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 .
“Great jeep! Runs, drives, in good shape! Have used it for pulling logs and cruising the back roads. Has the F head engine in it. Needs a little work but good to go as is! Great for a project! To busy to enjoy it anymore, willing to negotiate a bit, or possibly consider a trade.”
“Willys m38a1 runs good needs very little. This jeep would be the perfect restoration project as it needs very little and runs excellent. I have the spare tire and rim just needs to be mounted, also have a few other misc parts that can be added.”
I don’t see any reason to think this is a VEC or a ’45.
“1945 CJ2A civilian jeep. Original motor has been redone. Frame in excellent condition with a no rust body. Nice shape for the year. Was running a few years ago with a no smoke motor. Transmission and four wheel drive transfer case working properly.”
“I have a 1964 Jeep Willy’s CJ3B for sale. It is in good condition for its age. It does need some TLC to get in running condition. It has been in storage for the last 2 years, engine turns over but will not start. I believe the fuel pump needs to be rebuilt or replaced. Prior to it being put in storage it ran fine. a new fuel pump and replace the break lines and it should be ready to roll.”
Three of the nine jeeps in Sagauche, Colorado. These are sitting at the edge of town. This is downtown!
Today was supposed to be about doing some family research, but I was in for a surprise!
Today I traveled from Alamosa to Pueblo.
I started the morning with a scraper in my right hand and my left plunged into my pocket. After weeks of warm weather, emerging into 32 degree temperatures shocked my being. With my window partially scraped, I could see just enough to drive myself to the local Campus Cafe, which served some good eggs and hash browns (a Yelp find).
My first stop of the trip was to see a very unique motel called Movie Manor. Run by Best Western, the motel plays movies on two drive-in screens. The speakers are hooked into the motel rooms. I priced it at $89, but figured I was too busy to watch the movies, so I found a cheaper place. Still, I wouldn’t mind returning with Ann sometime. They were playing two recently released movies, Avengers and Mad Max. Not bad!
Following movie manor I expected an uneventful drive to Monarch Pass. Instead, as I was driving through the sleepy town of Saguache (not even sure how to pronounce it) that is nearly small enough to have “Welcome to Saguache” on both sides of the same sign, I spotted a flat fender. As I approached more closely, I spotted a second. Then I spotted a couple more. By this time my foot was on the brake and my hand was on a camera. I had find out why these jeeps were sitting in the Gillette’s Trading Post parking lot in a middle-of-a-nowhere town like Saguache.
On May 18th and May 19th I spent time in Pueblo to do some research. The only semi-interesting photo is this one showing under a sign on Eilers street, named for the Eilers Smelter, aka The Colorado Smelting Company.
The next update with be on May 22nd, which marks the day Ann returns to Colorado and we head to Omaha for her son’s graduation.
Leigh found this 2WD 1948 wagon that had been sitting in a shed in Australia since 1994. He plans on restoring while retaining the current look as much as possible. From what he has been told only about 400 Wagons of any description came to Australia so parts are a bit difficult, however he reports Kaiser Willys has been a big help.
