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 .

I wouldn’t describe this as “an easy project”, but there’s plenty here with which to work.
“this is an extremely rare and desirable cj2a with the “Jeep A Trench” option,it is complete but will need full restoration ,the trencher attachment is in very good condition and seems to have been used very little ,the engine is complete and unaltered ,it does turn nd was running when parked but again this will need to be restored. it also has the rare dual wheel option with reverse disc wheels in the front.this is an easy project wince it is mostly complete , it has sat for many years until a shed deteriorated so it has weathered quite a lot.
I havent the time of funds to restore so am selling to the high bidder ,there is no title but will come with bill of sale.unit must me picked up in ky zip 40051. I will be happy to take any pics or answer any questions .{misfit41@aol.com} 270 272 3660 ,thanks,Tim”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
It appears solid, but i suspect that body is a bit more dented then the pics suggest.
“Nice little Jeep – it has never been registered or titled. Was a farm vehicle. Originally from Texas so body metal is in good shape. I had a plow frame mounted on it but never plowed with it. It also has a tow bar. I have extra parts: steering colum, original seats, military canvas, manuals,etc. The price is $4500 or best offer. I had this at our hunting camp in WI but moved to MA so I realy don’t use it any more. I may consider a trade for a duck hunting/fishing boat or a street bike.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Can’t tell much from the pic.
“1947 Willy’s CJ2 Jeep, Clean body, Original running gear except, Motor converted to 1980 Chevy 229 V6. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was no price.
(04/06/09) This might be it good shape. The rims/hubcaps aren’t easy to find.
“I have a 1948 Willy’s jeep. It has all the original metal body parts and there is no dents or rust. The body is in great shape, interior is also in very good condition, good motor and transmission and transfer case.”

There were some CJ-2As in the Navy as I understand it. However, I’d want to see some kind of plate or ID that verifies this.
“Fully restored 1947 Willys Jeep. This is a CJ2A Military Jeep (Navy surplus) with the original rebuilt 4 cylinder engine. It has been recently restored but has been stored in a garage for at least 30 years and has never had a rust problem.”
This sounds worth a look.
“Everything is original including tan paint and orange rims with black stripes. Canvas top and doors show wear. Body is reasonable with some rust. Needs fuel pump, brake job, etc. Has a new gas tank. Power takeoff (PTO), tow bar and front weights. Column shift, 2 lower speeds (over & under). 4 cylinders. Runs but not drivable on public roads. All serial numbers match. Service manual.
