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 need to get rid of my steel bodied, 1944 Ford Jeep. I originally got it as a project vehicle for rock crawling. When I bought it, it was a hunting rig. It has a Ford 289 V8, adapted to the original 3 speed transmission. There’s virtually no rust. Has stout front and rear bumpers and a tow bar. It’s a perfect vehicle to build exactly how you want it for. Very flexible on price. I am also selling a 3 speed military transmission with transfer case. Make offer(s).”
“Up for sale is a project 1956 Willys panel truck. Have lost interest in it. I started to tear this down and have most of the parts that came with it. Asking $2200 obo. No title only bill of sale. Someone come get this Unique and rare truck”
UPDATE: This was supposed to be published this morning, but I was so tired last night I screwed it up .. so here it is, delayed ….
I’ll have a few updates around 9am PST.
I was busy all day Wednesday on Patterson, then worked until midnight on Alaska Or Rust stuff, so updates will be delayed. Here are some brief updates on Wednesday’s work:
I reinstalled the heater blower switch. Success! All three speeds work.
I’ve half-installed the R&P dual master cylinder mount. Since I’m going to pull the engine anyway, I will wait to finish the installation until after I’ve pulled the engine. It will make doing the brake lines much much easier.
I pulled the rear main on Rusty’s engine and replace the bolts for the flywheel, then reinstalled the rear main and oil pan.
I figured out that Patterson was originally painted either President Red or Cherokee Orange, which looks pretty red.
The seller lists this as a January 13, 1946 photo, but the text on the photo reads 10-13-46.
“This is an original press photo. The old and the new in transportation- a jeep and a horse and buggy- are parked at a curb in Hearst, a lumbering town in Canada. The driver of the buggy had come in from his farm for a week’s supply of groceries. Canada- Series- 1946. Hearst, Canada. Photo measures10.5 x 7.75 inches. Photo is dated 1-13-1946.”
“California Custom Jeepster with 327 Corvette engine and auto trans, Ford 9 in Rear End, Custom gauges and lights Runs and Drives Great! $10,900 or best offer.”
“have: replaced the wheels with correct reproduction units; all new Coker reproduction tires and tubes; replaced all the gauges–fuel, speedo, voltage, oil pressure, temp (mileage is unknown, I have put about 500 miles on the odometer since replacement of original speedometer); all body work done correctly and new paint (sand/olive color, purchased from Quarter Ton and Military in Chickamauga, Georgia); new exhaust/muffler; new transmission main bearings; new solex carburetor; new clutch and throw-out bearing; new fuel sender in gas tank; new bikini top; new electric windshield wiper (driver’s side); new side and rearview mirrors; all new coachmen loops; all new brakes shoes and slave cylinders; rebuilt original horn ($600 dollars if you can find one!); new hood latches and hinge; rebuilt steering box and new steering links/tie rods and ends; new dash placards; new shifter boots; hemp tow rope (on front bumper); new choke cable; etc (sure I’m forgetting some things)!
Everything works as it should (lights, blinker,etc). A blast to drive, lots of comments–especially from envious Wrangler drivers!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** A deposit has been made on it. Was listed at $6500.
Bill’s selling his unrestored GPW. He also has a trailer for sale for $1699 (see pics at bottom).
“Selling my old US Army WWII jeep. It’s a Ford made jeep, complete with lots of F marked parts. Willys was the other manufacturer of WWII jeeps and the MB is very similar. It is not restored and appears to have never been apart other than for some repairs over the years. It needs a full restoration if you want a perfect WWII jeep. As it is I had lots of fun in parades with it back around Y2K. Sure there are extra holes, rusted spots, missing parts here and there, and the gas tank is rotted as is the floor around it. There are four original WWII tires, one of which was used by a modern tire company to remake the molds for the WWII Firestone tires. I wouldn’t recommend driving it home, as you will want to install new tires and look at the brakes before you do any driving around on public roads. It could make a great display in a store, or a wonderful project.
I’m looking for the best offer on this one.. I’ll start at $7999, and won’t take $500. I really don’t want to sell it but the county is forcing my hand. Gotta love those tax appraisers. Its time for someone to give this jeep the home it deserves. I don’t have the funds to do a proper restoration, so I did my best to preserve what was there and doll it up a bit for parades. If you want to get down to the original olive drab Army paint, a lot of it is still there under the krylon spray paint. The blue stripe is an original marking. Continue reading →
“1948 Jeep CJ2A
This is a one of a kind WWII jeep! It’s most likely the only one like it in this area as most of them aren’t fully enclosed. If you want something that’s impossible to drive without smiling, this is for you. I believe its original purpose was for communications equipment during WWII based on a little research I’ve done.
Everything works like new! Ok, that’s a lie, but it does drive down the road. It has working 4 wheel drive and hi/low range that functions correctly. The tires are brand new and have great grip in the mud and woods. It’s almost comical how well it rolls over logs and anything you put in front of it including small trees.
UPDATE: This has a CJ chassis and has a few other non-M-38 elements.
“This thing rolled of the line in 1952. Built for greatness? Absolutely. It runs like a complete champ. This 3-speed manual shifts incredibly. You’re probably thinking “Oh no it’s a stick, but I don’t know how to drive a stick…” If that’s the case, it’s time for you to sack the heck up… Put on your learning pants and let me teach you one of the most essential life lessons you can have as an American citizen.
Don’t worry the tricky stuff has already been done on this bad to the bone 1952 Willy’s M38 Military Jeep. The tranny has been rebuilt with all new gears. As usual, I’m writing slowly because I know you can’t read fast… Motor was completed prior to me purchasing. While, I’m unsure of how many miles are this thing, I’m sure it’s got some memories. Some of the gauges are working, some are not. Which is pretty common for an almost 70 year old vehicle! I have installed a new alternator, 12 volt battery, and have changed all the bulbs. I do have the old 6 volt generator which will go with it. Continue reading →
“Beautiful 1950 Willys Overland panel track. This baby has an 8 inch chop, three murals, Fountain 400 transmission, 327 with all of the extras, and a single shot of nitrous.”
