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 .

It’s suppose to be a mix of parts. No title.
“It been added to from other jeeps. Runs and drives. I think the moter is out of a 48. Also have a top and doors soft. I Know who used to own it. It’s never had a title. I have bill of sales. We can write one up if you want it. It’s been a farm truck all its life.”
The 1948 looks solid, but the drain holes appear filled. The 1946 needs some work (no parking lights for example), so to call it “perfect running and driving condition” seems a stretch.
“Two Willys Jeeps CJ-2A One is a 1948 and one 1946 Both 2nd owner and sat 40 years.
Both Perfect Running and Driving Condition. Asking $13,500.00 for the Green Jeep which is all original, $12,500.00 For Brown Jeep which has had a newer motor installed.
Will sell both as package for $22,000.00”

No updates tonight other than this one.
We made it to Seattle a couple days ago. I made some more progress blasting some smaller parts yesterday. In order to blast the t-handle parking brake, I had to disassemble it. The last thing to remove was a screw/pin so I could remove the brake lever from its housing. I didn’t know whether to unscrew or press out the screw/pin, but as I examined iI felt pretty sure it should press out. Still, I thought it best to text a friend: Chris McKay. He said he thought it was pressed out, too. So, I set out to remove the pin.
Here is what the brake looks like assembled.
Here’s the top of the pin:
This shows the back side. I had to line up the hole in the housing with the back of the pin:
I grabbed a small socket to catch the pin and an object that could press through the hole:
Here’s the second half to the Universal Jeep Booklet. The pages I shared yesterday are underneath these. I’ll get them reordered at some future point.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000.

Craig spotted this one. It’s not clear whether the plywood in the back is hiding the floor or protecting it.

According to the seller, this is “Immaculate and almost entirely original”. I’d sure like to see those rare CJ-2A 1944 data plates!

Runs great and has no problem reaching max. speed posted on plaque on dash. Fun to off road in. Immaculate and almost entirely original. Vacuum window wiper motors, original army rucksack seats, original wooden carry-on tool box, back bench equip but not mounted for fear of ruining genuine body.
Original flat head 4cyl with refurbishment. Switched out the old 6v generator for a 9 volt. DOES NOT REQUIRE LEAD ADDITIVE – Just takes regular oct.
