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 tailgate is advertised as an original agri-jeep 1944 tailgate. The history of this tailgate is unclear as Fred discusses in this CJ-2 thread: https://www.thecj2apage.com/forums/cj2-tailgate_topic45515.html

According to Fred on a CJ-2A forum thread, this photo shows the tailgate that Fred purchased back in 2016.
A tailgate for 1500?
Bob, apparently only about 20 of these tailgates were made. If a person wants a completely original CJ-2 agrijeep, but lacks a tailgate, finding one is pretty near impossible, so the seller basically dictates the price.
Dave I wonder If those preCJ2A tailgates have a serial number like CJ2As do.
Hi Peter,
I did some searches, but could find no discussion about numbered CJ-2 tailgates. Given the discussion Fred had here (https://www.thecj2apage.com/forums/cj2-tailgate_topic45515_page1.html) my guess is that the tailgates didn’t have numbers, otherwise he’d be able to tell whether the tailgate listed for sale was a real one, a repro, or something else.

For that kind of money would pass. Even if I needed one.
