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 .
No motor, tranny, tc or steering … no pics either.

UPDATE: Kaweh says he’s asking $380/obo for the Cab, which includes a windshield, good glass, wipers, parts, etc. It’s all there. If you are interested, you can email him at ketminan-rad@jccscpa.com.
Recently, Kaweh used eWillys to find this 1951 CJ-3A in Osbourn, Idaho. The owner named the jeep Leapin Lena. She owned the jeep for 50 years and made Kaweh promise that he wouldn’t change the jeep’s name.
The jeep came with a top that Kaweh doesn’t want. He’s included some pics below. He hasn’t determined a price yet, so if you are interested, drop a comment below and I’ll make sure he gets your information.
In addition, Kaweh is looking for a CJ-2A windshield. If you have one and aren’t too far away from Missoula, drop a comment below. Thanks!
About the top, Kaweh writes “The window on the driver side (not the driver door but the window in the cab itself) is cracked. Otherwise the cab is in great shape just needs some TLC and paint.” Kaweh and the top are located in Montana. The windshield that is currently on the Jeep is part of the cab (you can see how upright it is installed). The doors are in really good shape; even the insulation is still there.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
“This is a fun little jeep. It has the 302 Ford V8 with conversion kit. It has been rhino lined both inside and out to prevent rust. It needs a little bit of work with the starter to get it working. Call or email with any questions. Thanks.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
“I have for sale a 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A. The jeep is very solid. The only thing is the passenger fender is bent in. The engine is locked up but the engine, transmission, and transfer case are there. Would be a easy restoration with a new drivetrain. Has the split windshield frame. Asking $1000 obo.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800
Note the bottom blue tub. It has the custom dash that I’ve seen on 5 or 6 or jeeps from California. Also, it appears that it doesn’t have a driver’s side gas inlet as a part of the original design. Anyone know anything about these bodies?
“I have 2 1940’s willy’s tubs the one in the photo the grey one on top has fenders hood tub and windshield frame – needs grill and tailgate and the blue one on the bottum is just a tub I am willing to sell them together or apart please call.”

This has a very unusual roll bar.
“This jeep is a 1946 Willys Jeep with all original body. The jeep belongs to a family member, and I am selling it for them. The last time the motor was running was about 6 years ago. There was nothing wrong with the motor then, it just sat and was never started again. The jeep has been owned by the same person for the last 20 years (since march 14, 1989). When the jeep was purchased it had new tires put on it, and was freshly painted, the same tires are still on the jeep. When it was parked 6 years ago, it was parked in a barn. There were horses in the barn that could reach part of the jeep, they nibbled on the top and one of the seats, therefore we took the top off and threw it out. The jeep sat in the barn untill 3 years ago when it was moved outside, where it sits today. The odometer reads 00220, but does not work, actual mileage is unknown….”
This looks nice. It’s got a few mods. Note the handwinch in the last pic.
“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A. The Jeep has been in dry New Mexico its entire life and is 99% rust free. The I purchased the Jeep in 1997 from an elderly gentleman here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He owned it since 1972, and he bought it from the original owner. I have many records with some registration records dating back to 1954. It has always been garaged, and is in excellent condition. I have updated/upgraded some of the features including: new top, roll cage, am/fm cassette mounted under the dash and speakers mounted under the rear seat, 12V electrical system, 11″ brakes, 2 1/2 inch Rancho lift, CV joint custom rear driveshaft …”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This ad has the longest series of keywords that I have ever seen — longer than the Ad itself. That said, the jeep itself might be a reasonable price given it drives.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $500 — I love this one.
(08/30/09) What’s this chain drive? There’s no transfercase. I’ve not seen anything like it.
“1947 Willys Jeep. Fold down windshield frame (Has Willys Script) . Has a chain drive set up on transmission. Full time 4 wheel drive. 16″ Wheels. Has custom foolproof brake setup on transmission, instead of on the wheels. Has a rebuilt 1978 Ford 2.3L 4cylander. I dont think it has been fired since rebuild becuase it has no spark. I Believe it needs a new distributer. Has VW radiator with electric fan. Nice swivel bucket seats. Tub is solid. Everything has been reinforced. I bought this from an old master mechanic that did alot of work to it, and then it sat in his garage for many years, without ever being run. No paperwork. DOES NOT RUN! A GREAT PROJECT OR ALOT OF GOOD PARTS!! Needs to be finshed, i have too many other projects. It would be a great hunting rig when running. Better/ Stronger than a fourwheeler, and still small enough to fit on trails. $500 FIRM. No Tire Kickers. Call 882-1505 if intrested”
http://albany.craigslist.org/cto/1478722019.html

“Body is in great shape, 3 speed with Ford Pinto engine. It is now a project vehicle, mid project. It ran several years ago and should not need much to run again. Includes the soft top and doors.
