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 runs and appears to have an ACME, Kentrol, or AJ Fiberglass body.

Randy forwarded me this video about a recreation of a 1943 drive in a Willys Jeep around Killymoon Castle, Cookstown, Northern Ireland. The folks at the Wartimeliving History Association helped make this video. The video is dedicated to the men of the 505th regimental combat team 82nd Airborne Division United States Army, Stationed in Cookstown Northern Ireland 9th December 1943 to 13th February. I don’t have any history about the original drive.
A new reader from Boise named Shane alerted me to this flattie that sits near Boise’s airport. It sits as if it is for sale, but I could see no for sale sign. The muffler and a few other misc parts are sitting in the back. The front turn signal/parking lights appear to use the side running lights of a semi trailer. The side steps are gone, replaced with custom bars that help hold the fenders in place. The steering and seats appear updated. Based on the rear pic, this appears to have been a late 1946 CJ-2A.
UPDATE: Status Unknown
Here is a beautiful FC for sale spotted in remote Enterprise OR by David.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
This includes a Saturn OD and other new parts. However, I’d check out the body closely as the passenger side step appears to be partly pulled away from the body.
“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A- Original 4 cylinder/3 speed with a Saturn overdrive unit, 12 volt electronic ignition
New radiator, shocks, steering wheel, springs, plugs, valves, valve springs, carborator, exhaust, exhaust manifold, and clutch. Complete Brake job with 2 new brake drums.
