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 .

(09/17/2015) This appears to be a lefty. It might be a 1948 or at the very leasts a ’48 body.

(07/02/2014) Runs and drives. It lacks brake lights.
“This is a very rare 48 Cj2a Willys Jeep. It is Call a lefty as the spare tire is mounted on the drivers side and the bow mounts are on passengers side, just opposite of the standard 2A They only made so many of this type jeep in a short time in 1948..The jeep is in great shape for its age it is the original color..The windshield is in super condition and all there, including the manual and vacumn wipers..It has been converted to 12 volt, it runs great and stops.. I used this to drive around on my farm but since sold it.. would not take much to get street legal..Has lock out hubs, needs a battery and muffler,seats are in good shape, no rear seat..Has the usual rust, jeep has not been molested..
This is a very solid rare old peace of history

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $14,000.
Besides the crazy price, given the “left” top bow holders this is not a ’46, but rather appears to be a 1948 Lefty.
“Classic 1946 ‘Army Green’ Willys JEEP
This 4-wheel drive, 4 cylinder motor JEEP has all its original parts, excluding the rims and tires which are almost new, and runs GREAT!
Interior is in superb condition; Exterior has some minor cosmetic blemishes.
If there are specific details you’d like to know about or questions you might have, please do not hesitate to call and ask.
Willing to discuss options for delivery (after sale only) and/or meeting up, depending on distance and location.”
This is likely a 1948 given the left mounted bow holders.
“Old jeep, runs and drives, many new parts replaced, needs brake master and tires. I also have original wheels and tires to go with it. Would make a great farm or ranch hand or a great hunting vehicle or something to play around with. Does not have a title but you can get one.
