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 .
(06/29/2013) It might not be at “factory specs”, but it’s got a repro body and appears solid.
“I’m selling a 64 cj3b it has been restored to factory specs all the way down to the rivots in the frame it also comes with another fhead engine and trans plus axels leaf springs etc to much to list basically everything to build another without frame and body if interested call Dave at 734-344-nine743 5000 for everything or best cash offer”
(06/28/2013) This looks pretty straight. It’s not entirely stock.
“Current registration and insurance, clear title in hand.
Body- Dented, rusty, some minor repairs done by prior owner. It is very useable as is, actually better than most project jeeps I looked at before buying this one, but needs work to be perfect. Some of the hat channels underneath are rusted and need repaired. This is actually very solid, just want you to know what to expect.
Frame- Solid, no major issues or rust that I have found.
Engine- GPW (ford) 4cyl engine. (this is the military version of the stock motor= not the factory original engine). The GPW is a nice addition depending on your plans, as it it worth more than the stock motor as many people restoring military jeeps would like to have the original style motor. Engine runs good overall, but the exhaust needs to be removed and the heat exchanger flap freed up. This is the flap that re-circulated exhaust air around the intake when the engine is cold to make it run better. It is common for these to seize up and cause the exhaust air to always heat the intake. This causes the gas to get hot in the carb and flood the engine. I had this freed up last year, but it sat over winter and is stuck again. Radiator was rebuilt last year, like new.
A US surfing celebrity called Roxy dropped by Moorea in Tahiti and borrowed Alex’s CJ3A for some fashion shots. I personally think they cropped too much of the jeep, but I guess it is all about the model these days . . . On the bright side, he made a few bucks on the rental 🙂
Finally, you can catch a quick glimpse of the jeep racing through the pinapple fields. You’ll have to watch a bunch of women in small bikinis to see it though. I’m sure you’ll all suffer through it just fine.
UPDATE: The event date has been changed to August 28th!
Bob forwarded this on a request from the communications coordinator for the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority. There will be a vintage-jeep related event on August 28th from 10:30am to 12:30pm. Food will be available.
Jerk forwarded this unusual FC-170 for sale in Sweden. Note the unusual bed, rear window, and rims.
“Renoveringsobjekt, gammal bärgningsbil med frisk ram, rak 6-cyl sidventilsmotor isärskruvad + en extra motor också i delar, ny packningssats till motorn finns, rostig hytt, extra front och dörrar finns, original winch monterad på kraftuttaget, kraftiga axlar, Dana 44 fram & Dana 53 bak, reg.papper från landsarkivet finns då det gamla reg.nr. fallit ur registret.”
This builder of this nice looking jeep never got a chance to enjoy it much. The body looks M-38.
“1948 Willy’s Overland Jeep CJ2A. This vehicle was left to my wife after her father passed away and I will describe it and answer questions to the best of my ability. All steel body professionally painted in real John Deere green and yellow, paint is new, original flat head four cylinder motor and overdrive transmission (which I’m told is very hard to find). Steering has been upgraded, brake master cylinder has been upgraded to a dual reservoir, all wiring is new, all brakes are new, brand new super lift soft ride lift kit, brand new shocks, brand new wheels and BFG tires, brand new swing out tire carrier with hitch, brand new upgraded plastic gas tank, LED tail lights, heavy duty front bumper with 8000lb winch, tow bar and mounts, flaming river SS tilt steering column, bucket seats with harnesses in the front, original Jeep rear seat (I’m told these are hard to find also), full roll bar, bimini top, warn brass hubs, optima battery, custom billet rear view mirror and roll bar mounts. He bought the speedometer used and it say 9K on it but the Jeep has less then 50 miles on it since complete rebuild, my father-in-law finished this build and unfortunately got sick and passed away before he could enjoy it. It has been stored in my shop ever since and I start it up once a week and let it idle for an hour or so. I have listed the details the best I can, I have not driven it besides in and out of my shop and around the yard but he drove it around the neighbor once a week. I am sure I am missing some details so please ask and I will do my best to answer.”
“I LOOKED FAR AND WIDE TO FIND A JEEP FC THIS NICE TO RESTORE BUT I HAVE TOO MANY PROJECTS AND I AM TOO OLD TO COMPLETE. IT IS VERY ORIGINAL AND COMPLETE WITH A WARN FRONT PTO DRIVING A 10,000LB RANSEY WINCH. THE BODY IS VERY NICE. I HAVE NOT FOUND ANY RUST OUT ANYWHERE.

IT HAS 2 15″ SPOKED WHEELS AND 3 ORIGINAL 16″ WHEELS.”
“Wiring needs to be finished. Interior needs to be finished. 4 Cylinder rebuilt engine with about 1000 miles. Odometer shows 36,753 miles. New battery. New paint. New lock-outs. Clean title! New clutch and pressure plate. Vehicle has been stored in garage and started a few times a year. Cash payment or will consider trade.

Please note on the picture of the jeep from the front side, the hood is not latched.”
The ‘original tires’ aren’t necessarily ‘correct’, but definitely have value.
“1946 jeep cj2a willys. 4 cyl ford 2000 engine. Original undercarriage,running gear. No rust. Have original military wheels with correct military tires. Has new weber carb. New battery. Needs a little tlc but I just don’t have time. I have many new parts that go with it. Email questions.”
“Two M38A1 military Jeep projects, both have engines, both were running when parked, one has 24 volt still on it, title for the better one, both for $1300. 615-456-913six no calls after 9:00pm”
“Old crusty jeep FC170. i bought it for the flatbed,that will NOT come with it.
It has the flathead 226 super hurricane motor with hi comp head,and it runs well. the tranny is shot. i’ve driven it around the yard. the windshield is good,and very hard to find.
This is not something to buy and try to revive. it’s a good parts truck.”
