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 .

“1947 Willys Jeep, restored, new engine, red with new black top, new interior.(304)645-5064”
http://blacksburg.craigslist.org/cto/2780383591.html
It looks solid and nearly original.
“Very solid ole’ Willys Jeep made in 1947, was redone a little over 5 years ago, garage kept, rust free. The Engine and transmission all work great, although the transmission does leak a little, it needs a new seal, the clutch is working very well. Brakes are spongy and could use a little work, prolly adding brake fluid would do the trick. Runs down the road smooth and is road legal, I have a clear title for this jeep as well. The jeep has 16″ NDT military tires, and the roll bar is bolted on, so if you do not want that you can get rid of it by unbolting it. I have the original rods and a bikini top for it, or I have a aftermarket snap on cover that can be used as well, all included with the jeep. If you have any questions just email me plus I have more pics of the jeep if you need them.”

“Title in my name. Runs good, drives down the road good, everything works. Transfer case is a little noisy but still works fine. Pretty solid old jeep. Good seats. Body has minor dents and dings from the many years on the deer lease. Has had some rust repair on the floors. The previous owner did a good job fixing the floors. Has a metal top that you can take off but no doors. The spare tire rack on the back and the rear mirror does not go with the jeep as it belongs to my other jeep. This jeep is all original and would make an excellent candidate for a restore. If you are interested call 214-728-6369 or email./text. I would also consider a trade for something that is more driveable such as a short bed truck or american made car. Bobby”
http://dallas.craigslist.org/mdf/cto/2750670115.html
UPDATE: Sold for $6100 on eBay
The serial number is 13359.
“The Jeep starts and drives, but I am assuming that after 65 years it might need to be rebuilt or maybe not. there is not much rust on the body, the under carrige has been repaired in the past and will need to be repaired correctly if your looking for a perfect example of a Jeep. It has the original Plow and Winch. Plow works perfectly and so does the winch. Its all original. The floors look to have been rusted and patched a long time ago. The Top is perfect, and so are the seats, I can send more detailed pictures to any buyer via e-mail upon request. Also the transmission is not an automatic its a 3 speed manual on the column.”

“hasnt ran since last year no title 608 697 2361”
http://madison.craigslist.org/rvs/2754784206.html
The body is in poor condition.
“Hi, This is a 1949 Willys Jeep CJ2 (a)? It has between 75 and 76000 miles. It is in running condition and seems to run fairly well but does smoke. The tires are very good. The frame seems to be solid what I saw but has surface rust. The body is not in the greatest condition. It looks like a previous owner may have done some restoration work since it does have body filler on the body. The fuel tank has been cleaned and coated on the inside. The 4×4 works as well. I did some work on the brakes and they work but think there may be air in the lines since they have to be pumped several times before they work. This also comes with an aluminum top. If you have any questions feel free to call. thanks”
