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 .

Brett spotted this Ad. Note the seller will throw in a windshield for additional money….
“For sale is a 1949 Jeep CJ 2a. The jeep is rust free, the engine has been rebuilt and the electric system upgraded to 12 V . (New Starter, altinator, distributer wiring, lightning,…)
New clutch, brakes and suspention has been rebuilt. New batterie.New tires. The jeep is running very well, however it still needs a speedometer and ampmeter, seat upholstery and a windshield( if wanted). I can provided this if wanted at additional costs. Overall a nice almost finished jeep. Willing to trade part trade for guns.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2950.
(11/29/2010) This appears to have the original chrome rimmed tail lights (an upgrade option from the stock driver’s side only tail light).
“Nice straight Willys CJ2A with the split front windshield. About as original as you will find with the flat head 4 cylinder engine. I have gone through alot of the mechanics and it starts and runs great. I have replaced the fuel tank, radiator, seat frames and seats and it has a newer soft top. The body is in fair condition and does have some rust and Bondo. The floors are all solid. This Jeep would make a good hunting rig or could be restored.
Please call Shawn at (509) 346-3212 for more information.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Here’s a VEC #11500 for sale over at the CJ2A Page (Thanks Bill).
This Jeep has no title. The transmission was switched to a later floor shift version. The transfer case may, or may not be original, the early style 4-rib park brake drum is present.
The engine is not the original chain engine, but it is a low serial number CJ-2A 33843, it looks like an early 1946 engine in it.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
This looks like a great price and a fun restoration. It would be useful to see just how this was stretched. This could be a rare CJ-2L. This it the 5th one I have heard about or seen in the Pacific Northwest. You can see other stretched jeeps here. This looks like a good price. This almost looks like an old lefty, too.
“It’s all there but will need complete resto.Was stretched by a previous owner.Wheel studs are broken on front axle,so will not hold wheels. No title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
(11/14/2010) “This is a great original jeep.L134,T90, Dana 18,Dana 25/41 axles.Runs drives good,needs paint.Fist size hole in toolbox.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
(11/15/2010) This needs a little work.
