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: **SOLD** Was $2500.
It’s a project.
“We purchased as a project 3 years ago and haven’t made any progress. Ran when parked, haven’t started in 2 years. New clutch, needs brake work. We’d rather someone else restore it than see it waste away. “
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
May be some value here. I’m sure the frame is solid, but ‘beautiful’??
“Ran good when parked. Body is pretty solid. Beautiful frame and low miles on drivetrain. Two lever trancsfercase. No time for project so selling.”
UPDATE: Still Available

(07/24/2014) Motor needs overhaul.
“Great Project vehicle to restore, 1948 Jeep Willys, working up till a couple of years ago. Needs motor overhaul. Has new clutch, one new front drive shaft. Have new master cylinder part.“
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500.
(01/24/2014) This looks pretty good, but the dress is covering quite a bit of the jeep.
“We are selling our 1948 Willys CJ2A. It runs very well and looks great! Every time we take it for a ride we get many waves and “thumbs up”. It was restored about thirteen years ago and won best in show last year at Berlins Drive in the 50’s car show. We just don’t have the time to enjoy it like we used to. This is a GREAT old Jeep! Thanks for looking.
This Willys wagon was built by an older couple to enjoy fishing. Maybe it is just the camera perspective, but it sure looks like there is plenty of room inside. When the couple decided they were done using it, they sold it the author of this blog: http://rockhopperfishing.com/sleepinginthedunes1963/
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $450
Looks like $450 worth of value to me.
“I have a Willys (1948??) CJ for sale, with no title nor VIN. Was on a farm for decades. Being sold as parts only. Perhaps to support your restoration, trail rig? Hunting truck or gosh knows what! Either way, I want it gone and need the space, hence the super low price. Cash only, not selling it off bit by bit, what you see is what you get. Does not run, needs to be towed.”
Seller knows very little about this GPW.
“This listing is for another one from the ” Someday Collection ” My boss bought this as a running driving vehicle about 15 years ago parked it inside and basically forgot about it. Drove it a few times the first year or 2 but it has sat since then. Jeep was bought from George Moore Truck & Equipment in Keeseville NY you can find them on the internet ( Georgemooretruck.com ) It was a restored jeep at some point before my boss bought it. I believe this is a World War II Willys Jeep. I couldn’t find a frame tag on it but it looks like the front frame horn on each side had extra metal welded into them. There is some loose paint on the body mostly on the right side. There has been body work done to it when it was restored all those years ago but still presents well in my opinion. Ran fine when parked drove fine too. We pulled it out for photos and will have it running and driving and ready for pick up. Here’s a great opportunity to breathe some new life into an old piece of American History. Great for parades displays etc. Not sure of the year or how to positively ID anything on it but I will do my best to answer any questions”

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was “make offer”.
“The mod was originally done in the late 70’s and has been basically unchanged. Flat fender Bantam/Jeep placed on Subaru Brat.
Needs some work, was running less then 30 days ago, may have fuel/carburetor problems. Let’s talk, open to certain trades (tractor with bucket /Motorcycle)
4x part time, front wheel when not.”
