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 .

Paul Barry shared these images of an early CJ-2A for sale from last week. The VIN and the body number are nearly 10,000#s apart (VIN is 38xxx, body 28xxx), which made me wonder if this was originally two different jeeps.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5999.
Has some mods. Gas filler is behind the left rear wheel.
“This is a 1947 Willys Jeep.
It comes with a cover to protect the beautiful 2 year old red paint job.
I am selling this for a friend whose husband passed away and was restoring it– (about 90-95% restored).
4 wheel drive, 4 speed (w/PTO), GM small block V8 – 283 engine (not the original engine but runs well).
Battery 2-3 yrs old
This is a great buy at $5,999.”
Could be worth a look. Has a wiring issue with headlights and lights.
“1965 willys jeep…needs some electrical work….brand new 12,000# winch with wireless remote….removable bimi top…snow plow included to clear your drive….cash only….do not contact me about selling this vehicle….thanks for looking .The wiring issues are headlights and blinkers…Vehicle runs and drives and stops just fine….this vehicle is 52 years old….the body has some bubbling and probably body filler in that area….not a problem for me…if your using it for hunting and tree limbs are brushing the side who cares.this vehicle travels 45mph on a dirt road just fine.will go faster but sways left to right at higher speed….I attribute this to the off road oversize tires and dirt road.this is a great little jeep for the hunter or person who could use it around a yard or farm….it is not a trailor only vehicle…if that’s what you are looking for….keep looking…!”

“Selling this for my dad who’s moving and has to many vehicles so he can no longer hold onto this. Just trying to get what he has in it.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Runs, drives, has winch and needs tires.
“4×4 – 3 speed – F134 Engine – 12,000 lb winch – new Carb, fuel pump, muffler. Gas tank checked out, no rust. Mags (needs tires)- no top – rollbar.”
Runs, but is missing a title.
“I have a complete and running all original 1948 Willys CJ2a. The title is missing, I originally bought this Willys for parts, after getting it home and tinkering with it I realized it is far too complete/original to pull pieces off of it for another project. With that said, I do not have time for two projects, therefore, regretfully, I am going to part ways with this one. I bought this jeep without a title for parts only. The frame is solid, it was broken when I bought the jeep, I have since patched it, changed the oil, put in a new battery, points and condenser and by ‘rigging’ the wiring a little and got the jeep running, which obviously mean the engine is free and seemingly decent condition for its age.
I do not know much about the jeep. By deciphering its serial number I was able to realize it is a late 48′ year jeep. Other than that, not much is known, all original equipment seems to be there in entirety. The jeep will need brakes all around, the access port cover in the floor is missing, a new wiring harness is needed, unless your better with wiring that I am, it will also need a radiator fan shroud, it does have both seat frames and the radiator cap which are not present in the photos. It is also apparent someone made an attempt at repairing the sheetmetal once before and its not great, but this is a very solid start, better than most you will find. Be clear, I don’t need to sell this jeep, so do not email me asking for my bottom dollar, if you come in person, we can talk, I will negotiate but only in person, otherwise, please don’t waste my time.”

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $5000.
(08/26/2013) It runs and drives.
“1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A Military Restoration
1947 painted to resemble an old military version. It was a little more complicated and expensive than I thought but it will last a long time now and be alot of fun for the kids for years to come.
I replaced the brakes from the master cylinder, lines to brake cylinders and replaced the pads and two drums, plus the emergency brake. New shocks, tires (original WWII bi-directional), a new bell housing, clutch plate, new radiator, hoses, belts and seats. We degreased the thing 3 times before I had it sand blasted and painted. Restored in 2001 and pretty much garage parked since. Engine is original and in pretty good shape.
I have about 30 current photos so let me know what you would like to see !”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3250.
(03/16/2017) Runs and drives, but requires hand signals. It is licensed as an ATV.

“1964 Willys for sale. It has a chevy 350 engine in it. Here is the rundown. I have owned it as a project jeep for about 6 months. I overpaid for it (my fault), and paid $4,200 for it, I have put roughly $2,500 into it from parts and paying a buddy (mechanic) to help (not including my own time). I am selling it because I am trying to buy a plane ticket for my girlfriend to go to the East Coast to see her grandma one last time. So, basically I need the money. I am up front and honest about the condition of the Jeep. The good and the bad about it. Ill start with what I have done to it/what is good about the jeep. The jeep does run, and I would say it runs well, but obviously it is not a finished project.
-New radiator
-New alternator
-New battery and battery box
-New fuel tank
-New starter and solenoid
-New battery shutoff
-Rewired most of the wiring
-Updated registration
– Has a soft top, but I have never used it

(10/29/2016) Bruce has this 2A & Trailer for sale. Contact him at 865 456-3535.
“I hate to do this, but I am finally ready to sell my 1947 4WD Army Jeep and trailer. It’s a CJ2a, restored, new seats, new top, great tires, new clutch and throw-out bearing, and the transmission has been totally rebuilt. I made it into a Military Police Jeep with a working siren, faux M-1 carbine in a rifle holder at the base of the windshield, ax and shovel mounted and a military trailer to pull behind. The engine is original, and if the speedometer is correct (and I believe it is), there is 28,000 miles on her. It will go about 50+ MPH, but with the military tires, I like to stay around 40. The overall length of both the Jeep and trailer is 21 feet. I restored it myself and have used it in numerous area parades. The looks and thumbs up I get can’t be counted. Folks are so appreciative to see a working WWII era Jeep. Of course, during the 5 years I have owned it, she has been garage kept.”
