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 .
“I’m selling my 1948 Willys CJ-2A. It’s been a fun project but it’s taking more time than I have to offer. The Willy’s comes with about 1500 in new parts (I already installed all the suspension components). New gas tank, shifter, throttle cables, fuel lines, carb kit, distributor, air cleaner, fuel pump and many, many other parts.
The transmission is missing gears, but I’ve got the body so you can hopefully recoup that core charge.”

Canadians Kurt Luchia and his father Perry, who was suffering from Parkinson’s, rebuilt a 1956 CJ-3B. This past summer (2018) Kurt drove it from Melfort to Moose Jaw, Canada (355 KM), to raise $3550 for Parkinson’s research. You can read the article here:
Jim shared this magazine advertisement featured in the August 1973 issue of Four Wheeler Magazine.
For comparison, two years earlier, in 1971, this ad below was published in PNW4WDA Region 1 directory.
A 1970 Four Wheeler article that introduced the Bobcat body to folks outside the Pacific Northwest featured this logo, which was used in both ads above.
I think this is the first truck on a later model Jeep chassis that I’ve seen. Appears to have worked pretty well.
