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 .

“Don’t miss your chance to own this piece of American history! 1947 Jeep CJ-2 purchased to modify heavily, realized it is too nice and original. Pictures tell the story.

“1947 Willy’s cj2a – clean title 289 or 302
yes there’s a v8 in this little Betty. still has the 3 speed and transfer case. So here’s the back story on this piece of American history. In 1990 it was a running machine. Then the body was taken off the frame – both were stored in a shed until a year ago, while it sat the aftermarket gas tank, gauges, starter and steering column went missing. The motor turns over by hand. This is a project. like I said it’s been sitting since 1990. I’m asking 1600 open to offers or trades.”
Chris shared this ad. The jeep includes an extra chassis.

“I am reluctantly offering up my 1948 Willys cj2a don’t have to sell it but putting it out there if someone is interested I received this Jeep in Fairly neglected. Motor is very strong and a little unique it has a casting of the word special on the side runs good no smoke transmission and clutch have been replaced a Novak rebuild kit was used on the transmission. Wiring has all been redone and everything functions as it should. Motor has 20 lb of oil pressure at idle and 30-40 running down the road. Transfer case is noisy but functional I was going to rebuild it at some point down the road.
The front of the frame is pretty tweaked so I also have acquired a entirely new frame with axles rebuilt brakes pretty much all ready to go to swap everything on to. Pretty much everything has been fixed does have some rust under the toolbox and a little bit in the front floors. I didn’t do anything to the body because I thought it has great patina and looks good as it is. Lots of stuff has been done to this Jeep feel free to message me if you have some questions or want to get some more specifics. It comes with a clear title in my name and has a brand new bestop tiger top installed. $4800.00”
