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 .

It’s a project.
“his is a project jeep. It was a postal military jeep at one time. It is 2 wheel drive. It has the original L-134 Flathead motor that has been rebuilt and has not been started yet. It has the original T-96 transmission which has been rebuilt and converted to a top shifter. I have had all the parts off the motor rebuilt. It has a 12 volt charging system. It still needs few more parts to get it running. It has some brakes and new shocks. It had a metal top at one time but not when I got it. It has no doors. I have a tow bar for it. The radiator has been rebuilt also. It needs all fluids. The engine and transmission are in the jeep. It is a good project jeep to finish. It also has a new clutch and throw out bearing. I have more pictures that I can text if anyone is interested.”

“1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A restoration project. This Jeep appears to be fairly complete, but it needs a total ground-up restoration. It hasn’t been run since the 80’s. I have been told it was a running vehicle when it was parked, but I have made no effort to test this theory as I’m sure it will need work just to get it to turn over. You should plan to trailer it home. The front fenders and grill are included, they are just not shown in the photos. Jeep has been cleaned up a tad since the pics were taken but still needs more work. Does not appear to have any noticeable rust issues, but it does appear that the front frame horn on the passenger side has been previously repaired. It has been in Arizona since at least 1969 and has a clean Arizona title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4300.
(08/25/2015) No obvious rust.
“1948 CJ2A runs good, everything works, previous owner had new radiator put in and painted it, good battery, gas tank had leak-repaired, new sending unit in tank and gas gauge, front axle seals replaced, good tires, winch with remote never used it, holds road good for a ole jeep. Just setting in shop don’t drive it anymore.”
Looks like the driver is having fun.

“This is a great Jeep 4×4. You will not find many in this condition. If any! It has been completely gone threw. Just recently did entire new brake system, hoses, master cylinders, everything.

This is the first year the commercial model was available to the public after the war. No rust anywhere and everything has been undercoated so it never will. Showing on speedometer and title has 21350 miles. Has a couple small spots on paint but nothing big.Does have the doors just have them off.”

Seller needs to quickly sell stuff. Given the full floaters, I’m guessing this is an MB with a replacement tub that never was titled correctly (has a ’47 title).

“’48 Willys Jeep CJ2a, Yes it’s a real Jeep, I built it!! Orig body in good shape, orig frame, some repair to front. ’74 CJ-5 Dana 30 / 44 with 4.27 gears, was told rear is a posi. Late ’80s Chevy 305 V8, ’55 SM420 trans, worn second gear synchro. ’68 Scout Dana 20 xfer case, appears to have factory twin stick, i.e. can shift into 2wd low range. Hanging brake pedal with a ’74 CJ5 dual port master cylinder.Was a daily driver through 2001, largely sat since. Started and drove it a bit a year ago. Comes with a ’79 Dana 30 narrow track CJ-7 axle with disc brakes, so you have all the parts needed for a front disc conversion; from the looks I’d get new rotors and calipers, use these for cores. Has aftermarket rear folding seat, and of course the Besttop in pics.
what it needs:
New drivers seat (have a premium racing seat brand new!)
new gas tank (have a new one in the box with new sending unit and gasket) The one in it is JC Whitney, had mis-aligned sending unit holes.
New fuel line, has a rubber line that’s OK, but exits frame real close to the exhaust.
New battery
Of course, replace brake fluid, oil etc etc.
Jeep is in Winnemucca. I can bring it to Reno, but not ’til after Burningman. Yes, this Willy’s is an old school Burner, ’96 thru ’99! (Hence the hand print paint job). Even has an original “Nevadans for Burningman” sticker!
Got a beat up Cherokee for a new project; has room for the 90 lb dog and camping gear!”

It is always funning to hear the f-head described as a high performance power plant. The article was featured in the November 30, 1960, issue of Lakeland Ledger.

(07/14/2015) Looks like a dependable truck.

Interesting structure (storage?) above the dash. It seems to be holding the windshield in place. It doesn’t have windshield clamps.
