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: **SOLD*** Was $5500
“1948 Willy’s Jeep seats are reupolstured, solid body and frame. Purrs like a kitten. Our family has had a wonderful time with this Jeep now it’s time for a new family to enjoy it.25,700 miles. We have loved it now we hope you will.”
Not too bad overall I’d say. Some non original stuff, but a couple neat fetures including keyed coil (removed, but owner had in his shop) and governor. Give the guy a call, he might come down on price. It’s been for sale a couple weeks now at $5,500.
HEY ROBERT IM CONSIDERING LOOKING AT THE JEEP IN MADISON. WHAT IS NON ORIGINAL AND IS THE TUB BEEN PATCHED? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP RALPH.
Ralph, the seats (front and back) are not original. Back seat was not secured and probably from another type of jeep. The front seats were out for reupholstery when I visited. There are some holes cut through the tub for the front seats and these connect to some extra framework on the underside of the jeep. This framework actually extends laterally under the jeep and sticks out to form side steps….none of that is original, but it didn’t look too bad. The frame has some weld work on the front near the horns. The body has been painted red and the floor is black. There’s a gas can mounted to back of tailgate. The engine head does not appear to be CJ2A, but rest of the motor engine serial number seem correct for a 1948 CJ2A. Regarding patching…possibly some bondo here and there, but I didn’t get my mangnet out. Also, one of the owner’s craigslist postings used to read “no rust.” He took this off in later versions. The jeep is not completely rust free. For example, the hat channels have rusted through in several locations. Overall, I’d say pretty solid. Worth $5,500? Let me know what you think.
Ralph, did you look at this jeep yet? Just wondered what you thought of it. Are you located in WI? I’m located in Deforest, WI (southern WI).
