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 appears solid.
“THIS IS MY 1947 CJ2A THAT HAS BEEN REFURBISHED IN MANY WAYS, NEW PARTS ARE ALL NEW BRAKE LINES, SHOES, MASTER CYLINDER, NEW BATTERY, NEW GAS LINES, FILTERS, NEW OIL LINES, NEW GAS TANK, ALL NEW MILITARY TIRES WITH TUBES AND HOLDER WITH UNDER 75 MILES ON THEM, INCLUDING SPARE….PROBABLY SOME OTHER THINGS I DID BUT I DO NOT REMEMBER….JEEP IS MADE TO LOOK LIKE A MILITARY JEEP BUT IS NOT AN ACTUAL MILITARY JEEP, IT IS ACTUALLY A CJ2A, BUT HAS BEEN USED IN PARADES AND MOST OF THE VETERANS DID NOT EVEN KNOW IT WAS NOT A REAL MILITARY JEEP. THE MACHINE GUN AND M1 RIFLE ARE NOT INCLUDED…JEEP RUNS AND STARTS GREAT EVEN IN VERY COLD WEATHER….. SAME ORIGINAL 6 VOLT SYSTEM…..GREAT VEHICLE FOR PARADES FOR JUST MESSING AROUND…..THE ENGINE PURRS AND NO NOISES OR SMOKE….VEHICLE HAS A CLEAN SOUTH CAROLINA TITLE. IT IS A REAL EYE CATCHER WHEN TAKEN DOWN THE ROAD…… ”

“48 Willys Jeep, excellent start to a great Jeep project. Smallblock Ford V-8, Ford full syncro 3 spd transmission, twin stick transfer case. Tub is very good, has a very nice hardtop complete with doors ( missing left side rear glass but it is flat and easily cut at glass shop) Jeep will run and move but as I said it IS A PROJECT. There is no steering gear or column ( has saginaw steering gear mount in place already) The brakes will need gone through top to bottom ( pedal is stuck ) I have a battery to hear it run but it is not included. Engine / transmission, tub and top are worth the asking price, this Jeep has tons of potential. Bring cash and drive onto your trailer. $1500.00 cash only. ”
