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.
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 .
(06/24/2017) It’s been in dry storage for a couple of decades. Not running at the moment.
“I have an original 1949 Jeepster that has been in dry storage for the last 23 years
Owned by a friend who is 88 year old.
He restored it–new top, tires, interior, etc and the put it in storage?????????????
Jeepster motor turns over but the plugs aren’t firing???
Decided to offer it for best offer over $8000.00 Have good title.”
(06/22/2017) Has some interesting mods to the rear.
“Solid starting point for a project.

Body not rotted and the floors are good. Locking hubs on the front. GM steering box and column, Hurst linkage, 2 10 gallon fuel tanks. Sand roll bar with a full cage. Same owner since around 1979. I wanted to rebuild it to it’s former glory but just don’t see it happening.”

Buckshot PR radial tires (33inch), Weld wheels, Fuel racing cell, electric fuel pump, electric cooling fan, Painless wiring, custom roll bar, KC speakers, Kenwood stereo, leather seats, four point seat belts, AutoMeter gauges, ArmaCoat inside and underneath. Invested a lot into this Jeep.”
“engine – Buick Odd Fire V-6, 231 cubic inch, Muncie transmission 4 speed, Dana 18 transfer case, Dana 27 front axle 4.88 gears, Warn Hubs, Dana 44 rear axle 4.88 , lockers – Power Trax Lock Right both axles, Warn overdrive, power brakes, power steering, CJ3A windshield, soft top with doors”
Could be a good price for the right person. Needs some items.
“All original bumper to bumper and top to bottom. Just had the original starter refurbished and it’s ready to install. I love this jeep but she deserves someone with more time than I have to give. Needs tires , seat covers, and a minor tune-up. It was used only a couple weeks out of each year for deer hunting purposes by previous owner till starter went. Then it sat for a few years till I bought it. Reasonable offers considered but like I already said, I love this JEEP”
(09/08/2017) Looks in good shape. The recessed headlights suggest this was more likely a Scamp than a Veep, but both kits looked very similar otherwise (as best as I can tell).
“Fun to drive, draws attention from admirers, great for snowbirds to pull behind an RV.
In 2004, at this jeep’s birth, it took a second place in a car show in Sacramento.
This is a conversion of a 1946 Willy’s jeep cj3a (army style) into what was called back in the ’70’s a “Veep”, which meant a steel Jeep body with VW bug running gear (motor and trans).
This Jeep body came out of a shipping crate with army green paint and had never been assembled until i opened it and bolted the hood and floor plate together in 2004. The engine is a dual port stock 1600cc air-cooled motor with a single solex 30 carburetor built in 2004. It has a type 1 transmission with standard 4-spd manual shifting. This Jeep includes the following features:
Four wheel disc brakes
External oil cooler w/ thermostatically controlled cooling fan
Four Fox shocks including external reservoirs in the rear
VW beam front end
Centerline aluminum rims (new tires)
White front bucket seats
A removable rear bench that seats 3 on black diamond stitching
VDO vintage gold rimed gauges
The clear plastic windows in the doors was replaced in 2016
Diamond plate floor under the hood compartment
Custom spare tire mount on front for improved weight distribution
Many customizations..
Many of the upgrades and customizations were installed by a shop in mesa around 2015 and cost me over $8,000.
This jeep has an original 14,000 miles on it from the front to the transmission and engine and from top to bottom. You can see from the youtube video address above that the jeep runs great and sounds awesome. This jeep does not have the old low gearing of a 1946 army jeep with top limits of 45mph. This jeep can do 65-70mph on the freeway easy.
I used it for a daily commuter for a year, then played with it as a pleasure vehicle for the family, now it just sits in the garage and only gets run on the weekends. I just drove it from Arizona to San Francisco for a business trip for a few weeks then back again. It ran perfectly. However, I’m interested in trying something else now.
I am taking offers and will consider all offers that are presented via voicemail or direct phone call. I will not respond to nor consider offers via email or text.
I am under no illusion that I will get back my $15,000 that i have invested in the Jeep and will not be offended by your offer. Please offer what you think it is worth to you and I’ll accept or decline with no hard feelings nor offense taken.
Make sure you watch the youtube video before contacting me since it answers many questions about the Jeep.
Will consider trade for a Suzuki Sidekick or a Geo Tracker or Toyota RAV4 but only a 2dr hard top in fully restored condition that is as pristine as my Jeep and I prefer a 2wd.“

It’s a mix of civilian and military parts. Now sure which it has more of.
“For sale is a 1944 GPW Jeep from the WWII era. It has new tires, excellent body and runs & drives. It does need a clutch. Asking $5,000.00. I also have other Jeeps available for sale such as a 1942 Willy’s MB from the WWII era as well.”
Listed as a 1961, the serial number suggests this is a September 1964. It has a Meyer hardtop.
“1961 willys jeep cj 5. Comes with hardtop, doors and plow. Will run off carb cleaner. Only piece missing is the radiator. Frame in great shape, rest of the body has usual rust areas. I bought it to build a cj 6 with but lost interest due to building my cj3a. Sold on Bill of sale.”

VIN # CJ2A185125…………….a unique ride, and a real head turner.
I am 6’2″ and 230 lbs and don’t fit well into this Jeep, a little too tight. As far as I know, this has only been used for parades since being restored by previous owner a number of years ago, and I have only put about 25 miles on it.”

Engine is currently in the back. Sold on bill of sale”
“I have a 1948 jeep I planned to restore but my priorities have changed. This is a simple vehicle to operate and work on, parts are readily available. No electronics whatsoever.Four Wheel drive,carburetor, mechanical fuel pump, etc. When a solar eruption or N. Korea causes our all electronic life style’s to cease this would be the vehicle to get you there. It needs a battery, alternator and possibly a starter. I am including some new parts with it such as a replacement drriver’s seat, a $300.00 wiring harness, Turn signals all 12Volt. Surprisingly little rust.”
“Project jeep. Needs full restoration. Have extra drive train. 3 sets of axles. Extra solid frame. One piece fiberglass nose. Thinning the heard. I can do the bodywork for you at additional cost”
What a day yesterday! I woke up to learn that my deilers.com site (which also hosts the Alaska Or Rust site) had been hacked. If you viewed the site on a phone, you’d get a nice photo of an undressed young lady. As you can imagine, that’s a problem.
After some research, I learned that some from Turkey (probably that was spoofed IP) has uploaded zipped files, added some .htaccess files, and changed some the website files. While attempting to douse that fire (which I’ve fixed about 25% of the way), I was also packing for a short trip to Seattle. My father has surgery on his leg to improve its circulation.
Meanwhile, my mom is still on her walker from her knee surgery, due to newly pulled groin and other issues. To see the following each other, both pushing walkers, is a bit humbling!
So, I’m a little behind today. Sunday I *should* be back to normal.
“1948 Willys CJ2A with a 3A windshield.

No tire kickers. Serious inquiries only. Will only show to cash in hand buyers. $7500.00 OBO.”
