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 $6000.
(12/15/2018) Needs some brake work, but could be a good price.
“1948 CJ2A with an aluminum V8 215, 4 speed, 4 low and high, warn overdrive, winch, dual fuel tanks, rear seat that is removable, new tires, carburetor rebuilt, new manual fuel pump, runs great but brake issues.”

The Dog is a comedian!!!!
Does he come with it?????
Just some commentary on the 215 V/8, I believe this was a early 1960’s design that was available as an option in the new redesigned, downsized Buick Special. GM ran into problems with the aluminum block and heads, couldn’t stand up to the heat and developed cracks. The engine was discontinued for this reason. As a result, The 225 V/6 came into production. Correct me if I’m wrong, I’m not an expert, just passing on information I’ve accumulated over the years.
Yeah, ole’ Lucky is sending out a TEXT. They didn’t invent e-bombs, but they were well ahead of humans in SPAMMING. Nice looking jeep tho.
Mike: Here’s a discussion about some of the good/bad of the 215 blocks. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/might-be-getting-a-buick-215-what-to-look-for.565452/
Thanks Dave for passing this information along, fills in the missing pieces & confirms my “hesitation” about these engines.
