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 .
Unclear if this runs or not. I think calling this beautiful is a bit overstated ….

The body looks to be in great shape based on the one tiny pic.
“1948 red willy’s jeep. L-Head flathead 4, T90 3-speed tranny, Model 18 transfer case. Cracked steering wheel, original. Top speed roughly 45!!! Down a hill, might do 48.. Typical cruise speed 25.. Clean and original but not good for daily commuter unless you’re going to the grocer.”
I can’t tell much from the pics.
“1947 Willys Jeep runs good have title 2750.00 or possible trade”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“This is a very rare WWII 1947 Willys. I put jeep in the title for locating purposes only. IT IS NOT A JEEP MANUFACTURED VEHICLE. It is a 1947 WWII willys, with original engine and drivetrain. The body was hand built by skilled craftsmen in 1974 in the philippine islands. It has a complete stainless steel body. The engine was rebuilt about 3-4 years ago by an ASE certified mechanic. It runs and drives like new and has no problems that I am aware of. It has been used mostly in shrine parades and ridding the grandchildren around on the farm. It has been stored in a climate controlled shop most of its life. It naturally has no rust anywhere on it. The tires are very old and do have signs of dry rot, but have excellent tread and if not going on a long trip, should be fine for several more years. I have heard that several were built in the 70’s, but I wouldn’t think that very many are still around. The vehicle comes with a full enclosure and as far as I can tell all the snaps and attachments are in good working order. The vehicle has never been wrecked or disassembled whatsoever. The miles showing on the speedometer are true and correct. There are no dents that I have seen at all. There are some very lite wear scratches in the stainless body from getting in and out or wiping dust off without the proper cloth. Again these are very lite and would probably not be noticed, but I did want to mention them.”
Brett spotted this interesting find. There are at least 3 unusual features on this CJ. The most obvious one is the paint job; unclear what the inspiration was, but it’s unusual. The second feature is the automatic transmission that has a column shift rather than a floorshift, which is a clever mod. Finally, while I have seen expanded windshields, I can not remember seeing an expanded windshield that uses a CJ-2A frame (with the exception of the one below this post — strange how these things surface sometimes).

Here’s a parts jeep a few hours north of me.
“1948 rolling Jeep Willy’s with tub, Hood, grill, and one front fender. Will deliver to Spokane for $50. (509) 301-4131 day or night. Ben.”

**SOLD**
The seller explains why this was painted pink. Looking past the pink color and it appears this CJ-2A is in excellent condition.
“1947 Willys CJ 2A – two tone hot pink. This flat fender Army Jeep runs great and is lots of fun. It has been kept in a garage or under shelter for the last 8 years. It has been converted from the original 6 volt system to 12 volts and has new breaks on it. It is an eye catching head turning vehicle they people go crazy over taking pictures of it with their cell phones and cirling back to get another look at it. It was painted hot pink by the previous owner in KC who modeled it after Elvis’ jeep he saw at Graceland. The exact milage is unknown.”
