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 $12,250.

“25 year old frame off restoration. Painted in Michigan yellow. Runs and drives great.
60 HP, 4 Cylinder Go Devil Engine. 4×4, Original miles 35000.
6 Volt System.”
Wow: this looks sharp. Nicely done, but I add the second taillight for safety. The tradeoff being authenticity vs. cheap insurance (and I don’t trust the other fools on the road).
‘Restored’ 2A’s need to have the bow brackets put back on the side to be correct…makes the restoration more appealing. Without them, it may as well be a 3A body…my 2 cents worth.
Craig, good observation. Now that you mention it, this doesn’t even have the rear corner nor interior (behind the front seats) bow holders, either. Not a rainy day jeep.
I used to think all 2As came with bow brackets, but it seems to me I’ve run across some period photos that made me question that assumption. I’ll see if I can track down what made me begin to doubt that assumption. Still, I agree odds are this would have had them originally.
I do not really care for wheel rims matching the body (except olive drab). I don’t think that was the usual practice from the factory, seems like most had contrasting wheel colors.
Joe I have a set of mag mount lights I sit on each fender for daily driving. At a show I just pull them off. Nice looking jeep at a fair price.
Ed, that’s a really good idea. I’ve often thought about the safety issue that Joe mentioned and that solves both dilemmas. I also agree with Mark. The old flatties just look better when the wheels are contrasting colors, like it was from the factory. Craigs right, 2a’s aren’t 2a’s without bow brackets. It’s like spaghetti with no meatballs. Sure, it could come that way, but why? And Dave, what? All 2a’s have bow brackets. They look better with bow brackets. We are a better society because of bow brackets…well maybe not but the ones that aren’t better, it gives them a place to put their axe!
Todd: I couldn’t agree more with the lack of bow brackets on 2As. Yet, some examples include the Boyer Jeeps, none of which I can find had bow brackets.

There are other examples I’ve seen that aren’t special orders like the Boyers, but I got to get packing today!!
