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 .

Here is a CJ-2A manual with a little damage.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $700
(03/11/2012) This is pretty rough.
“OLD WILLYS COMPLETE JUST WANT IT GONE”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200.
(07/21/2012) I knew something looked odd about this. After a couple moments I spotted the problem. This actually has bow holders installed in the bow holders! How often do you see that in a jeep, other than a perfectly stock show jeep? If those are the original bow holders, then the seller deserves some kind of medal.
“I have a 1947 Willys Cj2a for sale. It has the original 4 cylinder with a 2.5 lift. 33 inch tires and full soft top. I have the overhaul kit for the transfercase and transmission(over 400 dollar value). The syncros are bad but the jeep does drive.”
Bought new by his grandfather, Rich’s CJ-2A is still serves the family.
Rich writes, “The 48 CJ2A was bought new by grandfather. My dad got it in 1956 and I got it in 73. Someday my son will be the owner. Here are a few old pic’s from back in the 50’s . Me and my sister are in a few shots.”
Thanks for sharing Rich!
And the Jeep today:
Paul wrote to say that a friend of his brought this GPW by for a look.
Paul writes, “My friend Lynn stopped by a few days ago to show me his most recently purchased Jeep. It’s a 1943 Ford, in pretty solid shape considering the fact it’s been parked outside under a spruce tree for many years. Lots of spruce needles covering the inside of the tub, the usual rust in the floors along with dents and dings but a pretty darn complete 69 year old Jeep. Also included with this Jeep (but stored in the tow vehicle for the trip home) were both front seats and the folding rear seat. Numerous parts are stamped with the letter F and all three data plates are still attached to the glove box door. Not only did the neighbors come over to eyeball the Jeep when it was parked in front of the house but Lynn mentioned on the way home while stopped in traffic and while in a parking lot folks were wanting to look the Jeep over and some even tried to buy it. Anyway, this old Ford arrived safely at it’s new home where a pressure wash will remove the grime and plant residue and allow a more in depth inspection of this steel soldier.”
Given the wedding theme of the last week, Steve shared the following photo.
Steve writes, “Jumping on the bandwagon of the “Just Married” photo theme, the attached photo is of my honeymoon car that toured Central Oregon in September 1995. I took this today showing how my Jeepster looked the week following my wedding day.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9200.
Looks like a solid GPW.

This sounds like a solid panel wagon, though needs some TLC.

You’ll need a passenger side panel at the very least. This appears to be a mix of parts.

(06/28/2012) The more I looked at the paint job the more I kind of liked it. The steering column is installed pretty low. I imagine you’ll really have to squeeze to get into the driver’s seat.

Ann and I thank everyone for the congratulations and well wishes!! We have been busy cleaning up after the wedding and spending time with my kids, so my eWillys time has been a bit crunched. I’ve got a few updates below.
Here is a pic from the wedding. No, there weren’t any jeeps involved in the wedding, however I did receive an embroidered eWillys hat and Ann an embroidered eWillys purse, so those will make an appearance on here soon.
The wedding was fun. Moments before the ceremony started my parents’ dog Jill realized that there were dogs just across the fence from her, causing her to start a major barking and growling episode. I had to jump into the surrounding bushes and chase her away. That even was quickly followed by a young child throwing up. The parent grabbed the child and rushed to the bathroom. Part way through the crowd, the child threw up again, causing guests to dodge digested matter. What fun would a wedding be without kids and dogs . . .
Don’t forget the FC Get-Together this weekend in Tacoma, WA.
