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 .
The engine is out, but this sure looks like a good price.
“1962 Jeep CJ-5 Willys. NO RUST (even on floor) I think it might even have the orginal paint. Currently has engine remove (I was going to do an engine swap). Comes with orginal engine (probally needs rebuild). I have owned and used the Jeep for a few years around my property. Transmission, transfer case, and axles are in great shape. There are many different engines that can be swaped into it or you can rebuild the orginal 134 f-head. CALLS ONLY ON EMAILS.

(04/09/09) Honestly, I’m not sure if that’s a paint job or paint peeling. The seller says this is a ’46, but the grille and body look more like they are an MB/GPW. so, the actual year of this vehicle might be earlier.
“1946 JEEP WILLYS RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT CALL RYAN ”
Here’s a solid looking CJ-2A with a CJ-3A windshield. Fruitland is only about 20 miles north from me.
“1946 Willy’s Jeep, 4 cylinder 4 wheel drive. It has a three speed transmission with a two speed Warren overdrive. The springs have been resprung. It has a full soft top in good shape, and it also comes with a bra top. Brand new all season radial tires. After market heater that really warms. New clutch, Runs great. Body in good shape, could use a paint job. Weak points: Windshield wipers needs one motor, bubble in hood (see photo), needs choke cable.”
Thanks to Jim sending the link on this. Obviously, this is a rare event.
“1941 Bantam Reconnaissance Car (BRC-40). Restored – starts, run, drives great. The vehicle was originally purchased and restored by a pretty well known figure in the Bantam Auto Club circle sometime in the late 80’s/early 90’s. I have a one page letter from this person detailing his efforts to obtain and restore the vehicle (which I will give to the buyer). It passed through a few owners until my purchase in 2001. Over the years I have upgraded/corrected various pieces and parts. It comes with a few spare parts, manuals, and a top.
The vehicle is 99%+ complete and accurate. The body tub is original – ie. not a reproduction like many others out there. The items that I believe are incorrect (or missing) are:
The choke and throttle knobs are the not the early “bulls-eye” type – although I have what I believe to be one correct replacement.
The oil pan does not have a skid plate – although I have a correct, original oil pan with skid plate that needs to be cleaned up and attached.
The rear tool box lid locks are incorrect.
The reflectors are of the King-Bee type (as used on the FORD GP) and I believe should in fact be Triflex SR-71s.
When I purchased the vehicle, it had a reproduction windshield frame. It was a pretty accurate copy, but a reproduction nonetheless. I sold it to another BRC-40 owner and acquired an original frame a few years back. It needs some work (arms straightened, etc and needs the latches to the cowl when in its upright position), but it’s in pretty nice condition. In fact, it has most of its original paint.
The front bumper is an OK reproduction, but I acquired a much better replacement from Ken Hake which has the correct rivets and hand crank guide.
Lastly, in the spirit of full disclosure, I am not sure the front leaf springs are correct/original. They may be correct, but again, I am not 100% sure. Lastly she needs a good bath – she has sat in my barn with my other vehicles for the past nine years and has collected a coating of dust and dirt. It was near freezing when I took the photos – I put a new battery in her and she started right up. Lastly, after sitting for nearly nine years, the brakes are a bit mushy. I’ll see if I can rectify this prior to sale (no promises).”
