About eWillys
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.
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 .

” I am selling my 1948 CJ2A Jeep. It has a NEW 4cyc Old Stock engine! This particular engine is still braking in and has under 100 miles on it… I also said that it has approximately 55,000 miles, I am estimating this as I am not sure if the odomitor is correct… this is truly non-significant, but I did want to bring this too your attention… This engine is in PERFECT shape…Body is in great shape and does (as far as I and my mechanic can see) NOT have any major rust issues…I have put a new Electric Fuel Pump, New Battery, New Tires, New Brakes… it has been converted to12 volts with alternator.
Original CJ2A Split Windshield too, nothing seen as reproduction concerning body, windshield, etc… Please see pictures, this one is a super deal, because of it’s shape, and condition…Plus Warn overdrive, Selectro Mechanical Hubs. It drives very well, the transmission does NOT pop out of gear and it does not smoke…
I have added detailed pictures, and if you have any questions please let me know… I looked for a long time to find a NICE CJ2A jeep that could be fixed up and made nice without a lot of trouble or expense, etc. This is one of the nicest ones around and it took me a long time (over 3-4 years to find)… The biggest need is for the seat to be re-upholstered as the cushion and leather is bad… The seat frames are great… If one wants, it could be painted.
Why am I selling? I am starting a “special” medical clinic to help people and our soldiers who have Post Traumatic Stress Disease. I need to purchase more equipment for the clinic. Please know that my work is still based on donation and all my patients who want help, will get help.
Thanks for bidding, and thank you in advance for who ever purchases this jeep…YOU are doing a great cause to help those who suffer from PTSS, PTSD, Depression, etc.
Sincerely,
Dr. Victor J Wedel”
