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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 $1500.
This has a 2A body, so the date and model may be incorrect. The wagon/truck/jeepster front clip fits pretty well.

(05/19/2023) RJ is helping sell this customized CJ-2A. Note the engine and dash updates. It also has a convenient flip-down spare tire carrier in the back.

“1947 CJ2a Willy’s Overland Jeep. $5,000 OBO.
Has a 1988 Buick/Olds 3.8 V6 fuel injected engine that was swapped out with a V6 from a 1988 Cutlass Ciera, along with the power steering, steering wheel and possibly the seats. The odometer states approx. 13k miles, but that is NOT accurate. Exact mileage is unknow.
It is connected to a 700R4 automatic tranny and the original transfer case, which appears to have dull shifter sticks, along with the factory Dana 18. It will run but not very well, forward and reverse gears working.
Power brakes and power steering. Stock axles with mile marker hubs. Newer slot mag style wheels, 30-9.50r15 tires that are starting to weather check. Fuel tank and filter were replaced last year.
The body work is starting to show its age but the tub isn’t terrible underneath. A few bubble spots, clear coat fading and paint damage on hood from a tarp. The bondo is about 5/10 on the Rathbone scale. Fenders have been customized as well as the tailgate, it has CJ7 style hinges and latch. Besttop tiger top has a few winters left in it, windows are starting to fog. Custom seats, carpet kit, back seat, radio console, gauge cluster and roll bar inside. Located in Pocatello, ID”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5500.
This looks solid. It’s got a bench seat in the front (as far as bench seats go in a jeep, it looks somewhat practical).

(09/21/2023) Runs and drives. This has a unique cargo carrier(?) on the hood. The driver’s drain hole looks filled.
“1947 Willys Cj2a. Quite a few new parts, for some reason it wouldn’t let me post them all. You can drive it home. Pm me for list and accessories! New, starter solenoid, fuel pump, carburetor, battery, gas tank, seat frames and cushions, tire chains, jack, etc.”
This 2A has a ‘Lefty’ body, though it appears in poor condition. The ad does not mention if the body in the background goes with it.

“Small block Chevy 305 conversion project with automatic th350 and new novak adapter to bolt on to rebuilt Dana 18 transfer case! Jeepster front and rearends with disc brakes lots of spare parts! I do have title!”
At twelve pages, the November 1958 Jeep News is one of the largest issues published.
Page one contains various dealer info stories. Page two discusses the growth of jeep clubs and their potential as unofficial ‘salesmen’ for the product and brand. Also on page two is a discussion of the jeep-name origin. You’ll note the appearance in that discussion of the term “G P”, which I’ve yet to see definitive proof to if being used prior to the introduction of the Ford GP in early 1941. Bill Norris was able to locate a blurb, possibly from May of 1942, that suggests the letters “G P” that “appeared on all orders for the specifically made car”, however it’s not clear which orders such letters appeared on or when they appeared. But, it’s an avenue worth exploring.
Page three highlights dealer news, while page four shares how popular jeep exhibits had become at local and state fairs. Page five covers the importance of lighting to jeep dealerships, while page six and seven announce that dealerships have penetrated areas all over the US, though none of the dealerships shown are west of Oklahoma (still 1300 miles to LA from OK). Page eight and nine are again mostly dealer news, though page nine does cover a druggists satisfaction with the new DJ-3A dispatcher.
Pages ten and eleven have a wide variety of stories, but I thought the custom DJ-3A “The Goody Cart” ice cream jeep on page ten was particularly interesting. Page twelve covers a story about some jeepers capturing California horse rustlers.
