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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500
No stock, but looks solid.
“This is a 1948 CJ2A that had a new all steel replacement body put on it some thirty years ago. This body has NO RUST and never did. This body is a copy of the sought after M38 military Jeep. It is currently on the road. To many new parts to list. I do not negotiate price by email or over the phone. Please don’t ask if I will take less unless you have seen the Jeep and have the money ready to back your offer.”
I don’t like the idea of an 8 volt battery in a Jeep (or anything else for that matter). They work ok (sort of) in an old tractor with no lights and a fixed output generator (i.e. Ford 2n or 9n), but trying to use one with a regulated generator isn’t a good idea. To keep the battery charged you have to tweak the regulator (an 8-volt battery at 7.2 volts-the set point for a 6-volt regulator-is effectively discharged) beyond what is was designed for. While this will usually work short-term, I have never had any long term luck doing this (for the customer who won’t listen).The regulator will fail in short order. Furthermore, if you do get the system to charge the battery properly (~9.4 volts) your 6-volt light bulbs will readily burn out and I have never seen any 8-volt bulbs…There’s absolutely no reason that the 6-volt system can’t be made to function as intended (other than someone’s personal inability).
Very interesting! I haven’t ever worked with a 6 or 8 volt battery nor the 6 volt system, so this was something I didn’t know. I have seen several sellers mention they had 8 volt batteries in their 6 volt jeeps, but never thought anything of it.
Thanks!
