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: Price dropped to $3500.
Listed as a 1941, this looks more like a 2A or 3A.

Needs some work, but the body looks solid.
“I have a 1948 Willy’s Overland Truck, it has 39000 miles, four cylinder three speed on the column, 6 volt system, two wheel drive that was only offered in the first three years of production. Truck had been sitting in a garage since mid 70’s before I purchased it a couple of months ago. The truck is all original, comes with all the factory extras, jack, tire chains, and helper springs. Needs fuel system cleaned and all the rubber lines replaced, motor turns over with starter after I put new battery in it. I found three rust spots about the 1/4″ each in floor when I pulled original rubber floor mat up. Original paint, and I have good Oklahoma title in hand, also have original owners manual that came with truck. ”

(09/10/2015) It’s a project, but includes an engine that might have been rebuilt.
“1948 Willy’s CJ2A jeep. This is a project waiting for the right person. Engine is a flat head four cylinder and appears to have been rebuilt. Looks like most everything is there except the seats and radiator. Last driven on the streets in 1984. Transfer case has two levers, one for 2-4 wheel drive, one for high-low range. Very good shape for a vehicle this old. Restore it, build a crawler or just drive it the way it is. Great patina. It is titled as a 1948, no emission requirements like air pumps or catalytic converters. You can put any engine you want under the hood and not have to worry about it. Lock out hubs.”

The April 1955 issue of Willys News published this photo. It’s a tour jeep truck for the Africa. It seems a little too open to me. Those lions look like they could easily leap inside.
Blaine spotted this unique kit. It transforms a kids wagon, such as a Radio Flyer, into a jeep-shaped wagon.
“XploRoller is a rugged wagon body that attaches to various wagon axles like, Radio Flyer©, Harbor Freight wagons, or go extreme and build a custom suspension system. The hood lifts up for a little storage (sweaters and snacks fit great). Start a fun project with your kid/kids and stand out from the crowd, don’t have WAGON ENVY 🙂
(THE GREEN, PURPLE, AND GRAY WAGONS ARE BUILT EXAMPLES)
This builder kit comes in raw form, prep for paint or powder coat is required. There are 10 parts to the kit.
X1 Aluminum Hood
X1 Aluminum Tailgate
X1 Aluminum Pan
X2 Aluminum Body Sides
X2 Aluminum Hood Braces
X2 Steel Axle Mounts

All body assembly hardware and side body trim is included.

“I have a 1942 frame and a 1947 tub. It is titled as a 1942.
Willys needs the following work to be road worthy;
New or rebuilt carb. This one has sat with gas in it.
New starter. The one that it has is missing a couple of teeth on the gear.
Windshield glass. I have the gaskets, just not the flat glass.
The wood blocks that go on the hood so that you can lower the windshield.
Sounds like an easy weekend. Continue reading
