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 .
This doesn’t run. It apears to have some rust along the side of it.
“I have a 1951 Willys Jeep for sale. It does NOT run. It has the original flathead 4 cylinder motor. Manual transmission. 4 wheel drive. Half cab with doors are included. Would make a great project! Interesting trades considered. Asking $1750 No e-mails”
The pictures show the jeep is all together, but from the seller’s comments I think it is still apart?
“I have a 52 Willys Jeep Started restoration but never finished. It has a Ford V 6, Holly two Barrel, Hooker Headers, MSD ignition,new bucket seats, after market dash, Just to much to list. Come take a look you will be astounded on how great it looks for a 52 A light rust spot on the right rear corner panel. Had it the last 20 years never Sat out side always in my garage. Topper is in perfect condition. Please Contact me at (303)978-1083 Will not respond to E Mails so don’t try. Mark”
Needs new rear axle. Otherwise, doesnt’ sound like a bad price. I think this is a CJ-3A (NOT A CJ-1.. lol)
“it has a fully rebuilt v-6 in it with brand new cooper all-terrain tires levaling kit,good paint job,new bucket seats,roll bar,all new wireing,runs perfect,the bad is that it needs a new rear axle but othee than that it is in very good condition for it’s age, thanks danny 541-855-1473”
This appears in pretty good stock shape. There’s a few small dings, but nothing obvious appears wrong.
“1951 Willys CJ3A original body rust free California vehicle. 95k miles some restoration has been done runs and drives well has never seen a New England winter always garaged $5000.00, exceptional condition Call Jim at 603-765-6905”
It appears there’s been a good deal of work done on it.
“This is a early 1950’s Willys Jeep with almost complete restoration. The jeep was stripped to the frame and rebuilt from the ground up. It just needs a few things to finish (radiator,wiring,seats). This was my project 4 years ago and just do not have time to finish it. Please email me at hand@my180.net”
UPDATE: This was $85,000 for the whole collection. I have found some related craigslist ads. See them below.
I’ve found a couple references to the sale of this collection. Anyone know more? Based on the pic to the right, these don’t appear in great condition. My guess is that this is over priced.
Here’s a link to Hemmings that reads “WILLYS: elderly WW II veteran has vintage Jeep collection, 40s-60s, both military and civilian, must sell, best offer.”
======================
CRAIGSLIST ADS RELATED TO ABOVE:
1946 CJ-2A $4995
This one looks perfectly find. The price doesn’t seem that outrageous.
“1946 Willys C-J2A spruce green all original condition, partially restored with new canvas removable top – runs and drives – $4,995”
1948 CJ-2A $11,500
This one doesn’t look like it is in great condition. There’s no reason to think it is worth $11,500.
“1948 Willys C-J2A signal red fully restored and in great condition – $11,500– Firm”
The seller says the winch is a PTO, but that looks like a Warn winch to me? Looks like some rust in the steps.
“either a cj2a or cj3a, has artic top, everything seems to be original. motor looks rebuilt. its been in the family for 12 years. has what i think is called an artic top, has pto winch.have title, email with any questions”
That roll bar just isn’t working for me. I’m a sucker for the old slot aluminum rims, as many of you know.
“Nice old Jeep, lots of work done, needs a little more… Can’t get all the pics to load, come by & see it at 6653 Mallard St, San Diego, Ca 92114. (619) 264-1940”
I suspect this seller won’t get any bids with a starting price of $2900. The jeep appears pretty stock, but pictures reveal this jeep is a bit rough.
“THIS AUCTION IS FOR ONE 1950 WILLYS CJ 3A JEEP. I HAVE OWNED THIS JEEP SINCE 1976 AND AM THE SECOND OWNER. THE MOTOR WAS REBUILT IN 1975 JUST BEFORE I BOUGHT IT. IT HAS A NEW BLOCK. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL FLAT HEAD 4 CYLINDER. EVERYTHING IS ORIGINAL EXCEPT FOR THESE THINGS. I CHANGED OUT THE HUBS WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT. THEY ARE WARN TURN IN/OUT TYPE HUBS. THE WHEELS ARE ORIGINAL BUT TIRES ARE OBVIOUSLY DIFFERENT. THERE WAS A HITCH ON THE BACK AND I LEFT IT THERE. THERE IS STILL A 2 POINT FRONT RECEIVER THAT ALLOWS IT TO BE TOWED WITH A TOW BAR….”
