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 rare Porter & Reed half cab. The split window in the rear is what suggests it to me.

“The picture with me in it is when we bought it. The drive train is there. It is partially dismantled, as seen in the photos. Everything is there to get it on the road. Fenders, hood, tailgate, blinkers, headlight assemblies, roll bar, seats. Previous owner said the motor is a 283. Body has some dents and dings, but overall very solid. I think we still have wheels.”

The tub is in good shape, the frame needs to be repaired in a few spots. New gas tank and new gas line put in. New master cylinder but brake lines are bad. It does run – but the carb needs to be rebuilt due to a leak. It will start with a jump but will not continue to run due to the carb leak.

“1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A. This was a frame off restoration I finished 3 years ago. It was rebuilt from the frame up, 3865 miles on it since then.
Engine, transmission, transfer case, and axles were disassembled, powder coated black, rebuilt, and re-assembled. The rebuilt engine is the original 134 “Go Devil” Jeep 4 cylinder engine. It runs perfectly. I added a modern electronic ignition system. (MSD box). The axles have 4:88 gears, and a locker in the rear. The front has new Warn lock outs.
Lots of custom work. Needs clutch.

Mike shared this auction of a CJ-2A with a fiberglass body. In the background he spotted an FJ. It’s unclear if that is purchasable or not, but I was able to track down the gas station in Bogata. There’s also a pic at the bottom of this post.
“1948 willys cj2a jeep, has a fiberglass tub, so no rust through on body, chevy 350 v8 engine, was last cranked about 6 months ago, vehicle has been sitting in my shop for several years, needs a new ignition switch wired up, gas tanks hooked back up an some brake work, currently they are not working.. like I say the jeep has been sitting for several years an may need some tinkering here an there to get back on the road again.. the motor ran strong in it, has long tube headers, mild cam, 4 barrel edelbrock carb, dual point setup, it would be a great project for someone, I just don’t have the time for as many projects I have, so thinning the heard a little, have clean title 1948 in hand for the jeep, buyer responsible for pickup or shipping,”
Not sure how much value is here.
