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 $7500.
Might be a good price.

“First civilian Jeep after WW2. New battery, fuel tank, fuel pump, spark plugs and wires, solenoid, rebuilt starter and carburetor. Starts first spin and 4 cylinder flathead runs like a clock. Brakes, 4WD, clutch and transmission and tires are solid. Ready for the ranch or hunting lease”
Toms shared this nicely restored CJ-3A. My only two very minor quibbles (given the price) is that it is missing the gutter where the hood meets the body, it’s got an incorrect oil bracket for a 3A (again, minor complaints).

“1947 Willys CJ-2A Jeep 4 cylinder Flathead Lots of good parts or restore Rust in front floors Engine seized (I have not tried to free it up) Good rollers that hold air Fairly complete No title $3500 or best offer”
The body is pretty shot, but there could be value here given the half cab (Koenig?).

“I have two jeep trucks, 1947 and a 1948. The 47 is 2wd the other is a half of a 4×4 that still has a motor and transmission.The 2wd one has no motor or transmission, and the frame is bad. Figured we will have them listed until my husband gets around to scrapping them, which will be soon”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(09/19/2023) Floors are patched and drains holes filled.

“Just testing the waters to see if there is any interest in this ole girl. It’s a 1949 Willy’s CJ-2A. She’s a blast to drive and will go anywhere and do anything. I’m open to offers but would also like to see it go to the right hands. Shoot me a message with what you think”
UPDATE: This was first posted October 27, 2016.
This letter by David Mann about why he was buying a new jeep was included in a 1948 book for salesman.
