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 .

(06/23/2011) This looks like a classic 70’s Sand Rig.

Now, you probably think I run eWillys because of all the money, fame, babes and glory I receive. Not true! Instead, it is a story like this one that makes the work worthwhile. Nearly two years ago I started swapping emails with 15 year old Chris Ruhnau. He had a mostly stock 1947 CJ-2A and was having problems with some wiring issues. We worked through those issues, brake issues, battery issues, and even a girl issue. Last summer he spotted a CJ-2A just down the road from him, with a full cage and more for only $1000. He couldn’t resist, so at age 16, he was the proud owner of two jeeps. Clearly, he suffered from a case of Willys Sickness.
Over the past winter he spent time working on his jeep and going to high school. This summer, he got everything finished and found his way to his very first PNW event. As you will read, he had a great time. Nice work on the jeep Chris and keep on racing!
“Dave!!! You’ll never believe this! I raced my jeep today! The PNW4WDA put on a race in Ethel, Wa. I raced twice in the obstacle course! It was so much fun. I’ve never had so much fun! In both races I got the same time… 1.61. It was really hard though because it was really soupy. I only had 2 problems, my fan wire shorted out and then my battery died, but those are minor and i still had tons of fun. everyone was coming up to me when I was sitting in line and asking about the jeep and saying it was nice. I felt pretty good about that. A guy i know that races said that he’s going to let me take my jeep to his shop and we’re going to fix my steering and he’s going to give me some brand new rancho shocks so that my fenders and battery box wont rub on the tire so much. The guy that used to be the leader of PNW4WDA asked for my email, too, to let me know when the events schedule so I can race a lot this summer!”
This looks like a good price on a nicely customized rig. Maybe it was even a former ECW4WDA jeep?

“For sale is a custom, long-travel, sand jeep. It was built in 2004 by Larry Minor Motorsports using the finest automotive engineering and expertise available in the off-roading market. It is turn-key ready for Glamis fun.
The vehicle has a small block 430 cubic inch Dart after-market engine and produces 700 hp. It has a Turbo 400 transmission and a Strange Spool 9 inch Ford rear end. The body is full-fiberglass with a chromoly tube frame. It has been molded after a 1946 flat fender Willy’s Jeep.”
According to the post, his is a sand Jeep. It was the annual Mt. Baldy hill climb Spring 09. (Silver Lake State Park.) This thing was wicked. Easily won the class. He could stand it up at will and ride it as long as he wanted. Frickin awesome!”
(07/16/2010) My only question is, why park it facing a tree for pics?

This looks like an old racer. The roll cage alone is worth some money. The engine might be worth $325 if it runs like the seller indicates. The seller also has a set of mounted terra tractor tires for only $150.
“1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep, You can air up the tires, light it on fire & push it down a hill……….but you probably won’t drive this one without a little fine tuning here and there!
It has been converted to a Buick 3.8 V6 engine, but all of the rest of the drive train appears to be original……..Dana 25 in the front…….Dana 30 in the rear.
The tub, firewall and hood have been hacked by someone that shouldn’t be allowed to have any sharp objects. The fenders, grill and frame might be of use to someone, or, you can refer back to my opening line at the top. $325 and it is yours! You could offer me a little less if I appear to be in a good mood.
