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 .
“1949 WILLYS CJ 2A ,4X4 I have the fender that is not on it in the photos, it has new tires and runs. Great project to restore or just a little tlc to drive down the road. No emails or text will be returned. I will not ship or accept pay pal. if you want it you have to come in person with cash. PRICE IS FIRM.”
We left Pasco, Washington, at 5amish yesterday, which means we’d planned to leave at 5am, but due to last minute scrambling, our departure didn’t actually occur until 5:30am. After nine hours of driving, we arrived in Salt Lake City in time to celebrate with the kids.
Today we drove from Pasco, Washington, to Salt Lake City, Utah.
Karson, Kasia and Colter joined us at the Old Spaghetti Factory for some pasta. It was Kasia’s choice, due both to her upcoming 18th birthday and because we found out yesterday she’s been accepted to the University of Utah. However, she won’t be attending the U this fall, but will postpone it until the fall of 2015 so she can spend the next school year participating in a mentorship program in Los Angeles.
Colter has another two years at East High School. I think he hopes that without his brother and sister at school, he will no longer be known as Kasia or Karson’s little brother. Instead, people will actually know him by his own name.
You may remember our trip from last summer when we ran into Karson twice during his participation in the Americorps/FEMA program. In November he successfully ‘graduated’ from the program with lots of experiences, stories and scholarship money. So, he decided to go to Westminster University starting this winter. He seems to be enjoying it immensely.
The outside looks good. It needs work on the interior.
“1947 willys pickup. Has been in storage since 1968, Sheet metal has almost no rust damage. Previous owner started to install v8 chevy, but did not finish. Used an old Hurst conversion kit to use original trans. Also have an extra set of axles with springs. truck is 4×4 but does NOT have lockouts on either set of axles. I have a clear title and will help load it up. Very easy project to finish, the sheet metal only needs a little work, and you can drop in the small block of your choice to get running fast. Won’t need to take up your whole winter. $1500 is far less than having to do lots of body work would cost alone.”
I found this interesting photo of Bennet Larson and a few others standing in front of a Keystone Automobile Club Jeep. Keystone was an automobile club that was absorbed into the AAA Mid-Atlantic in 1965. The photo was taken in/near Philadelphia. I imagine the jeep was used for helping stranded motorists or patrolling?
“Great Jeep. Everything runs great, it’s a lot of fun. Buick V6 engine, overhauled 3,000 miles ago. Off Road Tires in good shape. I drove it from Michigan to Arizona 2 years ago so that proves its reliability. I’ve re-built the brakes and added an 8k winch. Added a sound system and really nice speakers. It can be left as is or it can be restored to a more original look. Make an offer and ill consider. No Trades.”
(02/23/2014) This has a windshield mod as well as some updates.
“1942 Jeep/Ford GPW military jeep. Looks and runs great. Very reliable for a vehicle 70+ years old. Has a Buick 231 odd-fire V6, T-98 Granny low 4 speed transmission, new rebuilt transfer case, new clutch, Dana 44 rear end with locker. Trail proven and turns heads anywhere you drive. Call or text Brad at 593-9017. Please don’t waste my time with low ball offers.”
I thought this looked interesting. It is a shortened truck on a CJ-6 chassis. Not a bad fit.
“1949 Willys pickup. Shortened 18″, on cj6 chassis, cj7 front and rear axle with all new brakes, rewired with LED tail lights, power steering, power brakes, tilt. Needs finishing and needs some carburetor work from sitting. Rims and tires pictured are not included.”
