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
(08/30/2013) Seller lists as a 1943 jeep, but it looks more CJ-2Aish to me.
“1943 Willies jeep w/98 Vortec 350, has winch and plow…..looking to trade or sell for pontoon or anything of value or cash. Great hunting vehicle. Calls only 720 275 0547”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
This looks good for the price. The tranny might need rebuilding.
“1948 Wills Jeep CJ-2A Commercial version. Sympathetic restoration, using as many original parts as possible, including both front fenders, hood, tailgate, chairs, instrumentation and wheels. Rust free floor. The good . . . great looking unit, painted in the factory original color of prairie green w/ powder coated 16″ yellow wheels mounted with Cooper military tires. Six volt electrical system retained. Rebuilt engine (300 miles). Rebuilt front axle. Fresh carb, water pump, generator, and starter. The bad . . . tranny makes noise. The Jeep is driveable, but this might be an area for the new owner to remember. The ugly . . . there is no ugly, it’s a Jeep! $5,500.00. Local delivery available.”
This appears worth a look.
“This is a rare find. A 1948 Willys CJ2A with a Koenig Iron Works custom hard top. I’m told there were only 300 of this model made with this custom top. This Willys does not have an engine. I purchased this from a family that started the restoration process with new tires, wheels and lights.”

“1947/48 ?? Willys CJ-2A- PROJECT/ RAT ROD. The only major item missing is the windshield frame. Sale includes an engine that has already been disassembled and prepped for rebuild. It includes new rings, bearings and a gasket set. See photos. A spare engine, transmission and transfer case are included. The body tub of this truck is rough. The frame is excellent. This is a great rebuild candidate. I have rebuilt several of these great old trucks. I just do not have the time right now to start this project.
I do not know the exact year of this truck. I do not have any papers for this truck so it will be sold with a bill of sale only.
Call my cell 631-987-4747, if I do not answer, leave me a message. Saturday and Sunday, you can try calling me at work 631-588-3543, ask for Fred”
