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 .
“1975 DJ-5 Postal Jeep. THIS IS A TWO WHEEL DRIVE JEEP. Can be converted to four wheel drive. Engine is AMC Inline six cylinder 232 cubic inches. Needs a lot of work, BUT IS SMOG EXEMPT.”
(12/21/2018) This hunting jeep includes a feeder on the back.
“This 1946 Willys Jeep has a new engine that runs great – it was rebuilt a few years ago and has less than 1,000 miles on it. The Jeep also has a Warn winch, brush guard, feeder, solid tires, and a hunting high-seat for 2 persons.”
I stumbled onto the below video of the Bolide XJ-002 after doing some searches based on the post related to the XJ-001. The video is part of a larger All-Par article (see more photos here).
Now I’m wondering if the Parmely body was based originally on this XJ-002 body design. The Parmley looks like it’s a little more practical, convertible version of the XJ-002.
Unlike the XJ-002, which was designed on a Jeepster Commando chassis, the XJ-001 was atop a CJ-5 chassis. The Parmely was also designed to fit a CJ-5 chassis, so its lines couldn’t be as long nor sleek as the XJ-002.
The video isn’t the most compelling piece of work, but it manages to record some unusual history. As of 2010, this vehicle was reportedly undergoing restoration.
This is a press photo of the XJ 001. If you don’t remember, this prototype jeep was built on the CJ-5 chassis and power by the 360CI AMC V-8. Essentially, it was a 4WD muscle car. You can read about the vehicle on Hemmings. Unfortunately, the prototype was destroyed in an accident as it was being transported. The article also indicates some folks called the 1998 Jeepster prototype the ACT II of the XJ-001.
“CJ- 2A Jeep Willy’s for sale. Mostly original. Very clean. Runs great. Waren Wench on the front. Tow bar on front bumper also. Extra set of wheels and tires for quieter smoother street usage. New exhaust system and brake lines. Registered non-op currently. Pink slip in hand. Clean title.”
This appears to have a PTO, a PTO winch and an overdrive. Could be a good price. It also has what is probably a later model (cj-3a/dj-3a) flathead for some reason.
“1962 Willy’s Jeep cj5 according to what I found on the internet. Correct me if I am wrong – pic of Serial number attached. Needs work. Great project. Need it gone ASAP. Make an offer”
“1969 Jeepster one of only 300 made that year . Less than 50,000 miles on the Dauntless v6 Engine runs strong. Needs a top and some tlc but that is why it’s only $2950. If the ad is up it’s available,no pay pal ,face to face transaction only. Email a phone number. Thanks”
