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** Bill, the newest owner, believes this was a 1948 CJ-2A.
I think I’ve seen this hardtop, but can’t place it.
“Willys CJ2A (Jeep) 4wheel drive. Fresh restoration, Arizona vehicle, body solid and straight. Has 1964 Chevy Nova 4 cylinder 153 cubic inch 4 cylinder, tilt wheel, new wiring, radio, heater, custom made topper, 3 speed with factory option overdrive, roll bar, runs and drives excellent, fun to drive.”
That’s nice. I like the soft top.
Dave, the add says it all : custom made topper. Other than the swing out windows, I think the sides and back of a Meyer or Koenig top could be used to create a similar top. Thie rear hinging door would require a lot of thought. Maybe a solid angle or tube to tie the sides and windshield together and give a place to install the snaps?
Agreed.
I bought this in Maine, for considerably less than the amount listed here. It’s shiny on top, but was neglected underneath. The top is very nice with most of a good roll cage underneath, but it’s kind of heavy. Someone spent a lot of time building it. The jeep did not have the spare tire carrier when I got it, and had 4 brand new 6 x 16 NDTs on repro rims. I removed the lift, redid the driveshafts and I’m working on the axles now. Should be ready to play in the traffic by spring! No sign of factory ID plates on the firewall or frame, but based on the body, windshield frame and remnants of old paint underneath the tub my guess is that it’s mostly a 1948 CJ2a that was Luzon red from the factory.
Thanks for the update Bill. Good luck on the rebuild!
I can imagine that top is very heavy!

In the course of replacing the brakes I noticed a couple of uniform bumps amid the layers of paint behind the left front cross member that seems like they might have been drive pin heads. After some vehicular archaeology finished with a little fine sandpaper and some acetone I was able to make out the original frame tag. What I actually have is CJ2a 88091, a 1947.
