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 .
“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. THE GLASS IS GOOD EXCEPT FOR THE DRIVER DOOR WHICH IS CRACKED. THE TRUCK HAS NOT RUN IN OVER 10 YEARS. THE 4 CYLINDER F HEAD ENGINE DOES TURN. IT HAS LOCKING HUBS. 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. Am looking for an ATV 4×4 with winch plow and possible trailer with deal. E-mail me if you want to see additional pictures. If you have something to trade, e-mail me and send pictures! 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.”
“This is the first Jeep model produced for civilian use after WWII. The engine, drivetrain and chassis are all original. It does not run and needs body work, but will make a great project vehicle!”
“47′ Willys Jeep CJ-3A PROJECT !!!!!!!!

The price is firm, bring a trailer and take her home before the tree eats it!!

UPDATE: It seems that a number of posts I’d created over the last few weeks hadn’t published correctly. My visit to the July MVPA Conference was one of them. So, there are a bunch of extra posts today! Enjoy.
Vern and Dennis in front of Vern’s Ford GP. Vern has restored a number of different jeeps. Dennis is working on his first, a 1943 GPW.
On my way to Seattle today I detoured through Portland so I could spend some time at this year’s MVPA Conference. The event was held at the Portland Expo Center. The event seemed well attended, with many different vehicles and vendors. There were over thirty jeeps, too!
I couldn’t stay at the event too long, so I didn’t get a chance to mingle much. Besides Vern and Dennis, I spent some time talking with Joe from Vintage Wiring of Maine. He and Josh were discussing a wiring harness for Josh’s GPA project. I also spoke with the guys organizing the convoy trips that honor/celebrate some of the early trans US Highways. We discussed both using eWillys to promote the event and joining the 2015 Bankhead Route Convoy for part or all of the thirty day venture.
I’ve landed back in Renton for the next week. My mother has a long ‘sonny-do’ project list. I’ll also be disassembling Biscuit. I’m gonna be busy!
Here’s a bunch of pics from today. That’s all I have time for:
