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 is a very early (599th one produced!) 1949 CJ-3A with an L-134 Go-Devil 4 cyl engine, T-90 Transmission and D18 Transfer case. This runs but will be a serious project.
Frame:
Overall excellent. Some rust in spots but no rot or evidence of repair.
Body:
Extremely rough but minimal patches and/or bondo so you can see what you are dealing with. Worse tubs have been brought back to life with the little dedication and a MIG welder.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
Doesn’t run.
“Here is a cute little CJ2A I picked up a week ago that needs to find somebody with time to work on it. It looks like it is all complete, the engine turns over and some of the expensive things you never think about when figuring what a restoration will cost — like the seat springs are there. The gauges are all there, with a little tinkering it would probably fire up and run and go play. Or if you need parts — here they are. The little L head engines are getting hard to find, if I didn’t already have a good running one and a spare one for my 48 CJ I’d just keep this.
There are a lot of good parts here, these things have really gotten popular in recent years and the supply of some original parts is pretty slim. The gauges are worth money — the new Chinese ones are crap – the grill and starter and generator and wheels are all worth some bucks.
I just put 48 in the year, I don’t know exactly what year it is and the 113275 is actually the model number. I put parts only in for the title because I don’t have it in hand yet but they are supposed to be sending it to me. When I get the title it will have the year and all that on it — should be in the mail in a day or two.”
No drivetrain.
“Full willy’s jeep body no motor or trans included,set of 5 tires and rims steel windshield frame steering wheel gas tank needs some work don’t have the money to fix it up right now comes with spare wheel mount $1200 or best offer (you can part it out for more then my offer easy)has original willy’s logo’s”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
(12/03/2013) I see nothing to indicate it’s earlier than 1947, but it does look good.
“This is a 1948, not a 1945 as my add previously stated. I made a mistake when originally posting..
All original drive train. Has overdrive. Mechanically perfect, needs nothing.”

Needs work. Body doesn’t look too bad.
“1947 willys CJ2A. L head 4 cyl. Runs, sort of. Stops, sort of. Rebuilt original carter carb. Shifts, pops out of 2nd (common on T90s). 4wd works fine. Needs lots of little things. Would make a good grocery getter or farm rig. If you’re looking for something to put in a museum, keep looking. I have the starter pulled right now, was going to put original 2A starter in, but someone previously changed flywheel. Can put 3A starter back in or you can replace flywheel and put 2A starter in. Tub has lots of rust. Replaced hood. It’s all there. Collector plates and clean title in hand. Email, text or call. $1750 OBO. ”
Probably a CJ-2A. It’s listed as a 1942.

What makes an Olive Drab paint “show quality”? Looks like a clean build, but not a restoration.
“This is a 1947 Willy’s CJ-3A Overland jeep, L-head engine, flat head 4 cylinder with T-90 transmission, 3 speed stick, high/low range transfer case, 4 wheel drive. Clean title.
This was a body off restoration completed in 2001, garage kept. The only system that was not an original replacement, is the electrical system, it has been upgraded from 6 to 12 volts. Generator replaced by AC delco alternator, system fuse box addition, two tail lights (instead of the original single on the drivers rear), directional kit with horn, turn key starter solenoid and grill fog lamps wired for directional, complete new wire harness. Body has no rust and has been undercoated with rubberized tar. Paint is olive drab and is show quality. Cooper military tires including spare. Jerry can and mount. Tailgate chains are dressed in military cloth and windshield had strap. New military seats. All gauges are functional, and even the emergency brake has been restored.
This vehicle is both fun to drive and show! My father and I enjoyed restoring it but since he has recently passed away I know longer enjoy it without him. Must sell!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
Needs some work still.
“The year is 1948. The war is over and back at home Willys has found a use for the much loved war jeep in rural America. This is that jeep and it is particularly unique in that is has its spare mounted on the left “a lefty” and has a PTO with the full hydraulic lift attachment for a 3 point farming hitch in surprisingly good condition. The original engine has been converted to 12volt and runs extremely well. The transmission works both in 2 and 4wd. There is also a working heater. Continue reading
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
(04/14/2016) The pics shown below show the jeeps prior to disassembly.
“I have two 1947 CJ-2A Willys jeeps in the process of restoration. Need to sell. $2000 firm. Have done a lot of the work to get the jeep parts ready for sand blasting. Many parts are ready for cleaning and replacement. Four cylinder original flat head engine. Have over $2700 invested. Messed up back and can no longer work on project. Photos are available for viewing but would love to get a phone call so more in depth information can be relayed. This is a great project for guys that are mechanically oriented. Have a lot of paperwork that will go with the projeck and will be willing to go over every aspect of the project that I have done so far.”
