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 .
The front frame rails look pretty good.

This runs. I love the shifting pattern drawn on the ‘dash’.
“Hi – what I have is a CONTRAPTION that used to be a 48 Willys Pickup – it is not roadable – however it is a good PLOW/UTILITY vehicle for personal or neighborhood use …
I removed the cab from the pickup – and made a roof – it still has the original jeep front end , fenders and hood … It has a make-shift flatbed … a roll bar , etc …
The truck has a usable frame/chassis – it would be a cool project frame to put under an El Camino 4X4 project , etc … currently it has a good running (original) 4 cylinder engine … 3 speed manual trans … 4X4 in good shape – old tires have plenty of tread – never got it stuck , but they are severally dry rotted … has a good radiator …. – converted to GM 12V system …
Has a hydraulic pump operated plow … that works good – fixed position – just up or down …
Havent started it for awhile – battery probably shot …. points may need to be cleaned …. but when these things are attended to , starts and runs very good …
I want to sell the whole thing as is … but I will remove the plow if you just want the truck – the truck will be 600.00 and I’ll charge the same for the plow if I have to seperate … better deal if you just but the whole contraption as is … I did have to gusset the frame where it was rusty on one side , but did a good job …”

Dan spotted these.
“I have a set of 5 lug narrowed Dana 44’s off of my CJ3. I’m not sure if they are locked or what the gear ratio is. I was going to use these but I have decided to use stock axles for my project.

“Jeep is in good shape, six cylinder hurricane engine, body in good shape, runs but has no brakes (needs fluid) Some surface rust that can be removed by light sandblasting. Engine runs good. ”
Bob forwarded a picture from the IMCDB.org of what appears to be a CJ-5 on an episode of The Lucy Show. Both he and I tried to find additional photos, without luck. Note both the odd headlights and the use of alternative fenders.

(02/07/2011) Looks nice.
“Hello I have a 1947 jeep Willys for sale its a complete rebuild it has the original motor and transmission in it its a cool turquoise color and new seats with new fabric… you wont find a Willys this clean and original in new Mexico! !!”
It goes, but doesn’t stop. The seller gives a good description.
“Runs and has a Title! Would be a decent restoration candidate. I’ll describe the Jeep as best I can, if you have any questions, feel free to call anytime. (912) 980-7811.
I’ve owned this 1950 CJ3A for about 6 months, so I don’t know the complete history of the Jeep. But I’ve got it running decent now.
Engine: The original L-Head 134 four cylinder still resides in the Jeep and it runs pretty darn good. I’ve installed a new carburetor, new battery, new ignition components and it starts right up. The original 6V system is also still in place. The speedometer and fuel gauge do not work, I have no idea how many miles are actually on the Jeep. The odometer is stuck on 61K, which I think is probably not far off. It hasn’t been driven regularly in many years. The Ammeter, Oil pressure gauge and Temp gauge work. Oil pressure runs from 40-60 depending on RPM, Temp hovers around 180, and the Ammeter barely moves at all. Compression is a bit on the low side. The cylinders run 80, 80, 70, 70. I’ve installed a new Solex carburetor and it idles and revs nicely but it does run a tad rich, it probably needs re-jetting. Solex Carbs require 1-2 psi of fuel pressure while the stock mechanical pump puts out 3-4, so I’ve installed and adjustable fuel pressure regulator. I’ll also throw in the original Carter WO carburetor. It also retains the original starter button (stomp starter) in the floor board.
Transmission/Transfer Case: Still the original T90/Dana 18 combo. The transmission and TC will need to be gone through. They’re inherently noisy in perfect condition but this jeep’s drive train does produce a bothersome growl. But, 2wd and 4wd do work correctly. The clutch is good, I have replaced the clutch push rod. I also have spare TC and transmission parts to go with it.
The Body: The tub is in need of sheet metal work. It has the typical rust in the hat channels and the floor of the tub under the gas tank is rusted through. Otherwise its really not that bad compared to most vehicles of this age. The fenders are original and straight, the windshield frame has some surface rust. To be properly done, the windshield would need to be removed and the frame blasted or dipped for paint. I’ve wire wheeled the fenders and exterior of the Jeep and applied primer but I have not repaired any dents or rust holes. Overall, its fairly solid. The lights are not wired up. It does have decent taillights also. The best thing I can say about the seats is that they are present. The tires are a bit old and cracking but the tread is like new and they’ll be fine for the limited speed of the Jeep. I believe the original color of the Jeep is Luzon Red.
Brakes: The braking system is non-functional. But I’ve driven it on the dirt roads locally, I’ve probably put 50-60 miles on it the last few days. Its noisy, bouncy, and rugged but really fun to drive.
Steering: Lots of play!
Anyway, this would be a fun jeep to put around with on a ranch or it would be an easy restoration project for someone. I’m only selling because I’ve got other projects I need to focus on and I need to thin out my Jeep herd a little.
Price is $1800 OBO
Email or Call 912-980-7811 anytime!”
