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 .
I’m not sure I’ve seen that model of soft top. The side windows angle and the back area (can’t tell if there is a back or not) is pretty wide open. This looks like it a ‘lefty’ to me.
“Up for sale is this 1948 CJ5,4X4 willys jeep, as you see the Jeep is clean and has been in the family many yrs, it has been well taken care of and runs great, new tires and wheels, very dependable, it is a daily driver, with a clear title…. I will take 4000 OBO………… hit me up if you interested”
This looks like a reasonable price, though I see a bit of rust along parts of the body. The top looks in very good condition. I can’t see if this is a VEC or not.
“Theis is a 1946 Willys Jeep with a 3 speed on the column. It is very rare! It has the original 4-cylinder flat head motor in it. The motor has been rebuilt and the transmission and transfer care have been checked. A new clutch was put in when the motor was rebuilt. It has new exaust and it also has new front and rear end.”

Brett found this unusually painted CJ-3A. I can’t tell if this is a well executed canvas of trees and limbs or an arbitrary splashing of paint.

This is the 2nd beautiful restoration from Vista I have seen. The first one is posted here. The seller is as meticulous regarding the description as he is on the restoration itself!
“Background on VEC #14,513 – During the past seven years I have restored four 1946 CJ2A jeeps to original condition. This jeep is by far the best and is the rarest of the four. It also represents my last jeep restoration project. I work at the San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park and my first restoration of a CJ2A is being used in a trained animal show there every day. I had so much fun, with this project that it got me started restoring them for fun. #14,513 is my best restoration and I expected it to be my “keeper”.
As far as I can trace the history, except for the last year before I purchased it, when it was in Oregon, this jeep is a California native (at least for the last 50 years, when the ownership trail went cold). It has no rust. In the 1950’s it was owned by Phil’s Garage in Torrance, California. It was set up to tow vehicles back to the shop. It was impeccably maintained by the garage mechanic, who I never met, but whose workmanship and attention to detail 50 years ago, I still admire today.
This jeep has matching serial numbers on the firewall, dash and left front frame horn. Behind the column shifter, is the T-90 transmission. The column shift option was dropped early in the first year of production (at around #30,000), because the GIs returning home from the war preferred the floor shifter transmission like the ones they were used to driving in their various theaters of operation. For this reason, there are very few, original equipment, column shift VECs left ….”
Dan spotted this unusual CJ-5. This jeep is for the lover of skulls! I didn’t know they made green tops like this?
“1965 JEEP CJ5, 350 Chevy, 3 SP tranny, New tire and wheels, canvas top, diamong plate, chrome engine, headers, race seats with 5 point harness, It’s a HOT ROD. It can run as is or you can take it from here and go crazy with it. It is a head turner everywhere you go. Call Dan 406-493-2129 I have more pictures too….. COME ON!!!!!!MAKE ME AN OFFER…Add it all up, the donor Jeep, motor, top, paint job, seats/interior, wheels/tires. Think you could put it together this far for less??? I don’t think so.”
“Buick Odd-fire V6, T-90 3 speed, Dana 18 twin stick T-case, Warn OD. Needs Transmission ($550) or rebuild, possibly transfer case ($400) as well. Prices are from herm the overdrive guy in Brush Prairie (hermtheoverdriveguy.com). Winch, Tow bar, Full Cage, 1/2 doors and Bikini top as well. Engine runs fine, will need to be towed (tranny won’t engage). Body is pretty rust free. Clean Oregon Title. Willing to deliver (within reasonable distance after purchase). Don’t know too much about history as it was purchased a few months ago for a project and no time or money to complete.”
Brett spotted this interesting find. There are at least 3 unusual features on this CJ. The most obvious one is the paint job; unclear what the inspiration was, but it’s unusual. The second feature is the automatic transmission that has a column shift rather than a floorshift, which is a clever mod. Finally, while I have seen expanded windshields, I can not remember seeing an expanded windshield that uses a CJ-2A frame (with the exception of the one below this post — strange how these things surface sometimes).
