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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1300
I’d like to take a closer look at this one. I suspect this might be an ambulance or troop carrier of some kind.
“1948 willys jeep with a Ford bronco v6 engine. Was running and being used when an axle broke. Has been parked since, about 10 years. Comes with lots of extras including tranfer cases, transmissions, a hard and a soft top, blade hardware and odds and ends.”
I can’t tell if this is a road ready jeep or still a project, though I think it’s the latter.
“I have a 1948 Willys CJ-2A civilian Jeep. The Willys is a project meant for that one person that has the time and passion to work on it. I myself have spent endless amounts of time,money and passion into it. Due to college expenses I do need to sell it, I will only sell it locally and if you are out of state I would love to make arrangenents to conclude a deal here at my home. I do have a pink slip in hand. I have done alterations to the jeep myself here is a brief list:….”
**SOLD** Was $950.
“This is a 1948 Willys Jeep CJ. It ran good when it was parked about 4 years ago, not running now. Good start on an early Willys. I will deliver for free in the Albuquerque/Rio Rancho area. Body is pretty good and floors are decent too. All there and has title. It is a project and will need some work. Upcoming out of state move forces sale. $950”
It looks like this jeep received a makeover at some point. If you like green flames, you’ll really like the hood.
“Have a 1946 Willies CJ2A jeep. New tires, New Top, 3 speed tran, 225 Buick Motor, 4 barrel carb”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“Up for auction is a 1946 Jeep Willys CJ 2A. The vehicle is mostly original except for the engine, which is a fuel injected Chevy V6 out of an S10 pickup. The engine probably has less than 50,000 miles on it, but I dont know for sure. The frame is straight and the body is in pretty rough shape in my opinion, although not bad for its for its age, has some rust spots, nothing all the way through, and has also had some paint and body work as well, which I did myself, so its not perfect….”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was on eBay
“I went to great lengths to get this Jeep back to what it would have looked like after a few years in it’s original job. The Jeep was painted it’s true color – Normandy Blue and the wheels are Sunset Red – more of an orange – which is their original color. This Jeep towed planes and helicopters, plowed snow, and was a mobile airplane mechanics toolbox at the Akron – Canton airport. In recognition of that, I left the big channel front bumper and the custom “towing tab” on the bumper. I also instructed the body man to leave the dents in the bed – I wanted some of the patina ( I now wish I’d just had him fix the dents, I think)….”
UPDATE: Last listed in 2009. The bumper appears Surreyish.
(07/13/2009) This has been family owned for it’s entire life.
