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 $750
Here’s a neat compressor.
“Vintage 1963 Hesse Hornet powered by a 63 Jeep Kaiser 4 Cyl engine. Engine works by using two cyl to pump air into the compressor while the other two function normally. I haven’t started it but it appears to be in full working order. Asking 750 obo”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000
Joe spotted this wagon mounted onto a 4-runner chassis.
“1949 Willys Wagon professionally mounted on a 4-wheel drive 1987 Toyota 4-Runner Chassis. Registered, Titled and Insured as a 1949 Willys (I have the Toyota Title also). No emissions test required.
Fuel Injected, reliable 4 cylinder RE22 Engine, 5-Speed Transmission, independent front suspension, power brakes and power steering. Factory Toyota wiring harness, everything works. Removable Side Steps, Audi TT Baseball Stitch leather bucket seats, All new glass & rubbers, and keyed alike door and hatch locks. Runs and drives like a Toyota, but has that cool old look.
Daily driver still needs cosmetics. Very rust free for a 1949, planned on adding more sound-proofing, and interior kit. Heater and A/C have not been completed yet.
New Michelin tires and factory Toyota rims/trim rings.
$7,000 with new winch, or $6,500 w/o winch, pretty firm.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $1500.
“I had plans to fix this 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A for use during hunting season, but I never could find the time to work on it. It’s been off the road for a while, but I was told the original four-cylinder flathead engine has little time on an overhaul. It cranks freely with no suspicious noises.
There’s nothing wrong with the Jeep that can’t be fixed by any competent shade-tree mechanic. It needs some basic wiring repair to hook up the new ignition switch, and the brake system has gone dry. The bearing inside the steering column is stiff; I have it soaking in PB Blaster. The Jeep already has been converted to 12 volts, with an alternator, and the gas tank is good. The towbar has a new 2″ coupler.
I do not have a windshield, and the seats obviously need new pans and cushions. There’s a healthy aftermarket for these flat-fender Jeeps, and parts are not difficult to obtain.”
No motor.
“No motor, needs work.
Transfer case and tranny is there.
Not in bad shape for the year.

(10/14/2013) With its new body, this looks like a solid jeep. It has a f-head.
“1949 Willys Jeep, 4 cylinder, 3 spd, new bodytub, new tires and wheels”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
(10/23/2013) This runs and drives. It looks pretty original, except for the hole in the dash.
“This is a 1948 Willys Jeep, CJ2A, 4WD. It has a full aluminum cab. The Jeep has front wheel locking hubs. I believe this Jeep to be all original, or repaired with parts designed for it. This Jeep is the original Utility Vehicle. It is a quarter ton truck, 4WD; a working machine that is ready to use. You can start driving it and using it the moment you get it.
This Jeep runs very well. It starts every time, even on bitter cold January mornings after sitting outside all night. Our routine is to start the Jeep about once every two weeks. It starts readily every time.
The engine was recently rebuilt. Since we seldom drive this Jeep, it has virtually no miles on the rebuild. This Jeep engine is the original Jeep engine. The gas tank has been sealed, the brakes completely reworked. Our price is $5000, but we are willing to consider offers. We would like to sell this Jeep by November 15th.”
