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 .
As the seller notes, this will need a lot of work and cash to run again.
“1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep Barn Find (Sorry, I had the year wrong on the previous posting.) No title-to be sold on Bill of Sale for restoration or parts. Cannot verify but was told that the engine had been rebuilt?? Needs a lot to be driven again, but could make someone a challenging project.”
“Purchased last year to be restored but just don’t have the time. New starter installed. Original color was green but has been painted blue. Does have aftermarket power steering. Tires fairly good shape. Has tow bar installed. Has original doors but needs to be refurnished. Does turn over but fuel system and ignition needs to be redone. Serious inquiries only.”
“Original top and racks included, original paint in great condition, leather for seats and tires replaced 10 years ago. In great working order, wonderful for off-roading. Minimal use in last 10 years.”
“I’m selling 5-15″ 5 hole freashly powder coated Willys/Jeep rims. These rims were sandblasted then powder coated red. No tires have been mounted on them since being powder coated.
No low ballers please.”
A reader named Randy used to drive this very jeep. He shares his experience below. Note that the DJ-3A fuel inlet was moved to the side to accommodate the ramp.
These pictures were taken in the spring of 1970 and I am no doubt somewhere on the BOAC VC-10. Or I maybe flying the “bucket truck” in the back of the plane cleaning the lavatories
Randy writes, “After high school I got a job with a company that serviced airlines that didn’t have dedicated ground crews. These airlines had only one or two flights a day at our airport. This employer hired and trained people to service the airplanes just like a fulltime ground crew would. Every “ramp rat” was going to be something else after college except for me. I would learn to fly with the meager pay and get employed using friendships and connections made there.
“Anyway, Butler Aviation had a Jeep Baggage Loader and I would drive it on any mission that came up. Summer and winter or rain or snow, I volunteered to position the belt loader and loved each time I drove it. It wasn’t uncommon to reposition that Jeep from one side of the airport to the other. Four or five miles at a time.
“It was a 4 cylinder, 2-wheel drive, three on the tree with the giant loader and hydraulics attached above the center of gravity. The endless belt loader was fixed in the back and raised and lowered in the front. Had a huge rubber bumper on the front of the belt to prevent damage to the airplanes. It only went about 30 mph but, combined with the unstable loader, it could get scary. We use to fill it up with ramp rats and drive across the airport in the summer and get a nice breeze. But in the winter, I was all by myself.”
“Person or Specific Information: A GI in a medical jeep carrying two wounded American soldiers stops to ask directions during the Korean war in July, 1950. Answering his query is Lt. D.K. Paul of San Francisco, Calif., who had been taking time to shave. (for exact info please mouse over the image caption on the photo to read the exact info if there is info )
