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 pictures are a little pixelated, but the jeep looks great.
“1954 Willy’s CJ-3B Jeep. original running gear, paint 2 yrs old, original color. No rust & has never had any rust, has also been converted to a 12 volt, GM style alt red top optima battery, pertonix electronic distributor, also features overdrive unit. NOS trico wiper motors, I have original boxes. Solex Carb. I have most receipts. Also included original parts book,“NOT a reprint” and the Owner’s manual. I have saved old original parts, Carb, Gen, Dist, & Coil. I have a soft top for the Jeep, although it is not in perfect shape, On the passenger side, there is a 3-4 inch tear near the front, this can easily be fixed, since we do not drive in the wintertime, it is not a big deal to me. Always topless. This is a super clean, solid Jeep, no issues what so ever. I have just taken it as far as I want to and I am ready now to move on to another project. Possible trade for 1966-67 Pontiac Lamons…… $8450.00 OBO. DENNIS 503-458-6014 mkadams@centurytel.net”
You know, it’s just occurred to me I’ve never ridden in a jeepster (that I remember).
“Dark Red 1950 Willys Jeepster Conv,. Totally restored and rebuilt within the last few years. Jeepster mainly used for parades. Good top and side curtains. 6 cyl, 3 speed, 12 volt. Nice, runs & drives great.”
(09/21/09) This looks likes a nicely upgraded flattie.
“For sale is a 1943 FORD GPW (JEEP). The FORD model GPW was also produced as the Willys model MB for the US Government during WWII. This jeep still has a few FORD parts but has been rebuilt/civilianized with parts from other models of jeeps or non-military vehicles. The jeep runs well and includes the following items. -350 Chevrolet V8 -4 bbl Holley carburetor (new) -3-speed manual transmission plus Warn overdrive -Warn 8,000 lb winch with power-out or free-spool out -Transfer case with 2H, 4H, 2L and 4L selection -5.38 front and rear end gear ratio -Model 44 full-floating rear axle -11 inch drum brakes -Double reservoir master brake cylinder -15×8 Chromed steel wheels (including spare) -Electric windshield wipers -Power steering -Tilt steering column -High-back bucket seats -Matching Stewart Warner gauges -Stainless steel dash panel -Full soft top -Sun top with half doors -Heater ….. I have owned this jeep for some time but I have not used it much in the last several years. As such, there are a few items that need to be repaired or replaced due to the extended storage. One electric windshield motor needs replaced. The heater needs a new fan motor and the coolant system reconnected. The winch motor needs new bearings. $4000 O.B.O.”
(08/24/09) This looks like it might be a good price on an updated ’48.
“I have a 1948 willys jeep that I want to sell. I havent went jeeping for over a year. I would rather someone thats going to use it have it. It has a 327ci motor, with a 4speed trans. Spring over lift, and has 35″ tires. Starts and runs good. Mechanicly sound, needs a paint work. I have a 8000lb warn winch that i never mounted that can go with it. I also have two sets of tires, four 35-12.50r15, and five 34-9.50-15 swampers, both are mounted on wheels. ”
UPDATE: This jeep has been for sale for about a year. It was on ebay recently and is now back on Craigslist at a lower price. It was located in Eugene (hence the Oregon Ducks reference), but now is in Santa Clara (apparently).
“1953 CJ3B Willys. If your a hunter this jeep is for you. It will climb anything and go anywhere. If your a Duck fan the color is perfect. No rust and runs great. Black soft top with doors. 3 speed with high/low transfer case. Warren hubs. The jeep has been driven less than a hundred miles in the last 6 years and has always been garaged.”
(05/22/09) Looks pretty stock. I suspect those are some old classic white walls too?
“1947 Willy Jeep in great condition. Runs and drives with no problems or leaks. 3 speed high and low with 4 wheel drive. New rings, electric fuel pump, new gas tank on drivers side, newly recovered back seat, roll bar, new horn, and boots on shifters. Real nice soft top with no tears included. You can take this jeep anywhere with no worries about getting stranded or stuck. Great in the mountains, farm, ranch, or hunting lease. Am looking to get a 4 wheeler so I don,t need anymore. Email phone # if interested.”
The buyer purchased this jeep a couple months ago, but has never gotten this v6 started. Note: it includes an overdrive. This might be a good deal if the engine turns over and you can talk the seller down a bit (after all, it’s non running & needs new tires) on price. Then go through this check list as these are the most likely issues:
Is the carb getting gas? If not, the filter is likely plugged or the fuel pump is not working
Is the distributor getting spark? Pull a plug, leaving connected to the plug wire, set it against the block, and watch for a spark (easiest at night).
If 1 & 2 are good, check and see if the distributor is simply backwards. rotate the cap 180 degrees (or the wires — this happened to me this summer when finishing my engine build).
(01/21/09) The picture isn’t quite clear enough to be certain, but it appears the passenger step goes all the way to the body rather than turning inward near the end. Also, there’s no drain hole on the side. Either this is a fiberglass body or the metal body has been modified.
