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 .

“1946/1959 Willys CJ 2A/3B “Dina”
Willys 1946 CJ 2A body with 3A windshield on 1959 3B frame. Old school Chevy 350 V8 and 400 Turbo transmission. Boxed frame in front. Dana 18 twin stick transfer case. Power steering.
Since I bought it I have completely gone through all the wiring except the dash and connected it into a new Painless fuse block. Connections soldered and shrink wrapped. Turn signals and headlamp dimmer switch rewired. Almost new 32″ Remington Mud Brute tires on steel wheels. 11″ brakes with dual circuit master cylinder and high-pivot brake pedal. Recent front end alignment. Engine always starts and runs strong; doesn’t overheat. Electric fan. Transmission cooler. Four wheel drive works fine. Body is sprayed on Rhino liner. Remote battery has cutoff switch. Full roll cage. Seat belts. Good condition full Bestop fabric top. Body tub is in good condition and needs only minor repair on a couple of the hat channels. Driver’s side rear wheel well cut in for increased leg room. Heater works but needs to be connected to fuse block. Gas tank moved to rear under body. New turbo mufflers hung with temporary hangers (older glasspacks shown on some photos). New front lock-out hubs. Emergency hand brake.
Needs tires balanced (shakes at 50 mph and above) and needs u-joint in steering column replaced, otherwise cruises fine. Has slow transmission leak.
I have a few spare parts to go with it.
I looked for almost a year before I found this classic and it draws crowds and friendly waves wherever I go. A total blast to drive. I am selling Dina because I need room in my carport for a new travel trailer.
Located near Augusta, West Virginia, about 30 minutes west of Winchester, Virginia.”
Have clear Maryland title; currently registered as a street rod so does not need to be inspected.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
It’s suppose to be a mix of parts. No title.
“It been added to from other jeeps. Runs and drives. I think the moter is out of a 48. Also have a top and doors soft. I Know who used to own it. It’s never had a title. I have bill of sales. We can write one up if you want it. It’s been a farm truck all its life.”
The 1948 looks solid, but the drain holes appear filled. The 1946 needs some work (no parking lights for example), so to call it “perfect running and driving condition” seems a stretch.
“Two Willys Jeeps CJ-2A One is a 1948 and one 1946 Both 2nd owner and sat 40 years.
Both Perfect Running and Driving Condition. Asking $13,500.00 for the Green Jeep which is all original, $12,500.00 For Brown Jeep which has had a newer motor installed.
