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: Price dropped to $900.
(01/12/2014) It says there is a rear PTO, but I don’t see the unit on the back.
“1948 WILLYS cj2a with rear power take off with 63 cj3b engine complete with 2 replacement fenders and grill comes with plow parts or repair engine doesn’t run will need to be towed 845-518 four 034”

I see something sticking out there in the back, doesn’t look the norm though.
My initial thought was that it is the end of the PTO shaft awaiting the rear PTO mechanism. Maybe there is some crude fix covering the end of the shaft, which makes it look odd?
I see that too. It would have to have some kind of bearing to hold it up. Maybe it was meant to power a winch.
It appears to me to be a PTO shaft in a bearing block with a cover installed. It looks a bit short compared to most tractor PTO shafts, and might be a non standard size…Custom made for a specific application for sure.
