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 .

“None of these frames have an associated title, and they will need work.
1947 CJ2A Frame – Coated in red frame primer. The front horns are pretty rough, bubba welding around the crosstube and around added pieces, but nothing a competent welder cant fix. Looks like it had a plow put on it at some point. Rear half is fairly solid with the stock draw bar and bumper.
1946 CJ2A Frame – Black paint. Ok shape with a decent custom front bumper and winchplate. A few repairs and cuts. Notably around the front springs rear pivot (pictured).
CJ3A Frame – Under the grey body (which is also for sale – $100). Great frame aside from a single bad patch of rust about 10 inches long just behind the front spring pivot. It was stored on its side up against a guys barn so it pooled water in that one spot. Otherwise its solid with little rust and no damage or repairs. The front bumper had been replaced by a welded-in tube then the center was cut out.
Half frame – Someone took a torch to this one and the front springs. It has a nice draw-bar on it.”
(01/12/2018) “Restored has Chevy V8 in it 4 speeds manual, overdrive, 5.38 gears, disc brakes up front, 11″ drums back, power steering, dual shocks, does 60 no prob on freeway, but of course not his preferred environment…
Collector plates WA clear title.
Runs and stops really nice, has slanted soft top and bikini top, new seat covers.
Would not consider as a daily driver just because it is a 1953 jeep so not like driving a modern car…”
“Not running… bought to restore and have too many other projects ahead of it. The price of $2500 is firm. Do not make any offers. Everything is there to get it going but do not have any idea what it needs.”
Willys America’s open house is this coming weekend (Saturday July 14th 10am to 4pm). Dan Bowermaster will be leading the caravan from San Francisco to the event in Cazadero. I *thought* I’d be attending it this year with Ann and my daughter Kasia (who is completing an internship in Walnut Creek this summer), but complications forced me to put it off again this year.
Blake is looking for some replacement side panels for a CJ-6 project he has, but can’t located any replacement panels for the 20″ spacer installed into the body. Anyone know of either a template or someone that makes them?
“The Jeep is is great shape for being almost 70 years old. It has a Chevy 350 in it, aftermarket steering, new tires and winch, new seats. This Jeep has the original three speed so it’s just a cruiser on the road. Needs a little love here and there. I would love to trade for something in the Offroad world. Ideally a wrangler or something a little more kid friendly.”
“Runs great. 12volt system. Newer carb, fuel pump, rebuilt starter and new solenoid. Comes with roll cage and a complete enclosure heater.
Will consider best offer.”
