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 runs, but smokes. It is listed as a 1948, but appears to be a M-38.

(12/09/2012) This doesn’t run. The drain holes and the tool box are gone. This might have been through a floor replacement.

This has been rhino-lined on the outside.
“I am selling my beloved Jeep. a 1949 CJ 2A The engine was rebuilt two years ago and is very solid, starts every time. Solid trans and four wheel works great low and hi range. A custom made aluminum um 10 gallon fuel cell. Tires are Kumho tires less than two years old, a full roll cage, large brush guard with lights and a second set of tires. The entire Jeep is rhino lined inside and out. This jeep is not perfect but has not let me down. I purchased the Jeep in 2010 and have used it as a hunting vehicle. I had plans on completely restoring it but just never got around to it. I hate to sell it but need to.”
I suspect the seller is wrong about the year.
“1946 CJ-2A , Body is rough,minor rust in left front corner of floor pan. Engine has compression but is not running. 3spd manual trans, pto winch .I pulled the carburator apart, blasted it with baking soda but havent got any further . Just too many projects. Driver seat was removed to work on fuel tank, I have it , it’s just not in the photo. The fuel tank is rusted badly and needs to be replaced. brake cylinders are frozen. vin did not match vin on title, had vin verified by chp and they added a blue tag to the firewall. all paper work is now clear and vehicle can be registered. This would be a fun project for someone that has the time. all questions cheerfully answered”

It’s worth something, but unclear just how deep the rust is. Too bad it sat in the barn, because it looks pretty stock.

This looks great. Lots of good detail photos on eBay. The restorer passed away, which is the reason for the sale. This is a no reserve auction.
