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 .
Listed as a 1948, it’s a 2WD DJ-3A. It looks like the steps might have been altered slightly.
“1948 Jeep Willys. Great condition for it’s age. Has the usual body requirements but in excellent shape for restoration all around. Has clean title on hand and runs. Great car for getting to the beach or around town.”
(09/10/2015) It’s a project, but includes an engine that might have been rebuilt.
“1948 Willy’s CJ2A jeep. This is a project waiting for the right person. Engine is a flat head four cylinder and appears to have been rebuilt. Looks like most everything is there except the seats and radiator. Last driven on the streets in 1984. Transfer case has two levers, one for 2-4 wheel drive, one for high-low range. Very good shape for a vehicle this old. Restore it, build a crawler or just drive it the way it is. Great patina. It is titled as a 1948, no emission requirements like air pumps or catalytic converters. You can put any engine you want under the hood and not have to worry about it. Lock out hubs.”
It’s missing a title. It’s supposed to be completed, but the seller doesn’t have any pics of the completed vehicle.
“For sale as I’m moving a fully restored Military Jeep HAS NO TITLE completer with tons of extras . call me if you have any trades or to see always in shop Has a new motor needs timing set and will be perfect.

I really don’t know what the seller is saying … can anyone translate? No pics provided.
“Selling my willys jeep know what I’m saying? I brought it back with me from Nam its been there for me when it gets ruff ruff like my dawg namean? It has. Buick 231 and edlebrock Carb turbo 350 and serious off road meats. I’m headin out west and would like $5,000 and two mules know what I’m saying.”
The April 1955 issue of Willys News published this photo. It’s a tour jeep truck for the Africa. It seems a little too open to me. Those lions look like they could easily leap inside.

Original post (Mar. 6, 2014) Joe spotted these jeeps in a parking in downtown Florence, AZ. He writes, “I was driving north on the historic main street of old Florence AZ yesterday (about a 6 block drive) when on the left I saw these 4 old Willys jeeps… ALL FOR SALE! (not sure about the red Scrambler there). I have not contacted the seller to find out the story behind wanting to get rid of them.”
