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 .
A vintage CJ-2A.

Has an interesting framework in the rear of the jeep.
“1953 Willys Jeep for sale. Includes snow plow and aluminum hard top. Please call for more information.”
This does have a hard-to-find Meyer Super Cab, but outside of that there’s nothing particularly rare here. Looks pretty solid. I’m not sure why there is a red X on the driver’s die where the mirror should be.

Has some updates.
“1949 Willy’s for sale. Chevy 283, with 350 heads (I believe). Runs great! interior has a small tear on left side of the driver’s seat where the side and the top meet. It is covered with black gorilla tape and it works fine, exterior could use new paint, but I get compliments all the time. No idea what the actual mileage is, odometer reads 80,384.
The top is white and is in good shape, except the pull tab on the back window broke off. I use pliers to open and close it, but the top stays down 95% of the time.
This Jeepster comes with all side curtains and a black boot to cover for the top when it’s down. The transmission has been converted to automatic, accessory fan with on/off switch added to cool the motor, was told it has a chrysler front end, and floats a bit when driven, but it’s a 1949! There is some rust inside the wheel well and on the undercarriage. This would be a very simple, resto vehicle.
This is a fun car to own, selling it for family reasons.”

https://nmi.craigslist.org/cto/d/1948-willys-cj2a/6279204986.html
There could be some value here. Has a few upgrades.
“I can show on weekends only. I do enjoy meeting new people from CL, but please be a serious buyer looking for a classic Willys Jeep, as I don’t have spare time to just talk shop these days. Price is OBO.
Original family owned since bought from military surplus in the early 70’s. Converted to off roader in the 70’s.
Jeep Dauntless V6 tuned up and runs perfect
T90 Military transmission just rebuilt
T18 Military transfer case just rebuilt
Exhaust system rebuilt
Retains original Military ordinance plate
Very clean interior
Rancho suspension
Upgraded steering
12 Volt
Stewart Warner gauges all functional
Runs excellent and rides smooth and easy. The body was restored in the 70’s and has had lots of lumps and bruises since then. It’s solid, but if you’re not into the “aged” or “patina” or “surface rust” or “1970’s time-capsule” look, this may not be for you.”

UPDATE: Still Available.
(04/02/2016) Looks like it might be patched don the driver’s side.
“I have owned this 1948 Willy’s Jeep for over 12 years. Over that period of time I have invested in many repairs/upgrades to get it in good mechanically reliable condition. Cosmetically it’s in good shape, though not restored. Some of the repairs/upgrades include; new tires, reupholstered seats, new gas tank, new radiator, brake system rebuild, shock absorbers, new windshield, alternator and many others (I have all the receipts). The vehicle runs great. Also included with the vehicle is a front snow plow — 6 feet wide! There is a hydraulic cylinder mounted to the front bumper to raise/lower the plow. It’s a great vehicle to plow snow — the heater works, too. I also have an original shop manual. The vehicle has a full top and both side doors (though not shown in the photos). All drive modes work; 2WD, 4WD-HI, 4WD-Low.”

I wonder just how many versions of this press photo are out there?
“This is an original press photo. The Postwar Jeep, especially adapted for peacetime work, combines the four basic functions of tractor, light truck, mobile power unit and passenger conveyance. Photo shows the new Jeep, just unveiled to the public by Willys Overland Motors, operating a threshing machine. Among the many and various farm applications of this modern vehicle are: plowing, disking, raking, baling, shelling and grinding corn, operating manure spreader, filling silo and sawing wood. Photo measures 5 x 8.25 inches. Photo is dated 1-11-1946.”

This poor forgotten FC!
“This is a Jeep M677 FC built for the USMC. Supposedly only 1000 of these were built and very few are still in existence. I am unsure of the year. It is not running but the front and rear diff does freely turn and appears to be all original but the engine is not. It appears to be an inline Ford 6 cylinder. Feel free to contact me with any questions.”
