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 .
Listed as a 1952, this looks to be an early CJ-2A.

Equipped With The Dauntless V6 Engine Made By Buick. Not The Original Engine But Was A Popular Replacement With More Power. I Purchased This Jeep As Is From The Previous Owner Who Stated It Runs Great But Needs Brakes. I Haven’t Tested Any Components But The Engine Does Roll Over By Hand. There Is Not A Title But They Are Simple To Obtain If Wanted For Road Use. You Don’t See Them In This Good Of Shape Often. This Unit Is Worth Substantially More Completed.”
Thanks to Geoff for spotting this one. It could be a good price!

“This was my “Covid Lockdown” project. Purchased partially restored from an estate. It was built with parts from a ’46 and ’48 and is registered and licensed as a “48. The engine is the L-134 “Go Devil”, and the engine serial number indicates a manufacture date of 1944. The engine appears to be a recent rebuild that runs strong, with no leaks or smoke. I had the transmission and transfer case professionally rebuilt. I replaced the springs and shocks and went back to “military style” tires. Exhaust system, radiator, carburetor, fuel pump and fuel tank are all new. New paint inside and out. New weatherstrip around windshield and frame. Added electric wipers and seat belts. The top is in good condition, and comes with a brand new, still in the box replacement canvas. Brakes and clutch are in good condition. All receipts available for inspection. I took this up into the Colorado Rockies for a test run and it ran like a champ. Now that the project is done, I’m ready to let someone else enjoy this classic Jeep.”

(01/12/2024) The red CJ-2A looks in reasonable shape. Note the hubs on the blue jeep (last pic). I thought those might be McCain hubs, but they are not.

“1947 Jeep willy has good paint great tires no rust under belly has a soft top to keep the wind out it’s a great piece of history and is an eye catcher one of the only cars that has 4×4 . CONS: does need some work it’s fires up and runs just the carburetor needs to be cleaned up and breaks need a new master cylinder which I have brand new in the box along with new wheel cylinder.”
This solid looking 2A with updates has a replacement body. The tank has been moved into the back with a filler tube through the tailgate (I presume the tailgate no longer functions).
