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 .
“Running Willys. Needs Water Pump and Brake work-GREAT for exploring or restoring. Body is pretty beat and there is surface rust but no penetrating rust on frame. Old ranch “truck”. No title (easy to apply for one at MVD)”
Steve notes that this still has the column shift mechanics, though it also has a floor shift.
“This is a 1946 Willys CJ2A that I bought from a customer of mine. Her husband bought it brand new and I have only driven it to town a few times. The gears are good and tight. It starts just fine on the 6 volt system. The Heater still works and I think they are kind of rare. When I bought the jeep She said that it had not been started for over ten years. After inspection I found thick oil in the oil pan so I removed the pan and cleaned out the old oil before trying to start the engine. At this time I took pictures of the cylinders for inspection. Two of the cylinders have marks where the rings sat over the years. The cylinders will at sometime need to be honed out to remove the small ridges which you can see in the pictures. After I had the carburator cleaned and we were able to start the engine the water pump had to be replaced with a new one and I put a new belt on at that time.
I have driven the jeep around while hunting and totally had a great time. It is like going back in time and looking at the scenery a little longer because you are traveling a little slower.”
I’ve included only part of the description. The seller’s description is extensive.
“This is a 1951 CJ3A Willys jeep that belonged to a SE Georgia Cattle farmer and hasn’t ever been in salty roads of colder areas. This vehicle was one of 3 jeeps that belonged to person and had nice weather proof shelter over head appeared not to have been abused or trashed” and limited use because of multiple “toys. This is not a patch plate or bondo special as some of these older Willys on ebay appear to be and even the under pasenger seat utility box is solid(rare). The wind shield frame is very solid as well and this is recurring problem on Willys exposed to elements as well as floor pans.The paint is recent and is enamel OD green and only pic with dog is pre new paint that jeep is currently….”
The engine turns over. The body doesn’t look too bad.
“1950’s vintage Willys 4WD Wagon. The straight 6 cylinder engine turns over, but have not tried to start it. Good recap tires. No registration, bill of sale only. Call seven eight three zero 3 two zero. Thanks!”
“Testing the waters about selling this project Jeep. Mostly stock except for having the later model flat head 6. Had it running over the winter. Bill of sale only, not title. Sold as is cash only.Emails need to have Flatty in the subject or I won’t respond due to spam.”
The paint on the driver’s side seems a little odd. This has the ventilating windshield, the 2/3 1/3 seat, and only 18,000 miles.
“1960 Willy’s CJ5 Jeep, shows 18,000 miles. L-head Jeep engine, gone through on top end (valves). Starts, stops, and runs terrific…very dependable. Five like new 15″ mud/snow tires on five white spoke rims. Has Factory original full front seat (seats 3), and ventilated windshield…”opens like older Jeeps”. New plugs and wires. Passenger seat recovered. New red and black paint. Call us with any questions. Make a great huntin’ rig”
This looks pretty nice, so I don’t quite understand the diamond plate dash plaque.
“Here is a 1949 Willys Jeep in beautiful condition. This has had a full restoration and engine/drivetrain rebuild. If you would like more pictures or to come and take it for a test drive, please email with your number and I will get back to you ASAP. This comes with a clean MA. title. Thank You”
“This is a nice origianl Willys Jeep. This had some retoration work done about 10 years ago. It is all original. The flathead 4 cylinder, T90 trans and spicer 18 TCase were all gone through and rebuilt by the Willys shop in Toledo Oregon. Everything was gone through. It runs and drives good, brakes all work, lights good. We have had a lot of fun with it in the summers. Interior is very nice. ”
