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 .
The body and other parts appear to be in reasonable shape. Might have some new springs, too. Definitely worth a look.

“eatiful 1948 Jeep CJ2A Willys
We believe we are the 4th owner only in it’s life. The mileage is approximately 77,800 original miles with the original engine. Does it have character yes but runs and drives great. Top end is about 50 mph and will run all day.
It has been converted to 12v and this winter we did the following
– Brake Pads, Rotors, Calipers, Hoses, & Steel Lines
– Spark Plugs & Wires
– Ingnition & Coil
– Distributor Cap & Rotor
– Lots of Gaskets and Seals
– Transfer Case Oil Pan
– Choke and Throttle
– Steering Stabilizer
– New Guages (except for odometer)
We have the original rims for the smaller tires if you want them. Comes with a bikini top and a soft top. The best news is those areas where it normally has rust has NONE. Nothing in the wheel wells and not even any in the tool box. The original paint has been painted over as it was originally the deep harvest red. The rest has all the character that makes this Willys so popular. “

“Bought this as my first summer project car and ran out of time and money. Although it is a project car, the previous owner did all the complicated work on it and I got it to the point where someone can get it driving in a matter of weeks. However complete restoration will be needed.
Its got a T-90 three speed, 6 inch spring lift and 3 inch body lift, smoothly running 1960’s era Ford 302, Dana 30 rear axle and Dana 30 front axle with limited slip locking hubs and 5:38 differentials, power steering, new water pump, new fuel system, electrical about 90% complete and it’s licensed and legal to drive.
If it wasn’t for having to fit the radiator in and buying a roll cage this would’ve driving in a matter of weeks but with $980 spent into it and with college starting up again I have no money or time to finish the job. Parents have been pestering me to get it out of the driveway so i’m selling it at the lowest price I can.”
It’s a project.

Steve shared this ad. It looks like this is missing the rear half? I’d say there is a little more than 10% left on this project.
“We are selling our project jeep! A little elbow grease and you’ll have a great piece of history! This project Jeep is about 90% there. Needs a rear tub and front seat. Garage kept, give us a shout to come check it out. Titled!”

This still has the column shift and a rear PTO. There’s a little patching on the driver’s side.
“CJ2A with working PTO, column shift, rebuild trans, soft top, spare tire rack and extra rims! Runs great!”
Might be a combination of 2A and MB parts. It’s got an engine issue.
“I have an old Jeep that is titled as a 1943. Although could be a cj 2. with the L-134 engine. Converted to 12 v, I put a new voltage regulator on it and the electronics are good, Starts right up and drives. Has Overdrive added as well and it does work. Title in hand.
I was going to use it as a desert toy for my girlfriend and I but in the end it is a little too primitive for what I had in mind. Has nice full back aftermarket seats, and a nice top.Comes with Dick Cepek spoke wheels with good tires on them, at least 80% tread left on them. Runs and drives but will need tail pipe added at some point. Gas tank has been moved to the rear. Will throw in new hydraulic jack and lug wrench as well.
Willing to listen to trade offers of equal value. Would like a newer jeep pre 1975.
The jeep runs and drives but after 15-20 minutes the engine loses power, Not sure what issue is, Being sold as “Project” as it sits. Currently i couldn’t sell it as a driver until the engine has been gone over.”
