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: Status Unknown. Was $12,500.
Looks like an interesting build.
“Built by papola off-road 350ci 400hp 4 speed, welder, air compressor, power steering, tilt, chrome everywhere, 35’s call for more info way to much to list $12,500 obo or trade”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500. See Glenn’s comment about the unusual rear PTO gearbox on this.
“We are selling a 1948 Jeep CJ2A. It was converted to 12 volt years ago but the gauges were never switched so they do not function. It has a power take off unit out of the rear. Other than that, it is stock. It has rust over several areas, though none are severe. There is no top for it anymore but the windshield is still fine.
It has a new carburetor, new brake lines and new brake pads. The gas tank is out of it but has been cleaned and the welds tidied up. The engine is a 4 cylinder, and has always performed perfectly in my life time, though it has not been started for the past 5 years since the fuel system has been apart. The tires look to be original so I do not know how much longer they might last.
There is one original seat frame but no cushion and two new boat seats that will easily bolt to the body.
The vehicle was purchased by my grandfather in the 1960’s and used as both a commuter vehicle for several years and then as a farm vehicle after that.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3900.
Never heard the term “T-block”
“1947 Willys CJ2A (Civilian Jeep Model 2A) it has the original style 4 cylinder engine (I think it is called a T block)
– grandpas jeep been owned for well over 35 years in family
– steering assembly upgraded and a new clutch.
– steering gear is new
– engine had new valves and rings a few years back (but not very many miles given use)
– clutch also replaced a few years back (again not that many miles)
– barn stored (better than outside).
– less than 200 miles per year have been put on this jeep (its a vehicle that is stored mostly at a second home)
– pink slip in hand
– mileage not exactly known as odometer is not working.
– runs well but needs a bit of TLC (there is an oil lease but its a jeep from the 40s go figure)
Strong running engine .. but it sits for most the year outside of its 200 miles every year. . will make a great restoration project for someone!”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $7400.
Cody did some research on the “Desert Troop” group. The founder was Bud Adair, who later ran for office. The group was founded in 1972.
I wonder if that hood design was painted in the early 1970s. Could have been.

It’s a project.
“Contracted by Willys Overland during WWII, this Ford built relic is dripping with patina and ready for your next project. It has had an F head motor swapped in in place of the original L head.
This Jeep has been sitting for a long time and it will take some work to get it running again, but everything appears to be there. Bill of sale only, but registering it is as simple as a DMV VIN inspection and a brake and lamp inspection at a certified mechanic. Check out the pictures and schedule a time to come take a look at your next Jeep project.”

Engine is out.
“This vehicle is a barn find and does not run. Motor is removed and disassembled. Front and rear windows have bullet hole. Several rusted-thru spots on lower body. Chrome is in great condition, inside and out. This Willys is cleaned-up and ready for restoration. Will consider all reasonable offers.”
