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 has a Porter & Reed hardtop. It’s supposed to run.

“Bought off Bring a Trailer for $11k over a year ago and was told it was in perfect shape, guess what and no surprise, that good old boy from Virginia lied through his teeth!!!
Anyways, I’ve had several Jeeps and this one has one of the nicest rust-free bodies, as well as complete and original gauges, E-Brake Handle, Seats, Motor and Trans. The engine has been completely rebuilt by a top shelf mechanic that works on my entire collection of rare and High cars such as Porsches, Mercedes, and muscle cars. I bought this as a beach cruiser, around, town summer fun car…

“1948 CJ2A parts donor for sale or trade. $800 or trade takes it all. No motor or radiator. Open to trades.”
This CJ-2A may have been a column shift. It appears the gear shift sits back where the PTO shifter generally is.

Listed as a 1944, it might be a CJ body on an MB chassis, but hard to tell from these pics.

“For sale is a 1948 willys CJ2a
Engine cranks over but doesn’t start.
It has a swapped Buick 225 v6 / ST 300 auto transmission. They were mated but were separated for installation. Has single barrel carbon and HEI distributor
The frame is absolutely 100% solid. The body needs a few exterior patches but still solid. Comes with rare, flanged center output Dana 44 and front dana 27 axles

The solid-letter Desert Dogs are in surprisingly good shape. I’d guess they are roughly at about 50% tread life.

“Partly restored 31×10 tires 134 L Head Go Devil. Rebuilt 4 cylinder”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6500.
(02/11/2022) The half-top looks refurbed/customized and the roof of this half-cab extends a little too far over the front. It seems that would be a big wind catcher at any decent rate of speed.

“If I sell it, I will take the ad down. I am dropping the price to $1,500 and I won’t go any lower. Someone come pick it up.
1948 Willys Jeep. This jeep is all original and has been sitting for over 10 years. It does not run. It needs a lot of work but the body is in good shape. It does have some rust in spots especially the floor boards and tailgate. I know it needs a new fuel tank and all new fluids. I installed new 31×10.50 bf Goodrich all terrain tires on it 2 months ago. I would love to fix it up as planned but just don’t have the time anymore. I need it gone asap. Make me an offer. Asking $2,500 obo. NO TITLE! I do have the original VIN tag and it will come with a bill of sale.”
