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 .

So I notice this does not have an oil filter on it. My 48’ does not either. Was it an option to have one or did people sometimes just remove them?
Hi John,
Based on what I’ve seen and read all CJ-2As had installed oil filters. Some folks argue that the nature of the design, a partial pass-through oil filter, suggests that filters weren’t necessary, especially if you change your oil often and don’t run it very often. Others have argued that removing the filter helps improve crankshaft bearing life. There are plenty of counter arguments against both of these claims.
Here’s one thread with a filter discussion: https://www.thecj2apage.com/forums/oil-filter-truly-needed_topic39577_page2.html
I hope this info helps.
