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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 to be finished.
“I have a Willys cj2a that needs finished. I have almost all new parts for it. I just don’t have time to finish it. Brand new tires and rims, water pump, fuel pump, master cylinder, all new guages.

“1948 Jeep CJ2A
This is a one of a kind WWII jeep! It’s most likely the only one like it in this area as most of them aren’t fully enclosed. If you want something that’s impossible to drive without smiling, this is for you. I believe its original purpose was for communications equipment during WWII based on a little research I’ve done.
Everything works like new! Ok, that’s a lie, but it does drive down the road. It has working 4 wheel drive and hi/low range that functions correctly. The tires are brand new and have great grip in the mud and woods. It’s almost comical how well it rolls over logs and anything you put in front of it including small trees.
Seller claims this is on a VW frame, but if that’s the case, it is hidden well.
“This is a 1948 Willys jeep on a vw frame. Cruises hwy speeds very easy. Engine in rear and great suspension over the original jeep Chasis and all are completely rust free. Extremely rare and hard to find however parts are reasonably priced and easily available. 8000 or best offe”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800
“Complete 48 Willys jeep ,, with hard top and doors. Good rig for parts or if you are feeling ambitious on a rebuild. All there ,, but rough.”
The 2A looks like a good candidate for a rebuild. The 3A is a parts jeep.
“I have a 1947 Willys Jeep. It is painted yellow although my plan was to repaint in Army green. Body in very good condition as is frame – no rust. Does not run, but ready to be rebuilt. I have about $1,200 of boxed parts including a new wiring harness and new radiator. Additionally I have an extra set of tires and rims and a second jeep, 1953, of the same model to use for parts.”

UPDATE: Still Available.
(02/01/2017) Lots of updates.
“1947 CJ2A body on a 1974 CJ5 frame. 327 cubic inch Chevy engine, 3 speed manual, four wheel drive, rear lockers. This was basically a frame off restoration. The engine was rebuilt and everything is either new or refurbished. Front disk brakes, new gauges. The odometer was set to zero when the engine was finished. The frame and body were sand blasted and painted. No rust or body damage. Custom seats, power steering, new Bestop soft top. Windshield wipers and a heater have been added for Colorado weather. Reverse shackle leaf springs for improved handling, tilt steering. It runs and drives great. Good Offroad setup. I inherited this jeep so I don’t have some of the specifics on certain parts. The price is fair and firm. It needs to be seen to be appreciated.”
