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 .
It reads more like a press release than an article. Given its timing in conjunction with the release of the CJ-2A, it most likely was.
The cover image:
This postcard just sold eBay for $6.50.
This auction is set of four negatives showing a family and a late model CJ-2A, determined by the stenciling on the tailgate which didn’t appear until around August of 1947.

“HERE ARE FOUR B&W NEGATIVES THAT LOOK LIKE THEY WERE TAKEN ON A FARM. LOOKING AT THE CLOTHES GUESSING 1950’S. ON THE JEEP YOU CAN SEE WILLYS AND 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THESE MEASURE 2 3/8″ X 3 1/2″.”
Chris notes that this photo is reversed, as the spare tire is shown on the driver’s side.
This appears to have one of the full-size body extensions on it. It runs.

“Running condition drivable”
This just struck me as having potential to be a neat ride. It appears straight and rust free.

“1948 Ford Tow Truck with a 390 V8, Truck starts and runs. Will make a great Street/Rat Rod with some work or great advertising vehicle Real eye catcher. Asking $8,000. Clean California Title.”
The last image contains some ‘facts’. To the best of my knowledge, there’s no data available regarding how many CJ-6s were exported vs. kept domestically. Then, there’s the Kaiser reference which isn’t quite correct either. 1963 was indeed a pivotal year, marking the move away from Willys branded jeeps. But, by that time, Kaiser interests had owned Willys-Overland assets for almost a decade. Instead, this was a re-branding move, a time to ditch the Willys moniker (and its baggage/identity) in favor of the Jeep brand that saw the introduction of the Full-size Jeep line.

“1963 Jeep CJ, runs good, 4×4, bikini top, 4cyl,”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
No declaration as to whether it includes the trailer or not. No description provided.
UPDATE: Still Available?
Listed as a 1943, it looks like a pretty stock early CJ-2A to me. No description provided.

A 1947 “left over from war”, or so the owner was told. Hmmm. May or may not start.

“Friend needed to pay for funeral so I gave her what she needed and she gave me this it was her husband they brought it new left over from war I think she said never ended up used in it it is running great me and brother was going to sand blast it and sell for two Harleys but he is in UT so not working out to fast and don’t need it setting here for ever might start on it but for now it is as seen it’s a lot better then what I see on here for the same price text for more info thanks”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
The fenders and body are odd on this one.
