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 .
Just one update tonight as we are tired from a fun filled day at the FC Roundup. As we were heading back to Jesse’s from dinner we took to the highway for a few miles. Now, I never thought in my wildest dreams that I’d be heading down the Interstate in Phoenix at night in a FC Tour Jeep full of people, let alone traveling at over 60mph and passing other vehicles! For Ann and I it was a perfect ending to a great weekend! More pics and info tomorrow.
Here’s what it looks like at 56MPH in a Tour Jeep with Craig driving (we hit 63MPH at one point), his wife recording the speed and my better half taking a photo. I don’t remember all those lights, but then I was looking out the side as we passed other vehicles. Maybe we hit warp speed and I just wasn’t paying attention? Jason reached 67MPH in his FC Tour Jeep, perhaps setting a new land speed record for Tour Jeeps!?!
Ann and I had a wonderful time at day 1 of the FC Roundup. It was great to match faces with names of people I have corresponded with for years. We spent the start of our visit with Glenn and Colin discussing some of the unusual history of Willys Overland they uncovered recently.
From Left to right is Colin, me and Glenn
As Glenn had to take off, we soon found ourselves on a quick tour of Phoenix in Jason’s FC Tour Jeep. Our quick tour turned into a rollicking ride through Phoenix as its citizens tried to figure out what kind of vehicle was ferrying this crazy group of people. Without hills or dales to wander, we stuck to city streets, waving at all the people who were waving back at us. Canadian Dave was at the helm, navigating the roads of Phoenix like any true Canadian would do … very politely. He didn’t cause a single person to flip us off.
Pretty soon we got thirsty, so we tried to hunt down a Sonic Burger. Unsuccessful on our own, Jason had an opportunity to ask “Big Willy”, a guy next to us wearing a “Big Willy” shirt, if he knew where the closest Sonic Burger place was. Big Willy responded with a point of his finger to our right. Unsure if Big Willy was being accurate or just trying to get rid of us so he could continue driving in traffic, we followed his directions and found the cold drinks we sought.
After our cold drinks, instead of going back to Jesse’s house and the roundup, we soon found ourselves traveling to the airport to pick up Vance. I jumped in to ride shotgun so I could provided directions to the airport; however, my phone’s GPS failed me in our hour of need. Fortunately, Jason’s navigation came through and we found the airport. Now, if you’ve never ridden an FC Tour Jeep through a set of airport terminals, I can highly suggest it. People were smiling and waving … I’ve never seen so many happy people at the airport!!
Eventually, we made our way back to Jesse’s (after a bathroom stop at Valero). After hanging out there for a little while, we all piled into FCs for a trip to dinner. Ann and I jumped back into Jason’s FC. This time, instead of Canadian Dave driving, Jason took the wheel and drove us over to a motel to pick up one more rider before heading to dinner. As we innocently pulled up to the door of the motel, Jason honked the FC’s horn. It just so happened at that moment a woman was walking forty feet or so in front of the FC. The honk startled the woman.
Hearing that honk, the woman’s dog leapt forward, causing the woman to jerk forward too. The woman thought the honk was for her, so she turned around and gave us the look of death. Then, she gave us the one-fingered salute. Yes, it took Jason only a few minutes of driving to have someone flip us off. She might not have been very happy with us (she would flip us off a second time, too), but she made us laugh all the way to dinner.
The body interior is supposed to be rough, but I’ve seen much worse.
“LOOKING FOR SOMEONE SPECIFICALLY WANTING A 1948. IF YOU’RE JUST WANTING AN OLD FLAT-FENDER, YOU MIGHT AS WELL BUY A NEW BUCKET AND PUT IT ON A MORE MODERN DRIVETRAIN AND FRAME.
THIS JEEP HAS SUFFERED THROUGH ALL ITS YEARS IN THE OREGON RAIN AND USED MOSTLY FOR HUNTING AND SOME RANCH CHORES. THE FLOOR PANS ARE RUSTED THRU AND ANY PLACE THAT HELD WATER CONSISTANTLY.
IT IS FULLY 6V AND IT DID RUN WHEN I BOUGHT IT IN 08…….BUT IT DID NOT STOP! NO BRAKES WHAT-SO-EVER. PREVIOUS OWNER DROVE IT ALL OVER THE HILLS ON COMPRESSION ONLY.
THE WINDSHIELD DID NOT COME FROM THE FACTORY AS THE REST. ITS BEEN SWITCHED TO A ONE-PIECE WHICH IS STILL IN GOOD CONDITION.
THE RADIATOR IS A LITTLE DAMP AT THE BOTTOM BUT DOES NOT SEEM TO LEAK.
WHEELS ARE STOCK WITH OLD BIAS-PLY TIRES THAT STILL HOLD AIR.
I HAVE REMOVED EVERYTHING THAT IS BOLTED ON AND REMOVED THE DASH COMPONENTS AND STEERING WHEEL AND THE BODY IS READY TO LIFT OFF.
REASON FOR SELLING AS I HAVE TOO MANY PROJECTS AND I HAVE ANOTHER 48 THAT I NEED TO GET GOING ON. AGE IS CATCHING UP WITH ME.
HERE ARE COUPLE PIC’S OF ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THE OUTSIDE. THE WHITE TOP IS NO LONGER WITH IT. THE PIC. OF ME IN IT IS WHEN I DROVE IT AROUND THE BLOCK THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. BODY DOESN’T LOOK LIKE ITS EVER BEEN DAMAGE FROM ANY COLLISION OR ROLL-OVER.”
“Off frame restored 1949 Willys CJ2A Jeep. Has tow bar and mechanical winch. Great parade vehicle. Runs great, all original engine and running gear. Painted Olive drab, to look like military version. New Tires and many new parts, seals etc.”
“I purchased it off of Craigslist about a year ago for $2200. Being a poor college student I haven’t had the time or the money to put into completing it and now it looks like I’ll have to sell it.
It’s mostly a basketcase at this point. The frame is SUPER SOLID no holes and I got about halfway through POR15’ing it. The frame on it’s own just is just about worth what I’m asking.
The transmission is an original T90-A1 model and moves freely.
I think the engine is seized but I think it’s only a dip or a diesel bath away from turning. The block is from a GPW (think WW2 Willys). The Water pump is super rusted.
The carb is a solex type aftermarket single barrel. The oil filter is the standard paper canister kind. It has a 12v coil though I’m not sure if the gauges are 12v also (never got that far).
The Gas tank is in OK condition. There was only a very small pin hole and I used POR15 tank sealer to fix that about a year ago.
The body needs welding work. If you’re good with welding and have some scrap sheet metal it would make a good project. the floor (what always ends up going) is completely missing. There are no original seats.
The axles look solid and move freely. The drum brakes may need to be cleaned but I’ve been told by the PO that they are good.
The windshield folds nicely when installed. The glass is not correct and is something of a hack job sealed in. It would most likely work while driving.
It needs a new steering system. Some PO put a power steering system in and it has since completely gone.
What it has:
Complete hood, grille, lamps, pumps, carb, wheels, frame, brakes, tailgate, pretty much everything you see.
New radiator
most of the aftermarket soft top bow system.
ugly aftermarket roll bar
mild 2-3″ shackle lift with oversize tires.
12v ignition coil
I’m also including:
a front bumper from a wrangler as a replacement for the bent up one that came with it.
Chilton’s service manual for CJs.
Obviously, this isn’t drivable so it will need to be flat towed. E-Mail me if you’re interested.”
“project jeep rolling frame,complete except seats,original 4cyl also 4cyl out of 43 willys both ran when removed

“1960 wagon with V8 conversion, runs strong. Needs interior, has body rust. 1959 wagon, all original, good body and interior. Hydraulic snow plow pump and hoses on engine. 59 has title, 60 notorized bill of sale. Extra parts included. Price is for both.”
(03/06/2012) I can’t tell if this has tool indents or not.
“very early CJ2 with 3 spd on the column
