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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 is a project with a rough body. Possible Lefty.

“Ran good and strong until several years ago. I added water to the engine and I forgot about it and it cracked during the winter so the engine has a cracked block Good restoration project. Everything else worked on it. Four-wheel-drive, low and high”
This 2A has a ‘Lefty’ body, though it appears in poor condition. The ad does not mention if the body in the background goes with it.

“Small block Chevy 305 conversion project with automatic th350 and new novak adapter to bolt on to rebuilt Dana 18 transfer case! Jeepster front and rearends with disc brakes lots of spare parts! I do have title!”
Looks good, but the bench seat seems an odd choice given the restoration.

If the tire mount is original to the driver’s side location, then this may be a “Lefty”. There are no top bow holder brackets on the passenger side.

(07/14/2022) Any spotted this Lefty with a wrecker on the back. As he noted to me, this might be a Manley, though the Manley setup has a single support bar in front rather than two. Maybe it’s a modified Manley? No description provided.

Listed as a 1949, the Lefty body puts this as a 1948.
