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 .
Elle Decor Magazine, to which I’m sure most of you subscribe, featured Ralph Lauren and his “#1 obsession” a “1951 Willys Jeep”. The ad appeared on page 98. I hate to quibble with a fashionista magazine like Elle, but I’m pretty sure that man is sporting a CJ-2A and not a 1951 jeep of any kind. (See link here http://www.elledecor.com/celebrity-style/shortlist/ralph-lauren?click=main_sr#slide-1 the ’51 comment is mentioned on slide 2)
We are heading out for a few more days of camping. This time we are heading into eastern Oregon. I don’t know if we will have broadband access or not, so I’ve got posts arrange to appear through Sunday. However, if there is no broadband, I won’t be answering emails.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Great price!
“For sale is my 1947 Willy’s CJ-2A. Routinely maintained by myself for almost 20 years. Newer wiring harness. Solex carb needs tweaking. Brake system needs some attention. Transmission slips out of gear occasionally. Runs well and fun to drive. 4WD works. Forever plates. Includes older soft top and soft doors. Tires in great shape. Cash deal. No trades. Sold as is-where is.”
No updates today. Updates resume Tuesday. Happy Labor Day!
I’ve been oscillating between chills and a fever all day. So, no updates to the site AND I haven’t checked Tuesday’s emails. I’m improved tonight, so there’s hope for feeling better tomorrow.
UPDATE: Was $3250. **SOLD**
(02/16/2014) Runs, but needs work.
“1948Willys Jeep for sale, this is a running driving project, the jeep runs great and can be driven offroad but needs brake work and a few other odds and ends, the body is rusted and i’m not sure if it’s salvagable but it can be used the way it is, 4×4 works well, transmission works well, it is driven about once a month, call or text with any questions asking $3250 obo. I do not need help selling this.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4200.
Nothing like a wench-equipped jeep.
“Nice old army jeep with wench, top, new seat covers, and rebuilt engine. Has been sitting for a few years but only has a few hundred miles on rebuilt engine. Great for hunters or farm use. Pictures show a spraying system on front which has since been removed. Has been stored in a barn out of the weather.”
UPDATE: Was $1200. **SOLD**
It’s a project that’s listed as a 1951, but looks more like a CJ-2A.
