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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 $7000.

Given the parts, there might be some value here. Check out the reinforced frame and helper springs in the rear. Also note the way the rear PTO gear is angled out the back of the bumper. So many questions!

“LOOKING FOR TRADES: currently looking at the market on trading my jeep. It is a 1948 CJ2A with 3 speed transmission with Saturn overdrive. In the recent years (and how I acquired it) it had a heart transplant from a 1966 Ford Mustang. It is a 289 Ford small block V8. It runs and drives! She’s a head turner for sure! Has a new fuel pump, and I have an OEM data plate, shocks for all 4 wheels as well as a transmission and transfer case gasket kit on the way from Kaiser Willys. Looking to trade for a VW bug, or anything older VW running and driving like mine. NOT LOOKING TO SELL”
Might be worth a look.

John spotted this early CJ-2A (#10335). It has a few updates, but appears fairly stock (especially for a PNW vehicle).
