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 .
“5 Willys Jeep 16 x 4 1/2 Wheels . All are very straight with no major dents or dings. One is a little rusty on the inside but nothing major. Can deliver to GF and maybe Kal and Helena. Prefer Calls. May not respond if it looks like a scam.”
“This is a collection of N.O.S. Willys body parts gathered over a 30 year period. It has a full set of floor pans, all four quarters including attached wheel housings in rear. It has a new toolbox with lid, and the rear floor pan has the cross member factory attached. I am also including in the sale, a donor Jeep with a straight clean frame and most parts needed to build a show quality restoration. The Jeep can be seen by appointment 10 miles east of Hershey, PA. Please email me if interested and thanks for looking.”
“1948 CJ2a Jeep. 3 speed trans, 4 cycle original motor. Good condition mechanically, needs body TLC. no major rust. I have army green spec paint 1 gal for it. Have done much work on it. New battery, oil filter assembly, radiator, gas tank sending unit, thermostat, ignition switch, temp gauge, fuel pump(w/glass dome), water pump. Jeep has 11 dumps instead of 9 inch, better stopping ability, brakes were recently done. New spec steering wheel. No emergency brake though. I have a roll bar for it and the original radiator (no leaks) and parts. Seats are not original but are comfortable. It seems the transmission may have be rebuilt as well as the motor. No smoking on the motor and the trans is solid. I need the room so the jeep has to go.”
(11/14/2019) It looks in nice shape. Not a perfect restoration, but a good refurb. It looks like the front frame horns weren’t replaced as part of the restoration.
“Needs brakes and title.I can only guess why no titleVin tag screws on and is missing .As far as research online tells me its a 48 willys CJ2A only about 5k were made in 1948.134 4 banger runs im still messing with the fuel system but has a newer fuel tank.Trans Transfer case and diffs seem ok everything is hooked up to move under its own power but I have not messed with the brakes yet which im sure have dried out,NAPA still has parts for it.i have not tried to drive it yet.Little rust under the seats gauges work but speedo is gone.New 31 10.50 15 mud tires and original 16 inch wheels and tube tires can go too.it was a barn find and had been sitting for a very ling time and is very original parts wise.I can help set up a tow bar if you buy one itHarbor freight has them cheap.
Just testing the waters don’t have to sell.$1500 is firm.Might trade for something interesting that need a battery.”
“I’m physically unable to continue working on this intriguing project. It needs some work on the front wheels (leakage) and the seats and those small things that are “never done until you sell it.”
I’m ready to be done.
