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 .
So I got nothing on this one, it’;s really rough, maybe you need some parts for a project but with the overall condition I would worry about most anything off this one that is drivetrain so talking like brackets and the smalls.
The real reason this stood out was the Data Plate, a little while back there was a CJ-6 where the Model Number was smaller then the Serial Number, and here is another similar age almost identical model number smaller then serial number and the screws are legit Willys data plate screws IMO.
The Data Plate is tad Wavy so I think its been off the rig one time, probably to paint it red, who knows.
So just adding to that story for folks. My initial guess is that they pre-stamped these model numbers in a different area then the final Serial Numbers and the Stamps were different, who knows, that’s my version of the story.
Would like a Milwaukee Battery Drill be a good trade for this? Too much? I’m kind of at grab something off a Holiday Sale rack and try it out as a trade if you need some small bits off this one. But like have a bit driver set with the deal so it’s turn key here is a working drill/impact and some new bits and drivers load up and head home.
I have a ’48 Parts Truck that would work for that thing all day if the person needed the thing.
I think even the smaller Snow Blowers is too much trade anymore they are darn pricey.
Information from seller:
It’s beat up but it’s a willeys. Classic car. What’s it worth to you? Let me know. Will do trades
If you search up “End of the Line” or “Last Ride” in the search, or select it from the Category List, which I only stumbled on this on eWillys this week. It fits the bill for sure.
Ran when parked? If it was not for a bad starter it would be running right now.
Side note this happens to Post #1000 on my list, it’s technically over that, but per the vehicle list I use for posting which is a Word Document to pre-populate the posting text and semi format the posts this is Post #1000 on that list. The Word Doc today is 451 Pages long with 106,092 words! Obviously, I copy and paste a lot of the Information from Seller, but it’s a minor accomplishment for me to hit this milestone. It could be Post 10,000 if I just posted to post and hit some magic threshold, there is a lot of sketchy ads and junk beside what I post out there. I never wanted to Post just to Post.
Information from seller:
Ok so this jeeps in pretty ruff shape, but frame is good along with rears and tyranny, the thing that makes it worth it, is the super hurricane engine, that did run years ago, not locked up..if the starter wasn’t junk, I could have it running..
Down from $8k, listed 15 Weeks ago as well. Looks like it needs some TLC, but some things are the usual suspects that all rigs need. Project for sure.
Information from seller:
A 1949 Jeep is up for grabs. This is a Barn Find that is fully operational. I had the motor gone throw and replaced all the basics to get this running. New tires all around. Come check it out. Going for 8K or best offer. Miss type on year of Jeep.
Looks pretty solid start for a project. The issue at times is how far apart these become in the process till they are sold, but that’s the fun* at times. That V8 is going to put off some heat, so may need to think about some ways to mitigate that ahead of cutting this up and getting too far into that project.
*some assembly required
Information from seller:
Here for sale is a 1959 Jeep Forward Control fc170, this truck has had some rust work done to it and needs some rust work done to it haha. Pretty good shape overall though and is a good start. Comes with a Chevy 350 motor and the transmission/transfer case/overdrive. Has brand new tires on it. Have a lot of parts that go with it to put it back together. $4000 obo, send offers -need gone. NO TRADES. Loomis Ca
Navy tribute build. It looks like a neat rig. Looks like it would do well in local celebrations and would be a neat feature at local shows. Not for the 100pt original club, but I think its well done overall and looks like they did a good job on the build.
Information from seller:
Selling for the family of a deceased friend. Perfect condition. Done as a tribute to Navy SeeBees to honor his father. Everything has been rebuilt from the ground up. Hand made 40 cal Replica with turret. Comes with numerous period correct accessories . [hidden information] nine seven 3 4 zero five zero zero 1 4
Now this is cool if it’s legit and I hope that it is. CJ-6, good price looks solid in most areas, has that 0-9 transition period speedo which I like, its beyond rough looking but still a cool piece.
Anyone else catch that post about this style speedo that was stolen from a USPS shipment and it was found on eBay, they are just too unique to have a near perfect one out there they really stand out amongst the crowd IMO. As far as some super rare unobtanium deal, NO, and my opinion is one of rare does not equal valuable. If anything rare stuff is a liability at times.
OK back to this rig, I could use this for a project…. But you are always better to buy the best example you can afford. It’s cool mostly due to the price point and you can do some basic clean up and probably have a nice safe, running, and driving project for under $10k. Line-X or anything can be tricky if put over rust, I doubt its physically Line-X because that stuff is the real deal. Hopefully its just the FLAPS rubber in a can that peels right off.
The half cab is also a cool feature.
Information from seller:
1958 Willys jeep CJ6. This is a CJ6, which is about 2 foot longer wheel base than a CJ5. It has a painless wiring harness and converted to 12 volt system. I have a new steel gas tank as well for it. I was going to use it for hunting but lost interest. Also has Line X throughout interior. It currently doesn’t run but ran when parked. Needs new brake cylinders and fuel line
Seems high for the condition on this one, but the local market might be a bit different then other areas. But has an OD and PTO Winch, I don’t think they are overselling the condition and once you are there in person that’s a whole big part of being a serious buyer vs just low balling an offer, look at the fine details of the rig, crawl under it, but it needs brakes so chock those wheels! Be safe out there.
Information from seller:
1957 CJ 6 Jeep Condition fair runs, needs brakes 3 speed with overdrive Braden PTO Winch
All for $250. Or : $10 cj5 soft doors $150 Holley Carburetor that the same as a YF. $50 YF carburetor $20 each 15×8 wheels – 5 total $100 Willy’s Truck D25 Warn auto hubs $10 Willy’s 2A dashboard $50 Willy’s rear Frame replacement bumper Rear you see Make Offer.
This could be a good opportunity for someone to get in the mix and follow your passion for Jeep Willys. (I don’t have any background on this ad, for example is it $7k for everything listed?)
Information from seller:
We’ve moved to a new location, and we’re phasing out the CJ5 restoration business. Here’s a great opportunity to expand or start a restoration business for Jeeps. Included are 4+ CJ5s, a roller M38, several 225 V6 engines, an inline 6, 138 F-head, crates of parts, pallets of axles, xfer/trans etc. Plus another location of parts not pictured! Come out and have a look. We’re doing early car restoration and simply don’t have the room to continue with the jeeps. Please include your phone number, that’ll show that you have actual interest. Hopefully that will weed out the “is this still available” crowd and show that you actually read the ad. Thanks Dave
