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 .
“Really nice original Willys Jeep. Has 283 Chevy V-8 that runs really strong. Saginaw steering. Otherwise all original. Runs and drives great. 5.38 gears. Brand new all weather tires and white spoke wheels. Tires still have the nubs on them. Only rust is in tool box and under gas tank. Collector plates so never has to be licensed again.”

A couple items need fixing, but otherwise this looks good.
“1951 Willys Overland 4WD Pickup…$6,000 FIRM
1951 Willys Overland 4WD pickup restored to original. Stock Hurricane F-Head 134 c.i. engine. Recently rebuilt. Runs excellent. Original floor mounted stick T-90 3 speed transmission. Hi/Low range works fine. Lockout hubs. Original 7.00×16 tires. Original owner’s manual. Restoration completed in 2005.
New glass, chrome replated, spray in bed liner, etc.
Known issues:
…engine runs perfectly, but the truck bogs down when going up hills. Believe this is a timing/vacuum advance issue??
…per original owner, the original 1951 cab was totalled in 1956 but the rolling chassis was not damaged. Another 1951 cab was purchased and placed on the original chassis. Consequently, the engine and body #’s do not match. This was not a problem when I purchased and registered the truck in California.
…brakes occasionally grab when brakes are applied
…drivers side window is off the track and is laying loose inside the door panel.”
“1946 Willys pickup truck (1st year civilian model after WWII). Rare find!! Completely stock to frame restoration. Will need round of body and paint to mint condition. 4 cylinder mighty might Jeep motor, 3 speed on the column, 2 wheel drive, foot switch starter, decent new interior, red paint. Very clean engine compartment and interior. Picture car!”
“Hi, I will give this a try…..I have a 1946 restored Willys CJ2-A that was done about 3 years ago. It was a 5 year project that was fully pulled apart and gone thru. It was done to original with details taken into account. It has repro front fenders, tailgate and windshield. The tub is original with welded in panels where needed. Every thing was but-welded with no over-laps, no pop rivets, not hacked. It was done right to look right and to last….no rust left! Original bolts were saved, cleared and installed where ever possible. It looks as good underneath as on the outside! It has the T-90 3 speed rebuilt, L-134 engine and the Warn overdrive. New brakes and lines, like original wiring harness etc. Too much to list. Original vacuum wipers, gauges and 6 volt electrical system with generator. It starts easy and the lights are bright at night. I am having knee problems and have a hard time with the clutch and brake up-setting my knees.
“I have a nice 1959 Jeep truck for sale. I have done some updates over the years. Updates include relined gas tank, brakes, hoses, belt, plugs, tires, tow bar, paint, etc. I had it painted back to original as best as I could.
It still needs a parking brake cable and a vent window is cracked. It has low mileage and was a barn find when I bought it. It was all original and had only surface rust. It is what attracted me to it. It has the strong six super hurricane engine and does not smoke. It runs strong and the clutch is good. I was told it is a rare 1 ton model. I have a clear Texas title. The only reason I would sell it is I have a CJ-2A also and do not need two Jeeps. I think it is better than a new Razor, mule or any other ATV since it is in another class for the money. I have a bus bench seat for additional riders in the bed. Please call for a showing or test drive.”
(06/24/2012) This hasn’t been started in ten years, but looks pretty solid.
“1947 Willys Jeep, CJ2A. Four wheel drive, high and low range, 4 speed transmission. Has original flat four jeep motor. Stored in barn, hasn’t been started for 10 years. Mostly original antique. Has an aluminum hard top on it currently, included. (Soft doors in picture have never been attached, came from different Jeep.) Clear title in hand. A rare find to see one that hasn’t been heavily modified. Come take a look! (541) 889-0451. Please leave a message if no answer, and feel free to email with any questions”
The head is off. This does look like a good restoration candidate.
“Willys Jeep 1951 CJ3A. Needs to be restored. Cylinder head off and present. Great body, frame, windshield and seats. Little to no rust on under body. After market extended back bed, easy to remove but a rare find. Restored jeeps like this sell for 6000.00 and up.
