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.
(11/02/2020) I’m not sure which winch that is.

(1030/2019) It appears to be a 2A body, give the ignition switch holes.

“4 wheel drive motor runs need fuel system flushed. Really cool project. Original motor.”

If the body is decent, there could be some value here.

“I have a Willys CJ2A that I am looking to sell or trade. Was told it’s a 1946. Has original motor and trans but the engine is froze up. I have pulled the head and have the valves soaking. Body and frame are in good condition and not rusted out. It does not have a title. Bill of sale only. Looking to get $800 obo or trade on atv, guns, guitars, etc. let me know what you got”
UPDATE: Still Available.
This is an odd one.

“Perfect for someone wanting to restore an old classic. Obviously needs work. Very confident the engine will still run. In its non-running life it’s spent most of its life under cover.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
Could be a good price. (Also listed in big Piney, WY for $4500).
“1947 Willys Jeep Cj2a clear title new clutch new top near new tires new front wheel cylinders. Good running jeep comes with electric snow plow and a Ramsey pto winch. Runs good needs seat recovered but no issues. Fresh oil change antifreeze and gear oil in transmission and transfer case. Not rusted out like all the others kept in a garage. Asking $4000 obo make me an offer”
Bill shared this post from thedrive.com about a youtuber named DJ (youtube channel Limitliss) putting a Turbo 1.3 liter Suzuki Hayabusa engine into a jeep-rod build. He was originally going to install a ZX10R, but found it to be too damaged to proceed, so he switched to the Suzuki engine.
Here’s Limitliss’ ‘reveal’l of the jeep build, but it’s not the first episode (call it episode 0):
This is episode 1:
You can follow the rest of the build here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNbNJv69UAARr6Sqxaq-RqBM10eKKaYkp … there are currently 19 episodes.
The May 30, 1954, issue of the Nevada State Journal reported on the practice maneuvers of a squadron of jeepers unique to Nevada that worked with the local Civil Air Patrols on rescues. Nevada had two different squadrons, one in Washoe County and the other in Churchill County.
As you can see, the squadrons accepted a wide rand of jeeps. One is a slat grille MB, while others are CJs and wagons.
An article in the Hartford Courant on August 05, 1945, did a nice job of combining the initial press photos and press release information.
This likely has aftermarket fenders (note the lip on the fenders near the grille). The body has likely been rebuilt (no drain holes, extended steps). Looks solid.
