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 just bought this rare Jeep at an auction then was told I am being “down sized” at work. My loss is your gain. This old Jeep is a barn find, seems to have sat around most of it’s life ,thus the low miles. It’s got the flat head six, three speed & four wheel drive & Jeep factory installed snow plow. The Jeep runs but doesn’t drive due to it needing brake work. It’s not perfect but a great old survivor!”
MIght be a good jeep to drive while restoring back to original.
“1952 M38A1 with the original motor. Runs Great. I had it machined about 12 years ago, including the crankshaft and has less than 1000 miles on the rebuild.
The major parts I replaced include. . .Fuel tank, and tank floor pan. fuel/vacuum pump, seat upholstery, rear seat frame, suspension, brake calipers and pads, carb rebuild kit, clutch, muffler, horn, turn signal added, jerry can and holder, spare tire bracket. I would buy NOS or used original parts as much as possible when restoring.
It has been converted to 12 volt. Hinged radiator.
I have the Army discharge papers.”
(04/16/2015) Seller installed a 2″ lift, but it seems taller than that to me.
“1943 GPW for sale, started ground up restoration on it and dont have the energy or time to finish it. Motor is Buick 225 V6 and was pulled and gone through and painted along with T-90 3 speed tranny. Frame sand blasted and repainted along with front and rear diffs. New leaf springs with 2″ lift, shackles and bushings. Body was pulled off and undercoated and painted original OD green. New brake lines, shoes, springs, wheel cylinders and master cylinder. Also was upgraded to rack and pinion steering. Just needs to be finished.”
“Have an 1946 Jeep Willys CJ-2A and various extra parts for sale. A great restore project. Been kept in a barn for the past 10-15 years but was working fine when it was last ran. Trying to clear things from the barn so can’t get great pictures at the moment but posted what you can see. Email only.”
Seller has three jeeps in different condition and prices.
“We have 3 Willys Jeeps that have been sitting in the barn for about 30 years. One is complete with overhead valve engine and plow ($1200) One has flathead engine and the cab has been cut up and replaced with plywood ($1000) and one is a rolling chassis only ($500). Make an offer on the lot or individually.”
“This is a nice project jeep that I have invested twice that asking price, it is just becoming painfully obvious that I just don’t have the time to work on it.
1946 Willys CJ2A with Dana 44 front and rear axles from a Wagoneer.
The tub is in very good condition, only a small hole in the driver’s side floor board, could easily be fixed, I have purchased (but not installed) new pans to weld in for both sides, Those will come with. Continue reading →
“1952 M38 Willys Jeep. Has L134 flathead. Tub is in fair shape, will need floorpan and cowl work. No windshield frame, but I have parts hoods to go with it. Have not started it but the motor turns freely. No title, but has serial number plate. 1500 obo.”
This jeep has a complete drivetrain. It would be a good candidate as a base for a restoration. The tub is mostly shot, but the hood, fenders, grille, and windshield are in good shape. The hood and windshield are stamped with Willys script, which you won’t find on repro pieces.
The drivetrain is standard for the model year:
134cid I4 L head
T90 3 speed transmission
Dana 18 transfer case
Dana 44 offset rear axle
Dana 27 front axle
Selectro front hubs
The engine turns freely. The spark plugs are still in the block. The radiator is original, but I do not know what condition it is in. The jeep has had a spring over conversion, but the springs and hangers are factory. The frame is straight and not rusted through.
This jeep would be an excellent candidate to start a restoration. All the major drivetrain components are in place. No title.”
“I have a 1953 Willy’s Overland wagon for sale. This is a very cool 4×4 for anyone who really loves the classics and wants a vehicle of this caliber and vintage. The engine runs great. It is a V-6 and doesn’t smoke or burn oil. Body is pretty solid, minus some rust on rear fender wells, but for 62 years old, its pretty nice. The interior seats are in great shape with no tears. The dash is all original and all the gauges work. All the wood on the floor is original and in great shape. So here it is, its a beauty of a Willy, does need some (tlc) from the person who wants to restore it. It needs a headliner, but all the hardware for the headliner is there. This is a wonderful collectors Willy’s Overland Wagon. ”
