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 militarized CJ-2A has disc brakes on all four wheels. This looks pretty solid.

“I did upgrade the brakes to all four disk brakes and change the 6 volt system to a 12 volt system. Other than those two items it is original.”

(05/06/2018) Army restored? Nope. Period correct? Nope. All Original? Nope. That’s three strikes!
“Army jeep restored period correct all original”
This military tribute CJ has some updates.
https://tulsa.craigslist.org/cto/d/1946-willys-jeep-cj2a/6613356814.html

This might have some Allstate hubs.
“Well folks, the time has come, gonna let go of one of my toys. I just ain’t got the time no more, hasn’t been used in two years or more. It is a 1948 Willy’s Jeep. It is a CJ-2 so don’t let the paint job fool ya, although there are only cosmetic differences between the CJ (civilian market) and the MB (military market), it is not actually a military Jeep. Though the original in-line 4 cylinder “Go Devil” motor and running gears are all basically the same as the military version. It don’t go fast (top end of about 52 mph) but it goes like a goat in the rough stuff. These pictures are to let ya see what it is. It is not a museum piece, it does have some rusty spots that could be dressed up.
This is a real nice useable toy that I had a blast with. It is a licensable vehicle, which means you can run up and down fire trails or forestry roads without worrying about Mr. Forestry man raising hell, or taking your ride like a four wheeler or Razor. This jeep also comes with a Roll Bar, a 10,000 lb electric winch that is set up to work from the front or back while operated from the divers seat, a tow bar (very easy to tow) so you can get it to your favorite riding location faster than driving it there. And 2 manuals 1) Repair & 1) Master Parts List. In hand title, so first $5,200.00 takes it home. Or make me a reasonable offer, but please don’t waste either of our times by trying to low ball it. Come get a real piece of Americana”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,000.
Probably a 3A with a 2A windshield.
“Starts and runs great, new tires and goodies added over last 3 months, spent around $7000 fixing up. Fun and head turner. $12000 OBO.”
UPDATE: Still Available.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/778916308966804
Works for parades. A few years ago a buyer could get a nice MB or GPW for this price.
“This ARMY JEEP runs and drives. It is equipped for use, as if it was on active duty.”
https://shoals.craigslist.org/ctd/d/1948-cj-2a-army-jeep-stk-1512/6482302000.html
Looks solid; not sure why it was militarized.

https://waco.craigslist.org/cto/d/1955-willys-cj3b/6491398394.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** was $7500.
Looks like a good parade jeep.
“eep runs and drives and is great for running to the store or driving in a parade. It has new brakes and starts every time. The jeep has working blinkers, seat belts, brake lights, headlights, and a horn. It is street legal and has a clean Kansas title.
Solid body without any active rust areas to speak off. 4×4 works. Gauges work. Tires hold air. Black vinyl seats are very comfortable with springs.
The transmission DOES grind when shifting from third to second about half the time. Sometimes it doesn’t and others times it does. The jeep still drives fine. Forums say the synchronizers need replaced, but not sure.
It does have oil leaks that I heard are normal on these jeeps.
Fun jeep at a reasonable price to still do repairs if you choose, or just drive it as is. Get ready for Spring parades!”
This was the seller’s father’s jeep and he admits he doesn’t know a lot about it. Seller seems convinced it’s a WWII jeep. It is a nice example of an early 2A jeep, though strangely it doesn’t have tool indents (#24566)
“Now is your chance to finally own a World War 2 Army Jeep! A great addition to any collection, this one was used by a VIP at the Estrella Warbird Museum in Paso Robles, CA until my Dad bought it 6 years ago. What makes this Jeep different is that it has a working siren and flashing amber light in the rear – great for parades and car shows. It also has a column shifter which is rare on these models.
Here is what else it has:
• Period correct WWII patinaed paint, canvas top and upholstery.
• Period correct tires.
• Appears to be original body, hood, floors – oh, the stories they could tell.
• Oil pan with skid plate.
• Authentic M-1 rifle holder with reproduction rifle.
• Shovel, axe, jerry can, portable water canteen and a mortar canister (just in case).
• Hand grenade shift knob.
• New brakes, drums and brake lines.
• New carburetor, battery and shocks.
• Lockable storage compartment under passenger seat.
• CA registered 1946 license plate.
• Runs and drives great. Gauges work, lights works, hubs lock.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to see the car. The car is located in Whittier, CA and is listed for sale locally so we reserve the right to sell it prior to the auction ending. This is a used car sold as is and where is and as such there are no warranties expressed or implied. You are encouraged to inspect the car in person or hire a service prior to buying it. This was my Dad’s car and he passed away so I am only telling you the information to the best of my knowledge.”

For the quality of the rebuild, I don’t understand why this was militarized??
“I HAVE A SUPER CLEAN WILLY’S. WAS RESTORED APOX THREE YEARS AGO. THE BODY IS RUST FREE AS IS THE FRAME. HAS CENTER LINE TIRES. IT HAS XXX577 MILES ON IT. HAVE THE ORIGINAL GAS CANTEEN FOR IT. IT HAS A THREE SPEED TRANSMISSION, RUN AND DRIVES LIKE A DREAM! THIS IS A MUST SEE!!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $14,500.
This is a militarized CJ-3A.
“Starts and runs great, new tires and goodies added over last 3 months, spent around $7000 fixing up. Fun and head turner. $14,500 OBO. Maybe trade?”
This militarized CJ-6 looks in good shape.

Craig shared this ad. Needs a gas tank, but would make for an affordable parade/around-town jeep.
