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: UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Price dropped to $1500. Might be a good price if the body is solid.
This has a bobcat hood and looks to be extended similar to CJ-2As. It wouldn’t surprise me to learn that this was originally a Washington State jeep.
“1948 Willys Jeep, V8 Ford 351w, manual transmission, power steering, does not run – electrical problem
$2000 or best offer”
351 Windsor, imho; the best old school small block Ford V8 ever. Something going on with the front axle; the shocks are at an angle and the hubs look a little big. 3/4 ton axle maybe? Hard to tell from one pic.
Dave;
What’s the story on these extended flatties? Was there some company doing a “factory” modification or are they all custom jobs by individuals?
Chuck,
Around the start of eWillys I noticed a cluster of these extended jeeps for sale around the Spokane area. One (or two?) of these had dates plates altered to read CJ-2L. After some research, I came upon a CJ-2A forum post where someone noted that a dealer in Spokane had been altering CJ-2As, lengthening them. So, I’ve done my best to mark these over the years (http://www.ewillys.com/tag/cj-2l/).
All that said, I’ve never been able to document the dealer involved in this nor any direct evidence other than the jeeps themselves.
Hey Chuck I’ve seen a few extended CJ2As from California that appeared aftermarket extensions but it was just added on where the rearend would normally be and uses the stock tailgate. These were not bolt on extensions and the frame rails were extended. Might have been a local shop doing it.
Lol “Super Jeep” getting air loaded with ten soldiers!
Thanks, Dave and Peter for the info. I kinda like this Jeep, but Alaska? And I don’t think the turning radius on these long wheel base CJ-2L’s with a 25 or 27 Dana front axle would be very good.
Chuck, on the bright side, Alaska is large enough to accommodate wide turning vehicles 🙂
Lol! – that’s why it needs to stay in Alaska! But I can’t help but think the potential as a rock crawler this has.
