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 appears solid.
“THIS IS MY 1947 CJ2A THAT HAS BEEN REFURBISHED IN MANY WAYS, NEW PARTS ARE ALL NEW BRAKE LINES, SHOES, MASTER CYLINDER, NEW BATTERY, NEW GAS LINES, FILTERS, NEW OIL LINES, NEW GAS TANK, ALL NEW MILITARY TIRES WITH TUBES AND HOLDER WITH UNDER 75 MILES ON THEM, INCLUDING SPARE….PROBABLY SOME OTHER THINGS I DID BUT I DO NOT REMEMBER….JEEP IS MADE TO LOOK LIKE A MILITARY JEEP BUT IS NOT AN ACTUAL MILITARY JEEP, IT IS ACTUALLY A CJ2A, BUT HAS BEEN USED IN PARADES AND MOST OF THE VETERANS DID NOT EVEN KNOW IT WAS NOT A REAL MILITARY JEEP. THE MACHINE GUN AND M1 RIFLE ARE NOT INCLUDED…JEEP RUNS AND STARTS GREAT EVEN IN VERY COLD WEATHER….. SAME ORIGINAL 6 VOLT SYSTEM…..GREAT VEHICLE FOR PARADES FOR JUST MESSING AROUND…..THE ENGINE PURRS AND NO NOISES OR SMOKE….VEHICLE HAS A CLEAN SOUTH CAROLINA TITLE. IT IS A REAL EYE CATCHER WHEN TAKEN DOWN THE ROAD…… ”

“48 Willys Jeep, excellent start to a great Jeep project. Smallblock Ford V-8, Ford full syncro 3 spd transmission, twin stick transfer case. Tub is very good, has a very nice hardtop complete with doors ( missing left side rear glass but it is flat and easily cut at glass shop) Jeep will run and move but as I said it IS A PROJECT. There is no steering gear or column ( has saginaw steering gear mount in place already) The brakes will need gone through top to bottom ( pedal is stuck ) I have a battery to hear it run but it is not included. Engine / transmission, tub and top are worth the asking price, this Jeep has tons of potential. Bring cash and drive onto your trailer. $1500.00 cash only. ”

“I am selling a nice 1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep. The jeep is in good shape for its age, It’s had a hard top on it for years which I just took off as it was not in very good shape so there is no gone through rust that I can see in the floors. There is a little rust in the hat channels but not very much. The motor is an original early Flat head four cylinder and it starts right up and runs VERY good. Doesn’t seem to smoke and purrs like a kitten. I went out to start it today and it was about 30 degrees out and it fired right up and ran great… The transmission will shift into first and reverse but wont go in second or third for some reason. I have another complete transmission with transfer case that is in good shape that I will give the new owner, and it shifts through all the gears. I have new hubs for the jeep and its also the original 6v electrical system!! Sold as is, I have a clear Colorado title for the jeep. Its located in Crawford Colorado but I can ship to Colorado springs or if you are somewhere close to Colorado. If you have any questions please call me at (970-210-0680)”
