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 .
(11/17/2012) This looks pretty good in the first pic, but not as good in the other two. The drivetrain has updates.
“1962 Willys Wagon with AMC 401 V8, Turbo 400, Dana 300 and Dana 44 Axles. More info in Montana CL ad. Runs good. Interesting trades considered. Thanks”
How about this great ad from the August 9, 1943, issue of Newsweek. I’ll be posting a different one from Newsweek tomorrow. This is pieced together from two different pages.
These doors came with Dexter’s Esslingen remanufactured jeep. None of the people at G503 knew anything about them. He believes it is part of a complete winter top. He was wondering if anyone knew when they were make, whether they were civilian or military, or US or European and Approx year. Really, if anyone knows anything about them it would be helpful.
“Up for auction is a 1948 Willy’s Jeepster. This vehicle has been 99% restored and is in great condition. This car has the original four-cylinder, Flat head, 62 horsepower, Go-Devil engine that has been removed and fully rebuilt with only 5500 miles on the rebuild. It has a three speed manual transmission and it comes with overdrive as well that just needs to be hooked up. Many extra parts are included with the car. The interior has been done with new upholstery and carpet, and the paint is fresh with only a few minor issues below the spare tire cover. The steering wheel was replaced by the previous owner but steering wheels are available for this car through Kaiser-Willys and other online Jeep websites. New turn signals and more that is too much to list. The body is straight, and all the trim is available and will be sent with your purchase – it just needs to be installed. Spare tire cover comes with the car and has been painted to match the body color. As seen in the pictures one weekend would completely finish this car. It’s a great around town car that runs smooth and starts right up. The convertible top is in great condition and the windows are all there. The car has been completely gone through and has had a recent tune-up and brakes, steering, clutch and axles worked on. This car was bought to finish restoring quickly but I don’t have the time to drive it much less finish the minor restoration to bring it to completion. It has been kept in a warehouse, not in the weather and is in good condition.”
Only one pic, but the appears like a solid vehicle. The price looks good. It is 2wd.
“1953 Willy’s-Overland Station Wagon (The Original SUV)
Runs and drives great
Original engine and transmission have been replaced with that of a 1967 Ford Mustang 200ci inline 6 cylinder and 3 on the floor gearbox — great for reliability but unfortunately they removed the transfer case in the process.

“1946 willys cj2a frame off restoration, 500 miles on rebuilt engine. Axles, transmission, and transfer case rebuilt. All stock except tires and wheels. Call (828) 421-4646”
“1947 willys, really good condition. Kept inside when not used. Has a new starter, carb, fuel pump. Comes with set of spare tires and the actual spare, repair Manuel’s, 6 volt starter and only about 10,000 miles. Must see. 5,800 obo”
It hasn’t been started in two years, but is supposed to run.
“This jeep has been in my family for at least 1/2 of its life as well as been garaged during this time. I’ve had it for @ 10 years and my Mom and step-dad had it at their lake house in Nebraska (always garaged, was used to put the boat & jet ski’s into the shore stations), we did joy-ride in the jeep around the lake property but it is not licensed or street legal as it has not been modified. Prior to my Mom & step-dad getting it from my step-dad’s uncle, I am not aware of how long my step-dad’s uncle (now deceased) had the jeep or if he was the original owner. The title only indicates the names of my step-dad’s uncle, my step-dad and now my name.
The tag under the hood on the body indicates the following:
Willy’s Body
CJ-2A 71042
Willys Overland Motors, Inc.
Loledo, OH USA
Kindly note that in the pics I removed the driver’s side seat and gas tank to show the condition of the body as apparently that is where rust through would take place in these jeeps. The jeep does run, however, has not been started for @ 2+ years. The front bumper also has the same VIN number as the body.”
This looks like a great price. I’d like to know who made that body. It has an extra wide lip like the later bobcats, but the step cuts in like a more standard body.
