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 .
This jeep looks like it rides a little high. Either it’s got re-arched springs or tall shackles.
“This rig replaces the standard engine with a 1972 Ford Pinto 2.0L engine for extra kick! Installed are a FRESH TRANSMISSION and a FRESH TRANSFER CASE!!! Aftermarket shocks are installed both front and rear, and combined with the installed front hub locks and front hitch, makes this a great basic off-roading package! Comes with an aftermarket rollbar, set of 5 original military tires, an original military gas can, and set of 4 Super Swamper 32″ off-road tires”
There’s a good deal of junk here, but the opening bid is only $195, so maybe there’s some value. I can see there’s the column shift parts at the very least.
“You are bidding on a 1946 JEEP WILLYS. 4 cylinder, 4 wheel drive low. Column shift, transmission & under gear is all there. Full radiator assembily w/shrowd. Floating hubs for front, starter. Overall condition is restorable. Willys OJ2A 32336. Jeep does not have title….”
This appears in pretty good stock shape. There’s a few small dings, but nothing obvious appears wrong.
“1951 Willys CJ3A original body rust free California vehicle. 95k miles some restoration has been done runs and drives well has never seen a New England winter always garaged $5000.00, exceptional condition Call Jim at 603-765-6905”
A reader sent this our direction. One interesting feature is the rectangular square on the driver’s side. That’s not something standard is it? It includes an Overdrive.
“been stored original cond one repaint originally red professional overhauled original engine with original owners manual towbar 1943 army trailer avail also”
“Pretty cool old CJ3b with restored western snow plow. New hydraulics installed for plow. new AT tires, original ’60s mag wheels. Plows great. Starts and runs easy, but smokes like a chimney. Original motor with many years and miles with spare short block ready to rebuild. New paint about two years old. We’ve sold our place in the mountains, so I have no need for this cool toy any more. I am willing to trade this antique Jeep with plow for a Harley Davidson street glide, or police model electra glide or similar HD motorcycle.”
“1954 Willys Jeep, CJ3b. Has a roll bar and a tow bar. In good shape. It’s been sitting so it needs a new battery, seals for the carburator and brake lines. Had a baby, husband wouldn’t let me put a baby seat in it. :)”
I got a couple problems with this jeep. The seller claims the jeep has a “Frame Up Full Restoration”, however given the jeep has no engine or engine related parts, the use of the term full is pretty innaccurate. Clearly, there’s been no restoration from the frame downward, as the U bolts are rusted, the shocks are greasy, etc. Also, check out the roll cage; there isn’t even an attempt to place a plate underneath the fiberglass body to sandwich the body at the very least, let alone a proper attempt to tie the roll cage into the frame. A stock buick 225 engine is rated at about 150 – 160 hp, not 175hp. The paint job does look very nice and their appear to be a number of other new parts as well. The opening bid price is $3995.
“Up for highest offer is a 1947 Willys Jeep painted 1965 Ford Poppy Red. Original frame and Willys overland Drivetrain.Needs motor. Frame up full restoration. many aftermarket parts 5000.00 invested . Aftermarket HD fiberglass body and fenders . many parts to much to list. Comes with 1970 Jeepster Commando with Buick Dauntless running V6 engine. You will need to buy the V6 swap kit to link the Buick V6 to the T90 transmission….”
It appears there’s been a good deal of work done on it.
“This is a early 1950’s Willys Jeep with almost complete restoration. The jeep was stripped to the frame and rebuilt from the ground up. It just needs a few things to finish (radiator,wiring,seats). This was my project 4 years ago and just do not have time to finish it. Please email me at hand@my180.net”
