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 .

“No rust Jeepster. You are considering bidding on a very nice (not perfect) example of an all-American, post-war classic; the Willys Overland Jeepster, from my mother’s hometown, Toledo, Ohio. This was the first, on-road Jeep available, post World War II. This car has the original, four-cylinder, flat head, 62 horsepower, Go-Devil engine. I purchased this vehicle in late Autumn of 2011, as a winter restoration project and it is now complete. I was able to acquire the vehicle at a very reasonable price, which prompted my purchase. The Jeepster was owned by the same family for the past thirty-seven years, however it wasn’t driven often. Consequently, when I acquired the Jeepster, many small (and, some big) things needed attention, simply due to lack of use. The body is very straight and solid. I recently had the fenders and aprons painted gloss black and the Michigan Yellow body color, repainted. All five tires are new. Once the car arrived, I handed the vehicle over to my mechanic and he performed the following work . . .(read the rest on eBay)”
UPDATE: Was $4800. **SOLD**
This looks like a clean build. The front springs are reversed. The rears might be outboarded, but I can’t tell for sure.

“1945 Willys CJ2A. First civilian modle after the war. The body and chassis are OEM. On the body the front fenders are cut to allow for steering and the rear wheel wells tubs are shortened to allow leg room. The body is channeled 5″. The windshield is stock on the bottom and about a foot removed from the top, the pivot glass works, and it’s plastic not glass.
The chassis is lengthened 18″ and a 75 pinto front suspension attached. The cross member is the original cut out of the donor car and welded in and all the rest is stock pinto.
The engine is a Ford 302, I think out of a 78 T-bird, unknown actual miles (I bought it used out of a 27 T sedan), Trans is a C4 with a shift kit. The rear axle is a Ford 9″ from a 62 Galaxy.(it needs a posi to do good burnouts) It does have a burnout valve under the dash.
Steering column is a 63 Pontiac tilt. The brake pedal & master, shifter, parking brake are from the donor car. After market cruise control.
I’ve put 4300 miles on it and have fixed a few things as they showed up, mostly beefing thing up.
It weighs in at 2000 pounds, the engine is stock with dual fours (mostly for looks) home made zoomie headers and it runs very well. I’ve had it to 110 and ran out of cahonies not power. It also has a more conventional exhaust system if it should get ticketed, see pix.
There’s a lot of other small things about the car, to much to cover it all here. If you have questions please ask. If you want to see something specific I’ll send pix of what ever you want. I have pix of most all steps in the build.
This is a Traditional Hot Rod, aka: Rat Rod, no body work, no bondo, rust holes, chipped paint (what there is) and it’s all in flat black
600 miles is the longest road trip I’ve made, it gets about 16 mpg and no issues. Cruise control helps.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500

This is supposed to have an original welding unit. This is rare enough that the M38A1 site doesn’t have a picture of one. There was supposed to be one at the Ponderosa Ranch.

This looks solid, but the front bumper sticks out unusually far. I wonder how those front frame rails are holding up.
“1949 WILLYS CJ2A JEEP, SERIAL NUMBER CJ2A-21584, with overdrive, no rust, all three original seat frames with new covers, original 4 cylinder engine with high output 12 volt starter, 12 volt alternator, holds 50 to 60 lbs. oil pressure at warm idle, 12 volt electrics, turn signal lights, front seat belts, horn button on floor, 12 volt electric Heavy Duty 8000 pound Ramsey winch with new cable and controller, all gauges work, new dual master cylinder giving separate front and rear brakes, transmission/transfercase was rebuilt with super quiet gears, five original 16 inch wheels balanced with like new Michelin recapped mud and snow tires, spare tire is on a rack that is held in a receiver tube, heavy duty front bumper, front tow bar (1-7/8 ball) is removable.
It is ready for the highway or off road trails, that winch should pull it up a tree, transmission/transfercase shifts smooth, quiet and does not jump out of second. 4 wheel drive works great, smooth and quiet.
It’s not perfect, minor scratches and dings, the tailgate is cracked where the spare tire mount was before it was installed in a receiver tube, it is titled (clear), tagged and insured, come and drive it around and see for yourself.”
