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 .
“A really cool pre-Vietnam era 1962 Marine Military Willys Jeep. All there, runs good, all original except for the fuel pump. Owned by a 2-star General with papers to document. 26k original miles with clean title. Think how fun it would be to take this around the neighborhood! Interested in trades of greater value. Call 704-736-one one nine two or text 828-228-five one one nine or send an email for details. Thanks for looking.”
UPDATE: Sold. Was priced at $1500. Apparently this didn’t run after all, but does turnover.
This runs, though it is now powered by a Ford motor. And, the inside needs a make over, but the price might be good. It’s been converted to propane, too.
“This is a good restoration project. RUNS! 1957 FC 170 with small Ford motor; with a propane fuel system. Included with the deal is an extra cab.”
“This is a 1961 Willys CJ-5 with some history. Snow was predicted for the 1961 JFK inaugural parade and 2 Jeeps were commissioned to lead the parade and plow if necessary. This is one of the two Willys outfitted with snow plows that led the parade in Philadelphia (plaque on dash). I’m told the paint color was chosen to match Air Force One. After the parade the Jeeps were donated to a Philadelphia school. When they had served their purpose a school employee purchased this Jeep, and we bought it from the next owner who bought it from the school employee. You may have noticed the engine and drive train have been removed; this was the start of a restoration project that never went any further. Items that go with the Willys are: original drive train and engine, extra engine, PTO driven winch, snow plow and all other pertinent items for reassembly.
The dash plaque reads: THIS Jeep VEHICLE WAS AN OFFICIAL UNIT IN THE INAUGURAL PARADE HONORING THE 35TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY JANUARY 20, 1961”
This doesn’t run. It was a column shift at some point and appears to have all three data plates. Not tool indents are evident though.
“I have a ’46 Willys CJ2a in good condition for sale. It was running smoothly before winter and will need a little tlc to get it back to running after sitting for a few months. Most parts are original, I know for sure the electric has been updated, 2 sets of brakes have been upgraded to disc brakes, gas tank has been replaced, and the column shifter was moved to the floor. I am not a mechanic but you will likely need to do three things to get her back to running: bleed the brakes, charge (maybe replace) the battery and check the fuel line.
Things that I know need work:
Some of the gauges need work, specifically the fuel and speedometer.
There is slight rust, but nothing bad.
I’ve driven it around town without any problems and gone about 40 miles outside of town. Tops out at about 50 mph, so highway isn’t really ideal. There is a tow bar in front, a roll bar over the top and has 4wd using manual locking hubs.
It has been a very wonderful Jeep, and hasn’t given me any issues outside of needing attention more often for being a ’46. I recently started my own business and I hate to just have this antique just sitting around. Antique car insurance is currently running me about 5 dollars a month through state farm. You should be to get similar rates.

The Price is 4800 or best offer. Serious offers only.”
The paint job on this is unusual. The cammo even extends across the headlights. But the inside of this looks quite nice. The jeep may be in good shape.
“Call 906-341-3582 or e-mail for more info. Nice old jeep. Great shape.”
