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 can hear Kevin already …. This sure looks like a solid wagon. I think someone will get a great deal with this.
“I have a 1956 willys station wagon, it needs a new motor or rebuild, I lost the title so no title but I can write a bill of sale, it would make a good project, I am asking 1000 but am also up for trades, I am looking for a running vehicle to get my family around, if you have any questions feel free to contact Paul 719-360-3054 eastridge_p@yahoo.com”
There might be some value here. It’s got a PTO Winch. The body looks rough.
“Restoration potential. Body has usual rust spots but all could be restored. I was told the F134 has rebuild top. It runs but the gas tank was bad so it was started fro an external can. Standard 3-speed T90 shifts easily. Has PTO Ramsey winch. There is no top and the windshield goes onto another jeep, so thats not included. It has one seat as shown. The wheels are good and tires about a third left. There is an extra rolling frame that must go with the jeep. sorry but WILL NOT PART OUT & NO TRADES.”
(01/23/10) “1964 cj-6 with 4 cylinder f-head, 3 speed and Dana 18 t-case. Runs and drives with an Oklahoma black tag. The engine has new plugs, wires, pertronix ignition to replace points, carberator, water pump, alternator, belts, voltage regulator, exhaust, fuel tank, sending unit and lines. It also has an AGM deep cycle battery (new). The drive train has new u-joints, pinion seals, brake system. The interior has been re-done in original pattern with a 60/40 front bench and standard rear seat. Electric wipers are included, but have not been installed at this point. A warn 8274 8,000 pound winch that has been rebuild and new cable, 150 feet, is also included as well as other parts I have forgotten about. I will take off $600 if you don’t want the winch and mount and price is negotiable with bartering for hunting supplies or other items possible. I am willing to deliver for $1 per loaded mile within a few hundred miles with payment up front.”
UPDATE: This is back on eBay. I’ve added a few more pics.
(11/03/09) This looks good.
“You are bidding on a 1947 WILLYS CJ2A. Frame off rebuild 10 years ago, garaged & summer driven only since. Original except for front hubs, tires,. top and added roll bar.”
Here are 3 images taken by Alfred Palmer in December of 1941. These three photographs were taken at the Toledo Willys Plant. There are other images that show the machines used to manufacture parts, but I didn’t really find them very interesting.
“VERY RARE AND HARD TO FIND 48 WILLYS JEEP. HAS 69 CHEVROLET 350 4V, AUTO, 69 NOVA SUB FRAME AND REAR END. NO E`MAILS – if interested or want more info please call DALE @ 502- 396-9088 NO Scammers Phone calls ONLY. my friend listed this for me and I don’t have a computer – phone calls only.”
Sunglasses required to look at this truck! It’s a bright one. I can appreciate a seller telling it like it is. The seller did the painting and notes “I did the painting, there is no bondo under the paint. Sorry the paint is not great.”
“1955 Willys Jeep pickup, This is a pretty straight pickup. The paint is bright, but rough. Someone put a 351-C6 in this pickup, but did a lousy job. They butchered the firewall and front differential pinion shaft. It is in there and seems to run good. Please ask questions ahead of time, I will do my best to answer them, i will also try to get you any photos you want, feel free to ask.”
The seller indicates this is a ’59, however a potential buyer (see Q/A at bottom of ebay page) felt that based on the speedometer design, this was more likely a ’56. I’d agree with the potential buyer, because this document indicates that the serial number of this jeep, 56337 10425, makes this a 1956 DJ-3A, the 425th DJ-3A made.
“This is a 1959 Willys Jeep 2 wheel drive Gala Surrey or Dispatcher project. These are rare and valuable vehicles when they are restored, but this one isn’t. It needs A LOT of restoration, but what’s here is in fairly good shape. It would make a good starting point for a restoration. Fortunately, these are not too hard to work on. I bought this many years ago and have slowly been collecting a few parts, but I have too many projects and not enough time or money. This project has to go. This is a body & frame and axles and some parts. There is no motor or transmission. I have a correct type motor and correct column shift T 96 transmission with overdrive, but they are listed seperately on ebay and not included with this listing (see my other listings). The guy I got it from had started to convert it to a 6 cylinder motor and was going to make a sand buggy out of it. He removed the original motor mounts and put some other mounts in, but I don’t know what engine they are for. He didn’t do any significant damage to the frame, and the correct motor mounts should go right back on the frame”
