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 .
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5000.

“1948 Jeep Willys. Body restored and painted. Needs engine. Great project car. $1800 OBO- Make us an offer. Willing to negotiate.”
UPDATE: Was $4200. **SOLD**
(06/28/2013) This looks pretty straight. It’s not entirely stock.
“Current registration and insurance, clear title in hand.
Body- Dented, rusty, some minor repairs done by prior owner. It is very useable as is, actually better than most project jeeps I looked at before buying this one, but needs work to be perfect. Some of the hat channels underneath are rusted and need repaired. This is actually very solid, just want you to know what to expect.
Frame- Solid, no major issues or rust that I have found.
Engine- GPW (ford) 4cyl engine. (this is the military version of the stock motor= not the factory original engine). The GPW is a nice addition depending on your plans, as it it worth more than the stock motor as many people restoring military jeeps would like to have the original style motor. Engine runs good overall, but the exhaust needs to be removed and the heat exchanger flap freed up. This is the flap that re-circulated exhaust air around the intake when the engine is cold to make it run better. It is common for these to seize up and cause the exhaust air to always heat the intake. This causes the gas to get hot in the carb and flood the engine. I had this freed up last year, but it sat over winter and is stuck again. Radiator was rebuilt last year, like new.
UPDATE; **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This builder of this nice looking jeep never got a chance to enjoy it much. The body looks M-38.
“1948 Willy’s Overland Jeep CJ2A. This vehicle was left to my wife after her father passed away and I will describe it and answer questions to the best of my ability. All steel body professionally painted in real John Deere green and yellow, paint is new, original flat head four cylinder motor and overdrive transmission (which I’m told is very hard to find). Steering has been upgraded, brake master cylinder has been upgraded to a dual reservoir, all wiring is new, all brakes are new, brand new super lift soft ride lift kit, brand new shocks, brand new wheels and BFG tires, brand new swing out tire carrier with hitch, brand new upgraded plastic gas tank, LED tail lights, heavy duty front bumper with 8000lb winch, tow bar and mounts, flaming river SS tilt steering column, bucket seats with harnesses in the front, original Jeep rear seat (I’m told these are hard to find also), full roll bar, bimini top, warn brass hubs, optima battery, custom billet rear view mirror and roll bar mounts. He bought the speedometer used and it say 9K on it but the Jeep has less then 50 miles on it since complete rebuild, my father-in-law finished this build and unfortunately got sick and passed away before he could enjoy it. It has been stored in my shop ever since and I start it up once a week and let it idle for an hour or so. I have listed the details the best I can, I have not driven it besides in and out of my shop and around the yard but he drove it around the neighbor once a week. I am sure I am missing some details so please ask and I will do my best to answer.”
The ‘original tires’ aren’t necessarily ‘correct’, but definitely have value.
