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 .
The seller lives in Alaska but is trying to sell this in Los Angeles.

Kerry spotted these pics on a friend’s facebook page. They are part of the Fotos Antiquas de Medellin and may have come from this Facebook page.
UPDATE: **SOLD**
That might be a pretty solid jeep.
“48 Willys CJ2A – Been sitting in the garage for about a year, before that was at a ranch (stored in a garage) since 1981. It ran fine before I put it in my garage but currently not turning over and I don’t feel like messing with it. Clean title in hand. $1600
M416 Trailer – original condition and fully operational, just needs new tires. Some surface rust. It’s also tagged and street legal. Has pintle hitch on trailer and I have the pintle hitch to use with it. $1100 or $2500 for jeep and trailer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $20,000.
This combo is now for sale.

UPDATE: Was priced at $5950. ***SOLD****
“The original L 134 “Go Devil” 4 cylinder engine runs great. The 4 wheel drive works good also. I added WARN locking hubs, Optima 6V battery, had the brake system professionally redone, and other work that I will give the complete history on to serious buyers. Most of the jeep I believe is still original vintage. The tub has a few rust spots here and there, but still pretty solid overall. Fold down windshield has plexiglass that is scratched but still usable for road wind / rain block when you need it. Underneath there are some drips and leaks from some seals and gaskets, but nothing serious. Would make a good fix up hobby jeep for somebody mechanically inclined, or to use as is, as I have done.

Dexter is listing his trailer for sale. He has lots of pictures of it.
“I bought this gem months ago. It is unrestored, unmolested and in IMMACULATE original condition. Must see to believe. When I bought it, there was a thin coat of civvy paint, which came right off with repeated wipes of a wet rag. Under that is a coat of OD, which looks like it was put on 30+ years ago, and then the original OD. The shiny parts that you see are the areas where I applied some linseed oil.
The Good
– Original, unmolested, no-rust, solid body
– Original fenders (from another 1943 Bantam)
– Original data plate
– Original lunette
– Original 3-hole swivel
– Original leg
– Original chains, hooks, and wedges
– Original drawbar
– Original handbrake (works great)
– Original drain plug
– Original BO switch (from another 1943 Bantam)
– Original reflectors (faded side reflectors came from another 1943 Bantam)
– Original 1963 California black plate with PTI sticker
– Current DMV registration to my name
The not-so-good
– M38 rims
– Original 3-hole swivel is broken (I still have it, and it’s fixable. Currently on the trailer is a solid T3C leg, with a solid 2-hole swivel. It matches the paint of the trailer perfectly.)
– Original fenders were modified and are no longer with the trailer (As noted above, I’m including a set of original fenders from a 1943 Bantam. Layers of civvy paint just needs to be removed)
– Some remnants of the original wiring
– Additional holes added on rear crossmember due to bumperettes being installed
– One tail light bracket is not original
– No original tail lights
– One tiny hole on the front-driver-side corner”
