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 $2300.
(05/02/2022) This has some interesting mods.

“302 Ford T18 truck transmission Spicer twin stick T18 Transfer case Custom Landrover Frame and axles Power leather seats Roll cage Custom aluminum fuel tank This is a project car needs some fresh energy to finish. I’m looking for space in my garage.”
Chris shared this article from September 09, 1954, about jeeping in Virginia. The article’s page was rolled a bit when scanned, so the title isn’t completely clear, but I believe the headline should be “Jeep Jaunts Over Rugged Mountain Trails is Now Popular Sport in Gap”. Thankfully, better pics from this article were posted to Facebook.
Artist Roni Santiago created this illustration as a comment to the Philippine phase-out of the Jeepneys (posted by Mario to FB). It seems to be a riff off the Bill Mauldin illustration of the solider with a gun pointed at a tired old jeep.
Bill Mauldin’s famous illustration (as reprinted on the cover of the Nov 1992 Smithsonian):
And as seen in a sculpture at the Shidoni Gallery near Sante Fe:
If this runs and drives, it could be worth a look.

“I’m selling this Jeep for my dad, it’s a 1951 cj3a… The truck is a frame off restoration has 1 mile on it, motor has been rebuilt, Tranny, rear ends, all the wiring gauges, even the steering wheels been refinished, it’s four-wheel-drive, truck is completely brand new, needs minor work to complete, for more information please contact my dad at [hidden information] his name is Anthony, it will be a fun vehicle for whoever buys it this summer”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
This looks solid.
“Rare 1952 jeep Willy’s ground up restoration runs and drives also has plow 4cylinder 3speed new roof no rust new price this is a great buy”
The body has had some bodywork, but is supposed to run. It has a Ford GPW block that was rebuilt in Germany.

“1948 Willys CJ2A, powered by a “Go Devil” L134 4 cylinder flathead engine. 3speed T90 transmission and Dana 18 transfer case. Jeep runs and drives good, shifts through all the gears and 4wd works in high and low range. The brake shoes and wheel cylinders were recently replaced, including the brake shoes on the back of the transfer case. Complete new exhaust from the manifold back.
There is evidence the jeep has had body work during its lifetime, the body is very solid with no major rust. In my opinion the jeep has a killer look and I would run it as is. Tires all hold air, due to age and sidewall cracking I would replace them before running this any distance in the road.
According to the data tag on the side of the engine it was rebuilt at Karlsfeld Ordnance Depot outside Munich Germany in 1953. The engine runs extremely well and has the best oil pressure I have seen on a L134. The block I’m told is a late WWII block and has a Ford GPW head on it. Priced below market value at $9,500”
Seems worth a look.

“1953 Willys CJ3B – Just replaced engine, transmissions, transfercase, new exhaust system, all new brake system, and more. Runs and drives. Original condition, but needs more work.”
This early CJ-5 includes a plow. It may be worth a look.

“Vintage jeep with plow, don’t know the year, milage or model number, last ran five years ago. Sold as is you pick it up.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
Tom shared this ad. These are rougher than they appear from the front.
My husband has 2 FC150’s Jeep trucks that are in rough shape. They do have some decent parts that can be salvaged. Make an offer! We are located in NORTHEAST OHIO. Not sure of mileage or exact year. Make an offer on both—lots of salvageable parts!”
The rear wheel wells have been cut (to push seats back farther) and their are a large number of bolts through the passenger side of the body (why??), so it’s hard to say for sure how much value is here, but I suspect this body is savable. I’ve saved worse. Thanks to Mike for spotting it.

Cons: Needs new floor. You can buy a completely new tub easily and have a perfect jeep. No fuel tank, no floor, no seats.”

(06/28/2022) It runs and drives.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1005435990139517
“Runs and drives well. Does over 50mph. The previous owner had this a long time and did many modifications. It has a Dana 44 narrow track rear axle. I believe the front is upgraded also. Saginaw steering setup. The motor is an early 70s 2.0 Ford. The floor has been patched numerous times. Either way it’s a drivable 2a with paperwork and I’m firm on the price. Original vin tag on firewall, current RI registration in my name”
UPDATE: Still Available (or being relisted by another owner .. pics from a 2020 ad).

“1954 Jeep CJ5 pickup, Toyota 22R drive train with 5 speed, power steering and 4 wheel power brakes, 4 link rear, adjustable coil over shocks, removable hard top,leather seats.”
Bill shared this article about a Virginia chicken coop that housed a variety of vehicles, including a CJ-2A. Apparently, most of the vehicles (included the 2A?) are for sale.
This 1963 ad by Masonite planned to award a 1963 Jeep Wagoneer as the grand prize as part of a drawing. To enter, contestants had to go to fill out an entry form describing five ways to use Masonite hardboard products. Unfortunately, I could not determine who won the jeep.

This ad for the contest appeared in the July 04, 1963, issue of the Brockway Record out of Pennsylvania:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8750.
Not quite all original, as it has some extras. Still, a pretty stock 2A for the Northwest.
