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.
(06/04/2020) Looks like a solid 3A with some updates. It appears to have Allstate Hubs.

“1949 Willys Jeep CJ2A, 4 cylinder, 3 speed. rebuild, all original, no rust, Colorado title. Will deliver.”
When anyone writes “all original”, it better be all original. This one isn’t.
The listing for this says its a 2a, not a 3a. Is anyone smart enough to tell one way or another from the photos, or would I need to go on site and measure the wheel well?
Peter,
I felt it was a 3A for the following reasons.
1) There’s no holes in the dash for the original ignition switch.
2) There are no top bow holders on the sides of the body.
3) The 3A windshield.
4) Of course, all those things could have been changed. The big ‘tell’ is that it has a CJ-3A data plates on the firewall.
