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: **SOLD** Was $4000.
(04/03/2015) It’s a Texas-like hunting jeep.
“Very solid ,clean, and good running Willys jeep. All original except seats. Back seat is quickly removable.”
For a project, it’s on the high side, but that body sure looks straight.

“For Sale 1948 Willys/Jeep CJ-2A

Looks good for the price.
“This is the classic Willys CJ2A that represents the first year the CJ (Civilian Jeep) was introduced (after wartime production). It has been restored and runs beautifully. Not a bit of rust. All new wiring, all new brake system, rebuilt starter, rebuilt transfer case, all new gauges, all new 12V electrical parts (converted from original 6V by previous owner), new muffler, just about everything new. Odometer wasn’t working so not sure of mileage. Clean title. Needs some minor work including horn, windshield wiper motor and some other little things. It doesn’t have a top (there were no tops/doors back then except a bimini style). I don’t recommend this vehicle for young drivers since there are no seat belts or roll bar (also not invented then). This jeep is worth twice what I am asking.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.

“1948 Willy’s Jeep, Selling Dad’s Jeep, owned since late 60’s, runs and drives, dad rebuilt and overhead valve 4 cylinder engine, I think it was out of a 55 or 56 Jeep and still runs good. The 4 wheel drive is not working because the front differential gears broke, the jeep is in need of some rust repair, as shown in the pictures, the steps and a few places on the sides where some brackets are spot welded. The seats are the original and were re-upholstered years ago, and have been covered, one seat has got sunburned in one corner on the back, the rear cushions have been stored inside and are like new. The Jeep comes with the original engine which was running, it was smoking but know knocks, also have extra windshield, wheels, transmission, bell housing and other miscellaneous parts, new a wiring harness, wiper motor, and fender flares. I have everything loaded on a trailer and will deliver the first 100 miles for free. $1,800.00 OBO”
