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: **SOLD** Was $600.
Bill shared this funky old trailer. Might be perfect for someone.
“Vintage 1955 “Aristocrat” utility trailer. Similar to the Willys Jeep “Bantam” trailers. Bed is in very good condition and it has a nice working tailgate. Has good tires and a Nevada title as well.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500.
(07/18/2017) It’s a project.
“1946 CJ2A Willys. Chevy 327 engine, double hump aluminum heads, custom crank, 6″ Holley carburetor, Muncie 4 speed transmission, Mustang Mach 1 seats. This was my husband’s pet project. He has passed and this vehicle is looking for a good home. Engine was running 4 years ago. I have the original pink slip.”

White Automotive was based out of Colorado Springs, Colorado. The company sold different types of soft tops for a wide range of jeeps. They also sold tire covers, half-doors, spare-tire carriers, and other items. The brochures below are currently on eBay. The company also used the brand name Whitco and/or White Mfg. at times.

This still has the column shift and a rear PTO. There’s a little patching on the driver’s side.
“CJ2A with working PTO, column shift, rebuild trans, soft top, spare tire rack and extra rims! Runs great!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,000.
“Velma” looks in good shape.
“MUST SELL AND MAKE ROOM IN GARAGE
Meet Velma! She is 70 years old! Just needs paint… although I love her primer color!!!
Purchased this beauty in the spring of 2016!
3 on tree. One taillight. No blinkers. Wipers. Most gauges inside work. She is easy to drive… I just do not use her enough to keep in storage.
Bamboo thatched roof, entire interior restored, and cedar interior. Original jeep parts, just completed entire engine with original Willy parts, have mechanic / receipts to vouch. She is ready for someone to show her off.
$12,000 is price to buy. Purchased a year and a half ago for $6,500 and rebuilt engine to Willy Jeep specs which cost over $5,000!
This car can be viewed at Automotive Authorities in Longmont, CO. These amazing master mechanics are Velma’s mechanic and are very fond of this vehicle. They are happy to answer any questions you might have and/or explain to you anything in regards to her engine.”
Might be a combination of 2A and MB parts. It’s got an engine issue.
“I have an old Jeep that is titled as a 1943. Although could be a cj 2. with the L-134 engine. Converted to 12 v, I put a new voltage regulator on it and the electronics are good, Starts right up and drives. Has Overdrive added as well and it does work. Title in hand.
I was going to use it as a desert toy for my girlfriend and I but in the end it is a little too primitive for what I had in mind. Has nice full back aftermarket seats, and a nice top.Comes with Dick Cepek spoke wheels with good tires on them, at least 80% tread left on them. Runs and drives but will need tail pipe added at some point. Gas tank has been moved to the rear. Will throw in new hydraulic jack and lug wrench as well.
Willing to listen to trade offers of equal value. Would like a newer jeep pre 1975.
The jeep runs and drives but after 15-20 minutes the engine loses power, Not sure what issue is, Being sold as “Project” as it sits. Currently i couldn’t sell it as a driver until the engine has been gone over.”

Maybe someone needs a project or some parts?
https://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/d/1948-willys-jeepster/6331484429.html
“This is a project Jeepster. Make it into a hot rod, Rat rod or Restore it, you chose. Has rear seat cushions, no front seats. Front floor and transmission tunnel needs to be replaced/repaired. Dash has been modified but I have one to replace the instrument cluster area. Grill has not been modified and in excellent condition. Hood and front window frame in good condition.

It you haven’t read it already, check out Traci Clark’s Stude-A-Willys article over at the Four Wheeler Network. It’s nice piece about a CJ-2A powered by a Model 6-170 Champion Studebaker engine. The roller-chain PTO is pretty interesting, too!

I stumbled upon some more Worman brochures in my archives. I’d meant to include these in my Dispatcher article, but my not so organized organizational methods thwarted my best intentions. These are from either 1947 or 1948. It’s possible that these tops still exist, but are easily mistaken for the later Sears tops (at least, i could have easily made the mistake).
