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 .
The engine is out, but this sure looks like a good price.
“1962 Jeep CJ-5 Willys. NO RUST (even on floor) I think it might even have the orginal paint. Currently has engine remove (I was going to do an engine swap). Comes with orginal engine (probally needs rebuild). I have owned and used the Jeep for a few years around my property. Transmission, transfer case, and axles are in great shape. There are many different engines that can be swaped into it or you can rebuild the orginal 134 f-head. CALLS ONLY ON EMAILS.
“rebuilt motor , driveline, suspension, brakes; works excellent; garaged; rust free uncut; original; low mileage; needs paint; e-mail or call and leave a message 520-219-0994.”
I don’t see too much rust on this. It might be a good price.
“Willys Wagon four wheel drive. All original, 67K miles, interior complete and in good shape, dash not chopped up, 226-6 flat head runs good, just changed oil and replaced fuel pump. 4WD , twin stick transfer case works good, lock outs work good. Body is in okay shape, has “Willys Rust” . Extra complete motor and misc. parts, service manual included. Good clear title. I bought it as a project earlier this year and started to work out the bugs. Got it running and driving pretty good just needs a little more TLC. Enthusiasts preferred, I want to see the Willys go to someone who can keep it alive.”
UPDATE: Well, Steve couldn’t stand the thought of someone not restoring this truck, so he bought it and has offered to provide updates to ewillys readers as he restores it. Best of luck Steve!
A reader named Steve examined this Truck today. It’s got a Dump O Matic Hydraulic Dump Bed. Steve felt this was more work than he was looking for, but thought it would be great ‘for the right Willys Addict’. Thanks Steve!
Steve reports, “This was the first year for the pickup with only 2,346 4WD models built. The bed has a fair amount of body rot, but could be repaired or replaced. The cab is original and mostly complete. It’s not dented or molested. The engine is seized (but included to keep matching numbers) and the seat bottom and headliner are missing. A replacement engine is included that came from a military generator that was religiously maintained and ran on propane. The tires are dry rotted, but the frame looks good.”
Here’s the Craigslist AD:
“1947 Jeep pick-up. 4 wheel drive. Dump O Matic pick up bed. Truck is in fair condition for an unrestored truck of this age. This is a restoration project.There is rust but cab and floor are in good condition.Truck has 42000 miles. Last time on road was 1987. For more information call David at 401-465-9490”
“First of all please note my stellar feedback so you can bid with confidence. I expect the buyer to be the same. Out of my collection is this very original 1946 CJ-2A Willys with matching civilian 1946 TC-3B Bantam trailer. This Willys is a frame off restoration. It is refinished in the original and correct color of Harvest Green. It has the correct original running gear: 134-L Go Devil engine, T-90 trans and Dana 18 transfer case. This Willys would do well in any show and is turn key ready. Best of all, you can drive it anywhere. The reserve is set MUCH less than comparable vehicles on the market and this INCLUDES the Bantam trailer. Odometer shows 47,290. I don’t know if this is actual or not. The following are all new or professionally rebuilt. Look at the pic’s…”
This looks like a pretty nice truck for only $2500.
“This is a really nice 4×4 Willys Wagon, runs strong!! With no issues! Has a 327 engine, brand new tires – great fun!! I will consider trades. (comes with extra chrome parts)”
The auction on this just completed on this very stock jeep. This was a one-family jeep that looks very solid and appears fairly rust free, though the floor boards deserve some inspection based on the floorboard pic. This didn’t last long (less that 24 hours) before someone offered the buy-it-now price of $4500. I’m a little surprised it went so quickly for that much. It does have the original bill of sale (last pic) which is cool.
“I am selling my 1948 CJ2A. I am located in Lexington, SC. This Jeep was bought brand new by my Grandfather in March of 1948. I have the original bill of sale as well as a clear title. My grandfather passed away in 1987 and the Jeep sat in a barn until 2007. The Jeep is now in good running order, but I do not have the dedication or the funds to take it to the next level of restoration.”
