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 .
Buz forwarded a couple different images the other day.
This one is from the Los Angeles Times (pic #8) and shows a jeep among the auto train towards the internment camps in 1942. The caption to this picture indicates the trucks were stopped in the Mojave Desert on the way to the Manzanar Camp.
Driving this jeep is Earle Stanley Gardner, who was the writer of 80 Perry Mason Novels. Learn more about him here in this biography written by Jeff Marks.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
It’s too bad the body was cut.
“1947 Willys CJ2A Jeep that runs and drives great. The jeep belonged to an older couple and they had a mechanic go through the jeep anf fix anything that was wrong. The engine was purchased new in 1975 and has low miles on it. He had cut the side of the jeep so he could get in and out easier. The jeep has all new wiring for the lights, all the gauges work even the gas gauge, the windshield wiper works, glass all good, high and low beam on the lights, all the gears are tight and the transfer case is like new, four wheel drive works great, has lockouts, the tub has been rhino lined, seats are in fair shape, has 16in tires and wheels. The bumper is bent from hitting something”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
What is that on the passenger side, an emergency brake? For $3400 this looks like a good price.
” Military flat fender style jeep. 4X4 with a solid, good condition drivetrain. 134 c.i.d. L-Head 4 cyl. engine that runs strong. The speedo reads 01851, but I don’t have any idea if it is original miles and turned over once or not. Powerful PTO winch that works great. Tow bar attached to the front bumper. New floor panels. Soft top and soft doors included, but it is not a full enclosure. Body is in great shape-no rust. Spare tire carrier has been moved to tailgate and the tailgate is tack welded closed. Everything is original except the front bumper (has a grader blade welded to the original bumper) and the tail lights are replacements. Tires are sun rotted and not highway safe. Clear title. I can deliver the jeep within 100 miles, but no further. Cash or cashier’s check for full amount at the time of pick-up and title transfer.”
This is a project.

I’m guessing it doesn’t run.
“Here is an old Willys Sedan Delivery I have had for 25 years intending to build a hot rod. She has moved all over Texas and been in numerous shops and storage facilities, but its time to let someone with more gumption than I take her. If there is interest, I would sell her or trade/partial trade for a jetski. THe body is remarkably straight, but she is getting rustier each year. TIme to let her go. Email with your cell number and I will talk/text with you or just email is fine. Give me your addy and I will reciprocate fairly quickly.”
