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 .
The tilt-hood on this CJ-5 project was a surprise.
“1957 Willys/Jeep CJ5 with Dana 44 Rear, Dana 25 rear. Tub in fair shape, some surface rust and 1 small rot spot on the front pass tub. Rear cross member cut by previous owner. I recently purchased it and decided to go a different direction. No Title. Part out.”

“1950 Willy Overland Jeepster, an older restoration done over 20 years ago but still looks nice. It runs and drives nice, except 2nd gear pops out of gear when you release pressure off the accelerator pedal. I am not a mechanic but I think it may need a clutch adjustment. Excellent condition top and side curtains, no holes or rips. Nice black and red exterior and interior. New tires with Willy’s hubcaps. Converted to 12 volt for convenience. Priced very fair for a collector and fun classic car. I will be posting pictures in a few days or so. No low ball offers please! ”
The August 11, 1958, issue of the Sydney Morning Herald featured a long review of the CJ-3B, whose parts were imported into Australia and then assembled there. You can review the article at Google news as it original appeared or read my re-arranged version (for space purposes) below. The reviewer’s biggest complaint was due to the way the jeep is converted from left to right-hand drive, leaving the gearshift to the left of the transfer case shifters.

“1952 WILLYS JEEP. I AQUIRED THIS JEEP IN A TRADE WITH GENTLEMAN THAT HAD OWNED IT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND HAVE A FOLDER FULL OF PAPERWORK OF THINGS DONE TO THIS JEEP.
THIS IS A 1952 WILLYS JEEP ON A 1962 MAIL CARRIER FRAME(WHICH I WAS TOLD AND DOING RESEARCH IS STRONGER). THE BODY IS ORIGINAL BUT EVERYTHING ELSE HAS BEEN UPDATED OR UPGRADED SOMEHOW.
“For your consideration, a very nice and clean example of an early cj-2a.. appears to have been restored quite a few years ago, but I cannot be certain as to when it was done…. Actually the paint appears to be aged consistently, along with the original weathered oak hood blocks.. Seats are the original leatherette grey fabric , and are in nice shape, along with the original rear seat.
Frame is excellent, along with the bumper and gussets that are original to the jeep. There is no rust to speak of, besides some paint missing on the drivers flor due to gas being spilled there. Furthermore, there is mild surface rust on some of the underside areas, but thats to be expected with a vehicle of this age.
