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: Price dropped to $3300.

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $12,000.
It’s a flattie installed on a CJ-5 frame.
“The hood says it all….. “1 Bad CJ” This is a 1949 Willy’s CJ2A built on a 1969 CJ5 frame. It has an American Motors 360 V8. It has a rust free, perfectly straight body with an epoxy primer green which gives the perfect old military effect. The insignia’s are painted to look old as well. It has brand new rims, 33 x 12.5 in. BF Goodrich Tires and new chrome Hooker Side Pipes. The rims, tires and side pipes alone are well over 3K. There has been a lot of work done to this vehicle since these pictures were taken to include new taillights and the front headlight brush guards. It has a brand new wiring harness and beautiful chrome gauge set and plenty of new parts waiting to be installed. It ran great before it was parked for restoration and was actually scary powerful for this size of a vehicle. This would be worth 20K finished but I have not had the time. I love this Jeep and do not have to sell and it is too cool to accept low offers. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000.
Lots of custom here.

“For Sale: One of a Kind 1947 Willy’s Jeep (CJ-2A)
This Jeep has been carefully rebuilt from the ground up over 3 years by my father, a retired certified ASEA mechanic. Starting from a sandblasted frame, new-off-shelf (N.O.S) parts were used whenever possible. Every piece has been carefully rebuilt and reassembled – you won’t find a cleaner, or more authentic rebuild of a 1947 Willy’s. Lots of fun to take off-road, or cruise around town with the windshield down. See below for details on each component. Thanks!
