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 .
(02/26/2014) “1973 Hot Rod Mail Jeep Mopar 360 V/8 Fun Toy Sharp
This is a great running and looking custom Jeep Toy.
All fiberglass body with flip up front.
360 Mopar motor with 727 torqueflite automatic transmission.
Air shocks all the way around.
Sunpro gauges, Lockair shifter.
Complete new brake system including master cylinder wheel cylinders and shoes.Fun to drive, this would make a great attention getter in front of a business as well.
It’s right hand drive and would be funny to put a fake scary or goofy driver on the left side.”
“I have a willys jeep for sale it has a 327 v8 with 3 speed transmission with hi low overdrive, runs and drives smooth, has tilt collum, clean oregon title, looking for 4750 obo or trade for your?”
Monterey was our launch point today. Before we headed north, Ann submitted a request to re-photograph the western side of Fisherman’s wharf. It took a few wrong turns, a couple mistakes, and dumb luck to find a good spot from which to take the photos she wanted. That’s where we discovered a memorial to Father Juniper Serra (he was news to me) who was responsible for forming a variety of spanish missions along the coast of California. Unfortunately, he’s seems pretty forgotten in his current spot on Monterey.
A hazy Monterey morning.
With photographs snapped, we continued toward our second goal, Castroville.
Our drive from Monterey to Scotts Valley, Ca, on Wednesday.
As we approached Castroville, the highway was lined with never-ending fields. It had been six years since I’d seen these fields, as I used to live just north of them in Aptos, California. I’d driven through the fields many times and seen folks working the fields no matter the weather. It always looks like hard work, often they are hunched over for hours. Hoodies are a popular item, as they are loose, flexible and offer sun protection. Whether hot or cold, field hands wear them.
Eventually, we arrived in Castroville. Apparently, Castroville is famous for two things. 1) it is the birthplace of Norma Jean and 2) It is the self-proclaimed artichoke capitol of the world and holds an artichoke festival every year.
Norma Jean and artichokes came together in 1948 when Norma was named the very first honorary Artichoke Queen. History would show that such an honor didn’t keep Norma from leaving Castroville nor did it keep her from changing her name to the more familiar Marilyn Monroe.
We didn’t travel to Castroville to learn more about Marilyn, but rather to find the world’s largest artichoke. The area surrounding Castroville provides 75% of the domestically grown artichoke crop. The other 25% is grown in other areas of California.The unusual thing about the artichoke plant is it is basically a weed, a type of thistle. But, a yummy thistle it is!
The town of Castroville is pretty small, so it wasn’t hard to spot a giant artichoke once when we arrived (see photo at the top of the post).
We took some photos. Then, Ann spotted ‘Fried Artichokes’. She’d never had them, so we set about having some for an early lunch. We also added an order of spinach and artichoke dip. Life was good!
Needs brake booster fixed. Sure looks like a great price.

“1948 cj2a jeep runs good drives but needs breaks. IS NOT STREET LEGAL. To make it street legal it would need turn signals, windshield wipers, and seat belts This didn’t come with any of the above and that’s why it doesn’t have them. It needs some body work but isn’t horrible, ive bought a lot of new parts for it to make it a trail runner ie…. bigger rims and tires but will come with originals as well, roll bars bikini top with everything needed to mount, fog lights brush guard, street legal windshield glass which has been installed, shackle lift kit new bushings for leaf springs, and im sure im forgetting some other parts. anyway would be a really nice and easy father and son project and once breaks are fixed and street legal then a nice daily driver(easy on gas) if not familiar with cj2a think WW era jeeps that’s what it looks like.”
