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 .
It looks like a parts jeep.

This has some unusual patches on the back of the body. I assume they are hiding damage or other holes.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $4500
(04/12/2011) This looks in good condition. It even comes with a horse sticker on the side. I can’t tell if this is a VEC or not. Even for Oahu, the mileage seems low.

The has the rear PTO.
“This Jeep is in almost original condition. It was on a farm in Nebraska since new in 1947 until 2003. We are the third owner. It has the original engine, expertly rebuilt, and all parts, including a rare “power take off” (PTO) on the rear which still works well. Original paint scheme of Americar Black with Harvard Red Wheels. I added the new soft top, and had the original 6 volt system converted to 12 volt for better starting and running. It has the new 12 v system, rebuilt clutch, new generator, new carburetor, new fuel pump, new 12 v battery, new tires, new trailer hitch and 4-pin wiring, and used rear seat. Runs well–the engine and transmission are very strong, and it will “climb a tree.” Minimal rust–when the body is repainted, it will be outstanding”
This looks good from afar.
“1947 Willys CJ-2A for sale. This jeep is 95% original with an original L134 Hurricane motor. It has a solid frame with all new gas tank, fuel lines, fuel pump and filter, brakes, brake lines, spark plugs, and tires. Electrical has been converted from 6-volt to 12-volt. The body needs some work. It runs great but there is a bad throw out bearing in the clutch which causes the clutch to squeal. This would be the perfect vehicle for a jeep lover or someone who likes to restore vehicles to their original condition. $3000 is firm.”

“1948 Willys Jeep, restored, looks great & runs good! Also have 2nd ’48 Jeep for parts for $800.”
This looks really nice. I’m guessing the rear of the body has been patched; if so, it looks like it was done nicely.

This body has seen some repairs. That’s a serious cage, too.
“1947 Willy’s Jeep CJ-2 with Buick V-6. Holley Carb. Offenhauser dual port intake manifold, headers, brand new exhaust, electronic ignition, original 3 speed transmission and transfer case all works great. Power steering, new brakes and wheel cylinders, could use a rebuilt master cylinder and ball joints but runs and drives strong. 4 wheels like a beast.”
