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 .
Hard to tell the value here, but this has a few mods, including a beefy front bumper.

“Jeep Willy’s 1948 non running all is there .”
This has a single-lever PTO, but does not appear to be hooked up to anything.

Bill shared this CJ-2A for sale.

“1947 CJ2A affectionately named Rosie – runs, drives, shifts through everything (transfer case too), stops. All lights and signals work.
Still has original flathead motor, transmission and transfer case – getting harder and harder to find like this these days.
12v, alternator conversion. Newer alternator, brand new battery.

“For sale is a 1948 willys CJ2a
Engine cranks over but doesn’t start.
It has a swapped Buick 225 v6 / ST 300 auto transmission. They were mated but were separated for installation. Has single barrel carbon and HEI distributor
The frame is absolutely 100% solid. The body needs a few exterior patches but still solid. Comes with rare, flanged center output Dana 44 and front dana 27 axles
This Jeep has a Clean transferable registration in my name.”
The solid-letter Desert Dogs are in surprisingly good shape. I’d guess they are roughly at about 50% tread life.

“Partly restored 31×10 tires 134 L Head Go Devil. Rebuilt 4 cylinder”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6500.
(02/11/2022) The half-top looks refurbed/customized and the roof of this half-cab extends a little too far over the front. It seems that would be a big wind catcher at any decent rate of speed.

“If I sell it, I will take the ad down. I am dropping the price to $1,500 and I won’t go any lower. Someone come pick it up.
1948 Willys Jeep. This jeep is all original and has been sitting for over 10 years. It does not run. It needs a lot of work but the body is in good shape. It does have some rust in spots especially the floor boards and tailgate. I know it needs a new fuel tank and all new fluids. I installed new 31×10.50 bf Goodrich all terrain tires on it 2 months ago. I would love to fix it up as planned but just don’t have the time anymore. I need it gone asap. Make me an offer. Asking $2,500 obo. NO TITLE! I do have the original VIN tag and it will come with a bill of sale.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5500.
(02/05/2022) The body is a little beaten up, but this runner includes a variety of extra parts.
