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. 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.
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 .

(10/27/2009) This jeep sports a Volvo engine, which is certainly unusual. This has been available since last July (when it was priced at $10k).

“1948 Willys Jeep runs and drives great. Most of the underneath has been redone and is new including springs, shocks, tie rods, etc. at a cost of about $2500. The body has been rhino lined inside and out and does not look bad with no rust. Problem with the rhino lining is they also did the dash and other areas that probably should not have been done and although very well protected it would look better if it had not been done.
The transmission and drive train I am pretty sure are original.
One of the amazing parts of the Willys is the engine which has been replaced with Ford 5.0L, 302ci with a Carter ASM 750 CFM Carburetor. The block shows it is a 69-73 before they were detuned and compression lowered when a muscle car was still a muscle car. Yes it runs excellent and will easily smoke all four tires if you want.
Things left to do are some electrical, gauges etc. which are all good just need to be hooked up (not hard and I may do that before it is sold). Also still has more play in the wheel than I want which is coming from the steering gear box since everything else has pretty much been replaced.”
(12/12/2010) Here’s a CJ-2A worth a closer look. The windshield also looks a little unusual. Based on the pics at the bottom, I’d guess this was an aftermarket extension (rather than a custom job).
