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 two page article appeared in the July 1953 issue of Hot Rod Magazine. It’s mostly a photographic spread about the trek over the Anza Trail. Six hundred folks in one hundred and sixty jeeps participated in the trip.
“This is a 1948 Willy’s Jeep CJ2a made by Kaiser Steel in California. These were made by 3 companies during World War II. Kaiser made by far the most of them. They were made to be sturdy and take an extreme pounding. The simplicity of their systems made them really easy to repair and keep on the road. They are great for a fun family off road vehicle. Or for use in parades or other promotional events. They aren’t meant for modern highways as their top speed is around 55 mph. However these vehicles will almost climb telephone poles.
There are not many places an old CJ won’t take you in the backcountry. This has the original L134 4 Cylinder Flathead Engine it originally came with. Not sure about the running condition of the motor. It is numbers matching and all there. It sat in a garage for at least 12 years. According to the original owners when they parked it in the garage it was in running condition. We acquired this thinking of restoring it but then we got another project that needs to take precedence. The only thing not original is its been upgraded to an alternator. This gives it much better and reliable charging than the original 6 volt system”
