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 .
Interesting. The CJ2 still had the sunken headlights and no side access to fuel tank above the still-present tool indents? I can see the Willys on the windshield frame. Are any CJ2s still around?
The windshield actually says JEEP( I think a plaque ). Fred Coldwell’s excellent book ” Pre-Production Civilian Jeeps” explains about the CJ-2. I think the number of existing CJ-2 is nine.
Mark is right. Fred’s book is a great collection of information on the CJ-2.
Here’s a link to a site that follows the CJ-2s: http://www.willys-overland.com.
There is also this site: http://www.agrijeep.com/jeeps/index.htm. I don’t know the actual number offhand, but I have seen one of these up close that needs restoration.
As I understand it, Ford was challenging the use of the stamped 9 slot grille (since they’d developed it), which is why Willys changed to the seven slot grille. In addition, Federal Guidelines required the 7″ head light bulb, so for actual production vehicles they would have had to change to the 7″ club. I guess they were finalizing the drivetrain before making the other final detail changes.
I assumed the ‘jeep’ had been stamped into the hood and windshield, but in this case those do look like plaques of some type. Later versions of the CJ-2 had the logo stamped in those places. The intent was to use that trademark, but Ford battled them about it.
Note the identifying mark on the bumper. This is Agrijeep X-28.
There’s a set of those “directional” tires that were discussed not too long ago.
That Jeep is not working! It’s having fun cruising around in low range. The hard work was loading four tons of hay.
