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: **Status Unknown** Was $650.
Maybe some value here? Looks like the tailgate has been replaced.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(04/02/2016) Looks like it might be patched don the driver’s side.
“I have owned this 1948 Willy’s Jeep for over 12 years. Over that period of time I have invested in many repairs/upgrades to get it in good mechanically reliable condition. Cosmetically it’s in good shape, though not restored. Some of the repairs/upgrades include; new tires, reupholstered seats, new gas tank, new radiator, brake system rebuild, shock absorbers, new windshield, alternator and many others (I have all the receipts). The vehicle runs great. Also included with the vehicle is a front snow plow — 6 feet wide! There is a hydraulic cylinder mounted to the front bumper to raise/lower the plow. It’s a great vehicle to plow snow — the heater works, too. I also have an original shop manual. The vehicle has a full top and both side doors (though not shown in the photos). All drive modes work; 2WD, 4WD-HI, 4WD-Low.”

Missing some parts and needs some electrical work, but the body appears solid.
“Vehicle is in good running condition, charges and brakes.
Drivetrain is noisy, but has been serviced with new GL1 gear oil and shifts smoothly through all gears.
4wd works fine in all configurations.
New seat covers.
Engine electrical is good – chassis electrical needs going through.
Wipers need service.
Tires look good.
Solid vehicle for full resto or fun runabout with a bit of work.”
The parking lights are missing, so technically not all the lights work.
“1948 Collectible/safe daily driver Jeep, 4 wheel drive, high/low, beauty that runs and drives great. Original flathead, 4 cylinder “go devil” motor. Drive it, while it becomes even more collectible as it turns 70 years old !!!!!

The “popular head swap”? I’m pretty sure he means engine swap …
“948 willys overland jeep
fuel: gas
title status: clean
transmission: manual
this truck I recently found in a garage in the marina district of San Francisco. it had not ran since 1995. so I guess you could call it a barn find. I trailered it home, flushed out the gas tank, replaced the fuel lines, dropped a new 6volt battery in it, replaced the coil and adjusted the points. it fired first try after purging the empty fuel system. completely rust free, it has the popular head swap which puts the carburetor through the hood, that is the only mod. this won’t last long.”

If by military wheels the seller means combat rims, then this could be a good price!
“1946 cj2a jeep no title extra front and rear axles extra frame section with pedals attached also comes with 5 spare military style wheels. The jeep has an overhead valve f head motor and body is rusted out. Best offer.”
https://bellingham.craigslist.org/cto/d/1946-cj2a-willys-jeep/6259207454.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
(07/19/2017) It runs, but needs brake work.
“This is a 1948 Jeep Willys. Have a clean title. The jeeps runs but needs work. Gas tank is rusted so it could use a new one ($150). I just run the fuel line to a big of fuel when it’s running. The water pump gasket leaks so that will need attention. The brakes could use some work but for an all original willys this thing is in pretty good shape. If you have questions just let me know and I’ll do my best to get you answers.”
Intersting half top. Koenig?

Unusual windshield.
“Runs great, used lightly. Engine rebuilt in 2010. 4 cylinder engine. Great for offroading or project vehicle.”
https://houston.craigslist.org/cto/d/jeep-willys/6273041563.html
Looks like there’s some parts value.
“The motor is seized up from sitting to long. The breaks will need work they don’t work at all. It does not have the original windshield, the guy who owned it before me bent it to fit. Don’t ask me about rust its got plenty. You will need a trailer to pick it up. I am firm on the price.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
The front clip has been hand made to fit the longer CJ-5 body, but the CJ-5 body was lengthened significantly until 1972, so I’m not sure how much longer that front clip is from standard. This price is for the body/front clip only.
“1949 Willys CJ2A body. I have a clear 1949 title in hand. Fenders and hood hand fabricated to fit longer CJ frame. Grill, windshield and tailgate included $2,000.00 OBO. Frame and running gear are ’69 CJ and available for more ”

(08/302016) I can’t tell if that is rust or just rubbed paint on the passenger side.
“1947 Willys Jeep. In really great shape. Runs well, new aluminum radiator. Pretty much original, except for windshield frame.
Original motor. New tires and sandblasted and painted black wheels. (wheels in these pics were not painted yet).
