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 .
Bill shared this fine looking Boyer CJ-2A fire jeep.

Seems worth a look.

“1966 CJ5 hardtop, has 60’s Ford inline 6, stock running gear, no rust, have wrangler back seat, extra body tub with front hoop roll bar and frame, doesn’t run but does crank, probably needs fuel system clean and points, brakes work”
Looks like there’s value here. It lacks an engine. has a military windshield.

“1947 Jeep Willys, it’s in pretty rough shape but definitely worth rebuilding for the right person. Body is in decent shape for the year, there is some rust in the normal spots for these. Floor will need to be replaced. Does not have an engine, all other drive train is there tho. There is no title. Message me for more detail if interested”
Andy, from Argentina, standing in his engine compartment at Washougal Classic Jeep while Richard and Jake work on his engine.
Recently, through Facebook, I was made aware of Andy, who is driving his Willys wagon from Argentina to Alaska. I lack many of the details, but I know that by early May Andy had made it all the way to Oregon when his engine finally gave out. Unable to go any farther, he and friends reached out through Facebook to find someone would could help him fix his engine (a couple posts on this FB page).
Richard Darr of Washougal Classic Jeep, near Vancouver, Washington, volunteered to help. While Andy stayed with a friend in Tigard, Oregon, Richard towed the vehicle to his place, diagnosed the problems:
“The engine has some serious issues for sure and the cracks have us spooked as well but we are going to try and breathe life back into this engine to hopefully finish the journey to Alaska. We really don’t know if the cracks happened recently or been there for quite some time. We are going to put a new timing set in and reseal the valves, clean out all the blockages in the cooling ports and new head gasket and top it off with a tune up and see what happens. Drive it around locally a bit to see how it takes. If it seems healthy enough to send Andy on his way then off he goes.. if not.. then we will have to switch gears and come up with a replacement engine or something. Jake and I are happy to do what we can to get Andy to the finish line of his more than 8 year Trek.”
After a couple weeks, Richard and Jake were able to repair the engine enough that Andy decided not to invest in another block. They test drove the wagon recently and are satisfied it is ready. Andy test drove it as well and says it is more powerful than it has been since Bolivia (I can only guess something happened to the engine there?). So, Andy is prepared to take off towards Alaska again.
Jake and Richard testing the wagon’s rebuilt engine, with Jake driving.
During the process, did require Richard to spend $400 of his own money (plus all the time). I’m going to send Richard $200 to cover half his expenses. If anyone wants to donate as well, you can send money directly to me through PayPal (Payment@ewillys.com) and I will send Richard an additional check based on any donations (he doesn’t have PayPal). If you have any questions, just email me: d@deilers.com.
Ron Fitzpatrick recently revealed two parts GPAs he apparently has acquired, which I imagine he will transform into one? Anyway, I wanted to highlight the green one, as it is one of the oddest modified GPAs I’ve ever seen. The pics are from this post: https://www.facebook.com/ron.fitzpatrick.g503/posts/pfbid0oJdt1qQ8yYYtgsJ1QkETtynEJpbEWQUJvPtd8ncrXvFeZNB3S8czBzdXie8Qqr1Gl
Bill shared this article from Silodome on the Austin Champ. It included the below video.
TJ spotted this Howe Fire Jeep, which is now a pile of parts. Still, I can’t imagine there isn’t value of some kind here.

“The first photo is for illustration of what a Fire Jeep looks like. It is a project with nearly all the necessary parts”

“Not mine. However I do transport cars across the country so if someone wanted to make a deal on this, I could probably transport it for you. If you need me to do a video chat or check it out for you private message me. Located in Lowell Vt. Driver floor seems to have a couple small holes.”
Lots of updates and a Bobcat hood on this flattie.

“Cab is in good shape, windshield all in one peice and the floors/dash arnt rusted. Starts right up and you can drive it around. 4×4 works, lights work and I have a clean Oregon title in hand. Pretty rare, pretty cool, pretty funny looking too Have some extras to go with it”
Little known about this 2A, but it seems to have potential. I don’t see any obvious rust.

“Listing for family. 1947 CJ2A needs a new home. Very little is known about it. Looks to be mostly complete and appears that it was driven in to the shop where it currently resides. Is currently in Republic.”
Listed as a 1952, the yellow jeep appears to be a 1946 CJ-2A, given the three data plates on the dash. I believe the yellow jeep has a Koenig half cab, while the other jeep has a sears-branded full cab.

“Its all there, and there’s 2 of them”
And, the second jeep: Continue reading
This is listed as a 1954, but it’s clearly has a CJ-2A body. Unclear how much value is here, as this doesn’t run. But, included in the photos is what appears to be a Script GPW. I’m not sure if that’s included in the price or not as it is not mentioned.
https://www.facebook.com/commerce/listing/236449852342677
“It’s got a nice cab,roll bar, and tow hitch. The motor is a ford 260 v8. With an overdrive Its been sitting a long time. Back is full of carburetors and other parts”
And the GPW:
More of the CJ-2A: Continue reading
Listed as a 1942, odds are it is a CJ-2A (appears to have the dash ignition holes).

“Jeep Willy’s just needs carb tune runs rich could drive home little to no rust good tread good old school warren winch good condition seats have been redone”
Bill shared the nice looking Jeepster at what might be a pretty good price, though the gauges and overdrive need to be wired. It was also highlighted on Barn Finds.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/977492693269519/
“Nice looking 1950 Jeepster, runs has good brakes, converted to 12 volt, has disk brakes on front , new top not installed, dash gauge’s needs to be wired up, is a 3 speed with 3 on the tree, it does have o/d but it needs hooked up, this vehicle still has the 4 cylinder hurricane engine, interior good body work has been done in the past, tires good. mileage unknown.”
This appears to have a custom half cab.

“Selling a super clean 1946 Willys CJ2A. Was a hunting rig in Eastern Washington in the 60’s and 70’s then parked in a garage for 30 years. Rescued it from storage last year. Does not run, has an overhead valve motor in it that’s stuck. What’s neat is that it has a super clean body, no major rust at all. Was going to pair this with my other CJ2A but just don’t think I’m going to get to it anytime soon”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(03/11/2023) Runs and drives.

Mileage is an unknown This Jeep has manual steering and no lift, about as stock as you can find one nowadays. Has numerous spare parts and a towbar.
