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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
Looks to have a custom top.
“For sale 1947 Willy’s Jeep cj-2a fully rebuilt engine, new tires, wheel cylinders and master cylinder, new battery, custom-made red white and blue soft top. runs and drives very good 9000 actual miles used several years in Shriners parades asking $7,500”

(10/12/2015) Refurbed, but not restored.
“Vintage and rare 1948 Willys CJ-2a Jeep. Restored with all OEM parts. Motor is original with about 20,000 miles. All new gaskets, electrical runs, seals, seats, gas tank/float, etc. Brand new transmission with about 100 miles. Added stinger hitch receiver for carrying mountain bikes (or whatever). Purrs like a kitten with a top speed of about 43mph. Wish we had room to keep her. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $20,000.
I think the price rules it out as a “perfect father and son project”. Seller doesn’t mention it has a replacement body. It will take more than a few hundred to bring this up to “showroom ready”.
“This willy’s only needs a few more hundred spent on it to become showroom ready, all of the original fixtures are present, including the 6 volt battery. The Vin is buried under a weld on the rt. front bumper strut and it needs a front steering strut kit to even up the steering, runs like a pip with all working lights bells and dials. This would make an ideal father& son project. Here are some of the extras built in…
brand new Kaiser shocks, a re-built carburetor, new U joints, suspension and brakes. 4 brand new 1940’s style 4×4 tire’s, with 2 original tires spare.
Work invoice for other fixed parts available upon request at email.”
UPDATE: Still Available.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500. I have the seller’s contact info if interested. There is some value here, but lots of project left, too.
(01/03/2017) This is a project. It is a flat fender body on what appears to be a 1976 or later chassis. It has an AMC 304 engine and an AMC 20 rear end.

Something a little different.
“1948 willys stock drivetrain with a 1959 Anglia escort body. Car sat for a very long time. Story is two long for this listing but could tell it if need be. It needs lots of tlc. It runs and drives and has great potential for someone with time money and a place to work on it as it is still a project. put in plugs, pts, cap, rotor, new master cylinder, some tires and wheels. Wheels are original 16″ jeep wheels. Brakes need adj, some wiring. Body is good. Wheel wells flaired but no rust after 25 years. Would consider trade for MG. I need more of a practical driver as I have no extra cash to speed up the project. Please text or call Jeff ”
