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 .

(03/13/2011) This is a beautiful FC, however there are at least 3 issues I have with this: 1) See image #3, note the chevrolet like design … sigh … 2) See image #4, note the ‘150’ logo rather than ‘170’ … really? …. 3) the bumper isn’t quite stock, but doesn’t look all that bad.

(09/23/2011) This sounds like a good build.

It needs some work. The seats are odd.
“I am selling my 1948 Willys Jeep cj2a. The engine was rebuilt from ground up about 2 years ago. The fuel tank, body, generator, and radiator need work and it needs new seats. It is in need of a good home who can provide TLC and finish its rebuild. I am starting at $3000 but willing to negotiate for the right person. Please let me know if you are interested in seeing it or have any questions.”
UPDATE: Rick forwarded me some ‘before’ pics of his jeep. It was rough.
Rick shared this story with me a few days ago. He has promised to send me some ‘before’ pictures.
He wrote, “Hi Dave. I bought a 1948 willys jeep in Montana off Craigslist 2 years ago for $700. Unfortunately, I never got up there to get it, because soon after I bought I was diagnosed with cancer. I am a Captain at the Medford Fire Department; as a surprise to me, my fellow fighters went to montana, brought it back and completely rebuilt it. My wife was in on it too. On December 23rd, 2011, they presented it to me. I was completely surprised! Want to see it?”
Of course I told him I’d love to see it! So, here it is. Thanks for sharing your marvelous story Rick. The jeep looks wonderful. You’ve got some great friends in Medford!
