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 might be a good price.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
It’s a lefty. Besides a PTO, this appears to have a very practical parking brake solution. Isn’t that a DJ-5 brake?
“1948 Classic Willy’s Jeep…original 4 cylinder engine with a new carb…runs well…needs brakes and TLC…great restoration project. I just don’t have the time for the project. Stored indoors…previous owner modified the suspension, wheels and tires, added a roll-bar, rear seat and tailgate extension, and tow bar…With some brake and electrical work on the lights, she would be a great off-roader…or restore her to military glory as was my plan…”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3400.
Runs and drives.
“1947 CJ2a in really good original condition! Last owner did a lot of work…body off clean to up of the frame, body work, 12 volt conversion with all new gages, carb.,new clutch, ring gear, mini 12 volt starter! 4cyl engine, 3 speed trans! Receipts for work the previous owner did and I have the paperwork for the clutch, ring gear and starter!
Four wheel drive and hi/lo works fine! Original 16 inch Willys wheels!
Overall ready to work or play…restore…or??
It is NOT a new Jeep…yes…there will be things to tweak, change, etc…that’s what makes a 66 year old Jeep too cool!
But it climbs like a goat and starts in All kinds of weather!”
UPDATE: Price bumped to $6250.

(12/02/2013) This appears to be worth a look.
“This is a rusty dinged up jeep. Dont waste my time by coming to look at it just to tell me its rusty and dented. I know that and now you know that too. Bill of sale available to purchaser. No title.
Frame is solid. No structural rust damage at all. Gauges are intact. All running gear is in place and functional. When gas and battery are hooked up, jeep will will drive on its own power. New wires/plugs/coil/etc. Huge PTO powered Ramsey winch on the back. You can purchase COMPLETE original style steel body kits for these very reasonably. With a body kit, this would be an awesome little keep. Excellent bones. Vin plates/serial plates, are intact.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Does not run at the moment.
“Jeep Willy’s rat rod, Custom fabricated Jeep willys and Toyota/Nissan truck bed together with chevy 350 engine, 4bl carb, auto trans and 8 lug truck axles. 2wd. I purchased off ebay several years ago and had shipped to GA and it ran and lot drove then. (NOT STREET LEGAL, no turn signals/brake lights). frame is orginal jeep with extensions welded on to create longer wheelbase. It appears to be chevy suspension.
It has sat for over 3 years in my shop, so it will need to be towed and gas tank probably flushed out. I do not have to sell and will not accept any offers, just trying to help finance my home remodel/addition if possible if not I will keep this Jeep in the shop until I have time to finish.”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
Here’s one of the odder adds I’ve ever run across. The jeep looks pretty solid.
“Okay here’s the deal.
I have a vintage 1947 CJ2A Willies Jeep. It runs, has a new brake system and is in good shape. Needs body work tho, but not what you think – the tub is actually pretty good shape comapred to most older CJs.
This was the last “barn find” you would ever come across, an older gentlemen in Newville PA had it. A friend of his mentioned owning a jeep but leaving it in a barn. They dug it out from under all the hay and stuff and he sold it. It’s inspection stickers were from 1973, a year before it was put away. This is the sort of thing you read about in magazines.
However I am young man, bouncing from job to job. I live with my folks and they are none to happy about this, so I have no where to put it.
What I am offering is this – you store the vehicle, you get part ownership. Yes I do have a title for it, yes it is in my name. I’ve had this for three years now.
We work it out simple, you have a garage or something and I put you on the title. It still needs a restoration (mainly body work) but we can figure that out.
Basically this is your chance to have your own vehicle without all the hassles and a buddy to help out. It’s all orginal, runs and I have all the paperwork lined up. I’ve owned it for three years, before that it had only one owner – the 90 year old guy out in Newville PA.
Serious inquries only. Looking for people specifically in the Croydon/Bristol/Levittown area but I am open to other locations as right now the jeep is more then an hour and half away at a friends house.”
