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.
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.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
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: Was $750. **SOLD**
No title.
“Willy`s Jeep – Original Parts – it used to drive about 2 years ago, needs a carburetor. Ideal for someone needing a project, parts alone can be sold for $1500 – Bill of sale, no title, never had one. NOt sure of year model.”
It might seem ignorant to other Jeep folk but I owned a 1946 CJ2A and have always wondered why they made a 2A and not a 2B or was there a 2B that I’m not aware of?
Michael,
Not ignorant at all. I’m not sure I’m clear on all their decisions. Here’s a synopsis.
CJ-1: yes, there was on pilot project called the CJ-1 that began the CJ process for Willys Overland
CJ-2: There were a series of experiment CJ-2s. These were imprinted with “Jeep” on the hood and windshield rather than “Willys”
CJ-2A: Why they didn’t make these CJ-3s rather than CJ-2As isn’t quite clear to me. These were very much like the CJ-2, but imprinted with “Willys”
CJ-3A: Why go with the CJ-3A and not CJ-3? I don’t know.
CJ-3B: Why not call these CJ-4s? I don’t know. The engine and hood and cowl were very different from the CJ-3A.
CJ-4: There was a project designated a CJ-4 which became the CJ-5. Mitsubishi made jeeps designated a CJ-4.
CJ-5: No more ‘A’s and ‘B’s.
Naturally, being Willys-Overland, there were derivations even to those models. One example is a rare Marine jeep called a CJV-35U. There was an after production model called a CJ-2L.
If you want to learn more about the CJ development process I recommend “Preproduction Civilian Jeeps”, though I’m not sure how Fred sells them these days. Here’s Jim Allen’s review of it: http://cj3b.info/BookCJ1.html
