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: **SOLD** Was No Price.

“1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A
This Willys is setting on an original L134 drive train. It has been lifted and has P225/75R-15 tires in good condition (no spare). The Jeep runs and moves down the road, even the brakes work, but it still has repair issues. This is a project Jeep. It would make an excellent addition to a hunting lease or ranch/farm.
The body is in servicable condition. The front fenders and body have some rust-through but are still solid. It has been chopped up a bit by previous owners. It’s a Colorado Jeep so rust is minimal.
The engine runs strong with no smoking. It has a new 12V starter, new fuel pump, new fuel filter and new Solex carburetor. The distributor has been replaced recently by a previous owner. The drive train has also been worked on recently, the transmission and transfer case and drive shafts appear rebuilt, and a heavy duty shackle lift has been installed. Lock-out hubs are installed but are mismatched.
Electrical system is serviceable. All gauges appeared to work except the temperature. The speedometer is not hooked up.
The tow bar is substantial and has a built-in storage box between the frame rails. There’s also twin 2-liter jerry cans that mount on the tow bar.
The soft top is in good condition. There is a full-cage roll bar installed.
Repair issues:
1. The ignition key is lost. A replacement ignition is included.
2. The fuel tank needs to be flushed or replaced. Which requires removing the seats, which is…
3. Someone installed over-stuffed sedan seats and a small diameter steering wheel. The problem is the home-built seat frames have been welded to the body. You have to chop out the drivers seat in order to get the fuel tank out. It needs different seating anyway.
4. Needs choke and throttle cables installed (included).
5. Ross steering box needs to be rebuilt or replaced. Which means getting the steering wheel off. I was afraid to look at that. The Willys steers okay for off-road use, it just won’t last too long. I will even throw in a used replacement.
6. Front shocks need to be installed (included).
7. Skid plate is missing.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $850.
