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: **SOLD** Was $3000.
This looks good, though the body suggests it is a 1946.
“THE VERY FIRST GENERATION OF CIVILIANIZED JEEPS, THIS BABY HAS A LOT OF APPEAL, 4X4, IT RUNS AND DRIVES LIKE IT SHOULD (DON’T EXPECT SPEEDS OVER 60 MPH) , IT HAS NEW RADIATOR,BATTERY, TIRES, SEATS, AND HAS A TRANSMISSION DRIVEN WINCH, STILL ORIGINAL 6 VOLTS.”
This needs work.

This looks like a M-38 with a CJ-2A windshield.
“great jeep hate to sell but lost job need place to sleep more than my toy car trailer goes with it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
I’m not sure what’s wrong, but it looks very solid. I think those are the same fiberglass seats I have.
“Must sell this 1948 Willys CJ-3A, $2000 OBO, Body/Frame in great shape, roll cage, 289 Ford V8, headers. Great project flat-fender. No reasonable offer refused.”
This looks in good shape.
“CJ-2 Jeep Willys
Restored, runs, 4 speed.
Decent body, but was a tractor.
Painted ‘Patriot Blue’
Lots of extra parts.
Pictures are from when it was done. A bit dirtier now, sat around the garage, but will clean up great.”

(05/27/2012) Those are some Yabba Dabba Doo floorboards.
“I will part this out or sell it hole make offer or it will be going to junk yard soon.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2750
(04/07/2012) This is a project.
“Considering 66 years have passed since this CJ2a came off the line it is in nice shape. Why would you buy a Rhino or gator for your ranch when you could drive a piece of history, this is the first civilian jeep very much like the one our grandfathers won WWII in. Drive Train runs strong, has a slightly later F head engine with a side draft carb instead of a hole in the hood, brakes have been rebuilt, new carb. The front clip is nearly perfect, the tub has some welded in patches and needs some attention. I think the steering box is missing a tooth and the wiring could be redone, but otherwise it is pretty much complete.”
UPDATE: Sold. Was on eBay.
John pointed this out. It includes a video.
“A rare, working, 1952 Willys Jeep CJ2A with an Auburn Jeep-A-Trench trencher. It will dig a trench 6″ wide and 46″ maximum depth. The trencher was made in Auburn, Nebraska by a company that is still in existence today. I have used this trencher 3-4 times a year for the past 6 years. It has been kept in a barn, each time I just put battery in it and it is ready to go. I have used it for installing water lines, electrical lines, drainage tile and rain water downspouts. It was previously owned by a local plumber. It is simple to use and once digging is started you just stand back and watch it work. It runs great and has not overheated in our hot and humid Kansas summers. Brakes are soft and steering is stiff but you’re really not going to drive it any distance anyway. It is self propelled via creeper gears and the digging outrigger can be raised and lowered via an electric motor. All of the standard Jeep CJ2A features are still retained. It was converted to 12 volt then the trencher unit was added at the factory along with a Governor to regulate engine speed, a PTO unit, an additional drive shaft, heavy springs and frame stiffeners. Exact mileage unknown, but it can’t be to high because the trencher has been on it since day one. Comes with spare parts including extra trencher teeth and chain links and owner guide. Have a clear title. Sold AS IS, no warranty. Also for sale locally. I will not deliver. If you arrange shipping I will assist with loading. Deposit payment of $500 via PayPal within 24 hours of auction ending. Balance of payment will be cashiers check or cash. Cashiers check must clear to be paid in full prior to shipping or removal from sellers location.”
