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 .
This CJ-2A hasn’t run in a while.

“I am selling my 1948 Willys CJ-2A … It has always been a dream of mine to own a 40’s vintage jeep decked out in WWII fashion like this ever since I was a young man. I’ve had my fun with it, but now I am more concerned about needed garage space vs. having this. I will sell for the right price, but I certainly won’t give it away.
First and foremost, I do have a clean title to the vehicle. If you don’t follow these things that closely, that is a somewhat rare occurrence.
The jeep is in VERY good shape with very little rust and a body that is in great shape (original body, not a fiberglass version). Here’s what I’ve done to it since owning it:
1. Installed a new head gasket
2. Polish cylinder heads
3. Replaced one cylinder
4. New brake master cylinder and wheel cylinders
5. New brake shoes on all four wheels
6. Cleaned and re-packed all bearings on all wheels
7. New distributor cap
8. New points
9. New thermostat
10. New lower radiator hose
11. Complete oil change / new filter / new oil pan plug
12. Removed all transmission covers, cleaned, repainted, and installed new gaskets
13. Drained gear oil out of front and rear transfer cases, new gaskets, new gear oil
14. New steering tie rod
15. Clean carburetor, new gasket
16. Flush radiator and engine and install new anti-freeze
17. Installed front window latches
18. New transmission shift lever boot
19. New dual shift lever boot

If truly a 1945 CJ-2A, it lacks a few items.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
This may be a good price. It’s listed for $7500 in the text, but my only $6800 in the title (might be a price drop). The body isn’t perfect, as the steps are missing.
“Jeep CJ2A 4×4 1947. Looking for $7,500 runs drives( Facebook will not let me post it for more the 6800).
