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 $1050.
“1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A. We don’t know much about it. We were told it runs but the starter is weak. It’s just more of a project than we are ready for. Clear title. As is. The tow bar works good and fit’s a 2″ ball.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4300
(10/17/2013) This has at least one military fender. It looks solid.
“The Willys has the original 4 cylinder, runs great and drives good. This is a great hunting or 4 wheeling rig. The body has no rust but does need paint. It is currently registered non-op and does not leave my property and has a clean title. It has front disc brakes/over-drive and hubs front and rear”
In 2009 I hauled up a flatfender body from a seller in Boise (where I was living) to Paul in La Conner, Wa. Since that time, he’s been busy rebuilding it. It sure looks good!
Paul writes, “What you see is a conglomeration of what you brought up here several years ago and a couple of “farm/orchard” jeep’s from Wenatchee plus new parts from major suppliers. it looks good, runs good and is “cute”. I have a roll bar I am going to re-configure (single hoop with stiffeners) that I will install for safety reasons and ad 3 point safety belts, no rear seat so no rear belts. It has 15 inch wheels and radial street tires on it now but a friend of mine found five really nice 16 inch wheels at the Monroe swap meet a couple of weeks ago so sometime soon we will add those with new era correct tires to the “look”
Here are the parts I loaded onto the back of a truck in 2009:
And here is how it looks now:
Mike found this nice 47 CJ in Mobile, Al. at a little car show. He writes, “naturally it was the only Jeep. It is in good shape, it’s not for sale and he said he paid about 5k for it and has had to do nothing to it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
This looks in good shape. It appears to have an early grille.
“The first Jeep Willys is a 1948 bright yellow rag top. The interior and the rag top is in very good condition. Its have been rebuilt from the ground up using all most all the original parts and runs very well. Has been parked for a long time but has been cranked once a week. I want this to go to good people who will run them and maintenance them as needed.”
This runs, drives, and has a rear PTO.
