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: Still Available. Previous pics showed this with a Cj grille, but now it’s to an MB/GPW grille.

“I am selling my 1948 Willys CJ-2A … It has always been a dream of mine to own a 40’s vintage jeep decked out in WWII fashion like this ever since I was a young man. I’ve had my fun with it, but now I am more concerned about needed garage space vs. having this. I will sell for the right price, but I certainly won’t give it away.
First and foremost, I do have a clean title to the vehicle. If you don’t follow these things that closely, that is a somewhat rare occurrence.
The jeep is in VERY good shape with very little rust and a body that is in great shape (original body, not a fiberglass version). Here’s what I’ve done to it since owning it:

“Selling my 1948 Willys CJ 2a
1948 Willys CJ2A project. I bought it just like it is. The body on this is in surprisingly good shape, not really rusted through anywhere on the outside. The rockers and bottoms of the fenders are solid. The floor is about the only place that needs patched.
Supposedly the previous owner had the engine rebuilt, but it hasn’t been started yet and I haven’t tried. Turns over freely and has definitely been out. Through the inspection plate, it appears as if the clutch is new too. Brakes don’t currently work. Transmission shifts through all gears as it should.
Here’s what I know are missing: Headlights,tailgate,starter, front seats, and gas tank
I don’t have a title, but I will provide a notarized bill of sale which is what you’ll need to get it registered in this state”

“For sale is a 1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A. This Jeep came from the state of Wyoming and is probably the nicest original CJ2A you will find. The body condition is in incredible. The only rust is a small portion of a hat channel under the driver seat. I got it running the other day and runs great with no smoke. This Jeep has everything on it that came from the factory.

“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A that is ready to enjoy. I have had this for 10 years and kept it in top shape all the time. Stored in the winter and just driving minimally on weekends. I bought this with it needing mechanical work and my son is a mechanic and rebuilt the motor to new stock condition. It was bored, new pistons, rods, bears and completely rebuilt. The old radiator just was not clean enough to keep the motor cooled, so I had the local radiator shop build a brand new radiator to insure cooling for the long term. I installed all new exhaust and brakes to complete it mechanically. The body is in great shape and the interior is like original. In addition, you don’t find these with the tops that are in perfect condition like this. You can keep the sun & rain off while driving to enjoy the ride. Has mirrors, windshield wiper, seat belts and turn signals so it is street legal and ready to go. $9500,”
