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 .

<– Day 39 – Apr. 27th: Crying Babies and Grungie Folks | OVERVIEW | Day 41 – Apr. 29th: Ann Flies the Goose –>
Rick and I kneeling in front of men from Medford’s Firestation #4. They represent just some of the people who refurbished Rick’s CJ-2A.
We began the day with a quick trip over to the North Coast Co-op for some fresh bread, duck eggs (had to get 2 dozen), and some lunch items for a picnic at Redwood National Park. The co-op proved to be my favorite part of Eureka 🙂
Even better, there was a place that speaks “Jeep” across the street!
The clouds and rain promised by the weather experts on Monday never appeared. Instead, we were blessed with perfect weather for our drive up the remainder of the California Coast. Blue sky and a few clouds became a beautiful contrast to the tall, deep green forests we encountered.
Monday’s trip from Eureka, CA, to Rogue River, OR
During our drive we decided to stop at Trinidad. Dan had mentioned it in one of his comments. It turned out to have a high beach cliff with a beautiful view.
After Trinidad I expected to encounter a welcome sign for Redwood National Park. As we waited for the sign we were surprised to see a place called Trees of Mystery. Out front of the place was an enormous Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox.
Yep, that’s me leaning against babe’s leg.
After Trees of Mystery we continued searching for the welcome sign for Redwood National Park, but never saw it. It wasn’t until we reached Crescent City that I realized we must have driven through the park. Thus my plans for a picnic in the National Park was thwarted by signage, or lack thereof.
This looks a lot like a Triang, but it has two seats. I couldn’t find another example of this style.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
Looks like a strong 3B.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price
“this is the deal. this is my 1948 willys jeep cj2a. about 4 years ago i completed a ground up restoration, it is not a show vehicle(however i do take it to shows), not entirely original. i built this thing to drive, not to go wheeling. i rebuilt the l134 motor last year, the t90 transmission shifts smooth, i added an overdrive to the transfer case(works like split shifting). its a joy to drive. i just recently drove it to wildwood (a 100 mile round trip) without any issues. it currently has 4500 miles on it. i love it, i take it camping, move trailers around the yard via the front receiver hitch, drive it to work several times a month. it gets 14-16 mpg so its affordable to drive on a regular basis. top speed is now 55mph cruising at 45-50 in overdrive is where it is happiest. I’m not exactly wanting to sell it, I’m looking for more of a trade maybe with some cash.
I’m looking to build a flatbed/stakebody compact pickup with a diesel w/manual trans ext. capable of hauling a load when needed and carry some passengers and be relatively efficient while doing so. however, i am looking for a good candidate thats in good condition. preferably a toyota tacoma or pre tacoma double cab maybe a ranger, j10 jeep pickup. this is something i always wanted to do and i feel that i thoroughly enjoyed my time with my 48 willys. it just may be time for her to go. send me and email with what you have to offer along with its condition, or any questions you may have.”
Looks like it might be a good price.

“Up date for all you looking at my ad.
This jeep is 68 years old, has normal rust in front floor pans and the support H brackets have rust. Again average for this jeep. It is not a rust bucket. Now back to my ad.
Here is a really sweet example of Willys with a little attitude. First off this is a 1946 Willys CJ2A that has a Chevy 327 V8 with a EdleBrock 4 barrel intake and Quadra Jet 4 barrel carb, Its fun to drive. The drivetrain was updated from a 1971 CJ5. Transmission, transfer case, front and rear axles are:
Dana 27a front with 4:89 gear ratio
Dana 44 flanged 30 spine axle with 4:89 gear ratio
T14 3 speed transmission
Large hole single lever Dana 20 transfer case, and a Warn overdrive.
Needs: power valve sticks, carb need rebuilt or replace the power valve, needs new master cylinder (I have a new brake master cyliner in the box). Tires are are old but in good shape.
I have a one piece tie rod kit and a dual reservoir brake master cylinder that I planned on updating. I would through that in if wanted.”
It’s got potential.

This body is a cross between a MB/GPW and a 3A/2A. Not sure which it is.
