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 .
Looks in good shape. It is listed as a 2A, but may be a 3A.
“1949 willys C J 2 A
All original flat head engine
All gauges and electrical work as should
4×4 all works as should

Front trailer ball makes spotting trailers easy.
I have owned this jeep for 15 years. It’s been a lot of fun gets a lot of attention. Very easy to maintain. parts are still very accessible through JC Whitney.
This is a very nice example of a 70 year old 4 wheel drive willys.”
Looks like a good price. Has some updates. Listed as a 1949, but it has a 2A body. Mostly likely a ’48 2A.

The seller explains that this is registered as a 1957, but is actually a 1962.
“For Sale 1957 Jeep Forward Control 3/4 ton Pick Up Truck Model FC170
This Jeep FC170 is currently licensed, insured and driven almost every day
Sale to be executed via “Bill of Sale” only as GA does not title vehicles this old. I will also provide the current registration which most states accept for non-titled vehicles (check with your state before bidding).
This truck was completely gone through to make it a safe and reliable daily driver. It is driven locally almost every day (driven over 2500 miles in 2 years). I have taken it on several trips of 100 miles or more and it is very reliable. It will only do about 50 mph so it’s not really an interstate cruiser. Overdrive could be added to gain another 5 mph for about $800 from “Herm The Overdrive Guy.”
THE GOOD (Mostly things done to make safe and reliable)
* New brake master cylinder
* New brake wheel cylinders (all 4 wheels)
* New brake shoes (all 4 wheels)
* New Brake drums (rear)
* Front brake drums were turned

* New steel and rubber brake lines (all)
* New exhaust, muffler and tailpipe
* New emergency brake cables (front and rear)
* New shocks
* New speedometer cable (speedometer was in-op when I purchased it but currently reads 14418…I’m certain it’s turned over)
* Added new Volts, Oil Pressure & Water Temp gauges
* New gas tank, sending unit, fuel line and skid plate
* New electric fuel pump
* New 1 wire alternator

THE BAD
* Some rust (see pics) but nothing you’d be ashamed of from appearances (exception might be the bottom left side of the tailgate). The bed floor was rusty and was replaced with solid sheet steel by previous owner
* Engine runs and drives fine but is old and a bit tired, has a lifter tick but runs and runs like a sewing machine
* Windshield is not cracked but has wiper blade wear marks on passenger side and frosting at some edges
* Wing windows, rear cab windows, back glass and driver’s door glass all fine but passenger door glass has cracks but is usable and will roll up and down
OTHER FEATURES
* 10×15 aluminum wheels with newer tires (80%+ tread remaining)
* Original front bumper modified/fabricated for 8000 pound Warn Winch mounted on 2″ receiver hitch tray (can be removed and mounted on rear or trailer and it uses welder leads to plug into battery circuit)
* Fabricated Scout bumper for the rear with 2″ receiver hitch with 4 & 7 trailer light plugs
* Added tool box with lid lifting struts to the front of the bed
COMMENTS
This has been the most amazing vehicle I’ve ever owned. It gets more attention that any Muscle Car or 4WD vehicle I have ever owned or known. It’s not a trailer queen by any means but would be a great candidate for a total restoration (good bones and complete). Every-time I stop to go in a store there are people waiting for me to come out to ask “WHAT IS THAT?” I’ve had as many as 10 people waiting for me in the Lowes parking lot, even women who in my experience aren’t usually that interested. It doesn’t go real fast, 45-50 tops but it is very reliable. I would drive it anywhere if it weren’t for the speed and gas mileage isn’t that great either with low gears.
It’s registered as a 1957 because that’s what was on the Minnesota title said but Jeep Serial Number lists indicate it is actually a 1962.” Continue reading →
This looks like a pretty complete Mutt that’s in very good shape. Might be a good price.
“1965 M-151A1 – Ford Military Army “Jeep” from the Vietnam era.
4 cyclinder engine w/ 4 speed standard transmission
Working 4×4
Great running condition. Top end of the motor was just rebuilt, less than 600 miles ago.
Fires right up every time.
Body is in good solid shape.
Paint is older but has great patina.
Interior is in great condition
All canvas is in great shape, seats and top.
Newer tires
Drum brakes recently serviced.
This is a great M151, fun to drive around town. Vehicle is not recommended for speeds over 45 mph.
Will be great for driving in your local parade or cruising on the weekends.
Clean California title.
Price: $7,500.00 OBO”
(06/24/2013) Given it doesn’t look like there was any gas filler on the driver’s side, I’m not sure what body this is front. Maybe DJ or repro? Looks like a nice build.
“1948 Willys CJ3A , 327 Chevy Engine, 4-Speed Granny Low , Twin Stick Transfer Case, Lifted, New Goodyears, Roll-Cage, Tow Bar, 4-Point Seat Belt System, Tilt-Steering Column, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Heater. Good Condition!”
“1948 Willys cj2a. The Jeep is very nice and can be enjoyed as is or restored. Engine recently rebuilt. Great running condition. $6000 obo or trade for newer Polaris atv or small tractor loader. This is a great investment Jeep as they are getting harder to find. If you have a lot of land or a camp site this is the perfect toy.”
We believe we are the 4th owner only in it’s life. The mileage is approximately 77,800 original miles with the original engine. Does it have character yes but runs and drives great. Top end is about 50 mph and will run all day.
It has been converted to 12v and this winter we did the following
– Brake Pads, Rotors, Calipers, Hoses, & Steel Lines
– Spark Plugs & Wires
– Ingnition & Coil
– Distributor Cap & Rotor
– Lots of Gaskets and Seals
– Transfer Case Oil Pan
– Choke and Throttle
– Steering Stabilizer
– New Guages (except for odometer)
We have the original rims for the smaller tires if you want them. Comes with a bikini top and a soft top. The best news is those areas where it normally has rust has NONE. Nothing in the wheel wells and not even any in the tool box. The original paint has been painted over as it was originally the deep harvest red. The rest has all the character that makes this Willys so popular. “
