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 .

“Classic WWII era Jeep Willys CJ 2A up for sale. This Willys has been highly modified with many modern touches.
Drivetrain: The original 4cyl has been replaced with a 1979 Buick 252CI V6 engine that has a torque grid RV cam with a new Holley 4bl 470CFM Truck Avenger carburetor. This carburetor is made for the high angles involved in off roading. It keeps the engine running even when the Jeep is at the tipping point. Engine is also equipped with a AC compressor converted to an Air compressor with a switch on the dash. Exhaust is true duals with flowmaster mufflers. The transmission is a GM turbo 350 3 speed automatic with a 1500rpm low stall converter.

Gas tank restored and relined. Just a few too many projects right now call preferred.

(11/24/2015) This runs and includes a plow. It has an odd mod on the rear wheel wells.
“Who wants a winter project? I’ve stored this vehicle for over 10 years thinking I would fix it up but I just do not have the time or passion for it. It ran when I parked it in the garage although I believe it needs a water pump because it would overheat when ran for a longer length of time. Includes a mount and snowplow that the previous owner used with the vehicle. I need garage space for my wife’s vehicle and do not want to store it any longer. I have the vehicle title. Cash only, $1500 or best offer.”
(11/05/2015) I’ve seen this up close. It’s a solid truck that has potential.
“This is a 1952 Willys flatbed truck. Has a Studebaker v8 engine but does not run. It has dings and scratches and some cracked glass but minimal rust. Has been kept in a barn for the past 25 years.”
This August 4, 1945, article in the Toronto Daily Star shares the story of an overseas soldier mailing home a jeep in pieces. Perhaps more impressive, a second soldier was mailing home an entire dental office.
