauges onto the bottom of the dash. I think the smaller size helps make them look less overwhelming vis-a-vis the dash. On the left side of the dash you might see an aluminum strip, which is a mockup for an angled bracket that will support the fuse box, which will rotate up when not being view (or so that’s the theory).
Located in San Francisco, this sign supposed hung at Sherpa’s Auto Parts. Pretty cool sign. 8′ x 4′
https://www.facebook.com/groups/227689400988963/posts/1857446118013275
“This sign is an awesome addition for any man cave. This sign hung in the Scherba’s Auto Parts Store on 32nd and Taraval Streets in San Francisco’s Sunset District for years before the store closed (currently the store is an O’Reilly’s). The sign is made from wood and is roughly 8 feet long and 4 feet wide.
This features a WWII era Jeep and the words “Military Jeep 1944” below the graphic. The price above is my “I don’t want to sell it” price so low ball offers will just be ignored.
I’m also open to trades of 50’s & 60’s porcelain automotive signs, Jeep grills, or street legal dirt bikes.”
Looks in great shape. No description provided.

“Daily driver. Has a six cylinder engine. Good tires. It’s been a fun project vehicle. Running condition. Being sold as is. Cash only no trades. I will consider reasonable offers.”
This is worth a look. It includes a Koenig hardtop and a PTO winch. It has a few updates, including a heavy duty rear bumper and a steering wheel that I don’t recognize.

Lots of potential here. It also includes the Kelly top with vertical rear doors. It does have a title issue though.

“very solid Kaiser built CJ-5 restoration project, V-6 Dauntless (Buick) engine in running condition, working snowplow, excellent tires, transmission and clutch in working order, new fuel pump and filter, I flushed the fuel tank and lines which are very clean and rust free, recent oil change, other than surface rust there is no rust rot on the vehicle, floor is solid,
it runs and drives, doesn’t smoke, there is a title but it was signed in the wrong places by the previous owner and DMV wants a new title which requires submitting the existing title and a certified vin verification but CSP will not issue a vin verification unless the vehicle is roadworthy meaning all the lights, horn and wipers work, or you could just bond for a new title…
it also needs a battery, the emission air pump is seized and disconnected, the manual choke cable is stuck and needs replaced or lubed, drivers door latch needs a little work, there are some seeping seals and gaskets but the drivetrain seems in solid condition, some play in the steering, brakes work but could use attention, it was purchased new in Steamboat Springs, lifelong Colorado vehicle and sat in a field for a few years when the fuel pump went out, the odometer reads 05336, so I assume it’s rolled over, a great candidate for restoring though it wouldn’t take much to get it basic working condition and plow your drive. Email questions and contact info”
