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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .
It’s not perfectly stock, but appears in good shape from the pics.
“Rare 1946 Wiilys Jeep, CJ2A, with shift on the steering column. Runs good and is a great restoration project for someone who wants to own a piece of history. Front wheel lockout hubs. Tow bar for taking it out to the trails for a lot of fun. Check the pictures out to see what it looks like. More pictures available via email. The price is firm.”

The seller notes this “Just needs minor finish work”!?! At least the winch looks valuable. This was for sale back in April, 2009, though at that time it had no motor or tranny.
“1948 cj2a willys jeep with 83 ford 4 cly motor runs good, 6000# winch , just needs some minor finish work asking $1,600. Can be seen at 22330 willamina creek road in willamina.”

This might be a good price, especially if you already have an extra radiator.
“1957 4 X 4 Willys Jeep pickup, straight 6 cylinder engine. This would be a great restoration vehicle, lots of parts available. The engine starts and runs; it does need a new radiator. I bought it for a desert runner, however, I found a CJ2A don’t need both. $600.00 . Will trade for a trailer big enough for a Jeep CJ. I can be contacted on my cell 602-321-4379, the vehicle is located near Gilbert and Broadway in Mesa.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s a nicely done restoration using a S-10 Chassis. Also interesting is the effect of painting the tines of the grille a different color from the body paint.
“You are looking at an excellent example of old looks and new drivability. A 1955 Jeep Pick Up on an S-10 4X4 chassis. This can be used as a daily driver, then tak it to shows and come home with a trophy. The Willys can be driven anywhere, so fly in and drive her home. 4.3 Chevy V6 with throttle body FI. 5 Speed tranny for good gas mileage. 15 American Racing wheels. The truck need nothing to run her down the road. No titles in Maine so bill of sale and transfer Maine Registration. May end at any time.”
UPDATE: Was $2500. **SOLD**
(07/17/2010) Looks like a reasonable price.
“1951 Willys Jeep $ 2,500.00. I think its a CJ3A. Runs and drives. New tires, clutch, & master cyl. Needs TLC.”
Well, it might be more marketing than history, but it’s interesting none-the-less. Here’s a look at the early toyota AK-10 & BJ.
While looking for a clean example of the Willys Overland script, I came across an auto-created page, a page of complete jibberish that attempts to make the owner money by getting hits and advertising google and craigslist ads (therefore, I won’t provide a link). However, on this same page I found this odd CJ-5. It looks like the picture is somewhere in southern Utah. Anyone seen this elsewhere?
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600

It’s dirty and there’s a dent in the left rear corner, but otherwise it looks solid.
