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 is a 1950 CJ-3A with an L-134 Go-Devil 4 cyl engine, T-90 Transmission and D18 Transfer case. It does not run.
Frame:
Overall excellent. Some rust in spots but no rot or evidence of repair.
Body:
Extremely rough. Likely beyond repair. Fenders are also rotted. Hood is solid but does have a wide shallow dent. Top bows are still present but will need extensive repair if they are to be used.
Engine:
L-134 Go-Devil. It is not stuck but I have made no attempt to start it. Condition aside, it appears very original right down to the clips that hold the fuel and vacuum lines together. Air cleaner, oil filter, fuel pump are likely all original 3A parts. The starter was recently removed and is not included.
Transmission and Transfer case:
Both stuck. Hand brake has sustained damage and will need to be replaced. Some components possibly salvage but this will need a complete rebuild or replacement.
Axles:
D41 rear and D25 front. Two of four wheels stuck.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $7500.
Has some dings and dents, but looks solid.

These appeared on G503’s Facebook page last week. I’m not sure what magazine this is from?
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,750.
Looks like a good rebuild. Includes a few extras.
“This is my Willys 47′ CJ2A. I found a new project Jeep that I want to restore so I’m putting her up for sale. New odometer reads miles since rebuild. I put a ton of hours into her. It was a farm Jeep originally then a car collector did a quick fix up on her. Body is solid. Only bondo was where they took off the spare tire holder to customize it a bit. The spare tire support in the wheel well was kept in tact. They changed her color to red. Under the gas tank and other concealed spots found her true gray color. Originally I was going to drive it “as is” but every pinion yoke leaked badly due to the leather seals that were still on her. Then I found the gas tank leaked as well as the radiator. The brakes needed new cylinders and the wiring was brittle. Transfer case we as ok but the transmission would kick out of second gear when down shifting. The “Go Devil” flat head motor ran ok but had the problematic cracks above and below the distributor. I can go on.
Now here’s what I did to her.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2250.
(05/12/2016) May be a good price.
