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 steps have been modified. That’s an odd roll bar style.

“Cj2a ,I have had it 44 years. Ford 2300 cc motor, I have the original flat head motor”
The odometer reads 9471 miles, but the grille pitting suggests to me the mileage is higher? Maybe the actual mileage is 109471?

The use of a differential cover as a hood bump is not something I’ve remember seeing.

“Looking to part ways with my 2a project Parts list in last photo Has title. Willing to put together a package for someone for the chassis and title as a base with whatever else is wanted. Won’t part out until chassis is sold. If bought whole, project needs cooling system, fuel, electronics, and the cage finished… along with some misc. Here’s a breakdown of parts, build your own project. Chassis is selling first. Prices on rest of components are on a bundle pricing and may not reflect separate sale prices. 46 cj2a front clip with title, chassis, links, and axles for $1000”
TJ spotted this custom trailer. Will probably need some work. I’m not seeing any brake lights?
UPDATE: Still Available.
(08/02/2020) It’s listed as a 1945, but looks like a ’47 or ’48.

This July 14, 1955, article from the Auburn Journal (Auburn, California) highlights the upcoming two day trip from Auburn, to Wentworth Springs and on to Lake Tahoe. It also includes a lists of some of the folks participating in the event. You’ll note there is no mention of it being a Jeep or Jeepers Jamboree.
Joel shared this late 1940s ad from the Maine Willys Sales Company of Augusta, Maine. Note the Willys Sign in the background with the early “J” logo. It appears that Maine’s State Foresty Department was an early enthusiast of the new jeep trucks. I was unable to locate the this ad using newspapers.com, so cannot date it at this time.
