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: **SOLD**. Was $11,500.

This was for sale back in 2018, but, based on the rear license plate, appears to have sold. Curiously, these new pics show a Florida plate on the back and a Vermont plate on the front.

“his is a 1948 cj2a that runs, drives, and stops. The tub was totally destroyed with rust; the previous owner cut all of the rusted material out and replaced it with heavy gauge steel. The entire floor was replaced, the fender wells were replaced, the toolbox lid was welded shut, and both sides are hand made with heavy steel. It has an m38 windshield on it, new fenders, new shocks, new springs, New gas tank, been sitting outside so looks rough, Have original front seats, four original rims(one non-original rim), tires not so good. willys hood and grill.
The brakes were gone through when the sheet metal work was done. The right front frame has been bent up and needs straightened. It has a later willys l134 engine, might be out of a dj3a. Lights work. Engine starts right up but does smoke. I don’t know if the rings are stuck or not. The oil pressure is great until it gets warmed up and driven awhile, and then reads low. The transmission and transfer case shifts as they should. Good radiator. I was told that the previous owner built this to use on a farm, so did not care if it was original. This would be good for trail or everyday use. Please ask about the title. Craigslist email only. If it is listed, it is still for sale. Don’t need help selling it.”
Has some mods. The steps have been altered.
