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’m not sure if these are $1500 each or $1500 for both. Only one pic of the CJ-2A and it doesn’t show much.

(05/20/2012) It runs …
“This is a 1948 Willys Jeep, model CJ2A. It does run with a jump start, shift and move, but it does not stop. I put a new fuel pump and a rebuilt carburator on it to get it running. It has no tags, therefore it has no papers. Good for parts. The body is in poor condition. You will need to bring wheels and tires because the wheels on it are already called for.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(06/19/2012) This appears solid, but still needs work.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
(06/08/2012) This looks nice. I wonder if it includes a M-606 designation on the data plate or VIN. I suspect that’s a replacement body, too.

“TRADE I have a 1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep. This vehicle has been used in numerous car and Jeep shows. It is drivable and is in excellent running condition. This Jeep has a front tow bar, so it can be flat towed. It is 90% original, other than some added on diamond plating and a half top roof. This vehicle is one of the Jeeps that is in the Guiness Book of World Records for being part of the World’s largest Jeep only parade in Butler, PA 2011 (Certificate of authinticity is available).
I am looking to trade for a inspected and running Jeep Wrangler (prefer automatic transmission, 4 or 6 cylinder) of equal value.
I am looking for a “daily-driver” now instead of an occasional “summer-drive show” vehicle.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(05/17/2012) This doesn’t run; it probably needs a fuel pump. This appears to have a MB body.
“1947 Willys Flat Fender Jeep. Current none operational title. Currently not running. Will fire up with gas poured in carburetor. Needs battery 289 V8 engine, 4speed transmission original axles, descent tires also comes with 33 rollers. Let me know if you want more pics. Bought as a project but I don’t have the time for it.”
UPDATE: This appears to have sold. Was listed at $3999
(06/14/2012) The truck looks great and so does the price.

We are busy at the beach, so no updates until Sunday morning.
Here are a few pics from our trip to Seattle and then down to Seaside, Oregon. Note that instead of writing something mushy or loveydovey in the sand, Ann took it upon herself to draw and photograph eWillys in the sand. Why she was thinking of you all while spending time at the beach with me is beyond me . . .
Here we are taking a break from our hike on Chinook Pass (ok, we only hiked from the car to the sidewalk).
Here’s a nice shot with Mt. Rainier in the background.
I’ve heard of food trucks, but not food boats! Ann had eaten here and said we had to stop. The place is called Bowpickers and is located in Astoria, Oregon. They do fish and chips and that is it. Their fish is locally caught albacore tuna. It was very very good.
Here’s Ann’s toes showing their creative side:
No, we aren’t married yet. We happened to have Ann’s veil in the car, so we pulled a practical joke on her family . However, her Uncle Bob really is marrying us July 28th.
According to the website, “Dennis Avery, land owner of Galleta Meadows Estates in Borrego Springs envisioned the idea of adding ‘free standing art’ to his property with original steel welded sculptures created by ‘Perris Jurassic Park’ owner/artist/welder Ricardo Breceda based in Perris, California.” One of the sculptures he commissioned was a tribute to the jeep (or jeeping, I don’t have specific information about the sculpture).
You can see a variety of jeep pictures here
These pictures were photographed by Bob Perry and posted at Flickr. Note that there are no boulders under the jeep at the time they were taken in 2010. However, as of 2012 there are now boulders, suggesting the jeep is climbing over them.
A reader sent me this old photo, writing “This is a old photo of mark vansciver and his dad Steve (friends of our family )trying to winch their Jeep up a embankment (side of the mountain) on vacation in western NC ……..Jeep survived……marks pride hurt”
Looks nicely restored. I wonder if it was really painted yellow for the private airport.
“Our 1953 Airforce Jeep is for sale…….It was used as a “FOLLOW ME” Car. The restauration including the engine was done ca. 5 Years ago.
The jeep was only used as a “Follow Me” vehicle on a private airport since then, and has less than 450 miles on the new engine.24 Volt System.
The car is in nice shape.”

Blaine was visiting Kalispell, Montana, this week and spotted these two toys at an antique store. I believe they are still for sale.
Leave a comment below or email me if you are interested in them and I’ll get the info from Blaine.

UPDATE: **SOLD**
“It’s unfortunate that I have to sell this Jeep, but with a 3, 1 year old, and a third one due in a week, I just don’t have the time to finish this project.
It was purchased last year, and all I’ve managed to accomplish with my spare time was painstakingly remove the civilian paint in order to expose the windshield markings, original hood numbers, and the original OD. I also collected some missing parts. This is a rare “matching” numbers 1943 Willys MB with original tags and markings.
Frame: MB215454
Nomenclature Plate: MB215454
Engine: MB230240
Hood Number: 20308931
I’m really looking for someone who will appreciate the originality of this Jeep and not attempt to strip and do a frame-off restoration.
A few details:
The paint is about 90% original OD. I removed spots of bondo on front lip of the hood, side handles and section of rear panel. The bondo was there to cover minor dents NOT rust areas. Using about four shades of OD, I managed to blend and age the new paint with the original.
– Based on the license plates, the Jeep is no longer in the California DMV System. The previous owner lost the title long ago. I can only provide a Bill of Sale.
– Original “split” front seats and rear seat came off another 1943 MB. All three are solid. The rear is the best one I’ve ever come across.
– Minor rust through in the passenger-side channel (shown in photo)
– Rear “V” brace and bumper have been replaced, but cleanly done to look original
– Motor is seized, but no visible cracks in typical areas
– Four combat rims that originally came with the Jeep. The red civilian rim on the front driver-side is not included
– The previous owner had the spare tire mounted on the rear passenger side. He welded a piece of pretty good chunk of metal for support. Fortunately, the original sheet metal is still underneath it. Cut, grind down, primer and paint . . . and it’s good to go.
– Original pair of SEELITE bulbs. The topbow I purchased at Tower Park earlier this year. The seller told me it’s a repro, but it sure does have a nice patina. Other than that, EVERYTHING on the Jeep is original”
