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: Was $5500. Status Unknown
This looks like it could use paint, but otherwise might be a pretty solid jeep.

“1948 CJ-2A Willys Jeep, completely renovated, and runs great. The body was removed from the chassis and stripped to bare metal, nearly all of the panels within the tub area were replace with new after market quality pieces which were professionally welded into place, the underneath was then professionally coated with POR-15 and body finished with a beautiful Metallic Orange base coat clear coat process for lasting protection and beauty. The chassis was cleaned and painted with a rust inhibiting black protective coating. Seals and emergency brake drum where replaced, master Cylinder was replaced along with brake shoes and hardware. The intake and exhaust manifolds were replaced and the carburetor rebuilt. New coil, plugs, plug wires and battery. Complete new electrical harness was custom built, with the addition of turn signals and flashers. New tinted windshield glass, with all new seals and stainless steel hardware. New instruments including a tachometer, new speedometer cable (the ORIGINAL Speedometer was cleaned and oil and kept) additional 12V outlet for Aux equipment. New steering wheel. Seat Belts were added. New seat cushions built with Marine grade foam and Sunbrella fabric with a Tommy Bahama Pattern. One of a kind BIKINI TOP made with the same Sunbrella / Tommy Bahama material. Unique webbing over rear area that is easily removed but very useful in securing items carried in the back. New front bumper with decorative rope accent and mounts for the tow bar. New tow Bar.
Not shown is a new complete “BESTOP” top including doors (Black) — I installed it once — just to get the snaps and hardware in the proper positions. Otherwise it has never been used. I have pictures of it installed — but that was before the painting was done.

Here’s another round of pics from the 1961 Four Corners trip his father-in-law and his father-in-law’s father took. You can see the earlier round here.
Now, for a bit of trivia, the four corners monument is actually 1800 feet away from the real point where the four states meet. You can learn why here.
And here they have arrived at the Four Corners, a place which looks a bit different than it looks now!
A reader named Blaine couldn’t resist getting a shot with this Champ. You probably remember it from this post. Apparently, it’s still available. They do sort of grow on you ….
Blaine writes, “Here is the restored Champ in Scottsdale, AZ with me standing next to it. My son wanted to show me a car lot with collector cars ,and lo and behold, here is the Champ. I’m in Phoenix for the FC Roundup right now.”
