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: Price dropped to $3000.

“Up for sale OR trade is my STREET LEGAL 1948 Willys CJ 2A. I have way more than the asking price in it, but I’m ready for something new and allowing for a couple MINOR repairs that this thing would need. This Willys is a BLAST to drive. Just point it where you want to go, and the 302 will take you there. Built well.
UPDATE: Still Available.
(12/09/2016) This might have a Porter & Reed hardtop.
“Good looking old Willys with a hard top and doors, original flathead motor, new rings, pistons, rod bearings, head gasket, oil gasket valve cover gasket, radiator…. And a few other things. Great for the farm or a kick ass first car.”

Motivated seller, don’t want this thing sitting around out in another winter. frame is in better condition than the body. tub is in bad shape in all of the common areas. Quadratrac off-road sells a replacement steel tub from fire wall to taillights for $1200 an $300 shipping. Fenders, hood, grille and windshield are all very usable. Pretty complete under the hood but the block is cracked have an fhead block that goes with it. Trans and transfer shift free. The rear axle has no diff or ring an pinion.

“For sale 1930 classic car jeep willy call”
I’m pretty confident that WWII ended in 1945 ….
“This is a 1948 Willy’s Jeep CJ2a made by Kaiser Steel in California. These were made by 3 companies during World War II. Kaiser made by far the most of them. They were made to be sturdy and take an extreme pounding. The simplicity of their systems made them really easy to repair and keep on the road. They are great for a fun family off road vehicle. Or for use in parades or other promotional events. They aren’t meant for modern highways as their top speed is around 55 mph. However these vehicles will almost climb telephone poles.
There are not many places an old CJ won’t take you in the backcountry. This has the original L134 4 Cylinder Flathead Engine it originally came with. Not sure about the running condition of the motor. It is numbers matching and all there. It sat in a garage for at least 12 years. According to the original owners when they parked it in the garage it was in running condition. We acquired this thinking of restoring it but then we got another project that needs to take precedence. The only thing not original is its been upgraded to an alternator. This gives it much better and reliable charging than the original 6 volt system”
