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 .
“1947 Jeep Willys civilian frame and many parts. Everything included except motor and tub as we were planning to replace them. First $1000 and a tetanus shot takes it. Can load onto your trailer with my forklift.”
“1950s Jeep pickup has vin doesn’t run or drive transmission in it No title but can get on for $1k extra Have cleaned it up & pulled it out since pictures. Let me know if you want to buy it do not try to haggle down – will let it sit”
“I have two 1947 CJ2A project jeeps with many parts. One has the engine and drove before I started the project. I was going to use both Jeeps to make one fully restored. I also have a 1953 CJ3B that runs great and use around the farm and deer lease. Have the titles to all 3.”
This auction is set of four negatives showing a family and a late model CJ-2A, determined by the stenciling on the tailgate which didn’t appear until around August of 1947.
“HERE ARE FOUR B&W NEGATIVES THAT LOOK LIKE THEY WERE TAKEN ON A FARM. LOOKING AT THE CLOTHES GUESSING 1950’S. ON THE JEEP YOU CAN SEE WILLYS AND 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THESE MEASURE 2 3/8″ X 3 1/2″.”
Chris notes that this photo is reversed, as the spare tire is shown on the driver’s side.
“1948 Ford Tow Truck with a 390 V8, Truck starts and runs. Will make a great Street/Rat Rod with some work or great advertising vehicle Real eye catcher. Asking $8,000. Clean California Title.”
The last image contains some ‘facts’. To the best of my knowledge, there’s no data available regarding how many CJ-6s were exported vs. kept domestically. Then, there’s the Kaiser reference which isn’t quite correct either. 1963 was indeed a pivotal year, marking the move away from Willys branded jeeps. But, by that time, Kaiser interests had owned Willys-Overland assets for almost a decade. Instead, this was a re-branding move, a time to ditch the Willys moniker (and its baggage/identity) in favor of the Jeep brand that saw the introduction of the Full-size Jeep line.
