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 .
(02/21/2012) umm … The jeep I am looking at in the pictures doesn’t jibe with the ‘great condition’ claim.
“1953 Jeep Willys
Great condition.
Jeep runs and drives, 4×4 works, tires and rims all original. Just needs a paint job, and get the seat reupholstered. This is a rare jeep and is a great project vehicle. California pink slip in hand and tags are already paid for and current. This was supposed to be a father son project car, but things came up and we don’t have the time or money for it.”
UPDATE: Still Available. The year has been changed to a 1945.
(02/02/2012) Runs, but needs work.
“I have a 1949 Willys. Flat head 4cly. It does run, but needs a little TLC with the engine and body/drive train. She’s not purrrfect, but she is old school and very cool! Call Cori 503-752-5538 for any questions or more pics.”
“I have an 1948 2A for sale, it will need body work and front frame horns. It runs good and the trans seems fine the brakes work well also. It comes and harrison heater. I am open to offers and I am asking $1750, I will provide a bill of sale with the jeep.
It is located in Cranbury, NJ 08512.”
This past weekend Gustavo and his CJ-3A participated in a vintage car show in Costa Rica. He took some pics for us.
He writes, “Last weekend I was invited by the Costa Rican Antique Car Club to an Expo they organized and I wanted to share some pictures with you guys. There were around a hundred different cars, from Fords Model T up to a DeLorean, and obviously Jeeps where there, including my 1949 CJ-3A. It was a great Jeep weekend. The 1932 Hot Rod was Meguiars Car of the Year (at Costa Rica) and they are taking it to SEMA.”
These first pics are of the jeeps. More pics of the car show are on the next page. Gustavo’s is the blue CJ-3A.
Chris is selling his beautiful truck. He has a complete history of ownership as well. Looks like a good price to me.
“Here is a brief history of this truck. The truck was originally owned by two brothers that used it in upper Michigan on their farm for light work duty. They kept it in the original condition and when the second of the two brothers died, the truck went to their nephew. The nephew is about my age and he didn’t know much about the truck accept that his instructions were not to sell it to anyone that wanted to modify it, change it or not appreciate the nature of it. Another younger guy looked at it before me but he wanted to turn it into a Mud jumper truck and the nephew couldn’t bear to see that happen.
I’ve loved Willys jeeps since a kid but my Dad could not afford one. After my Dad died I found this truck. I’ve owned this truck about 15 years. Always garaged, never driven after November or before April due to salt and never abused. I use it for work around the yard hauling stuff and going to the dump.
It has the original L-134 flathead 4 cylinder engine which makes about 60 horsepower. Good compression in all the cylinders and I have not replaced the valves so I add the lead substitute to the fuel. I had the generator replaced last fall since she wasn’t keeping a charge, and now she puts out about 150 amps with the original 6 volt system. There are no accessories in this truck, no fan heater, no defroster, no radio, just like 1948. The heat is knob down by the passenger floor. The wipers are vacuum. The speedometer is stuck at 20mph but she only goes about 40 mph tops anyway any faster and you have to really hang on! The truck did come with an oil filter, which seems like it was an option in 1948.
She runs great. The interior and seats are all original as is the headliner. The turn signals are an add on since they didn’t have them in 1948. The shift linkage is a 3 on the tree with the transfer case and hi/lo range on the floor.”
“I have a 1946 Willys Cj-2A Jeep. Not fully restored. Needs a different carburator, finish connecting the wiring and gauges, and a brake job.
It has a rebuilt engine
All body work done
New bumpers
New side mirror
New paint
New Gauges
New wiring
New Seats
New military tires, never been used.
Will consider trade for good stock trailer, Polaris Ranger, Gator, Mule”
Hard to tell just how much value is here. That body looks bad.
“buick V6, 35″ tires
will need to be towed
dana 44 rear, closed knuckle 27 front
frame is very solid
body is very rotten
may or may not run- don’t expect it to. engine is not seized but will need work
has some sort of winch
selling for a friend, so don’t ask too many questions
don’t waste my time
this is a project, obviously. know this before you call pestering me.
would make a sweet mud or woods rig
overall not bad”
