About eWillys
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.
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 .
“For Sale. 1948 Willys Jeep CJ-2a. Project, was professionally restored in the early 80’s but needs some attention. Ran and drove well when it was parked 2 years ago. Been under cover(garage or carport) it’s entire life. No rust, floor is solid, paint is ok. Needs some minor mechanical work but has a 12v system. Is a great classic jeep that has been in the family for years, we just don’t have time for a project. Please email or call with any additional questions.”
“looking to sell a ’48 willys cj2a flat fender has a clean title and collector plates. not running, but can run with minor work such as installing a battery, checking all connections both fuel and electrical(not many electrical seeing how there are no computers) and replacing all fluids. can drive with some time and work. it has a bumper mounted tow bar for easy towing. it has a ford 302 small block v8, and sits on 31 inch wildcat ext tires on dana 44 rear and 28A front and a dana spicer model 18 transfer case. I also have a holly carb that was never used in box. i also have an overdrive for it in a box although its not put together. the entire floor is lined with boat carpet. there is minor rust but it has never seen the beach or salt water so its less than most old cars you see up here. the front seats require new hold down hardware and the bikini top could be more secure.”
Are AVM hubs a newer hub? I’m not familiar with them.

“This is a ran when parked 1948 CJ2A Willys Jeep… 30 years ago. My buddy and I got this in a package deal for a Jeep we’re restoring. It looks to be an old school doodlebug. I have a clear title in hand. Rims are ‘believed’ to be original 16” Kelsey Hayes, I’m no rim expert but a few of us think they are after comparing pictures. Also the bellhousing is either very early CJ or military, you can see how the linkage goes inside rather than the clutch fork sticking out like the later models. Feel free to call/text me any time of day and if I don’t answer I’ll get back shortly. We have forklifts to get it right on your trailer.”
