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: Still Availalble.

(03/20/2018) Lots of mods here. It includes a WARN OD.
“Offered for sale is this 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A. The Willys has a Buick V6 conversion that runs and drives great. The vehicle also has a GM SM420 transmission conversion that works excellent. It is equipped with a granny low gear and a Dana 18 transfer case w/ Warn Overdrive. 4-Wheel High and Low both function properly as well. The axle’s are Dana 44 front and rear. The suspension, axles, and part of donor frame have been welded to the original/existing frame. As one can see from the photos the body is a little rough but as stated above the vehicle runs and drives. This vehicle could crawl off road trails right now or could be a great blank canvas for someone to build on. The vehicle has a clean CA title. Off road use only. No plates or reg. Asking only $3,500!”
One place I’ve yet to reach is Russell’s Travel Center, a gas stop on historic Route 66 along I-40, exit 369, Glen Rio, New Mexico. Don recently stopped in their to take photos of their 1948 CJ-2A, along with some other vehicles. This year, on my return trip, I plan to stop and see it!
UPDATE II: Thanks to Fred, we have a facebook link to a couple color photos and a link to diaries (in French) thanks to the Guy’s grandson David: http://www.vehiculesmilitaires.com/viewtopic.php?f=159&t=355&hilit=sauterelle
UPDATE: Jalopnik published this story in March 2017 that gives more background to photos Charles forwarded back in 2015 (see pics below). I couldn’t find much info on the trip pat the time.

I’ve been playing with some t-shirt designs. I’ve narrowed it down to three. Any thoughts?
This one is ‘louder’ and more colorful:
I didn’t overthink this one too much. Just whipped it together:
The Portland Swapmeet is this weekend. Ted spotted a couples items.
First up, this project CJ-2A with a fiberglass(?) body. Only $500.
Looking for something less budget conscious? How about this $35,000 sign?
