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.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
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 .
We’ve a got a jeeper looking for a tub. Anyone have one near Bend?
“I’m looking for a CJ3A tub. Years 49-53 if possible. Would be willing to pay cash if it’s a good deal.”
UPDATE: Was $1500. **SOLD**
This MB comes with a brand new body. The rest of the parts appear to be a bit rougher.
“Project jeep includes rolling frame, original 4 cylinder engine, extra front end. Engine ran when parked. This is a project! Please, serious buyers only. We are not willing to trade.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
(10/01/09) It’s a bit rough.
“
1957 Willys Jeep forward control. has Ford v-8 runs needs plugs wires, rotor. body is rust free and fairly straight. $2500.00.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,000
“This Jeep has been 95% restored. All the mechanics was done by Edgewater Jeep and the paint was done by Sunshine Custom Paint. All the chrome was done by Collins Custom Plating (including the pot medal) and there is a lot of chrome including engine parts. This is a great Jeep to have. It is 2WD (not 4WD) drive. The Jeep has “3 on-the-tree”, left hand seating. This is NOT a postal Jeep. It has the “I” beam front axle, which is the old school Jeep”
The paint job makes it difficult to tell, but it looks like the side panel on the driver’s side is a bit rough (rust?) at the bottom edge. The top sure fits funkily …
“Great 4×4 vehicle! This Jeep has a v8 small block 283 2bbl carb. 1,600.00 obo for more info call(530)432-9277 (ask for steve) or e-mail sjdana@live.com”
The body looks wee bit rough, but it sounds as if the drive train will get you where you want to go.
“Its a 48′ Willys CJ2A that has the following: Full roll cage, RCI 5 pt. harness with seats, and quick release steering wheel. The engine is a chevy V-6 4.3 with power steering and 3 speed tranny. The suspension is Rusty’s leafs and shocks, around 6″ of lift. Front axle is a Dana 30 with super lift hubs and rear axle is AMC 20 with 1 piece axle shaft. Both have 4.88 gears and lockers. It has 4 wheel disc breaks, steel braided lines, and custom drive shafts…”
Here’s a project CJ-3B. The pics don’t really show enough to know if this is a good deal or not.
“Selling my project 1964 cj3b. All parts are there and its all original except seats and wheels. No body rot but needs some sheetmetal work.Contact Scott@ (530)257-3630. $900.00 OBO”
Here’s a good looking, fairly stock CJ-2A.
“1948 WILLYS CJ2A FOR SALE. CLEAR TITLE, RUNS GOOD, CAN BE LICENSED AND STREET DRIVEN. ASKING 3000.00 OBO”
A reader sent me to a Craigslist-like website for the sale of all kinds of items in the Phillipines (I’ll save that discussion for a post tomorrow). Along the journey, I came across the website for MD JUAN, a Phillipine based company that some of you are probably aware of that does jeep restorations and supplies parts to resellers all over the world, including North America.
So, it’s clear that at least some jeep body parts are being exported from the Phillipines into the United States through 5 different US Resellers. Moreover, the company has been in business in some fashion since 1967, so it’s been doing it a while. So, perhaps there is some way to work with those importers to bring in stainless body parts (for those interested in non-Jewels stainless)?
Also interesting, MD JUAN sells 1945 MBs. No price is listed, however they do include an email address.
This looks like a nice straight, non-abused CJ-3B.
” 64 CJ3B with all factory stock drivetrain. 134 F-Head Engine. Gears are 4:27 ratio. WITH 31,013 ORIGINAL MILES. Everything works with the exception of emergency brake and gas gauge. There is no top with this Jeep. The Jeep Runs and Drives EXCELLENT! I have added a Rancho 2 1/2 inch lift with Ranch R-S 5000 Shocks. Tires are Interco Super Swamper TRXUS radials mounted on what I believe are vintage Jackman 15X10 Wheels. Alson has new factory style exhaust system. This is a very quiet, very solid Jeep CJ. The body has 2 small rust holes on the lower right body tub…”
