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: Still Available
(10/08/2012) The drain holes have been filled. The windshield leans back a bit too far. The jeep’s front bumper looks built for heavy duty.
“48 Willys. It runs really good! Great restoration project for someone. I just don’t have the time for it. $1,500 OBO. Come check it out. Thanks.”

(09/03/2013) Apparently has a cooling pressure problem.
“Up for sale is a 1948 Willys Jeep CJ-2A. This is an awesome jeep, but it needs to go to someone who can drive it more. This jeep has many modern upgrades that has made it much easier and safer to drive, it has been converted to a 12V system, has had lap seatbelts installed, electric fuel pump, lockable front hubs, and a tilt steering column with power steering. It has a Carter YS single barrel carburetor that has just been rebuilt. It was restored approximately ten years ago by the previous owner and had the frame and body cleaned and painted top to bottom inside and out. The jeep has the original frame and body, with the engine and transmission being rebuilt approximately four years ago, also the original transfer case and axles all in great shape. Both differentials have had new fluid with in the last 50 miles.
The jeep runs and drives but upon start up the cooling system has a lot of pressure and prevents it from being driven for long distances. It ran and drove no problem when we stored it and after a year we got it back out replaced the fuel pump, head gasket, and had the carb rebuilt, but still has high pressure in the cooling system. In the photos you will notices aftermarket seats and tail lights, both can be converted back with minor fabrication. Included in the sale is a set of original seat frames (not pictured). Please email for additional information or pictures”

There might be some value here.
“Great project. Has rebuilt transmission and transfer case, new clutch kit, 12 volt starter, master cylinder, and the carb was rebuilt. Have all receipts for parts purchased. Parts are included but not installed. Original 4 cyl, ran about a year ago, before tear down for trans and clutch work. We started the work and fell into another project that caught our eye, this one has to go. There is a title from Louisiana, but it is not signed or notarized so it will need someone who is willing to do some leg work.”
