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 $6000.

(09/17/2024) According to the seller this was a Navy contract CJ-2A. It’s not clear what evidence the seller has, but there might be a plate under the serial plate on the firewall. This would be a rare 2A if that’s the case.

“Former navy contract CJ2A. Was an airport jeep for a while. Easy to work on, currently turns over but I haven’t got it to start back up. It is a great hobby vehicle and so much fun to cruise around in. Give me your best offer!”
This is a project of some type. The body looks to be a replacement body, so hard to tell if this has a WWII or CJ chassis/

“Real solid cj jeep very cool”
Dan shared this nice looking CJ-2A with a Kelly 23 series hardtop. This HiBid auction ends with a soft close in 23 days. This does have some unusual looking hubs, which I imagine are just a cover over the original hubs?

This jeep may be worth a look. Is that hitch unusual? It looks like three rods/bolts are holding it in place.

It sounds like this went through a flood. Seller lost his house. Most pics show this in progress, but the initial pic shows it together. So, I’m not sure how complete this is.

(03/05/2024) The seller is correct; this is a classic PNW build, with the Desert Dogs, a V6, the diamond plate corners, the diamond plate side pieces, the Bobcat Hood, along with other updates.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/459634346632408
“The time has come for me to sell my 1946 CJ2(ish) little beast. It’s sporting a Buick 198 fireball, t90, bobcat hood, Cadillac telescopic column, rather beat up 64 corvette seats, full set of Desert Dogs, ect ect. The top is pretty beat up but keeps the weather out about as well as you could hope. All and all a great example of a classic PNW jeep. It runs and drives but could certainly use a tune up as I’ve not been driving it much at all (hence the sale) Mainly looking for cash but could be open to trades for a newer jeep that would be more daily driver friendly”
The seller listed this as a 1947, but it’s got a 1948 Lefty body.

“1947 CJ2A, lefty model. Complete with title. Ford 2.0 engine 4 cyl. Turns over. $1500 ”
