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 .

“For sale is a jeep 1952 CJ2A jeep. The body is in pretty bad shape, I would replace the body or you could only use the parts, It comes with both original differentials and twin stick transfercase . The jeep comes without title, $500 without wheels or $750 with Eagle 102 , 15×10 aluminum wheels.”
This might be a good price if completely renovated.

UPDATE: Was $1800. **SOLD**
The body and grille suggest this might actually be a MB/GPW.

(08/09/2011) This has some unusual features, including the cupholders.
“Customized 1947 Willys Jeep CJ2a
This Jeep is sporting a 1963 Chevy II 153 cid four cylinder with a Turbo 350 automatic transmission pushing power through the original T-18 transfer case. Four wheel drive is still operational, drive shafts have been shortened and lengthened as necessary professionally. The car is completely rewired with a Painless harness for an 80’s CJ. Thermostatic electric fan for the cooling system, pertronix ignition system, chrome valve cover, lifter covers, coil, and starter motor.
All of the body seams have been removed, Vega tail lights mounted sideways in the rear, aftermarket reverse lights, polished diamond plate step covers, polished diamond plate panel over steering in front, S-10 rear bumper with ’94 Sububan center insert, power brake booster, cup holders front and rear, later model Jeep seats front and rear with Willy logo stitched in to head rests on front seats, retractable seat belts front and rear, electric wipers left and right, AM/FM CD with MP3 capabilities, one soft top with removable doors and one bimini top, heater and Cadillac horns, they are LOUD!
Bed liner inside the tub, Locar shifter, custom dash with later model Jeep gauges, the gas tank has been moved to the rear with later model Jeep gas hole on the drivers side rear, custom lockable glove box under the drivers seat keyed to the ignition key, sealed from weather so you can keep the registration out of the weather,store the radio face and maybe your walet a lockable storage box under the back seat also keyed with the ignition key, steering is later model Jeep Saginaw with closed knuckle spicer in front, Dana’s front and rear, chrome cover on the front, steering stabilizer and matching shocks, parking brake mounted to the floor between the seats, custom made floor mats front and rear, roll bar with retractable seat belts for the driver and passenger, I have the set up to install the Sirius radio back in this car, I had it taken out a while ago, plugs into the radio already in the car.
Paint is PPG base coat clear coat, very nice finish all of the hardware is stainless, such as the hood hold downs, all of the visible exterior nuts and bolts etc. This car took a best in show at a local car show earlier this year. It is not a trailer queen, it drives and off roads like a Jeep should.There is a crack in the paint on the drivers side about two inches long, paint is five years old and still looks very very good. Crack is not even visible with the soft top installed which is what is normally on this car year round, we found the crack when we installed the bimini in the spring of this year, so not sure how long it’s been there…”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
(04/12/2011) It runs good, but to say this is in good condition seems like a bit of a stretch. The body looks pretty rust based on the pics.
“Runs good, needs a starter though. Frame is solid. Good condition for a 65 year old jeep.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(08/15/2011) Runs and needs work.
“Willys CJ2A, it runs but is a project, a lot of rust, previous owner put in a 6 cylinder ford motor so the firewall has been chopped, I have not driven it in a while but I drove it to where is it parked now.

On Saturday Buz stopped by the Good Guys Hot Rod show at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in North Carolina. He saw some cool vehicles and took some pictures of them for us. Thanks Buz!
Buz reports that the makers of these bags are waiting for approval from Jeep to produce this tool bag. He says everyone there wanted to buy this one prototype.

I think this is a mix of DJ-3A and CJ-2A parts.
“according to the serial number this is a 1946 willys cj2A. It does not have a title so it is for parts only. engine is in it and complete but unknown and some parts are missing but still has tons of useable parts for someone restoring an old willys.Tub is pretty rusted out but grill fenders and other body panels are salvagable.
you must take the whole jeep no cherry picking It does roll freely to tow I just pulled it out and moved it to where it is now.”
It runs and erives.
“Runs well, body rough, frame good. Plow has hydraulic leak. New brakes including master cylinder. Good running gear. I have been plowing with it for the past three years, always starts and runs like a tank. I have a new home with a very short driveway, making a snow-blower a more practical choice. I think this is a great restoration project for someone with the desire and know-how. 562-8858 Ask for Kurt”

A few days ago in Omaha Ann took me to a favorite local chain called PepperJax. Somebody decided to turn the concept of a buritto shop — where the customer moves down from station to station as someone builds their burrito — into a philly steak shop. So, you can get steak over rice, in a sandwich, in a salad, and more. It was quite good, with the bun made fresh minutes before my sandwich was built and piled high with steak.
After devouring my sandwich, I was admiring some of the old pictures hanging on the wall when I spotted this interesting photo. I tried to find more information about it, but the story escaped my searches. A caption underneath the picture states the image was of an Auto Camp taken September 23, 1920 at Elmwood Park in Omaha, Nebraska,. On the car, which appears to sport all metal spoke wheels (or maybe part wood), were the following phrases:
1. ONLY A FORD
2. 25,000 Miles in 1 YR
3. OVER – 11,000 M in 3 months
4. over 5,000 towns and cities
5. ______ OR BUST (I couldn’t make out the first word).
The car is pretty strange. There must be a good story here. Below is the whole picture followed by a closeup of the car.
UPDATE: A reader at Wes’ offroadaction site noted that these are likely pictures of smoke testing rather than chemical testing as claimed by the Tribune. You can view Harold’s response here.
I spotted these pics at the Salt Lake Tribune’s online site. I wish there were more close ups of the equipment.
