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 .
No drivetrain, but might have a little value.

Pfc. Harold B. Whiting of Plainfield, New Jersey, built an award-winning model jeep that in 1946 that landed temporarily on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This article was featured in the February 2, 1946, issue of the Afro-American. I wonder where that model is now??
An October 26, 1951, article from the Times-News of Henderson, North Carolina, reported that the State Supreme Court of Texas ruled jeeps were “uncouth . . . without beauty of line or body”! Obviously, this didn’t sit well with Willys Overland.
Here’s a nice looking 2A. The seller listed this elsewhere and was unsatisfied with the response. It sounds like he got a lot of people who just wanted to ride in it.
“Frame off restoration by owner with many new parts. NOS where possible. 6/8 volt. Civilian. Was a farm jeep so there are some dents in the bed. 4×4. High/Low gear box. 3 speed transmission. No PTO. 429xx miles on the odometer, but I cannot say it has never been replaced since I do not know that for sure.
Listing here on Craigslist for a more target audience. Had it listed on another site that had too many inquiries in too large an area for me to sort though and reply to.
If you were one of the many who inquired earlier please include the site you found it on so I know you are serious. Others, please do your homework on CJ2s so you know the basics about them. Asking questions where the answer is obvious is a sure tell sign you are not serious.
I don’t have time or the desire for showing just for the fun of it so make sure include enough info so I can determine how serious you are.”

Last week I dropped by my parents house to visit. Naturally, I also had some sonny-do chores to finish, including my annual ‘sweeping of the roof’. Their tall fir trees might look beautiful, but eventually fall from the limbs and have to land somewhere. How they all seem to reach the roof remains a mystery to me.
The good news is I did manage to get a little work done on Biscuit. After swapping rear leaf spring combinations more times than i care to count, I finally got a grouping that puts the jeep level and the pumpkin at the right angle. That completes the changes necessary for the rear. Now I just have to finish off the engine compartment, brake, and clutch changes. I’m in no rush as the next book is the priority project, but hopefully by years end the jeep will be running again.
Looking for a modern truck in a vintage package? Thanks to Guy, we now know of at least one option: Legacy Classic Trucks. Based out of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, the company specializes in rebuilding classic trucks of all kinds, including Jeep Scramblers and Dodge Power Wagons. The Four Door Power Wagon below is one example. According to their website, most of their trucks are built to order with a variety of power train options and are priced accordingly.
Charles in Belgium has these two pumps and plans to sell one. The problem is he’s not sure which one he should keep and is having trouble learning more about them. I did a little research and found other, more common WWII pumps, but couldn’t find any examples of these. So, anyone know if one is more interesting or more valuable than the other?
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2600.
Sure seems like a good price. No good pics of the body provided.
“1947 CJ2A runs great and everything works. Rebuilt motor with 12 volt system.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
It sure looks like there’s been nicely rebuilt, though not perfectly stock. It could be a good price.
