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 CJ2A – Fiberglass Tub, Hood & Fenders $8,000 boo

It has a whole bunch of aftermarket parts including a fiberglass tub, hood and fenders on an original Willys frame with an original grill and a CJ3A windshield frame. The Jeep has Warn premium Lockout hubs all the way around and a tow bar which enable it to be flat towed. Why buy a Rubicon or a TJ when you can have the original for a fraction of the cost. There is no doubt about it. This rig is bad@ss.

“1948 Willys Jeep CJ-2a

New exhaust, exhaust manifold, tail pipe, muffler, fan belt, and wiring under hood. Motor has great compression. Runs great. Body has been redone to remove all rust and replaced with new metal. Lights, horn, heater all work great. New paint job is the new Wrangler Jeep’s Rescue Green. I have title. All running gear is original.
Great little jeep for driving around town and catching everyone’s eye or driving back into woods to get your deer.”
UPDATE: Price dropped a few dollars.
(12/09/2013) Looks like a good price.
“I am selling my toy. It is a vintage 1949 Willys Jeep it is the CJ3A. It runs great and drives good. I took it for drives almost every weekend this last summer and it sure gets some looks. Four wheel drive works fine.
This Jeep would be a great candidate to bring it back to original or to just have a toy for slow cruising in.
Has the newer and better Willys F4-134 Hurricane 4 cylinder engine. I put a brand new starter, fuel pump and gas tank in it. The body needs to be painted and has some rust/dings, but nothing that could not be fixed. When they put the Hurricane engine in they fabricated a cheesy hood scoop that I had planned on replacing.
Has the drivers and passengers seats and I have a wood bench seat for the back.
These old jeeps are getting harder to find and there are many on Craigslist that are in much worse shape that are for sell for a lot more.
Thanks for your time.
Call or text me at 406-207-4520. I might consider cash and a trade.”
