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 .
I doubt any of these is an “easy” restoration project.

“No documents – selling as is. $1200 or best offer, but go this weekend. Unsure of year, assuming 1948-1954.”
The jeep is more disassembled than the photo below indicates, but it does give a good sense of the parts that come with it.

“I have done a lot of work to this little jeep. I swapped in a Buick odd fire 231 v6 that runs good. I custom built the headers and exhaust so it is tight fitting and clears everything. The clutch is new and has Novak hydraulic clutch slave. The brakes have been gone through and has a new master on swinging pedals. The tranny (t-90) and t-case (d18) have been completely rebuilt. I rebuilt the front dana 27. The rear axle is a Dana 44 with posi. New u-joints in both drive shafts. All new brake lines and hoses from master to new wheel cylinders.
New custom wiring harness from American Autowire. The tub is not 100% but has been repaired in several areas and has a new floor. It has a saginaw power steering box. Although the hoses are not attached, it steers great. I do have the P/S engine bracket and used pump. All of the lights and turn signals work and the rear lights are LED. New fuel tank and sender. Seat from CJ3A. Lots of other little stuff done. I do have another CJ2A as parts if interested and two spare 225 engines.”
UPDATE: Derek did the initial research and writeup on this project, correctly identifying it as a CJ-2A. Check out the pre-restoration pics and info here: http://cj3b.info/Fire/NewSalem.html
The folks at the New Salem Fire Department near Albany, New York, recently ‘restored’ what they call a “CJ-2B Attack Engine”. And, to be fair, I suppose this CJ-2A has undergone some major changes. Perhaps it should be relabeled a 1948 CJ-2RC (Riot Control) jeep?
