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 $6500.
A variety of repairs have been done to this 2A.
“90% Restored. Includes new floor, under braces, brakes, shocks, gas tank, wiring, and much more… Was running well. Been in storage for 7 months. Comes with extra wheel rims (see picture). For sale as is. You haul. Best offer accepted. Clear title. Serious inquiries only.”
There’s value here.
“Engine was pulled in 1988-1990 for a rebuild and never made it back in. As far as I know, the trans/axles are still in good working condition, just have been sitting covered in the driveway since then. Frame has some serious rust issues around the front leaf spring rear mount. Hubs turn freely, as does the input shaft of the trans.
Pulled the body off this week as I am building a new frame from 2×3″ and dropping in a fuel injected 2.3 Ford/m5od and a set of YJ axles, so it’s better if I just start fresh.“

UPDATE: Was $3500. *SOLD**
“Solid body w/no rust but not perfect . Mid 80s GM iron dukes 4 motor , run excellent . Rebuilt carburetor. New master cylinder , brakes are in very good shape . Good BF mud terrain tires. Smittybilt winch. Brand new tow bar . Has late 70s jeep rear and front end. This was updated right, make it a lot better on the road , cruise 60 mph no problem , you’d be rebuilding the original flat heads if you tried that . Home made bikini top . No trades”

I’m confused about the prices. In the title the price reads “$4000”, but in the text the prices are different.
“Two Jeeps:
1947 CJ2A – New Trans and Transfer case, and front axle gears. Runs great: $3900
1956 CJ5 – With hunting tower and PTO Winch. Runs great! $4500”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Looks solid. It’s got the wrong grille for a ’46, but that’s minor.
“Own a piece of postwar history! This restored CJ2-A is ready to parade the streets of your neighborhood. I have been the curator of this rolling museum for over a decade and due to some recent life changes, it is now time to pass the baton. As with any old Jeep there is always something to tinker with; but this Willys is road ready. Please call or text with questions. Thank you for looking.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Seller’s description looks thorough.
“Up for auction is a 1948 Willys CJ2A “Universal” Jeep. It starts every time with a simple pull on the choke and a twist of the key, even after sitting for months and moves on down the road like it should. This is a joy to take for a ride and always turns heads and gets honks and waves. The only reason I am letting it go is I need the garage space and I couldn’t abide keeping it outdoors, even for a night.
When I purchased it from the family of the original owner recently, the vehicle had undergone an almost complete restoration including painting of the body, frame and motor, replacement of the wiring harness, new vinyl on the seats and new rubber on the wheels. It retains its original motor and transmission. Additionally an overdrive kit was added. It was repainted in its original Luzon Red with Universal Beige trim.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $400.
(05/05/2014) Clutch needs replacing.
“Probably restorable but not by me. Just put a new head gasket in…good compressoin now. That was one of the reasons I parked it 2yrs ago, the other reason was the clutch and that still needs to be replaced. Rubber is good enough to tow someplace close.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3300.
Looks like the seller was testing paint schemes on the windshield frame?
“Hunters special! Starts right up, runs great, original jeep 4 cylinder.
Includes new bikini top and tow bar. Heavy duty winch.”
There’s some value here. Neither project runs.
“I am selling two early CJ2A projects with a ton of extra parts. There is enough parts to build both jeeps and have extras left over. I have a rebuilt Buick V6 with the adaptors and motor mounts that cost me almost as much as I am asking for both jeeps. There are titles for both. One has the PTO on the trans. One is an early column shift. There are extra hoods, fenders, tailgates and more. One has the frame for a soft top, and one has an aluminum hard top with doors. As you can see in the pics, these are projects that do not run. Willing to consider trades.”
