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 .
Eric spotted this rare Austin Gipsy for sale. This was built after the Champ.
“Great car. These were made to compete with the Land Rover and were used by the British military all over the world. This beauty has some rust issues in the rocker area. The rest of the car is pretty good. The only major dent is from an old elephant hit years ago. The motor is complete and turns by hand. The carb needs to be rebuilt – I have the kit. I also have some points, etc, and a service book. No gas tank or exhaust system. It has sat for many years. One of my plans was to place the body on a Jeep chassis. The tires hold air!!! Look at the pictures. I am serious about selling and am only looking to get $800.00”
Glenn forwarded Eric Walton’s CJ-8 Postal Jeep stories and links website. According to Eric, there were only 230 of these specially made 1984 Scrambler CJ-8 Postal Jeeps produced. As of a few years ago, he estimated that at most 200 remained. You can view a detailed serial number list at jeepheads.com: http://www.jeephead.com/1984_cj8s.htm
Here’s another CJ-8 Alaskan Mail Jeep. This is obviously a project.
“clip from wikipedia: “A full length steel hardtop CJ-8 was made for the Alaskan Postal Service, using right hand drive and automatic transmissions. Instead of the rear tailgate, the steel hardtop utilized a hinged barn door opening to the back. There were only 230 produced and sold in the U.S. It was also widely sold in Venezuela and Australia as the CJ8 Overlander, with small differences including full length rear windows on the Overlander.[38] Steel hardtops used on these postal Scramblers and Overlanders were known as “World Cab” tops.[39]”
If you’re interested, text or call me and we’ll go from there. Yeah its rough and its got “a” motor inside the jeep, just not sure what it is and what all it has. You just need to come look at it. And I need it gone. And I picked a random year because I’m not even sure what it is. No title, buy as is.”
“Real DIFFRENT CJ, used in the military for pulling planes around. Has a 6 cyclinder diesel & automatic. Had a lot of modification done to it,Dana 60 front & back,4:56 gears,lockers,35 spline axles, bigger brakes, high pinion, atlas tranfer case 3:8 twin stick & there more. Would like to trade for a flat fender,corvette or some kind of muscle car. Woul take offers to. Jeep. Plow. Muscle car. Corvette pro street. WILLYS.”
“This Jeep was built by “East Coast Mini Classics” and was a limited production and is in ” Like New” condition. It is an exact replica built to scale with a 13HP Honda Electric Start Engine w/Hydrostatic drive w/Reverse. It has full lighting package and has many options that make it a special example of a real unit. It can have many uses from fun and parades to working around the yard. If you have anymore questions please call me anytime.”
“1981 Jeep Scrambler CJ8, 6 Cylinder, 4×4, 111K original miles, Runs great. Must see. Have Truck hard top and hard doors for it.. They need new seals and the soft top on it needs to be replaced. “
This popped up during my searches. Looks like an interesting project.
“I am selling the disassembled remains of a real WWII Autocar Halftrack. The rear half that would have once had tank tracks is missing. It comes with the patterns and some 1/4 plate to make replicas of the missing 1/4″ armor. It is missing the flathead 6 cyl engine and transmission. My suggestion is to use it for parts to restore another halftrack, or use the patterns I’ve taken from a WWII White Scout Car to convert it into an armored scout car. The last two photos are so you can see what a restored version of this thing would look like. Keep in mind that its made of simple flat plate and the only body work to be down would be on the front fenders! It comes with about 250 brand new of the very expensive armored bolts that hold the body together.”
Nothing to do with jeeps and not a 4×4, but I thought this Ford Armored F-3 truck was pretty unusual.
“What we have here is a piece of history from perhaps the last days of the “old” west.
This is a postwar, 1947 Ford F-3 armored pickup truck. This is not a conversion or an adaptation, this is a purpose-built armored pickup for hauling something very valuable, though we are not sure exactly what.
The entire cab and doors are wrapped in 1/4″ steel plate. All windows are 5-ply glass measuring over an inch thick each. There are four pistol ports to fend off would-be thieves, and the only way inside the cab is via key – no handles or buttons. There are even instructions posted inside concerning truck rules and the behavior of its operators.
Our first guess is that this truck was used to haul lock-boxes of ore from one of the many mines around the region. The F-3 (1+ ton) designation and the utterly massive stack of spring leaves would indicate that whatever was being hauled was very heavy. And a lack of a tailgate suggests that whatever was being loaded or unloaded was done so via crane.
Our second guess is that it had something to do with the mint and the things of value both coming and going to that location. Denver has had an operating mint since 1906.
Construction is first-rate. The bumpers, bed, and even the rear fenders are made from extremely thick and heavy steel, and much time was put into the craftmanship. Gas welding is done to a very high standard.
Finally, GVW and other markings on the bedsides show that the truck was a part of a “Denver Unit” at some point. What unit – we do not know.
This truck has been sitting in a local collector’s care for the last ten years, and he finally has let it go. Last tagged in 1973. This is an opportunity to own a unique piece of wild-west history.
Condition of the truck is typical of Colorado vehicles – mostly dry, and little rust. There is some rust in the fenders and lower valance. And the floor of the bed shows some rot. Otherwise the truck is extremely solid, and has nothing but surface rust.
The original flathead-8 is long gone but the transmission remains, as does most of the rest of the mechanicals. Sadly the steering column was pinched at some point.
The truck rolls and moves easily.
$4700 or reasonable offer on this unique piece. In twenty years of buying and selling vintage vehicles, I have never had anything like this… everyone wants to talk about this truck!!!
Buz found this well done update of a GAZ. Looks great.
“Great Sunday or Parade car. A modified 1972 Russian Jeep converted to a pick-up. A one of a kind vehicle, recently painted and modified. Many spare parts included. You’ve got to see this to appreciate it. Licensed in Washington as a Collector Vehicle. 2/4 wheel drive with compound low available. This is not a fast vehicle, but it will “climb a tree”. 70 HP 4 cylinder Volga engine, 5 speed manual trans. Runs well. It’s an eye catcher!!!”
“We call her JJ (stands for Japanese Jeep) is a 1975 HJ-38. The ID tag that is on the firewall reads “Manufactured in JAPAN by Mitsubishi Motors Corporation Under License From Jeep Corporation U.S.A. We found this treasure in Montana a few years ago and decided that we just had to have it. She has a 4cyl Mitsubishi gas engine, a 4 speed column shift transmission with a 2 speed transfercase. She has a 44 offset rearend (same as wagoneer quadra-trac), 30 series closed knuckle front end. She is a right hand drive and even has fractory AIR. She is a 4 door with Barn doors on the rear. The grille is the same as a CJ3B except with a Mitsubishi logo and instead of turn signals it has a place for the horns.. The hood is the same as a CJ3B except it says JEEP instead of WILLYS. She does need a new paint job but other then that she looks pretty good. Infact she even has the factory plastic still over the bench part of the back seat. As far as we know she is the only 4 door in the United States. Runs and Does need brakes but they will be fixed when you pick her up”
