About eWillys
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.
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 .
This has some mods including changes to the steering, engine, front cross member and dash. The body has also had work done to it. The seller includes a pic that purports to show the values of a CJ-2A based on Haggerty insurance.
“1947 WILLY’S MILITARY STYLE JEEP
Dad graduated from High School in 1947 so he had to have a 47. The motor has been rebuilt and the vehicle has newly upholstered seats and a vinyl cab. It has no tail gate which makes it military style I am told. This partial restoration comes with a vintage first aid kit. It will start on the first turn. . . . if it has enough gas.”

Thanks to Jim for sharing his old club’s design with us. I just love these old jeep club placard designs! The Hill-N-Gully Riders Jeep Club was founded in 1956 in Riverside, California. The club still exists today and has a presence on Facebook.
Steve shared this early photo of a BRC-60 at the Smithsonian.
