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 $1500.
“1950 Willys Jeep, have doors and windshield, all parts are there, includes a ramsey pto winch.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500
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 is a link to another reference at Hemmings, where I found the pic to the right.
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”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
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….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“his is a 3-speed manual transmission 4-wheel drive Willys Jeep. It has a 4 cylinder flat head engine. It has power steering with tilt wheel. It has a radio with cassette player. All lights work, including signals. It has seatbelts. Brakes are good. The tires are 31 X 10.50 – 15, all-terrain, with chrome rims. It has a roll bar & the windshield FOLDS DOWN (see photos). There are chrome steps. also a new steel body. Vehicle has been completely restored, & drives good. Jeep has about 1000 miles since restoring. The jeep has a minor oil leak. No warranty or delivery. Vehicle is located in Pineville, Louisiana. “
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2800. This is a pretty good price I think.
There have been a few minor updates, however it sure looks nicely stock. It would probably restore very nicely.
“1951 jeep willys cj-3a, all original except converted to 12 volt(still have 6 volt generator), and tires and rims. Have soft top from kayline, but needs to have a windshield mount made. runs good and 4×4 works good too. new radiator, windshield, and battery(but needs to be mounted). will need new guages, the speedo and oil pressure guage work though.”
It’s only $1500, it runs and sounds pretty stock. Might be a good value.
“1953 Willys Jeep, Model CJ3A, 4WD, 6 volt system, aluminum cab with plow. No brakes. Owner used to plow driveway. Body has some rust. No pictures available at this time. $1500”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.
This might not be a bad price. It’s worth a look if the body is in as good of shape as advertised. For Northern Exposure fans, Roslyn, Wa, was the real setting for the fictional city of Cicely, Alaska. (Here’s some filming locations)
“This jeep has been used summers at our cabin in Roslyn, put in covered storage in winters. Has newer F head 4 cylinder, rebuilt rearend and brakes, rewired, new battery, tow bar, bikini top, original skinny rims and weathered tires. Runs well, easy to drive, 4 wheel drive shifts and works perfect. Over all good shape, but not perfect by any means, no body rust through at all, some minor cosmetic body rust on the side but that is all. Worked perfect for us going to the beach, exploring gravel roads etc, a ton of fun for the money. Jeep is in Roslyn, can be arranged to be seen most weekends, could be brought to the West side for the right buyer and a deposit.”
