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: Still Available.
(09/17/2015) This appears to be a lefty. It might be a 1948 or at the very leasts a ’48 body.
“1947 CJ 2A in good condition. Has a soft top (in good shape) as well.
Starksboro Vt~about 25 min. off exit 11(Richmond) I89”

The lefties were done in 1948, about 1800 serial numbers before they were discontinued. Serial number is the only way to tell properly.
M38 top bows? I’m not all that up on military bits. If I had a lefty I’d make it a point to fill those brackets with civilian bows 🙂
…and “six” cylinders-
Can anyone tell me what was the purpose of a lefty ?
Yes … per Colin — CJ-2As built between March 3, 1948 and April 14, 1948, (serial numbers between 176061 and 185769) had the spare tire located on the left side of the body and the top bow holders on the right side. Willys did this to accommodate some state laws (Willys Tech bulletin 48-27, dated May 25, 1948).
