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 appears pretty stock.

Here’s a restored CJ-2A.
“I hate, hate, hate that I have to sell this Jeep. I purchased this CJ2A several years ago and have 293 recorded man hours into the restoration. I have a full photo album of pictures from the very early stages through completion. However, only recent ones are available online. I have taken a few pictures of the pictures with my camera phone. Too much detail to go into regarding the restoration, but I do have a printout of everything that went into it. It runs well and is started weekly to keep everything in working order. T-90 Transmission and Transfer Case Model 18. Engine: #J45856. This restoration is one of the nicest that I’ve ever seen. This jeep is a great collectible and a piece of American history. Please feel free to ask questions, I’ll do my best to answer…. Make an offer! Can and would love to ship.”

UPDATE: SOLD .. Was listed at $500.
Given the parts, this seems like a good price. I’d think this would have the Dana 30 & Centered Dana 44 as well. I think I’ve seen this for sale previously.

I really like the composition of this image. One thing I had not seen before was a gun mounted to the windshield. I guess they didn’t drop the windshield?

Howell, Statesville, North Carolina and Private First Class Thomas Irvin, North Ashville, Tennessee. And rear: Private Arthur W.

Dan spotted this FC. This looks like a solid parts FC if nothing else.

“1948 willys jeep CJ2A , great project. I have some new parts and a donor vehicle (64 cj6) available as well.”
This looks like it was a racer. Now it’s a parts jeep.

“1955 WILLYS BUGGY…33″ TIRES…10,000 LB. WINCH…TOW BAR…250 CID FORD SIX WITH FOUR SPEED, HIGH/LOW TRANFER CASE…..$3000.00 OR OFFER.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This appears to be a reasonable price given the completeness of the jeep.
“I am selling my 1948 CJ2A project. I intended to do a complete frame off restoration but it will be way to long until I can get to the rebuild and I have one too many Jeeps now. The Jeep appears to be completely original with a few exceptions. It has had a V6 swapped in what appears to me as a Buick 225 but I have not verified this. Original T90 tranny, Dana 18 t case, front Dana 27 and rear 44 are intact and serviceable (I spot only the expected leaks to be fixed). An aftermarket roll bar has been installed and what looks to be a 3″ suspension lift. All body pieces have the original Willys marks and the original serial number and instruction plates are present. The body is pretty rough however. It is badly rusted underneath and has some ‘bites’ of rust especially behind front fenders. I had planned to replace the whole tub after blasting a re-coating the frame. The frame has surface rust all the way around but I have not spotted any integrity issues (no corrosion through major stress points for body or spring hangers, etc.). The previous owner told me it was running as of a few months ago (as evidenced by a new fuel pump, distributor and wires) but I have not fixed her up enough to turn her over. BE AWARE: THE JEEP WILL NOT DRIVE OUT!! Buyer must be prepared with a trailer and way to winch the Jeep onto it.
Price is $1500.00 FIRM. NO trade and serious inquiries only. The Jeep is located 30 mins. away from me in another garage of mine and I must have notification well ahead of time to come take a look. Understandhttp://www.ewillys.com/wp-admin/post-new.php that this is a full rebuild project. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(01/27/10) This appears in good condition and appears very stock.
“Great condition,runs great,Breaks need work.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3950
It’s hard to tell much from the photo.
‘Mechanical condition ( very good ), four wheel drive, bucket seats, turning signals, trailor hitch, folding windshield, outside mirro on driver side, USMC decals on each side, 4×4 transfer case; two speed and is in parade condition Jeep. The Jeep was appraised on (9-2-09) by Classic Car Appraisal. The certificate will be turned over at time of purchase with the Jeep. The engine had a partial overhaul in 2007 and was painted about that time also.”
Or found this Tander for sale (thanks Or!). The exchange rate puts the price on this at about $10,000. I still a bit shocked I haven’t seen any original literature for these yet. That’s reminds me .. I need to build a special page for these ….

This appears to be a nice CJ-2A. It looks like it is missing the rear bow holder.
