“This old military jeep is in excellent condition for a 63 year old vehicle – runs great, but needs some brake work before driving. Bought as a restoration project that never got finished, so the jeep also comes with a lot of parts and extras … (extras listed) ….”
UPDATE: Now listed on eBay for $3800
This has got a fiberglass body.
“4×4 fiberglass body with steel grill hood and windshield frame, flathead 4 cyinder, runs great!, will consider trade or part trade for a full sized p/up with 8 foot bed road worthy. some work needed O.K.”
UPDATE: There were two projects, but it appears now there is only one.
“Willys Jeep Project – CJ3A Tub on a CJ5 frame. Tub is straight, perfect floorboards. Brand new Hurricane 4cyl with T90 trans and T18 Transfer. Dana front and rear. Great Crawler project. For more information call (530) 743-7215 or reply by email. $1000 OBO……?”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,500.
I found this ad interesting because the seller says he got an appraisal of $12,500 from Southern Motors (a car seller?). It appears to be restored, however the pics make some of the parts of the body look a little rough (it could be the pics). The drive train and transmission sound stock to me.
“1948 WILLYS Jeep, 406 CI Motor, 4 BBL, 194 Camelback Early Corvette Heads, 3 Speed Trans, 538 Axle, Completely restored inside and out. Engine and Transmission rebuilt less than 500 miles on rebuild. Lots of power. New LTX Ms Michlin 31 X 10.5 R 15 tires.”
It’s got what appears to be a CJ-3A or 2A grille that has been modified into a CJ-3B grille.
It’s a running CJ-3B for only $1200. It’s worth a look.
“Great hunting vehicle. Has 8000lb ramsey winch, runs good needs a little tuning.”
I spent the day pondering a new design for ewillys. One goal was to get more of a script for the ewillys brand that I could use to create t-shirts, etc with. Also, I wanted to reorganize things a bit. Finally, I want to more tightly incorporate the dynamic areas into the overall design (similar to what I have tested in the current design). NOTE: I haven’t filled in anything in the sidebar, but most of the side bar info on the current design would appear in the sidebar of the new design. click on the pic to get the full effect.
Troy forwarded me this great pic of his son Tyler dragging at the PNW Summer Convention. Tyler is 18 now and Troy writes, “I HAVEN’T HAD TO RIDE WITH HIM AT THE RACES SINCE HE TURNED 16…. I MADE A BIG MISTAKE THIS YEAR AND RODE WITH HIM ON THE X-CROUNTRY…..THE KIDS GOT IT, BUT @#!%&##@ HE SCARES THE HELL OUT ME…LOL.” You can see both the race jeep and troy’s other jeep here. Looks fun!
I didn’t get many specifics on this build, other than it is a barn find that was carefully rebuilt and is located in or near deer park, washington. There are lots of great details on it. Thanks for the pics Michelle!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,000

It appears this frankenstinien CJ-3B ran into an old style apartment radiator.
“I have a willys jeep for sale, I am guessing it’s about a ’52, it comes with a hard-top, it has been converted to a Ford 6 cylinder with 12 volt and HEI ignition”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7995.
Not much specific info about this M-151A1.
“This 1964 Kaiser M151A1 was designed by Ford Motor Co. with guidance for the US Army..s Truck Automotive Command. Development work began in the early 50s and after several years of experimenting with different framing materials as well as suspension options the Willies or Kaiser M151A1 was born … Our mechanic has completed a full inspection of the vehicle and is more than happy to go over it with you.”
This is a good looking rig and, given the upgrades, the price seem good. It looks like it was a club vehicle.

“I’m moving and must sell my classic 1946 Willys. I have replaced the fuel system and part of the oil system in addition to the thermostat. This is a great Jeep that will go anywhere. The prior owner used it to hunt, I have primarily driven it around town and in the foothills. Contact me with any questions. “
While the outside on this looks very good, the engine is frozen. The seller presents a variety of comparison prices to make the case for the price.
“After much agonizing, I’m selling my 1960 Jeep FC170 cabover pickup (flatbed). Good body, presentable interior, nearly new tires. All original running gear: 3-speed, two-speed transfer case, locking hubs. Hurricane 6-cylinder engine is frozen (rod?). Clear title, current license. This will be a very easy restoration for a collector, or can be a real workhorse with either the same engine or with a 350 swap (adapters are available commercially). Why sell it? Running out of time this year, with too many family medical issues to deal with, and enough other 4×4’s that this one isn’t really needed. Call for more info or pictures. ”
“All original with F head motor and spare. Ran a few years ago. Engine smoked but ran good. Comes with top and doors. Jeep is very complete and clean, with little surface rust.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.
This looks in pretty good shape. If it gets running easily, this might be a good deal.
“For Sale–1947 Jeep CJ2A, Original and complete w/ top. Not running, but will run. Pictures on request.”
Here’s an M-38 that’s seen a few trails.
“1952 Willys Jeep for sale runs but has knock all running good no rust”
The poster of this jeep isn’t the seller. I’m not sure if this runs or not.
“1948 willys jeep for sale 1500.00 obo. I am posting this for my father inlaw, I don’t know much about it. please call Al for details. (503) 397 1699”
This looks ready for the trails.

Here’s a poem quickly penned earlier this decade by the girlfriend of a jeep.
Whether at war time
or at peace
Its wonders never cease
It will conquer anything
standing still
That’s a mountain
To a Jeep it’s just a hill
That’s a river
Just a puddle I see
That’s a ditch
Just a pot hole to me
Lockers and tires-37 inch
If that don’t work, use the winch
There’s no stopping this machine
Persistence like this you’ve never seen
So when you think an incline too steep
You might consider owning a Jeep
– jeepfreak’s girlfriend
