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 .

Restored by previous owner who was Jeep enthusiast. Was a very rust free Jeep before resto. Previous owner sold due to illness. He owned it for many many years.

A one-family jeep.
“Here’s your chance to own an American Classic! This Willys Jeep has been in one family since 1948. The vehicle had a frame up restoration in the mid-1980s and is still in solid condition and good working order. It has been garage kept and meticulously maintained over the years. The car starts and runs great. All of the wiring works (odometer needs connected).
If you are interested in purchasing or learning more about the Jeep please contact me by e-mail. I would be happy to send additional information and photos on request.”

“1948 jeep cj2a and 1979 jeep wagoner with the Dana 44 narrow axles that will fit under the cj2a. I have a whole list of parts for the cj2a and the wagoner still has a lot of good parts that could be sold. Both rigs have a clear title! I had some changes in my personal life that pulled me away from this project for a few years. I’ve since lost interest so it’s just sitting. 1050.00 OBO may consider trade for Rat Rod project, an older under 20ft camp trailer or a late 60’s – early 70’s f100 pick up. Email or txt for more information. Calls will only be answers when I’m not at work.”

“I will not hold, first with cash owns it. Will trade for cash and firearms.
Runs and has title! I bought as a project, was going to bed line it, lift it and run around to the bars….HOA says I cannot keep it here as I do not have garage space.
My loss is your gain. Far from perfect, see photos, but tons of fun and priced right. Needs lights before it can be inspected and registered……but no emissions needed due to model year. F-head motor from later year.”

Pretty stock jeep for a California jeep.
“This jeep is in very good condition. It has been garaged for 20 years. It has a new rebuilt transmission with a new clutch. Re-wired through out and a re-built generator. It has the original engine. It needs minor work. IE brake leak fluid at the drums. The ignition key was lost and one of the transmission covers leaks gear oil.
It has gun racks and the back removable seat. This jeep has not ran for 20 years and will need some TLC.”
Looks like it may have had some body work along the driver’s side. Only one pic at the moment.

It’s very rough, but does appear to have a VEC windshield.
“I have a 40’s model Willys CJ-2A. I purchased it a couple months back and ended up buying another Jeep last week that I am going to use instead of this one.

Maybe some value?
“Selling a project of mine. It’s a 1947 CJ2A Willys Jeep. The body and frame are pretty rough. Transmission and transfer case are not installed. Transfer case looks good but transmission needs to be rebuilt. The engine has been converted to a 4cyl Ford Pinto and has the adapter plate. Engine cranks over and everything works however wouldn’t start. Probably wouldn’t take much effort to get her started though. Oil and filter are fresh. New coil (has been converted to 12V). New starter motor.
Would be good as a parts vehicle or a project.
I do not have the title for it. ”

Jay spotted this one. It’s listed as a 1949. It’s missing the column shift and the early windshield, so this might be a mix of parts.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1895
Both have titles. Might be a good deal.
