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 priced at $1000.
The engine on this has been rebuilt. It runs.
“48 willys Jeep, engine has been rebuilt, it does run, but the steering box is bad, and obviously from the pics it does need work. But, its all original, and mostly just surface rust. It was my dads, he put a new windshield, taillights and headlights in it, and did take it gopher hunting a few times. I know its worth something to the right buyer, it will have to be loaded on a flatbed to haul it out..”
UPDATE: this appears to have sold. It was priced at $3500.
(07/24/2012) This looks solid. The dash appears rhino-lined or textured.
“48 Willys CJ-2A Jeep been in family since 48. Power take off winch , 91 chevy 4speed stick, 1964 small block V-6 engine, soft top, 31×10.50 R15 BFGoodrich tires, runs good.”
I just thought this was interesting in that it looks parked in the middle of nowhere. Of course, to be fair, Elko is in the middle of nowhere. That means that Ryndon is even more in the middle of nowhere.

UPDATE: **SOLD**
I can’t tell which is the parts truck and which is the ‘good’ truck.
“We have two 1958 willys Trucks for sale. One runs the other is for parts.”
UPDATE: Was listed at $1500. This is Steve Carters’ rig. It does include a short block, but no heads. This was Gary Rich’s El Coyote, which some older PNW Jeepers might remember.
The springs have been out boarded in the back.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
(06/28/2012) The serial number on this is #13346. The column shift is gone, but the full floaters appear to be there (and is one of the last few made before they eliminated that feature), along with the tool indents.
” * * * TRADE, SELL * * * Whatever……. I’m open to anything. Guns, planes, motorcycles, cool unique cars, trucks.
I purchased this 46 from my engine builder who had this in his barn for 10 years. This was one of @ 10 jeeps used on his property as a hunting vehicle. When I bought it it had the newer model engine in it with a cut in the hood to allow the air cleaner to protrude out the top. He had an original flathead completely rebuilt on a crate wrapped in plastic that came with the deal. You have to know this guy, his machine shop is insane and his quality of work is tops. As I said, they have a bunch of these willys on this property over the years and this was his last one. His intent was to fix it up and out this rebuilt flathead in it. The newer model engine originally in the car when I purchased it apparently ran but was way down on power according to my guy when he drove the Willys into the barn. So I never messed with this engine. Out it came and in went the rebuilt flathead engine. I purchased over $1500 in parts from Ron Fitzpatricks jeep parts. New Carb, new brake master, new engine mounts, new steering piviots and all the parts from the box to the wheels (less the actual rods). New Hood. Had the fuel tank and radiator cleaned but I’m not happy with either of those jobs. Had the starter and generator completely gone through. Brand new 8 volt battery. New Distributor, all new air box and complete system to the carb. New Fuel Pump, New water pump and clutch plate and throw out bearing. New gas peddle and all new linkage to the carb from the peddle as well. New choke cable and new ground wires. Actual Mileage…… HA who knows. . . . ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
(02/22/2012) This looks solid.
“Runs drives and stops, needs a little tinkering to be great. 1951 willys jeep, new carb, new master cylinder, new winshield, new steel spare,new fuel pump, new manifold gasket, good tires, good paint, turn signals, guages work, gas tank repaired, 8000# warn winch, good seats, also have fleece seat covers in the package. no toop or doors tranny slips out in 3rd when you let off gas, needs shift fork adjusted. $4000.00 no tire kickers or BS.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.
(0718/2012) This has what I believe are clamps from a Porsche in place of the windshield clamps.
“Im selling my 1948 jeep willys cj current registration, pink slip in hand, it has a great running 283 chevy motor with 202 heads newer edelbrock 600cfm carb starts and runs excellent, muncie m-21 4 speed trans with dana 18 transfer case, stock front dana 25 diff, and i chrystler 8.75 rear diff, gears do not match so the 4 wheel drive does not work yet but the trans and transfer case work great so its as easy as making the gears match, i bought this jeep 2 years ago and was gonna fix it all up but theres just not enough room for the kids. the jeep is drivable i cruise it around all the time and its a blast to drive it has plenty of power!! i put the new offroad seats in a year and a half ago,new fuel tank,new fuel pump,new master cylinder,brakes work good,all gauges work,its definatly a project but its a great start you could go hit the trails in it now no problem.. looking to get $3000 obo or may consider trades full or partial trade let me know what you have.”

(07/03/2012) This is very much a project.

(07/15/2012) I believe this runs? It also has a bed extender. While it looks like it is missing the tailgate, Leo noted that tailgate is still there, just under the extender.

Marty gave me a heads up about this barrel racing event at the Cowlitz County Fairgrounds. He’ll be racing with the racer he just purchased. Good luck!
These two photos are a part of a package of photos.
” Group of nine photographs of American Airlines stewardesses date from 1943 and 1944. The lot consists of a 7 x 9″ photograph, six 3 1/2 x 5″ photographs and two 3 1/4 x 4 1/2″ snapshots. The top photograph is signed Frances Howley and dated June, 1943, on the reverse. The large photograph is dated 3 – 8 – 44 on the reverse. There is no identification on the backs of the remaining photos. An early Willys Jeep is seen in two of the photographs, most likely taken in front of an American Airlines terminal.
The overall condition of the lot is good. Only the large photograph is damaged, with a tear at the top, right corner as shown in the scan. The smaller photographs are in very good, clean condition. The large photograph is shown actual size in the scan. The smaller photographs are shown enlarged.”

A reader contacted me after investigating this FJ. Supposedly this is all fixed up, runs great, and looks beautiful. The only things missing are the VIN, the pink slip and the title. Eventually, after the reader noted that, the seller offered to halve the price.
Does anyone recognize this vehicle? Could it be a little hot? Or, maybe the seller was just desperate to sell it.
BTW, if anyone knows of any FJs in California, let me know. I have a potential buyer.
