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 .
“1948 Willys Custom Jeep with a Ford 302 V-8 Engine, 4-Speed Manual Transmission and lots of other extras that makes for a perfect hunting/farming/ranching vehicle. This jeep has had a lot of alterations but runs and drives good. The body is straight and the drive train seems to be tight. The engine has limited blow-by but does show some exhaust smoke. Some reconditioning may be needed but it should provide you with a lot of great service.”
“1947 Jeep Willys C-J2A, original 4 cylinder flathead. 3-speed transmission. New brakes, shocks, and exhaust. Weight Kit on front, and 3point hitch. PTO $6500 OBO”
1. MY CAGE:
Here’s the cage in the jeep. Yeah, I’m happy about this. It’s a little chromier color than I wanted, but I suspect I’ll be covering it with wrap soon. I already hit my head once, lol …
And here’s a video:
2. MY THOUGHTS ON BUILDING THE CAGE
And an overview of my experience:
This post reflects my experience researching and building my roll cage. My goal with this post is to eliminate the need for others to spend the hours and hours I spent researching weighing options and deciding upon a cage. Note that while I have had a couple cages and my dad built two cages (back in the 70s), this was the first cage I designed, bent and built myself.
It needs a new rear driveline. Otherwise, it looks to be a very good price.
“1949 Jeep willys, 350 4 bolt main 400 horse, B&M shifter, turbo 350 tranny, 8k lbs winch, new soft top, newer tires, Need cash, jeep I know its worth, my loss your gain, clean title from washington, Jeep runs and drives but does need new custom drive line made for rear”
“Have a newly rebuilt Chevy SM420 transmission. Bought it originally for my Willys wagon and never installed after going with a different drive train. This trans is one of the best for off roading due to its low 1st gear and is great in short wheelbase rigs since its only about a little over a foot long. This Trans also comes with an extra 420 that is not in great shape but its extra parts! I also have a Advanced Adapters SM420 to Dana 18 alum. adapter along with a twin stick Dana 18 T-case for sale as well. Asking $300 for the two trannys. If you have any questions just give me a call at 909 519 5787 Thanx!”

Jay went to go look at this jeep and provided the following description. Thanks Jay!
The frame horns are a little screwed up in frontand has a rebuilt studabaker straight 6 in it instead of the ford motor.correct tranand transfer, runs good. The tub is the cleanest gpw tub ive seen except 1 hole that was cut in dash for a radio??. easily repairable. Very little rust except for a little by the axe/shovel location.Still has tool box lids, data plates on glove box, gas tand and sump, two original front seats. Frame number was “welded over” when motor mounts were changed for motor. Front crossmember was modified to drop radiator a little. I don’t think he is that negotiable.
Here’s a description from the sellers:

Pete, from the Willys-Overland Jeepster Club, emailed me a comment regarding Jeepsters the other day, teaching me something I didn’t know about Jeepsters (No Factory made 4wd models from ’48 – ’51). He had a link to his website, so I checked it out.
I finally figured out what Santa rides in when there is no snow for his sleigh … he uses a bright red Jeepster! Drop by JeepsterClub.com and learn more about their organization.
