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 believe this is some kind of replacement tub. It also has the advance adapter windshield latches.

This is listed as a 1942 CJ2b; a rare model indeed. Humor (or lack thereof) aside, could be a solid jeep, though the peeling paint on the hood may have some filler in it (I can’t quite tell).

The motor is still in the vehicle.
It was parked in a car yard below our residence, under pine trees, years and years ago. I guess out of sight out of mind is true-to-form in this case.
Please call and I’ll text photos to your phone.
I’ll keep searching for the title. Mom is 101 and she tells me she still has it. Its just up to me to find it at her home. ***Sorry, I am unable to find a title at this time.***)”

“Running and driving and very original cj2a. Getting harder to find these! Some rough edges but a great base to build into a classic head-turner or fun 4×4. Starts and runs and goes through the gears fine. Brakes need bled, but it will stop- eventually. Pto winch works. Body mostly very straight. Original seat bases there with some decent newer passenger van seats on them now. Fairly comfortable. Need bolted in. $3500 obo.”

I am guessing that this is a 2A with a rebuilt body. The body looks re-skinned in parts and rebuilt in others and patched in still others.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.
(09/16/2020) It’s a project
“Complete CJ2A restoration project stalled. The entire jeep is disassembled down to the frame. Frame repairs are done and ready for frame to be primed and painted. Nothing else had been done in the way of restoration. Included are front axle, rear axle, springs transmission, transfer case, drive shafts, clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, motor, head, carburetor, fuel pump, air cleaner and cross over tubes. Radiator, gauges, seat frames, tub, windshield frame, hood, grill, lights, tailgate, and anything else on the shortage shelves. The tub is very repairable with some patch work. I have the paper work to get and Iowa title but currently it has no title.”
This may be a CJ-2A or 3A with a CJ-3B body on it.
