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 was an old service jeep from ‘Jim’s Auto Service’.

Located fifty miles west of Minneapolis in Willmar, MN, the Schwanke Car, Tractor, and Truck Museum has been open since 1998. It features the collection of Virgil Schwanke, who has been collecting vehicles for fifty-five years. He has assembled over 400 units for display, including tractors, cars, trucks, gas engines, gas pumps, signs and more. He recently added a CJ-2A to the museum.
Virgil uses this CJ-2A as a springboard to talk about jeeps during World War II. You can read more in the museum’s blog post.

(05/23/2012) The stickers on the underside of the hood suggest this was a club jeep that has been around a bit. It seems to be missing a headlight bezel, too.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(12/16/2012) Looks like a nice rig. Lots of detail pics. However, a variety of minor updates keep it from looking “like it was in 1948 from the factory”.
“This is a rare, 1948 Jeep CJ2A Willys that will take you to the car shows to win trophies or will take you across the desert. ONLY 570 MILES SINCE FULL RESTORATION. Jeep is new.
This jeep went through a full documented, nut and bolt, frame off restoration in 2008 including:

Pictures, journal entries, receipts, Appraisal, etc all included with sale. This jeep is laser straight and looks like it was in 1948 from the factory (Except color, fancy soft top and seat belts). Everything works. Hop in and drive.”
This jeep is a few hours south of me. ONly one pic, but it looks good. I’m surprised the windshield wipers are mounted above the windshield.
“Has nice top and tires, runs/drives good. Engine was converted to Ford 4-cyl. Sorry no restoration or maintenance history but it’s a nice little Jeep! Serious buyers email or call/text 208 830 1425.”

The motor is apart and the rear wheel well looks odd, but there seems to be value here.

(12/28/2013) Looks like it has an overdrive.
“I have a 46 Willy’s jeep for sale, I am asking $2000 or best offer if you are interested please make me an offer, but no low ballers, that means please do not call me and offer me $500, it is worth more than that. Please do not call or text telling me what rough shape it is in, I am aware of the work that it needs.
I am not in a hurry to sell this jeep, and would be fine keeping it, but I do not have the time for it and it is just taking up space. I would rather sell it so that it does not just sit and rot.
It has a clean title, current registration, and it runs, but it is a project. The Jeep has full soft top and bikini top.”
While it might be labeled a 1949, the VIN of 212310 suggests it was manufactured in 1948. So, it is almost a rare model. It’s definitely a late CJ-2A though.
“Willys Jeep CJ2A with 3,625 miles on a completely rebuilt Flathead Willys engine.
Complete body off frame restoration approximately 6 years ago with the entire body painted with Turbo liner paint VIN# 212310.
Converted to 12 Volt system with all new wiring, gauges, headlights, twilights and turn signals.
Rearend and transmission completely and professionally replaced with all new gears and clutch.
This jeep is restored to better than it was brand new. Most of the fastening bolts and nuts are stainless steel.
All new vinyl upholstery in woodland camo.
New black soft top ( Bestop Tigertop)
I have most all receipts. This is a very rare jeep, there were only 2,182 1949 CJ2A jeeps produced and this is in the Top 10 of the remaining 1949 CJ2A’s.
I also have an original Bantum Trailer that goes with this jeep in a very good condition.
We are asking $13,000 OBO.If you have any questions please send an email or call me at (208) 659-7553.”
