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 $6500. Mike noticed it’s got the bow holders on the passenger side. The body must be a left, perhaps the whole jeep.
The drain holes have been filled, but looks solid.
“1947 CJ 2A in good condition. Tires, seats and seatbelts all in good shape, also has a nice soft top. Please contact me with questions or to request to chat by phone about this great old jeep! T”

Looks like a lefty to me, 47?
It certainly does. So, at the very least, the body must be a ’48. Good catch.
What do you mean by ‘lefty’?
It’s a good and common question:
Lots of Lefty questions and research here — http://www.thecj2apage.com/forums/calling-all-leftys_topic16021_page1.html –
For a short period of time, March, 3rd through April,14th of 1948, the Willys Overland factory switched the normal location of the spare tire mount to the driver-side which in turn necessitated the bow pockets be moved to the passenger-side.
The serial number range was serial # range of 176,061 through 185,769 … though there were some exceptions.
