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 .
Lots of work needed on this one. Snow plow included.
“Believed to be a 1952, but defiantly a CJ3A, not running but in repairable/restorable condition. Comes with a Snow Plow, pump and frame.
The jeep is 85% complete, just missing the seats, spare tire carrier and spare. Some body repair appears to have been done in the past. Includes a box of additional used parts.
No Title, sold as-is, no warranties. $1250.00 OBO.”
Seller describes this as a “Korean War original”, but it is clearly civilian.
“Must see this old soldier. Korean War original. Complete mechanical refurbishment. Stored indoors with TLC. New STP tires and original exterior and interior paint.”
(04/15/2017) Ran six months ago. Listed as a ’48, but looks like a CJ-3A.
“1948 jeep Willys. Very original. The last time the jeep ran was back in October and just needs a tune up. The body on it does need some work but all original. Also Comes with the cab and side doors. Will need a front driveshaft to drive in 4wd. But still drives in 2wd.”
