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**
There might be something useful here.

“This jeep might be a M38 vin-ed as a cj2a, Im not an expert with these so it could be a late military jeep or the first civilian jeep made. This jeep is in great condition and runs strong, everything works except for the few following, the choke cable is broken so the choke is held wide open (not a big deal in AZ), the oil canister leaks a tiny bit but all it needs is a new O-ring/gasket (napa sells them), the transmission has a small leak or it could be the rear main seal not sure but I have both on order and should be here this week, the brakes need to be bled there is air bubbles in the lines so the bakes need to be pumped once to engage them. The seats are out of a cj5 but the original seat frames are still in place, all they need is new cushions. Other than this being 65 years old it is in great condition, there are a few small rust holes, 3 total about the size of a quarter. I bought this for a project and I do not have the time due to my work schedule, If you want to come look at it or go for a ride I can show you everything works including the 4 wheel drive high and low, The engine was rebuilt about 1000 miles ago. Please only call after 330 on weekdays but you can text me or email me anytime,”

“This Jeep was given to me by a friend who’s grandfather died and left it to him. He lost the title so it only comes with a bill of sale. The granddad has owned it for many many years.
It sure not perfect and won’t win any beauty contests but he did have it running and driving about 2 years ago. As far as I can tell it’s pretty much complete and original and for the most part un-molested. This jeep is 65 years old so I would much rather you plan for the worst and hope for the best than be disappointed in any way-now that having been said I can’t imagine a better project jeep for the price. ”
No pics provided. Sounds like a nice build.

If I interpret this ad correctly, this was a $40k present for his son (I have lots of thoughts here I think I will keep them to myself –btw, Medina is where Bill Gates built his 66,000 sqft house, so if this seller lives in Medina, I suspect he didn’t blink spending $40k on a jeep). I’m not sure what the price on this is, but the reason for selling it is very funny: A16th birthday present for my son, wife said no, wife is hott, jeeps gotta go:(
“This jeep had a frame up restoration and everything is either new or rebuilt. Some of the items include- fresh rebuild on L134 4 cylinder flat head motor, 3 speed over drive transimission, T-90 special transimission, front disc brakes, tires and wheels, full roll cage and nerf bars all tied to the frame, new interior, sterring wheel and column by Flaming River, stereo, front and rear speakers, gauges, indicator lights, and turn signals, heater, cb/pa and antenna, custopm bumbers, custom swing out spare and hilift rack, new top, doors, bimi, spare and hi lift custom covers, piaa fog lights front and rear, piaa horn,optima yellow top deep cycle battery, line lock brake system (like on dragsters) Viper security system, Tuffy Security Products center consul stereo compartment. Entire jeep is flat rattle can black, has never been off road and has less then 500 miles on it. A16th birthday present for my son, wife said no, wife is hott, jeeps gotta go:( Just under 40k into this all professionally built nicest 46 CJ2A that you could ever find anywhere!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200

Brett spotted this Ad. Note the seller will throw in a windshield for additional money….
“For sale is a 1949 Jeep CJ 2a. The jeep is rust free, the engine has been rebuilt and the electric system upgraded to 12 V . (New Starter, altinator, distributer wiring, lightning,…)
New clutch, brakes and suspention has been rebuilt. New batterie.New tires. The jeep is running very well, however it still needs a speedometer and ampmeter, seat upholstery and a windshield( if wanted). I can provided this if wanted at additional costs. Overall a nice almost finished jeep. Willing to trade part trade for guns.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2950.
(11/29/2010) This appears to have the original chrome rimmed tail lights (an upgrade option from the stock driver’s side only tail light).
“Nice straight Willys CJ2A with the split front windshield. About as original as you will find with the flat head 4 cylinder engine. I have gone through alot of the mechanics and it starts and runs great. I have replaced the fuel tank, radiator, seat frames and seats and it has a newer soft top. The body is in fair condition and does have some rust and Bondo. The floors are all solid. This Jeep would make a good hunting rig or could be restored.
Please call Shawn at (509) 346-3212 for more information.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Here’s a VEC #11500 for sale over at the CJ2A Page (Thanks Bill).
This Jeep has no title. The transmission was switched to a later floor shift version. The transfer case may, or may not be original, the early style 4-rib park brake drum is present.
The engine is not the original chain engine, but it is a low serial number CJ-2A 33843, it looks like an early 1946 engine in it.

It’s rough, but there might be some value here.
“48 willys jeep no title body is rough asking $300 obo need it gone. call 503 881 2764”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
This looks like a great price and a fun restoration. It would be useful to see just how this was stretched. This could be a rare CJ-2L. This it the 5th one I have heard about or seen in the Pacific Northwest. You can see other stretched jeeps here. This looks like a good price. This almost looks like an old lefty, too.
“It’s all there but will need complete resto.Was stretched by a previous owner.Wheel studs are broken on front axle,so will not hold wheels. No title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
(11/14/2010) “This is a great original jeep.L134,T90, Dana 18,Dana 25/41 axles.Runs drives good,needs paint.Fist size hole in toolbox.”
