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 $9500.

Has had some repairs. Can’t tell much from the pic.
“This Jeep was found 3 miles from my house and I’m the 3rd local owner. It is pretty much a survivor with not much having been modified over the years. (The original wood reinforced rails are still there in many places.) I got it running in 2005 and did a pretty extensive restoration. Metal work was repaired where needed and the transmission and transfer case were rebuilt. New brakes, lines, shocks, leaf springs, seals, fluids, etc. (Everything underneath was new as of then.) I had to find the seat pans, rear seat, and a much nicer windshield.
In 2013 the motor (flat head 4 cyl) was professionally rebuilt by Mac Weld in Carbondale. It should outlast the body. The radiator was re-cored also at this time. About 2 months ago, the original gas tank finally rusted through and was replaced with a new one along with new lines and I just installed a new carburetor.
This Jeep is as mechanically sound as you can get! I have some parts I can include. I also have a set of 16″ rims and a roll bar if interested.
Yes, I have a clean title.
No, not interested in trades.
Yes, I’ll take you for a ride.
No, not much else I can tell you about it but happy to discuss details if you are seriously interested.
Yes, it is a CJ2A not an MB.
Calls returned after 6 p.m.”
It doesn’t appear to have a windshield.

Listed as a 1951, it looks more like a 1946 or early 1947 CJ-2A.

“4 Wheel Drive
Ford Boss 302 Engine – Purchased new from Ford
Ford 3 speed transmission
Warn Overdrive
4.88 Posi – Front and Rear
Chevy power steering
11″ Brakes
Warn Hubs
Best Top
Tow Bar
This jeep has been in our family since the mid 1960’s. It started out as a stock 4 cyl and in 1971 my father purchased a new complete Boss 302 engine from Ford (Carb to bell housing). He upgraded the drive train when he installed the engine. This Jeep had all the top parts available for it’s day. The Jeep was parked in the garage in the 1990’s after my father had a heart attack. The Jeep sat until recently when I decided to get it running. I replaced the fluids, cleaned the gas tank, replaced the battery, rebuilt the carb, and replaced the fuel filter. It started right up and runs great. To make it road worthy it will need new tires as they are 30+ years old. It’s tough to sell but I’m getting too old to enjoy it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
“Old Jeep for sale. Bids welcome, call John Steadman on”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.

The jeep runs and drives great. I’ve had it for about 2 years. I just don’t have the time to restore it and drive it ad much as I want to. I am not in a rush to sell. This is a very rare jeep. Do your research before making a low offer.”
UPDATE: Harry Warholak’s father built a Sidewalk Jeep from the plans in Popular Mechanics when he was a kid in Detroit. Ten years ago he restored it. It spent a year at the Chrysler Museum. Now he’s interested in selling it. You can contact him at 586-996-4103 if interested. He’s located in Georgia.
PREVIOUS POST (February 2013): This kids jeep design was published in the January, 1948, issue of Popular Mechanics and available for free at Google. It is powered by an electronic motor. It looks as difficult to build than a standard jeep! The notes added to this particular issue are interesting, too. The top note appears to reference a 1949 Christmas Handbook that might also include these drawings.
