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 .
I suspect someone could use this top.

This continues to be relisted on Craigslist. One person commented that this seller isn’t responding. I asked my Mica friend about this and he thinks he may know the owner.

“1947 Willys Jeep, does not run, it’s been setting for about 22 years.
I have the title. Has a metal bolt on cab. $5000.00 or Best Offer.”
It should hit about 100 degrees today here (which isn’t bad compared to elsewhere in the US), so I’m going to work outside this morning. I will do updates later today.
I read this book over the last two days. I highly recommend it (thanks to Bill for suggesting it). It’s a compelling read about the factors surrounding California’s Camp Fire in 2018, the one that tore through Paradise, California. The author approaches the story from the view of some of the folks who lived through the events, which makes the story that much more effective.
Just a. few updates today. I got to get to painting this morning, as Ann is still suffering through migraines/auras (day 5), so is unable to paint (or do most anything).
Bill shared this video of Nicole Johnson tagging along on a stock flat fender run in Arizona. She does some of the driving, including a little rock climbing, which isn’t easy when you are driving someone else’s vehicle (so kudos to her).
There are a few comments along the way that aren’t quite correct. For example, the CJ-3A did not use the CJ-2A frame, but rather the frame switched near the end of the CJ-2A production into more of what would be a CJ-3A frame (no gussets, under mounted transmission crossmember).
Lubie is selling his 1947 CJ-2A. It’s got a clear title. Email him at lmartintwo @ hotmail.com (remove the spaces around the @ sign).
“I have a 47 CJ2A that is in very rough shape, hasn’t ran in years and needs a lot of work or is a parts donor. I have a clean Texas title. 15” rims and tires (tires are not road/tow worthy_ Buyer will need a trailer / winch or wrecker to pick up – I’m not interested in shipping or trades. No warranty.”
Tom shared this Tux Park. I thought the body looked in great shape (especially in the back), but then I noticed on the driver’s floor what looks like a floor patch.

Maybe someone can use this chassis that Steve spotted?

(11/18/2022) The story is that this was only used from 1946 until 1957, then stored.

This video is from the 2020 Fall Color tour and is narrated by Rick Pewe.
“Day 3 – Colorado Flat Fender Fall Color Tour The group divides for 2 different trails today. Join us as we cruise the Willys Lane on the way to Marshall Pass and we send Liam on an epic shelf road adventure to over 13,000 feet above sea level on Mt. Antero.”
This framed Jeep Gala Map brochure sold for $130 on an online auction (plus an additional $23% buyer premium and whatever shipping cost). I stopped at $50, as the map has a variety of ripples in it.
This Wellingon Jr. stamped lighter sold at auction for $45 on eBay the other day.
UPDATE: Still Available.
(06/26/2022) This has a Beck half cab with the model plate and serial number.

“1947 Willys CJ-2a civilian Jeep. Titled Parts or restorable. 4×4 53,000 plus miles Half metal cab Appears to be complete. Engine turns over. 12v conversion but needs rewiring and a battery. Needs all glass except rear cab. Rear differential is locked up. Front wheels turn free. Drive shafts are disconnected but included. Previously listed with rear PTO. I’m retaining PTO (and drive shaft to PTO) and reducing the price accordingly. Gear box and shifter for PTO remains on the transmission. $2,950 cash only, as-is, you haul.”
The seller doesn’t mention it, but this appears to have a fiberglass body. Has a rear PTO and gearbox.

Given the price, the running engine, and the working plow, this seems worth a look.

Listed as a 1948, this has an earlier grill.
