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 is a 1947 Willys CJ2A. It was just rescued out of a collapsing barn. It has been sitting for 25 or more years. The engine is not stuck and the transmission and transfer case shifts. It will need a total restoration. The frame is in good condition as well as all the other under body items. The body has some bad spots like most of these. This is a very good candidate for a restoration and was too good to part out. It is at QTM Parts in Chickamauga, GA.”
Nice looking jeep. No description provided.

“Listing for a friend not on FB. Message me your number and he will contact you ASAP.
1948 Willys CJ2a “Lefty”. They only produced these for a short period in 1948. No one seems to be clear why they machined this version of the 2a with the spare tire on the left. Some say it was Jeep’s way of complying with a law certain states had at the time. Others say it is for agricultural use for state municipalities. This is a rare option that will make you stand apart from the crowd. The small production numbers makes it even more rare. The Jeep isn’t running because of low compression. It has a new fuel, fuel pump, rebuilt carburetor. Brakes will need to be fixed with new master cylinder. Tub has usual floor pan rust”
Runs.

“Solid 1946 Jeep Willy. Runs great for a 74 year old vehicle. Great Willy for a farm,ranch or camp. A true workhorse. Came from rancher in Texas and was used on a cattle farm. Was purchased from the previous owner in Virginia where it was used as a recreation vehicle. Currently used at a kids camp in the Shenandoah Mountains. Runs strong and will turn a lot of heads.. One of the stronger old jeeps that I have seen … a true original with a powerful working winch as a bonus.”
Has some updates, including an f-head. Unusual windshield.

“I have a built trail rig. It’s a 1949 CJ2A that has an upgraded F Head engine, 3 speed with overdrive, internal lockers both axels, hubs on all 4 wheels. It has the PTO but nothing hooked to it. Custom roll bar where all wiring and switches were routed up top. Bikini top, it has a warn 9500lb winch in the pics which I’m keeping however I have a PTO winch if you want to try and mount it and hook it all up. Mounts on the back for gas cans and more. A tough little Jeep that has a lot of life left in her. It will be a great trail or hunting rig. I will consider half cash and half trade.”

“1948 CJ2a Jeep. 3 speed trans, 4 cycle original motor. Good condition mechanically, needs body TLC. no major rust. I have army green spec paint 1 gal for it. Have done much work on it. New battery, oil filter assembly, radiator, gas tank sending unit, thermostat, ignition switch, temp gauge, fuel pump(w/glass dome), water pump. Jeep has 11 dumps instead of 9 inch, better stopping ability, brakes were recently done. New spec steering wheel. No emergency brake though. I have a roll bar for it and the original radiator (no leaks) and parts. Seats are not original but are comfortable. It seems the transmission may have be rebuilt as well as the motor. No smoking on the motor and the trans is solid. I need the room so the jeep has to go.”

I spoke with Calvin about this Jeep. It underwent a frame up refurb with lots of new parts from Ron Fitzpatrick. The paint job was custom done by a local artist and is clear-coated. He’s only selling it because some back surgeries have made riding in it uncomfortable. Contact him via email at lorrainelg @ charter.net (remove spaces around @) or via the phone at 541 772 6089.
