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 .
If the fenders are in good shape it’s a good price.

A potential buyer was looking for some feedback on this one. I’ve sent them mine. My biggest issue was those front frame rails. they’ve been extensively patched.
“Here is a nice Jeep from World War 2. GPW engine, T90 transmission, with original front/rear axles. Nice straight body, but to be honest, unsure if original or reproduction?? All the holes on the tub have been welded up, which reproductions come un-drilled if I am correct?? Has 5 combats with new tires, tubes, and flaps. REAL NICE Jeep for the money. DoIRM, so don’t offer me anything less, as the answer is NO. Thanks and Hope you all have a Happy New Year. Have a M100 trailer for additional money if interested??
I will throw in the side/corner handles, the bumperettes, the gas carrier, spare tire carrier with spare and tire,”

This August 1961 Jeep Family brochure called “You Can’t Hide from the Fact” featured a hippo trying to hide behind a small tree. It’s not clear to me why they used all the cutesy animal references during this time period. This is Form No. DM61-08.
UPDATE: Tim wrote me to say he’d found some of these sitting unused outside his place of employment. Unfortunately, there was too little left of them or they were too far gone to restore. The ones they had were powered by Wisconsin air-cooled V4 engines. They also had stainless steel tanks for liquid usage. He was able to take photos of a complete one before they disassembled it. The company that made that sprayer still exists. http://buffaloturbine.com/ The sprayers look very similar too.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4950.
Looks in good shape. Hardtop looks good (sears deluxe?).

“I have a 1948 Willys Jeep cj2a for sale. I have done a frame off restoration. The jeep has a new tub, original fenders, new hood, tailgate, exhaust, carb, exhaust manifold and wiring and much more. This jeep is still a 6 volt system with all new gages and everything works. It has the military tires all five and is painted black under coating thru out. It does need for the drive train to be sealed just from sitting so long which I have and the emergency brake and cable to be installed which I have all the parts. It had approx. 62,000 when I got it and runs great. It has been kept inside a shipping container. I will include pictures soon but if you like to see it please call.”
