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 is rusty and rough, but appears complete.
“Old Willys came with the house when I bought it. I was told it ran up until the previous owner died in ’07. Make me a reasonable offer and she’s yours. I just don’t have the time to mess with it. Trades for 4×4 quad or sled considered.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000. Might have a Porter & Reed hardtop.
(09/29/2010) I can’t tell much about it from the pics. It appears pretty stock.
“The jeep is in fairly good condition i cleaned it up a lot with the power washer. Needs a battery and tune up and should start rite up, it was running last time it was parked but was sitting in a shed for a couple years. It still uses a 6v battery. I was in the process of restoration but i just dont have the time and money to do it. Is a great restoration vehicle for someone thats not in tobad of shape. It still has the winch on the vehicle and i have the door pieces and other bars that came with it. I also have the original title for the jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2250
(11/13/2010) There might be some rust on the sides of this.
“1948 Willys CJ2A – $2250 (OBO Elk River). Ready for Restoration. Appears mostly original, front bumper was replaced with stronger unit, it was once used as a plow jeep. Has aluminum roof unit, dual underdash heaters, very nice treads on the tires. We bought this two years ago, it has been sitting in our garage, we’re moving and hope it finds a good home. It ran when put away, motor turns fine. More photos available upon request.”
A reader named Andy contacted me the other day about a flatfender that he purchased. He was told it was a former airport Jeep. Anyone recognize some of these mods? How about them rims!
Andy writes, “No data tags inside the body, but need to check the firewall tomorrow. The guy I bought the jeep from says that he saw another one with the same wheels on it at the hunting camp where he got this jeep …. There is some use of aluminum in this body, goes hand in hand with the airport shop mod theory …. It appears that the patches in the floors and sides were not really needed at the time they were done.. the body was still very sound in those areas. Looking in the wheel wells, you can see the original not rusted body covered by a layer of metal from the top. I think you may be right on the combination of manuf. top with some airport shop ‘extras’. Those doors sure are unique, I have not seen such before ..”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500. This could have a Porter & Reed hardtop.
“This is a 1948 Willys Jeep. It is my grandfathers jeep, and is in great condition. It is parade ready. The tires and brakes are good and the engine runs fine, and has a heater inside of the cab. Its a great vehicle to drive around the farm, go fishing in, and showing off in town. The cab is obviously not origional, but in good condition and has its advantages. Great for any veteran or anyone who has great respect and passion for this era, as my grandfather does.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
The seller of the body has thrown in a running CJ-3A for combo price of $2500. I have to say, I’d really like this combo. I think that’s a good price.

I’m not sure how many CJ-6s there are in Canada, so this might be a pretty rare vehicle.
“1964 Willys CJ6 has swapped in 302 engine. It’s complete but needs work, not drivable.

“
