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 .
UPDATE: This appears to have sold quickly. The jeep and trailer were priced at $2500.
“1944 Willys Jeep with trailer. Was street legal and tagged. Tire went flat and I parked it in the garage 9 years ago. Original jeep tires were hard to find. Good project for the military vehicle fan or would make a great hunting jeep. Comes with extra canvas.”
“This 1958 Willys FC150 cab over engine stake bed jeep has been sitting for a few years.
It is not running now, but it is not mechanically broke. It is a 12 speed with a PTO. It has reversed rims for stability, and could be a good workhorse for someone, or show jeep. The jeep is located in San Ramon, and you have to call to see it. It is a FC150. I’ve priced it to sell because I need the space.
(07/15/2010) It sounds like a simple rewire of the alternator and 10 minutes of bleed of the brakes ought to result in a pretty nice jeep.
“This jeep has lots going for it, but still needs finishing off. Everthing listed is either new or rebuilt with less than 5 miles on it. Motor F134, transmission, transfer case, radiator, gas tank, exhaust, brakes, steering parts,drive shafts, shocks,wiper motors, tires, wiring harness, bearings, switches, lights, cables and so on. Posted at Willys Works. It is not titled, serial number on frame and data plate match. Comes with ratty old Whitco top. Brakes need bleeding & adjusting, adjust steering & figure out why a new battery will not hold a charge (has alternator). Bring cash. Jeff @ 520 780 2576. az1881@yahoo.com.”
It appears complete, but probably has rust issues.
“this is a willy’s overland jeep (1950)-needs restored-engine turns over-bought new ignition parts last year but never finished getting it running-has some rust holes(not to bad)-i have original manuals(service and owners)-have fla title (owner signed) but not transferred-was last running in 2001.”
This might not be a bad price depending on the severity of the rust.
“UP FOR SALE IS A 1952 WILLY’S JEEP IN GREAT CONDITION. RUNS GREAT, ALL MAINTENACE RECORDS KEPT. HAS SOME MINOR RUST, BUT IN GREAT CONDITION. INTERIOR IS IN GREAT CONDITION. PINK SLIP. MUST SEE. PLEASE CALL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR ADDITIONAL PHOTOS”
(06/17/2010) It sure looks like there is light rust in some of the corners, but that might be an optical illusion.
“I may regret selling this because I know I will not find another CJ3a in such original, virtually rust free, unmolested condition. This is a numbers matching 1950 Willys Jeep CJ3A with Power Take OFF (PTO) and Koenig hardtop. Almost everthing on the Jeep appears to be original. Even the seats, seat covers, and seat springs all look like the original ones to me. The body is very straight, and virtually rust free, having only surface rust. Floors are solid as well. The frame is perfect, no cut places, or damage anywhere. The hard top is in excellent condition. I started the Jeep a year ago and it ran very well with no smoking. I drove it around and shifted through the gears no problem. I changed the oil and filter, trans oil, T-case oil, and differential oils. It does need all new brakes, master cylinder, and wheel cylinders to be safe to drive. The rear two wheels are original wheels, but the front two are not, so it will need two original wheels, or wheels of your choice if you restore. This Jeep was owned by a farmer in Pacolet SC for 40+ years, and I was told it was stored up in a barn for that time. This would be a very easy restoration. Search the country over and you will not find a survivor like this one, in this condition.”
(08/07/2010) This might be a good price given the restoration.
“This is a beautifully restored Willys CJ5. The following is a partial list of new items on a fresh restoration: Windshield frame and glass, wiring, horn and steering wheel, recored original radiator, seats for both front and back, headlights, tailights and housings, turn signal and column switches, waterpump, pulley and belt, stainless dual winshield wiper motors with blades, all gaskets are new, new Solex carb for trouble-free running, (original carb saved) all new brakes and cylinders, 5 new Grabber At tires, the list goes on and the receipts total way over the asking price. She runs and drives beautifully. The paint is gorgeous! This jeep was originally an M38 and I have most of the original parts including seat frames. You can’t buy a nice quadrunner at this price! Thanks for looking. My apologies to all that called last week. I was out of town and unable to show the vehicle. Please try again. I will trade for a Harley or older Brit bike. If offering a trade, please keep in mind that I have way underpriced this Jeep and your trade should reflect that as well. Thank you for looking. 315 492 9983 leave message. Please don’t email.”
“1951 Willys Pickup. All original except bucket seats. (Have original seat – it needs to be recovered.) New brakes, spray-in bedliner, gas tank, turn signals, 6-volt system. Body straight & solid. $4,500.00.”
“I bought this from an acquaintance who needed the money. It would make a cool project, but not for me. I’m from the west where this kind of rust means the vehicle is long gone. Since moving here I’ve heard people describe this condition as “restorable” or “just a lot of surface rust”. Yeah, except both sides of each surface have rusted to form holes. It ran as of a year ago when I parked it here in the weeds, but while taking pictures I noticed the carb has been uncovered all year. It has push button start, and sounded like it was running on 3 of 4 cylinders when it ran. Plenty of blue smoke to entertain the neighbors with.
Before too long it will get hauled to the salvage yard, it’s worth $250 in steel to me, hence the price. But I’d rather see it go to someone who’ll use it or at least parts of it. I have a clear title from 1989. Brake line is missing, carb leaks fuel. It might be handy for some extra parts though, the grill and hood are decent, and there’s an extra grill included. It also has the PTO drive included. I have no idea if it’s complete, I just know I have a small steel pan with gears in it that bolts to the underside to run a PTO. I also have the original Willys tailgate, which would make a better garage decor than a tailgate because of rust. But it looks cool. The tires in the back are from my Ranger, they are about the same size as the Jeep’s and in better condition, they’ll go with the Jeep also.”
