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 .
This is a second card sent by Chris. There’s no date on it, but given the Surrey top looks in good shape, I’d guess mid to late 1960s. The Tides Motel, still at the same location, sits in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire. I suspect the jeep is no longer there …
Chris sent this postcard with a Christmas letter. It shows one of the motor pools and Camp Landing. The postcard describes Army life as “busy” and “never a dull moment”. At the end, the author Bob asks how deer hunting was. It’s dated December 8, 1943. Many thanks Chris!
“First time here. I have a CJ5 1960 that is “fresh”. Fiberglass tub and also front clip. So many new parts but everything is new.
Tires, brakes (including nickel lines, Wheel cylinders, Shoes, Stainless flex lines and master cylinder), All Glass, Both seats, Steering wheel, USB Speedometer, plastic 16 gal fuel cell, LED headlights, One wire Alternator, New Carb, New Distributor, new Aluminum radiator, All electrical ( my own DYI), Soft doors on the half cab( I tried), Rough Rider Springs and Shocks (2 1/2 lift). Adorable Half Cab. It has a Satin Red wrap and metal rear corners. This was a “winter project” and I just kept buying new pieces. I am not professional and more of a DYI with a love for cars. It has a “sticky” clutch that seems to work when it wants to. The engine is stock except for the carb, distributor, alternator and radiator. I drove it 60 miles yesterday home from the barn it has been in since finished.”
“1947 Cj2a. Runs and drives but does smoke. No brakes. Body is a bit rough. A few new parts such as fuel pump, fuel tank, carburetor, distributor, etc. NO TITLE. Will consider trades for a good running 4×4 ATV.”
(05/19/2023) RJ is helping sell this customized CJ-2A. Note the engine and dash updates. It also has a convenient flip-down spare tire carrier in the back.
“1947 CJ2a Willy’s Overland Jeep. $5,000 OBO.
Has a 1988 Buick/Olds 3.8 V6 fuel injected engine that was swapped out with a V6 from a 1988 Cutlass Ciera, along with the power steering, steering wheel and possibly the seats. The odometer states approx. 13k miles, but that is NOT accurate. Exact mileage is unknow.
It is connected to a 700R4 automatic tranny and the original transfer case, which appears to have dull shifter sticks, along with the factory Dana 18. It will run but not very well, forward and reverse gears working.
Power brakes and power steering. Stock axles with mile marker hubs. Newer slot mag style wheels, 30-9.50r15 tires that are starting to weather check. Fuel tank and filter were replaced last year.
The body work is starting to show its age but the tub isn’t terrible underneath. A few bubble spots, clear coat fading and paint damage on hood from a tarp. The bondo is about 5/10 on the Rathbone scale. Fenders have been customized as well as the tailgate, it has CJ7 style hinges and latch. Besttop tiger top has a few winters left in it, windows are starting to fog. Custom seats, carpet kit, back seat, radio console, gauge cluster and roll bar inside. Located in Pocatello, ID”
“1953 Cj3a. This little jeep is ready to go. Runs, drives, and stops great. Been on many a trips around town. All lights and gauges work as does the high and low range 4×4. F head engine swap and got a new head gasket last year. Tags current and clear title. Drive it home but don’t expect to go much faster than 50. Asking 6k”
“This is my project Jeep. Body and good shape has a little rust in the normal places. Frame has been sandlasted and painted Comes with a chevy v 6 That has been gone through and new gaskets, A new three fifty automatic transmission, new advanced adapter Transfer case has been gone through… Has all the body parts to put back together”
(09/21/2023) Runs and drives. This has a unique cargo carrier(?) on the hood. The driver’s drain hole looks filled.
“1947 Willys Cj2a. Quite a few new parts, for some reason it wouldn’t let me post them all. You can drive it home. Pm me for list and accessories! New, starter solenoid, fuel pump, carburetor, battery, gas tank, seat frames and cushions, tire chains, jack, etc.”
