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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
Looks like a good band for the buck.
“Jeep Willys 1952. Good mechanical condition. No rust. Clear title. Iowa license. Price Firm.”
This looks solid, but needs a little bit of work.
“1947 CJ 2A, bought 10 years ago from a farmer who painted the tub and did minor mechanical work to the jeep. Since owned I have replaced the following parts:
Crate Go devil engine with less then 500 miles on it since installation
Transmission ( 3 speed)
clutch
gas tank
radiator/ fan/ belt
4 new 16 inch tires
4 new 16 inch rims
all new brakes
new Brake Master cylinder
new parking Brake
2 re built front locking hubs
3 new pedals
1 new steering wheel
horn
4 new leaf springs
4 new shocks
new rear seat
new converter to 6v to 12v
windshield wipers 2
new exhaust system
Jeep is 100 percent road ready and off road ready, 4×4 works perfectly in high and low. Engine runs perfectly no smoke lots of power.
The Body has not been touched since I purchased it 10 years ago, it is painted Red and has some signs of rust under the paint and a few small dents and dings, The frame is straight.
All body lights work along with headlights and brake lights.
The jeep is a CJ 2A ( has ID tags) with one exception the farmer I bought it from put a Cj 3a windshield frame on it. The glass in the frame has been replaced with new glass and new wipers were installed the wipers work off compression of the motor.
The Tub itself from the outside is in fair shape, the seats are newly covered and have no ware or tare . The floor in the tub is plated and the seats are NOT mounted correctly as per the year and model.
This jeep is 100 percent mechanically good to go. I have no more time to put into this jeep, it has been garage kept since I bought it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD**. Was $6000.
“This is a 1959 willys sitting on a s-10 frame. The truck is titled in a 59 willys though, Motor is a 350 sbc with a tubo 350 tranmission, All is pretty much custom built. Very fun to drive and reliable would drive it anywhere. Took it on a 3 hour cruise just this weekend. I would like to trade this for a daily driver of the same value or another rat rod. I also have a straight front axle for it if you would like to purchase it as well. Price is obo for cash.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was ON EBAY
(01/15/2012) The body has the Willys Script and appears in good condition. This might be a pre glovebox body!
“You are bidding on a 1941 Willys jeep with a small block 350 chevrolet with a mild cam, headers, edelbrock manifold and a holly carb. This jeep runs great, looks good and has 16 inch rims wrapped in 35 inch mud tires with a full size spare and matching rim. Please remember you are bidding on a 1941 Willys classic. The only reason that I am selling this is that I’m getting married and the future wife wants a sandrail. ”
UPDATE: Status unknown. This was listed at $15,000.
(05/30/2012) This sounds like a nice jeep with a nice drive train.
“This is kinda rare, A cj6 with all the factory options! 1973 cj6, amc v8, t18 jeep 4 speed (6.32 or granny), power steering, power brakes, 4.27 gear ratio with a limited slip dana 44 rear with one piece axles (std d30 front). All the best amc jeep had at the time! 103 inch wheelbase! The motor was replaced with a re-manufactured long-block about 4 or 5 years ago, the trans, transfercase and paint all re-done about 10 years ago, it has a few scratches and chips but looks beautiful and runs great, It is stored inside and gets used less than 500 miles a year, needs a new home. Also has prp seats, about a 4 inch lift and 35 inch tires. I will delete ad if sold. Sorry but no trades.”
Jim forwarded me the following images he took of the MBs at the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson, Az.
Jim writes, “The 390th Bomb Group Museum has a B-17 flying fortress on display, a long with a MB that has been restored and donated to the museum. It needs a fuel tank flush, new radiator hoses, and I bet a carb rebuild. I hope to assist them on this the next time I make it home. There is also a MB on display in another hanger that is part of a display dedicated to the Red Tails fighter group. I am sending a few pics of them. They have one of the largest aircraft display’s around!”
Here’s the 390th Bomb Group MB:
And this is the Red Tails fighter group MB:
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $5700.
“I purchased this jeep 5 years ago in Washington State where I restored it and used it on mountain trails, hunting/fishing while based at Fairchild AFB near Spokane. After being transferred to Andrews AFB it’s spent most of its time in my garage, other than trips into town, etc. It has a very efficient low mileage (under 45,000 miles) 4DR6 2.7L diesel engine mated to an iron 4speed manual transmission and transfer case. The steering is right hand drive as is typical for these late model willy’s from Japan. It’s been well maintained but shows some wear for its age such as repairs in the soft top, worn seats, etc. I also have the driver, passenger, and rear doors that are included in the sale. About 3 years ago the windshield wiper motor stopped working, so I’ve relied on the back up manual wiper in its place. I don’t have the time to research a new wiper motor or have it rebuilt, which is why I’m letting my jeep go at such a low price… While doing some research on this vehicle I discovered through discussion boards that individuals are paying up to $14K for these jeeps by the time the import cost, taxes, and all other expenses are calculated. It’s never been driven in the rain/snow here in Maryland due to rust concerns. This jeep has proven extremely reliable to me and capable of anything I’ve put in its path, you won’t be dissapointed.
Since I’ve owned it I’ve addressed the following:
-New windshield
-5 new 8 ply tubeless tires
-resealed the front and rear axles
-replaced all of the brakes (11″ drum brakes)
-installed new rear driveshaft
-replaced driveline parking brake
-eliminated rust from rear fenders by removing old sheet metal and welding in new
-Water pump was rebuilt 1 month ago
-New fan/alternator belt last month
-replaced thermostat & hoses
-installed inline coolant block heater
-M38 speedometer (replaced old unit that was in kilometers per hr)
***note*** speedometer works great but odometer recently stopped working
-installed turn signal control (unit was missing when it arrived from Japan)
-new pintle hitch with 2″ ball
-new shovel, axe, & jerry can
-installed farm jack on front bumper
-new M38 mirrors
-installed passenger seat from a CJ-5 (seat was missing when it arrived from Japan)
-installed Warn Locking hubs for the Dana 30 front axle
-engine oil & filter have been changed every 3,000 miles or 6 months (which ever comes first)
****the engine is barely broke in at 45-50K miles, burns no oil, and there are absolutely no leaks from the engine or drivetrain components.Yea”
