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 .
Could be worth a look.

“Here is a classy Jeep from the past. This Jeep is in good condition for its age. Pretty much a “barn find”, and was on a family farm from 1960-2014. Original 6v system, new battery, plugs wires, and rebuilt starter. Good compression on the cylinders, Turns, over fine, one problem is the distributor has rusted to the block and timing is off. Once the distributor is free the timing can be set correctly. The rebuilds and new items I will mention were done a year prior to my acquisition in 2015 by the previous owner. Some of the items that he did are as follows: New Battery tray; new spare tire, rim and bracket to the frame pads; and new shift lever boots. Brakes have been rebuilt with master cylinder and new brake lines(they definitely need to be bled); new steel gas tank; new side mirror; new front floor plan, new front seat frames and vinyl seat cushions; new steering gear and shaft; new non-directional military tires and tubes; rebuilt generator; re-cored radiator; replacement windshield glass and frame; exhaust system approximately five years old;
New handbrake cable; new choke and throttle cable; new inner windshield rubber & windshields to cowl rubber.
New and original extra parts include: 6v distributor; L&S PTO C-10002; 640603 Drum pulley unit; 6v Harrison heater H-441-48; Pierce governor with mounting brackets; original grill screen; original wheel drum puller from Willys repair shop; original single-hand windshield wiper (needs rubber) All gauges and lights work. Has original oil bath breather, tool box has no rust.”
Could use some larger pics, but appears solid. Has f-head.
“I have a 1948 Willys Overland CJ -2A for sale.

The sellers of this jeep are very interested in seeing it go to someone who will restore it. It’s got a rare Boston Top that’s in good condition. Contact Mark Pinel at (970) 201-7673 or MarkandLisaPinel@gmail.com if interested.
“It is partially restored (Brakes, Suspension, Seats Re-upolstered), 33,618 original miles. My Dad bought it brand new Dec. 13, 1947 and I have the original bill of sale. It starts easily and holds excellent oil pressure, never had the head off but is in need of carb re-build. I have all the original equipment including governor, PTO, all seats and original aluminum removable hard top with exception of the snow plow. I also have a wide array of spare parts including color-coded cloth wireing harness, vacuum and electric WW motors, ignition parts, complete exhaust system, etc, everything that one would need to put it into first order condition. But it needs to go to a legitimate restorer who can do it right. The engine & VIN numbers on the Bill of Sale match the Jeep and data tags.
Starts easily but the carbureator needs a rebuild as the jets are so clogged up it needs nearly full choke to run. Among the spare parts is a rebuild kit or two for the carb. The transmission shifts well as does the transfer case and the PTO case. The speedometer cable broke during the last few years my Dad had the Jeep but he only was using it around their home, it was not even registered so no meaningful miles since. I have a replacement speedometer cable. The mileage is shown on one of the photos as 33,618.
Body probably has some filler.

“Original CJ2A
Rebuilt motor
runs drives and stops”
https://greenbay.craigslist.org/cto/6147177827.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,500.
(11/14/2016) Looks good. Drain holes have been filled.
“Frame off restoration to near original condition. Rebuilt original engine, transmission, transfer case, starter, and carburetor. New wiring (old style), springs, shocks, clutch, tires, gas and brake lines, and more. Converted to 12v but, looks like original 6v system. Numbers matching, everything redone NOS. Runs and drives great.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2400.
(04/25/2017) Has a rear PTO. Needs some works, but runs and drives.
“Early production (or so I am told) CJ2A Jeep, has a power take off (PTO) on it too! 3 speed stick, 4 wheel drive hi/low range. It runs! It drives! It stops! That is about it though… It carries heavy “patina” on the body/tub which is to say it is very rusty-you can see the ground through the floor… Could be the basis for some sort of crawler project. Certainly could be restored as it appears that any part you want is available either used or new /reproduction, even complete bodies can be had. Depends on how much money you want to spend. I have done the following: new soft brake lines, new master cylinder, new wheel cylinders, new radiator hoses, thermostat, radiator cap, spark plug wires. It is not street legal at this time primarily because none of the lights work. With some brake lights and new tires you could drive it as it is I think. If you want something to bomb around on your own property you wouldn’t have to do a thing. One should not think about trying to drive it home in it’s current state, should be trailered. Comes with two extra sets of axles/differentials and a set of extra leaf springs too. I have the original selectmatic locking hubs and it has vintage Warn locking hubs on it now.’
