About eWillys
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.
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 .
This looks like it has been stored for 30 years. This might be in pretty decent shape.

This runs and drives, but needs some restoration. This may make a good project.
“Offering for sale my 1956 Willys CJ3B Jeep. I have too many projects and this one need a new home. It is a candidate for restoration as it has not been customized and has all factory parts. 6.50 X 16 inch mud grips in good shape. Jeep starts and runs fine. Four cylinder F head -134 engine is strong – NO SMOKE, NO LEAKS. 5:38 ratio axles so this is not a freeway jeep. New fuel tank, clutch, starter and flywheel ring gear. The transmission has been rebuilt and has about 20 miles on it. The seats are original and in good shape due to the metal cab. Cab has excellent glass, door glasses roll up/down. Cab was built by Koenig Iron Works (Houston, TX). and is solid. Jeep has surface rust and some rust in traditional places. Steering is good with minimal play. Heater, headlights and gauges all work. Converted to 12V with one wire Delco alternator. Brakes will need some work to make it safe to drive. This would make a great hunting (keep you and your equipment dry) or a great ranch jeep. I will give you a BILL OF SALE and am asking $2500 CASH to make this deal.

Mark has someone post this Mahindra at Sellajeep.com. I know there are a few Indian readers out there.

(06/14/2011) “I have a 46 CJ2A column shift for sale. Jeep has PTO with flat belt drive. S/N 16965. I really hate to part with this jeep but it’s time. It does need some work.”
Brian forwarded these videos. What he was hoping they might stimulate are some comments about what might have been done differently . Of course, it would be easy to poke fun at the driver’s, but in some cases they might not have known better. So, maybe with some videos like this we can generate some teachable moments.
So, for example, Brian pondered the following contributing factors to the below accident:
(a) Lack of concern and respect of the trail leading to no trail spotter?
(b) Driver failing to understand center of gravity of Jeep ~VS~ gravity.
(c) Failing to recognize trail surface was equal to ball-bearings.
(d) The jeep seemed to be holding the hill before reversing. Driver failed to place jeep in revers and power out. (Related all above)
If you find a non-racing, non-stupidity-drinking back yard yahoo video, just guys/gals on the trail with factors that lead to misfortune, email it to me at d@ewillys.com.
Brian also shared this one, which demonstrates that even the woman running the camera knew this wasn’t a good idea.
“This is a VEC very early 1946 Willys CJ2A 170## . It has the 4 cyl flathead that runs very well. I also has the early 3 speed coulmn shift tranny that shifts fine.
