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 .
Needs a couple things.
“Cleaning out some toys. 48 willies. Needs windshield and new starter right now but working on that.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
It runs, but needs a fuel line.
“I have a 1948 Willy’s Jeep CJ2A. Got it last year as a project and got a good bit done but now need the cash more than the project. I also have two seat frames (not pictured) to go with it. It has the original motor, transmission, and brass radiator. I had the brass radiator repaired and pressure tested last year and it works fine. The motor turns freely when you try to start it but the carb needs to be cleaned before it will fire. It is a 3-speed manual transmisson with a 4×4. Currently sitting on 31” tires. There is no body tub, doors, tailgate, or roof. It was outfitted as a ranch/farm vehicle and ran a little over year ago. I currently don’t have the fuel line hooked up to a tank. This is one of the original Jeeps and will make a great project for some one to finish.
The front bumper isn’t original, but the rest looks good.
“1This Rust-Free CJ2A was never abused, and has lived a pampered existence since frame off restoration. Always stored inside, not driven in foul weather. Mostly used for weekend jaunts. This is a great vehicle for any collection, or for use as a fun runabout in the country or the city. It’s ready to enjoy. Needs nothing, Runs perfect. Comes with a white best top and doors. Top bow is missing.”

(09/23/2014) Not quite the jeep that “rode to the front line”, but still worth a look.
“The same jeep style that rode to the front line during World War 2, this 1947 Willy Jeep is an American Classic. As rugged as it is blue-blooded American, this Jeep is in great shape, with hardly any rust in its solid steel construction. It has an original Flathead 4 cylinder, a 4 spd tranny and both high & low gears. It’s of course 4wd, and was also overhauled two years ago, with new springs, exhaust system and new tires! Willy Jeeps are classic Americana and symbols of patriotism that will always hold their value.”

This looks like a good jeep.
” From the Famous ZX 150,000 Acre Ranch eastern Oregon/ Nevada border since 1880’s Was sold at auction,when ranch sold in 1984/85 I purchased it from buyer in 1986. It was used by owners and VIP,s to tour the ranch when they were there. It is totally original, I had the engine bored 15 over, Rod & Main bearings crank turned. It was painted Red over the original red, has only about 3000 miles on engine . It has been in my garage, never outside since 1986 Seats are redone as original in black. It is has the original exhaust in perfect condition. Windshield and Glass , Wipers, instruments, all original only replaced parts are the temp gauge and the steering wheel.

Spare parts include, engine rebuilt, transmission rebuilt.New spare wheel and Tire not mounted in photos. Also New seats redone not in photos. Any questions I will answer, or make contact by phone anytime. Good luck bidding on this rare jeep”

Unusual color scheme. I keep thinking smurf-mobile.
“This Jeep was restored in the late 70’s early 80’s. The owner spared no expense as he intended to use it in local parades. He had the entire Jeep stripped and repainted with the Blue and White scheme shown. The engine and transmission were rebuilt at the time and everything was replaced to new condition.
After using it briefly in several parades the Jeep was tucked away in 1984 and has not been seen since until now! The Jeep is running and driving but as you can see there are some areas that will need to be addressed.
The paint is in fair shape and there is some rust starting to show with some separation on the hood and fenders. This is a running and driving Jeep powered by the 2.2 litre 134 engine with a three speed manual transmission and 4 wheel drive.
This is a fun Jeep that is ready for a new home and with a little TLC can be ready for the next parade!”
