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: Status Unknown. Was Make Offer.
Needs some work. The vintage logo of Sylvan Lake is neat.
“Old Mail Jeep 6 Cyl for motor engine would be great for a collector needs some trans work.
MAKE OFFER”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650.
“I got this overdrive in an m38 willys that I bought and don’t know the history of it. It does turn and spin and all parts move. It is a Warn, the data tag says it is a 33-29, but the gear has a 26 on it. It came off of a 18 transfer with a t-90 transmission in a willys m38.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $250.
I thought this might be a Porter & Reed, but as Bill points out it isn’t aluminum. Now I think it could be a Koenig Jiffy Cab (which came in aluminum or steel).
Looks like a good price. Is it a Porter & Reed?
“THIS IS A VERY NICE ALL STEEL CAB FOR A 1941 TO 1953 WILLYS JEEP CJ-2.”
Example of a Jiffy Cab:
Has rear PTO.
“1946 Willy’s jeep.
Mostly complete (bad/ugly motor)
No seats, No front window(or frame)
Some gauges Missing
Body has rust.
Chassis is good with warn twin stick overdrive and rear PTO winch.
This jeep has awesome potential for resto, hot rod, or to part out.
Has a clean title!!”

“1946 Jeep CJ2A rolling chassis. Everything but one rear spring. Includes motor, trans and transfer case, front fenders, steering wheel, and clutch, and brake pedals. Nice solid frame, no rust.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(03/20/2015) One jeep runs.
“I have two Willys Jeep CJ2A a 1947 and a 1948. The 48 is titled, but completely disassembled for restoration. I have a lot of spare parts, including a complete spare motor. I also have a 47 that runs drives and stops. It does not have a title. The tub on the 47 is rusty with patches. I bought a restored CJ2A and lost interest in this restoration. I am willing to discuss prices on parting out or making a package deal. Respond with name and phone number if interested.”

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $6000.
Worth a closer look at that price.
“Title on site , Original engine, 24 volt generator system is in tack, foot push button start, military non-directional tires are 2 years old w/spare, all seats present w/olive drab canvas covers, ready to drive away.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000
(05/07/2014) No pics provided. The title might say ’49, but always check the serial number and other details.
“Google it! Extremely Rare! It’s the Loch Ness of the Jeep Forums! Heard about, but rarely seen! This IS the real thing! 1949 Willys Overland CJ2A Jeep! Only 2182 of these were produced. Original motor and transmission! Will crank! Body in excellent shape! Great project for restoration/history buff!”

I felt better today, but still sneezing and coughing quite a bit, so I laid low. However, Ann spent some time wandering around Alamogordo taking photos (good for her!). She even managed to wiggle her way onto private grounds to photograph a building used in several movies (Fred and Cindy tells us that usually NO ONE is allowed to go inside the gates). I hope to publish some of her photos on Wednesday. We will most likely leave Tularosa on Wednesday.
I got a bit of good news. Ann and I will be the inaugural guests at Red River’s Bed and Breakfast in Fredericksburg, Texas (once the plague leaves me and we can make it there). Tomorrow I will nail down a date with James.
James runs the Red River Jeep Tours in Red River, NM, along with the Uncorked Wine Tour and now a bed and breakfast in Fredericksburg.
How about those bed lights!
