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 .
UPDATE: Was listed at $1800. **SOLD**
Listed as a 1949, this has tool indents and three data plates. It kind of looks like it might have been a column shift at some point.
“1949 JEEP WILLYS CJ2A RUNS AND DRIVES ORIGINAL DRIVE TRAIN WITH INLINE 4 FLATHEAD GREAT PLATFORM FOR A RESTORATION OR JUST USE IT AS IS FOR FUN IN DESERT.”
It has the original plate, but has been switched to a ball hitch.
“The trailer is a 1942 Willys MBT military trailer, it has the original data plate showing a delivery date of 11-42. It is one of the earliest Willys trailers that has a cast center section connecting the axle. It has had a tailgate cut into it some time in its past. It has 14″ wheels with like new tires. It also has a ball hitch on the front. I put chains and lights on it. It is black plate PTI licensed, completely legal, and tows quite well. I have done a number of Home Depot runs with it.
I started to treat the rust on it and put rust killer primer on the inside of the bed. The outside has had clear rust treatment sprayed on, and it has allot of character with the patina it has. I have thought about spraying it original OD green, but have not been able to bring myself to cover up the aged look.
I got it so I could haul stuff behind my jeep. But the jeep is for sale, so this is going too. If you are looking for a parade ready ww2 trailer, this is not it. It is a ww2 trailer, but does not have all the original parts on it. It is a very cool, functional trailer that looks and works great behind a jeep.
I do have a pink in hand for it, so it is simple to register with DMV.”
