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 .

Looks pretty good. Shield on pto. Middle seat. Wonder if it has a governor?

Yeah, that PTO shield is a rare piece and I don’t see any governor.
Looks good
Two questions: What year did that windshield come out vs the venting 2A Im used to? I assumed all CJ2A had top bow pockets on the side?
Lew,
1. As I understand it, the 3A windshield with the center swinging vent originated with the first CJ-3A. As far as I’m aware, no CJ-2As came with that style of windshield from the factory. I have not seen anything to counter that theory, but when it comes to jeeps, I try never to say “it never happened”.
2. Top bow pockets …. it’s my personal theory that some CJ-2As must have been produced without bow brackets. I say that because at least some CJ-2A bodies, like those used for Fire Engines, do not appear to have the brackets. I’ve also seen some very stock jeeps that lacked them as well. I figured some folks ordered jeeps from the factory without them (if this was possible). The best chance of confirming this would be to find some factory or dealer photos that show 2As without the bow holders.
governor’s gone, but the handle is still in the dash
The other thing I was wondering is about the radiators during this change-over in 1949.. Did early 49 3A’s have bottom mount radiators or the grill-mount right from the start??
Side note on windshield frames: I ran across a “73 CJ-3″ from Spain (think 3B) on another ‘bring-a-trailer”-type website.. and this has a normal 3B windshield frame that we’re all used to but it’s VENTED. Never seen one-
If that is the original paint on this jeep then it’s in remarkable condition. The overspray on the transmission hump has me second guessing it. Maybe someone just touched up the floors? Those rims are definitely in great original shape. Has the right patina for me!
I’ll be posting that CJ-3B from tomorrow 🙂
According to Sean, the early 3A used a bottom mount. This was changed approximately around 3A s/n 21656.

I REALLY like this one. Seems like a great price if as described. I have too many toys for another but someone should grab this one!
Too bad it wasn’t a 49 CJ2A , those are hard to come by. Wished it were closer nice looking Jeep
