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 .
Lots of updates.

Barry shared this one. It is being auctioned at Bring-A-Trailer.com.
“This 1948 Willys CJ-2A has been in the seller’s family since 1981 and is powered by a 2.2L Go Devil flathead four-cylinder paired to a 3-speed manual with 4WD and a high-low transfer case. The truck remains in nearly stock condition other than the addition of turn signals and larger wheels and tires. The second owner of this Willys was the Rifton, New York Volunteer Fire Department, who acquired it in 1949 with 1,100 miles. It remained with them until being sold in 1977 with 6k miles to Philip Stokes, also of Rifton, New York. The seller’s father was the fourth owner and acquired it in 1981. Over the last 36 years it was primarily used as an airport vehicle. Recent service includes an oil change and rebuilt fuel pump. This Willys is offered with some service records and a clean Illinois title in the seller’s name.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5800.
(05/10/2017) Runs and drives. Appears solid.
“1947 Willy’s Jeep CJ2A. We are the third owners. It runs and drives great. It looks pretty good too. It has a Jeep V6 and a rare overdrive setup. The seats have great upholstery and the body is pretty straight. It does have it’s needs, but motor and drive train are good. Brand new tires last year. Its a cool little ride, especially around hot august nights.”
It hasn’t run in almost a decade.
“It has been sitting under a tarp for the last 8 years as I was not in the geographical area. The front horns of the frame were replaced, could be done better or replaced. It has a 4 inch rancho lift kit. Front locking hubs, I think the top is still in good condition it has the doors as well. It does not have the original seats, 33 X 12.50 tires I am not sure on the condition of the tires. It has been converted to 12 volt and has a AM/FM radio. The jeep is not running and will need to moved with a trailer. Must have the ability to move it. Cash offers only. I am not in a hurry to sell.”

Both are projects.
“1948 CJ3A Jeep, V6, 4wd with lots of large accessory parts. And two upholstered seats.
Also comes with another Jeep:
1946 CS2A frame roller.
These are both project Jeeps.
I’m asking $3500 for both. One runs and one starts but is a project.”

Lacks steps, but runs.
“Runs good. Extras included: hitch, plow, etc.”

Must have an f-head.
“1948 jeep willys, runs and drives beautifully, 4X4 works perfectly. Has had tons of work done, just needs someone to finish it off (or leave the great old patina and enjoy it). Comes with 6 stock wheels that need new tires mounted on.”

Seller dropped this ’48 body onto a Suzuki Samurai. The battery must be in the box behind the front bumper.
“I have a 1948 willys body stretched to fit on a 88 Suzuki samurai. 4 cyl 5 speed 4×4 with 143,000 miles. Was lifted about 5 inches. Brand new wheels and tires and paint, it is a rough texture bed liner paint. It needs some work here and there to be finished right but can drive. I put over 4K miles on it last year”

UPDATE: Status Unknown** Was $16,500.
I was wondering about the rim choice, but those were rim’s the restorer’s father had for decades. Seller has other rims as well.
“1946 cj2a Willy. This has been a 5 year project. I have over 150 photos of rebuild (frame off). All has been put back to original. Pasture green tan interior, military tires in great shape. My dad has been holding onto these Ford 1935 wire wheels for 40+ years. and I do have a spare once I find a worthy tire. I have original white top and frame along with doors. I have original rims as well (chrome ). To many parts and things have been done to list here. 4×4 works great. I drive it every chance I get… Weekends mostly. She runs great but don’t get in a hurry… She was suppose to be a daily driver to work since I live so close. Took to long on rebuild now need to move onto other projects. I will be happy to text you any additional photos that you want. I do work full time so please make contact after 6 Monday thru Friday. Any time Sat and Sunday.”
