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 lot.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800
(10/04/2011) There looks like some value here.
“1948 WILLYS CJ2A. the motor has been replaced with an 1986 ford ranger 2.3 leeter which has been adapted to the warren t90 tranny. it runs and drives as is but the wiring needs to be finished. it has the ranger wiring harness, just needs to be connected. rear seal of the transfer case leaks a little. got the new seal just haven’t had the time to put it in. a new hood wouldn’t hurt much. comes with a set of 28 tsl’s super swampers. one needs to be replaced. has inner side wall damage from being ran to long with low air presure. if your interested email me. $800 don’t want to sell it but i got bills to pay.”
UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $6000
(12/26/2008) From the parts list and description, there’s been a great deal of work and money invested in this jeep. This nice looking CJ-2A sports a fiberglass body, tub and fenders. My only concern about this jeep is the way the rollcage appears to connect to the back wheel wells rather than connecting directly to the frame, as should be done with a fiberglass body.

UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $2000
(08/20/2011) This looks pretty rough.
“This is a project I wanted to play with but havent had the time.”
UPDATE: Price bumped to $650.
(09/01/2011) I believe this jeep might have cushioned the fall of a UFO.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1700
(09/30/2011) This is a running jeep, though it runs on propane. It sounds like it might be a good deal, though it needs a few things.
“The Willys is a 1947 CJ2A. I picked it up near Fresno last year with no eng and trans. I found an orig T90 and Dana 18. in Wickenberg AZ. At this point I was going to restore it back to original I was unable to find a flat head 134.
I made the decision change the engine.
I changed it from a 78 truck 30k on the engine. Re-sealed the engine converted it to run on propane with Impaco 425 kit . I used Novak adapters for the trans and engine mounts a new Griffin aluminum radiator. The Willy’s starts and runs you can drive it. All it needs is a electric fan and an exhaust to be done.”
