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.
(06/18/2012) I might be mistaken, but it looks like this was painted with the hood closed. There appear to be lines down both fenders.

Roberto’s friend Mr. Paco, has run into some bureaucracy trying title his Jeep. I will let Roberto explain the details.
Let me introduce you the Willys CJ2A jeep owns by my friend mr. Paco, who lives at Valladolid, Spain. The jeep was found years ago at a farm (barn find!!!) and have belonged to an aristocratic dame, if I´m not wrong.
As you could see in the pics, it has a very curious extended body conversion with short hard-top and that´s the reason to ask your help. We would like to know if this kind of conversion could be done at the States as an extra ordered by the customer, or the institution which imported to Spain. Paco wants to get a tittle for his jeep as an historic vehicle and it seems that here, he needs to claim that this kind conversion was made at the factory. I mean, that this characteristic is “historical”. If not, he should modify again it to be a standard CJ2A jeep…Absurd, and illogical, as the guy who has pointed him this doesn´t care about the possibility of a local conversion made at Spain…isn´t would be this “historical” too? Burocracy, absurd and illogical burocracy…

I responded to Roberto writing that while I knew a small outfit in California created CJ-2Ls by expanding the middle of some CJ-2As, I was not aware of any aftermarket group nor any Willys option to have the bodies extended in the rear (despite plenty of examples of jeeps that have been extended in the rear). Does anyone else know anything different?
Here are some examples of jeeps extended at the back.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
There’s still value here, despite the lunatic who modified the back.
“One of the very first of the civilian Jeeps produced after the end of World War II. The column shift was Willys attempt to break away from the military era and appeal as a everyday driver. This does run and everything mechanically functions. All stock with original running gear. L-head 134 engine, t-90 trans, and model 18 transfer case. This was however the victim of a lunatic that started to fix a little rust in the tub and ended up cutting the rear of the tub up. I have another tub to go with it. Front sheet metal is in good condition and the 2A flip-out windshield frame is in very good shape. This is a great project that is worth restoring.”
UPDATE: Was $3000. **Status Unknown**
This looks solid. It is at four different colors: blue, black, red, and green.
“For Sale 1949 willys jeep… 1959 volvo motor runs great. Body good condition. Street legal.”

This looks interesting. How about that muffler.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
“This is a great piece of history that I have owned for 1976 till present day. It is not perfect as the pictures will show but much better than average for its age. It shows about 20000 miles and I believe that to be accurate it has had all the typical rust of an old CJ that I repaired in 1981 and some of it is starting to show in places . It has a great CJ 3A windshield on it and I also have a CJ 2A windshield frame that needs much repair that you can have with it . I have converted it to a 12 volt system for better starting other than that it is mostly original from front to back it has new brakes and rebuilt brake cylinders so the brakes are as good as good as any CJ2A . Their are some holes drilled in the dash for light switches otherwise the dash is as it should be. And the exhaust system is stock and has a fairly new muffler on it as well and the engine will start and run on the coldest of days sometimes when nothing else will start. I hate to let it go but the time has come for someone else to enjoy it.”
