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 .
This might have a Porter & Reed Half Cab. It’s got a bed extender as well. It’s listed as a 1942, but clearly is a CJ-2A.
“Great 4weeler”

UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/08/2017) T.J. spotted this one on Facebook. The half top with suicide doors sure is unusual. I don’t recognize the top, but it looks pretty well built.
“1947 Willys Jeep, Rusty, missing some pieces, good clear title and ID tags,”

“1948 Willys CJ2A Orange body with a Blue roll cage.
*CLEAN-Fairly fresh paint job, Jeep Cherokee front bucket seats with covers, Renegade back bench seat. Fuel cell mounted under rear seat ahd a full roll cage.
*Rebuilt Buick/Jeep 225 V6 short block, Offenhauser 360 intake with a Motorcraft 2100 2bbl carb, and fenderwell headers and ACCEL Super Coil.
*T14 tranny with modified T-case. I used Spicer 20 case (to bolt to the T14) and put Spicer 18 gears to keep the 2.46 gear ratio and offset for the rear end.
*Original Dana 25 front and 41 rear with 5.38 gears.
I just don’t have the time to finish this project. Too many other irons in the fire. Very – Very little left to make this a great trail rider or street vehicle. (NO Title)
**CASH only.”
Lots of updates. It’s been over the Rubicon 26 times.
“This is a one if a kind completely built original jeep fully restored, street legal, but Rubicon ready 4×4 classic. I have over $50k invested into this jeep but must sell due to I don’t use it any more. It has been through the Rubicon 26 times and never a dent or a scratch. Hard to believe but this was my baby. Every single thing in this jeep has been completely built or custom fabricated. Too much to list in this list but please call if serious. This jeep will be the most admired on the Trail because there are only so many mint condition 47′ Willey’s Flat fenders left. This hero will only go up in Value. Serious inquireys only.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.
(09/23/2017) This “1948” has a CJ-3A windshield and an early CJ-2A grille. I’m guessing it’s a bid of parts.
“1948 Willys Jeep most part all complete posting for a friend it’s solid very little rust and none all the drive trains in it motor will need to be overhauled”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $800
“I have a good, pretty much rust free tub, 2 sets of fenders, a grill, one frame that the tub is on [has been modified somewhat but could be brought back easily] rancho springs, steering column, a hood that has been cut for a scoop, another frame that is rusted out at behind the rear springs but has front and rear ends, a trans and transfer case in it and a cowl but the rest of the body is gone and it has a column and box, later ball joint front end with no axles or outers. Also, if you pay my full asking price I WILL INCLUDE A TITLE FOR A 1945 CJ2A. But only if you pay full price and that is not negotiable at all. I also have a Ford 2.3 liter that was going to go into this project, it was propane powered and low hours, I will include it for an extra 300.”

“1948 Willy’s Jeep CJ2A flat fender with original engine and drivetrain.
Originally from Louisiana and does not appear to have ever been exposed to salt. Frame very clean and the body tub is still solid enough to pull off frame and patch up without it falling apart if a restoration is desired.
Could put in seats and run it as is too.
Engine stuck and would need a rebuild or replacement. Has a Kaiser Supersonic head on it. Missing some drive shaft pieces and radiator.
Has a clear open title.
$800, no trades.
Selling to add $ to buy a 4×4 truck. Would consider Jeep plus cash for a clean Super Duty 4×4. No ragged out junk.”
The California plates suggest this hasn’t been licensed in Colorado. It needs brake and some other work.

Thanks to Ted for spotting this one. It’s got a Bobcat Fiberglass body. This still needs some work. It lacks an engine.
“If you like to tinker with cars and looking for a shop project this winter, look no further!
Perfect opportunity to finish building this unique, one of a kind vehicle for the streets or beach. Custom built fiberglass 2WD Jeep set up for small block Chev. 2A body style with full cage roll bar and leather bucket seats. Never driven and kept in secure, covered storage. As the original owner, I started this project with my dad in 1972. After he passed, I took over the family farm and haven’t had time to finish what we started. I would love nothing more than to see someone with passion for building and retro vehicles get this Jeep up and running.”
