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 a running project.
“It’s a 1946 cj2a with 4×4 and the original 4 cylinder motor and it all works as it should! She’s not a show truck by any means, but runs solid- starts every time the first time- and goes in and out of 4×4 without issue. I try to start it just and drive it every now and then to keep everything fresh. Tires have great tread all the way around and I have a tons of extra parts (Turn signals, mirrors, etc). I also do have the original windshield as well.
No serious rust issues. Normal surface rust in places and some crappy old bondo work on the fender, but that’s about it.”

Seth spotted this unusual Jeepster.
“YES I know Willys never made a 4 WD Jeepster but we did. This car was built in the late 60”s By an engineer in Utah. It was almost completed when he passed away. I bought the car from the estate three years ago finished it here at the shop.
Its powered by a new 1965 Buick Wildcat 401 nailhead engine delivery 400 lbs of torque to the drive train. It has a 3 speed T-90 trans and a Warn all range overdrive. It has high /low range, 2wheel/4 wheel drive and power take off for the winch. The top and interior and carpet and side curtains are all new. The chrome is very nice and the paint good but not perfect. NO RUST EVER. It has all new brakes and new tires. It has a new Edelbrock 600 CFM carb New aluminum radiator, and the engine only has 300 miles on it for testing. This is truly a unique well designed, versatile Jeepster. It will climb mountains and pull down a tree as well as do highway speeds.”

(02/07/2016) Looks nice. Has a passenger side tank.
“I have a really nice and clean 1948 Willy Overland/ Jeep CJ2 for sale. It has a Buick 215 aluminum V-8 engine, T90 3 speed transmission, T18 2 stick transfer case – with the rare Warn over drive attached. The axles are 5.38, wheels are 15 x 8. It has the original dash and firewall data plates. Dual gas tanks with transfer valve. New battery. GM saginaw steering conversion. I have the original back seat for it, as well as a bolt on rear rack with high lift jack attached. It has a nearly new Mile Maker PE6000 winch. Has a tow bar and light cable. I am selling this for a family friend who lost her husband to cancer. This was his hunting vehicle a couple times a year and was not a daily driver. I have 2 buddies that are Willy’s experts, so I can get any Willy/Jeep questions answered for you. We do not know much of the history of this Jeep, except that same guy has owned it since 1982. ”
It looks in great shape, but I can’t imagine there’s a large market for show jeeps in Alaska. It isn’t 4WD.

seller notes the ‘9″ Brakes changed to Outboard’, but I’m not sure if that means disc or drum.

“Meyer brand hard top for early cj5 willys jeep I believe it’s got all pieces but the doors are disassembled and missing one back side window has some damage at the front edge above the windshield but I had installed it on mine and there didn’t seem to be any problems’
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
It’s a project. It’s listed as a 3A, but has a 2A body and windshield. The chassis appears to be 3A.
“So, I’ve decide to sell all of my toys and projects. The last thing on my list is my 1950 Willys CJ3A. I own two businesses, go to school full time and work a part time job. I have zero time to put into any projects. The Jeep is tore completely apart and ready to be refinished and reassembled so a trailer and truck will be needed to pick it up. I have $3500 invested so far, but will entertain reasonable offers.
The good:
The body is in decent shape, I have new steel to put into it and new pre-bent floor pans
The frame is good, there are no cracks around the horns, just small amount if recent surface rust
I have the fabled clean title, in hand, and will also do a bill of sale
Motor is not seized and I have a video of me driving it before the teardown
Has the rear seat
Has a Cj2a split window windshield
The bad:
This is not a matching numbers jeep and the data tags were missing when I bought it
It’s in 1000 pieces.
Everything needs wire wheeling, sanding or sandblasting
All suspension parts were shot, rusted and unusable.
