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 .
I suspect this does not have an overhead cam and it certainly is not all original for the year. Brett called on this and the seller mentioned the engine does smoke. The body appears solid.
“1949 Willy’s Jeep 1.34 engine with overhead camshaft everything is orginal for the year, but not necassariy for this particular Jeep. runs good, but burns oil, transmission slips out of second.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800
It needs an engine and a few other parts, but otherwise looks solid.
“Roller, perfect for Buick V-6, Chevy 283. NO rust, frame perfect. $2800 OBO”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
“Cutest thing in town! Draws crowds where ever we go! Brand new Jeep top. Has a starter problem ($60 fix) but other than that it runs great! SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3100.
(08/13/2009) This jeep appears in very good condition.
“1948 Willys Jeep, 4×4, 3.8 Buick V-6 engine, American Racing Mags, original running gears, new convertible top. Rare. Runs Good/Drives Great. Have more pics to send if interested. Phone calls only please”

(11/30/2010) It’s a nice looking rig.
“’46 Willy CJ2A, ’87 4.3 Ltr Chevy Engine, ’91 350 Turbo Transmission, ’72 CJ model 30 front end 27 spline, ’86 Jeep Cherokee steering column, Model 44 rear end off-set pumpkin with posi-traction, CJ 3A Windshield, Dana 18 transfer case, 4 wheel drive and locking hubs, 373 rear end gear ratio, 276 in over drive, Power steering, Power take off winch, 4 extra tires with rims, Soft top and sides, Bikini top, CB ready, 11″ Mercury power brakes”
There is certainly some work left with both Jeeps.
“This listing is for TWO different 1948 CJ2A Jeep Willys, but are being sold together. I’ve had these Jeeps for a while, and was thinking about using both Jeeps to restore into one. For a list of reasons I am not able to complete the project anymore, and have decided to sell them to someone who is. There are flaws to both Jeeps, but between the two they’re great for a restoration! One of the Jeeps has a rare aftermarket aluminum hard top and doors (picture included). I have new parts included with the Jeeps, and FOUR extra original rims!
If you have any other questions you can email me, or call me. Jim (325) 665-7527 (please call in reasonable hours).”

(04/20/2010) Dan spotted this jeep.
“1947 Jeep Willys 4×4…. All Chevy running gear….Including a 4.3 V6 with aluminum intake, 700r4, power steering, tilt wheel, and power disc brakes…. All gauges, head lights, tail lights, and blinkers work great…. It has really nice seats in it…. It has really great floors in it…. This Willys was used for the back roads, so it is not registered….If you want to drive it on the highway (it does great on the road) it would need to be inspected by the DOL….its easier than you think….I will let it go for 3k with out the new 32×11.50×15 BFG muds (they still have the nipples on them) or 4k with them”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000.

im selling this cheap because its an ongoing project and its not without its share of problems. It has come a long way since i bought it and up until recently its been a badass wheeler, but its time for me to part with it. The motor is the main problem at this point it just wont dial in. If i were to keep it i would put a different motor in it. It starts but just doesnt run right, distributor/timing isnt jiving which causes it to overheat and it has a moderate miss. I want to sell it whole but will consider parting out, i would have to sell the axles in a pair Or trans and transfer in 1 before I sell everything else.. after one of those two are gone everything is up for sale.”
