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 .

“1949 Willy’s CJ, great little jeep, don’t use it as much as I planned, runs good, needs the valve cover gasket replaced. Was restored a few years ago. Pretty clean body. No trades.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.
(09/16/2020) It’s a project
“Complete CJ2A restoration project stalled. The entire jeep is disassembled down to the frame. Frame repairs are done and ready for frame to be primed and painted. Nothing else had been done in the way of restoration. Included are front axle, rear axle, springs transmission, transfer case, drive shafts, clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, motor, head, carburetor, fuel pump, air cleaner and cross over tubes. Radiator, gauges, seat frames, tub, windshield frame, hood, grill, lights, tailgate, and anything else on the shortage shelves. The tub is very repairable with some patch work. I have the paper work to get and Iowa title but currently it has no title.”
This may be a CJ-2A or 3A with a CJ-3B body on it.

“1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep that I have been working on for some time to use as a camp jeep. Prior to my purchase the previous owner had completely disassembled it and then cleaned and painted the frame, transmission, transfer case, and the front & rear ends (inside and out). He also replaced the brakes and brake lines.
I mounted a WW2 military body onto the frame which is very solid and has a new floor. The engine is supposed to run and spins freely but I haven’t tried to get it running yet. It was converted to 12volt for easier starting and has an alternator, new gauges and new battery. I have just run out of time to finish it and need the space in my garage for winter. Included with the jeep are a tailgate, windshield frame, steering column, driver and passenger seat, new steering bellcrank repair kit, clutch and brake pedals and other misc. items. It will need a gas tank and muffler, windshield glass and no doubt some other items to finish it up.”
This has some old school pin-striping. Has a rear PTO.

“1947 WW2 replica , good condition rare PTO winch”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4250.
(03/12/2020) This shows that the DJ-3A windshield for the Koenig hardtop also will fit the Meyer CJ-5 hardtop (in this case it’s a CJ-5 half-top). To me this adds weight to my theory that the Koenig hardtop used on DJ-3As should fit CJ-5s. This jeep also has a DJ-3A body (cut side type) and grille, at the very least.
