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 .
This was formerly for sale in Milton. Engine isn’t original.

It’s got tires/wheels, so I’m not sure why it is photographed on the jacks.

“1948 Willys with a Ford V8 312 manual 3 speed on the floor . We just gone all over the brakes it runs and drives . The body is in good condition and comes with a snow plow and 4 wheel drive . This would make a great mountain buggy”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350.
I can’t figure out why the wheel well looks so odd vis-a-vis the far side of the body and it’s downward angle. This might be beyond saving.

“I have a 1948 Willy’s cj2a I am selling. Newly wired turn signals and brake lights as well as newly wired gas gauge. New windshield and glass. New paint and seats out of a newer wrangler.

Original wheels and tires included in purchase. Runs and shifts like it did new. Optimal battery installed last summer. Fun summer vehicle to take to shows but just have other demands.”
John spotted this article on some unusual engine installations! Lawnmower engines in M-38A1s. Were these jeeps at the Great Willys Picnic?
https://jalopnik.com/this-wrenching-genius-installed-lawnmower-engines-into-1835417201
Here’s one example:
FROM THE ARTICLE ON JALOPNIK: The [lawnmower] engine has been mounted onto some sort of platform, which is mounted to the frame. The 670cc unit sends power from its output shaft via two belts to an intermediate jackshaft, which then transfers power via two other belts to pulleys on the input shaft of the original T-90 three-speed manual transmission.
UPDATE: Anyone have an original of this brochure? I’ve got someone who would like a scan of the page showing the woman. The pics below were part of an eBay auction and subsequent post from 2013 (I bid, but didn’t win the brochure).
“original part color catalog , 5.5 x 8 , 16 pages , interesting cartoon type catalog which concerns the word “Jeep” and its use as a registered trademark . Apparently the word “Jeep” was being commonly used generically to describe a Jeep type vehicle and the company thought it important enough to protect their property rights and trademark to produced this interesting catalog . It also lists countries around the world where “Jeep” has been registered .”
I can’t remember if I shared this one or not. So, here we go (possibly again) … This oddity was built from parts left over from projects. The pics were shared on Facebook, but unfortunately I didn’t save the post, so I can’t tell you who built this.

(04/12/2018) Has fiberglass body.
“This is a 1948 CJ2A with a fiberglass body, it has a Three speed with overdrive and a 1967 CJ5 V6. The motor is a 225 dauntless. With the over drive and V6 you can cruise at 60 but drives a bit steadier at 50. Plenty of power. I put new tires, new coil,new shocks and bunch seals and gaskets. I had pulled the motor and transmission to replace gaskets and seals. I still have a few leaks, I have an exhaust leak and some blow by. I also put new drums and pads, replaced the master cylinder and replaced some of the older break lines. It is titled a 1948 and all the parts I ordered came correct. Haveing the overdrive allows you to stay in 2nd in town and the overdrive shifts smooth as silk. Fun to drive I am just thinking of going b ack to two wheels. The speedo cable was broke when I bought it and I replaced it. I have no,idea of the real milage”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(05/15/2019) Body has been removed. Seems like there could be value here.

“Full running drivetrain I took body off to restore it’s not looking good had to much dimond plate you would have to see it.Has best top it’s all there title and all has a winch.”
Maury discovered this instruction manual hidden inside one of his Sears Jeep Parts catalogs. A very useful find!
I snagged this unusual key chain on eBay (thanks Maury). It appears to be from Cuba.
A google search suggests the dealership was active as early as 1955 and as late as 1958. That’s all I could find.
Not much about jeeps, but at least they are in the photos. Still, it’s a heartwarming tale of love. Thanks to Maury for sharing it.
