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 .
“Runs! Starts right up. Tires are good. Custom roll bar. Converted from 6 volt to 12 volt. New starting gear. Bought as a project Jeep and I just do not have the time.
Price: $4,000
Please contact Jon or Jeanie at: email: jeankeppler@cox.net”
Looks like some rust on the driver’s side, but otherwise appears pretty solid.
“This is a 1943 Ford GPW I picked up in 2008 with intentions to restore. I don’t have the time it needs and need to clear up a little space. The pictures show it needs some body work. We have a new fuel pump for the Jeep that goes with it. It comes with the windshield, a rare back seat. The fuel tank leaks and we tried getting it fixed. The engine is free and the seller put fuel in the carburetor to fire it up and it turned over in 2008. Buyer will have to apply for a lost title on this vehicle. I do have the bill of sale around from the auction it was purchased”
“48 willys Jeep, engine has been rebuilt, it does run, but the steering box is bad, and obviously from the pics it does need work. But, its all original, and mostly just surface rust. It was my dads, he put a new windshield, taillights and headlights in it, and did take it gopher hunting a few times. I know its worth something to the right buyer, it will have to be loaded on a flatbed to haul it out..”
UPDATE: this appears to have sold. It was priced at $3500.
(07/24/2012) This looks solid. The dash appears rhino-lined or textured.
“48 Willys CJ-2A Jeep been in family since 48. Power take off winch , 91 chevy 4speed stick, 1964 small block V-6 engine, soft top, 31×10.50 R15 BFGoodrich tires, runs good.”
I just thought this was interesting in that it looks parked in the middle of nowhere. Of course, to be fair, Elko is in the middle of nowhere. That means that Ryndon is even more in the middle of nowhere.
“1951 Jeep Willys Wagon For Sale
No Engine, Transmission, or Transfer Case.
Buyer must pick up as I do not have a trailer to haul it.
$350 Or Make offer”
“1949 Willys CJ jeep has undergone an extensive frame-off, nut and bolt restoration and is ready for its next assignment. Call Phil at 715-456-0036 for more information.”
UPDATE: Was listed at $1500. This is Steve Carters’ rig. It does include a short block, but no heads. This was Gary Rich’s El Coyote, which some older PNW Jeepers might remember.
The springs have been out boarded in the back.
“1950 willys race jeep currently setup for v6 but scatter shield has been drilled for v8, comes with 350 short block, t-10 four speed w/ advance early adapter to dana 18 offset transfer case. 44 tapered offset rear. dana 44 front with 30 ends, two desert dogs on super offset wheels, buckshots in the front. does not come with a body.”
“1959 CJ-5 with a 327 Corvette engine from 1962. It has new tie rods, all new electrical, new front and rear seals on the engine, 3″ lift and newer tires. The body is in excellent condition and has no rust. The transmission does need some work.”
(06/28/2012) The serial number on this is #13346. The column shift is gone, but the full floaters appear to be there (and is one of the last few made before they eliminated that feature), along with the tool indents.
I purchased this 46 from my engine builder who had this in his barn for 10 years. This was one of @ 10 jeeps used on his property as a hunting vehicle. When I bought it it had the newer model engine in it with a cut in the hood to allow the air cleaner to protrude out the top. He had an original flathead completely rebuilt on a crate wrapped in plastic that came with the deal. You have to know this guy, his machine shop is insane and his quality of work is tops. As I said, they have a bunch of these willys on this property over the years and this was his last one. His intent was to fix it up and out this rebuilt flathead in it. The newer model engine originally in the car when I purchased it apparently ran but was way down on power according to my guy when he drove the Willys into the barn. So I never messed with this engine. Out it came and in went the rebuilt flathead engine. I purchased over $1500 in parts from Ron Fitzpatricks jeep parts. New Carb, new brake master, new engine mounts, new steering piviots and all the parts from the box to the wheels (less the actual rods). New Hood. Had the fuel tank and radiator cleaned but I’m not happy with either of those jobs. Had the starter and generator completely gone through. Brand new 8 volt battery. New Distributor, all new air box and complete system to the carb. New Fuel Pump, New water pump and clutch plate and throw out bearing. New gas peddle and all new linkage to the carb from the peddle as well. New choke cable and new ground wires. Actual Mileage…… HA who knows. . . . ”
