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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $850.
This Roper is different than others I’ve seen or documented. Maybe it was primarily sold to tractors?

“1957 Willys FC-170 project, unfinished
L6-226 Super Hurricane engine.
Engine is solid and complete, all accessories are removed and stored but engine is good. It ran before I took the parts off the clean and paint everything.
I have to move so I must sell my project. I have spent hundreds of hours collecting parts, repairing rust, cleaning frames, doing body work, painting, and polishing. I have 95% of the parts to finish this project, you just need some soft parts for the doors and some rubber parts here and there. There are a lot of parts not pictured. I am available to show this after 5 on weekdays and on weekends. Don’t waste my time by telling me you are coming and not showing up. I have a lot of ads out and don’t have time for that shit. $3200 OBO.”
Runs and drives.
“Was posted as not driving earlier but I fixed the transmission issue.
1948 Willys CJ-2A, aka Jeep, was summer project, asking $3,500 or best offer, if you got a good Stihl or husky saw (20” bar preferred) to negotiate with that’d work. NO OTHER TRADES.
Lots of recent work:
Fluids changed: Gas, oil (and filters x2), transmission, transfer, front differential (all with correct “safe for all metals” fluids) coolant, brakes. New coolant temp gauge. New fuel pump, new fuel hose (second tank not hooked up yet). Parking brake refurbished, new parking brake cable and cable housing, New front brake lines, Front hubs and bearings re-greased. Carb re-gasket/rebuild new choke cable, cable housing, pull piece in cab, new air filter. New speedometer and cable. Electrical cleaned up, headlights and brake lights operational. I have brake master cylinder gasket rebuild kit, it didn’t need it. Skid plate was cleaned up but I didn’t remount because I was still working on speedometer. Added front tow attachment, and rear hubs can be un-locked for easy flat towing.
It starts powerfully, runs and drives well but I have no time to play or take it to the next level.”

(09/22/2015) Solid militarized 2A. The seller writes a great deal in his post, but say very little about the jeep. This may be not be “Barbie’s Jeep” but it isn’t the jeep that “freed Europe”.
“This isn’t Barbie’s Jeep. This is a RED-BLOODED AMERICAN, WAR-WINNING, STEEL FORGED JEEP! If your blood runs Red, White, and Blue than this is the vehicle you have been looking for. This isn’t any run of the mill Jeep. This was the Jeep that freed Europe from Hitler and helped to drop the bomb on Japan.”

“Hobart DC welder from the 50s powered by an industrial 4 cylinder CJ2A Willys flat head engine . Item has been stored in a garage for around 25 years after being taken out of service due to a leaky gas tank. The cables were scrapped due to the insulation all falling off of them years ago. The engine is stuck from sitting for years but should not have gotten any water in it. I have a key for it that fits the switch and moves between positions. Item being removed from a period transport trailer.”

(01/17/2016) Lacks an engine and tranny.
“I unfortunately have to sell my 1961 FJ 3 fleet van. This was a US Mail service delivery van and it is right hand drive. This short wheelbase and tall profile makes it a awesome shop truck or advertising vehicle. It has the perfect patina and very limited rusted through holes. This is less motor and trans so you can put whatever drivetrain you want in it. This fan rolls and steers good and has the original rear end in it. I was told that they made around 200 of these and most of them got destroyed when they were decommissioned. A few of them got out if you worked for the post office they would sell you one. First $4,000.00 gets it.. I can tex more pictures. ..”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
Jim shared this one.
“willys jeep 1959, 12 volt, runs & drives good, 2000.00.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3900.
(08/15/2015) This has an unusual rollcage. The jeep still needs some work.
“We are no longer firmly asking what a Willys CJ2A in this nice condition is worth at $4,700. But, with being in urgent need to get items sold for unexpected financial expenses, we are willing to consider any reasonable offers and will consider trade from partial to full.
We have owned this CJ2A for about 7 years and put a total of about 50 miles on it. When we bought it we thought about doing an extensive restoration as that is our side line business of restoring old trucks and Jeeps.
