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 .

“1948 Willys CJ2A. It was being done up to model a WWII Willys MB. It has a rebuilt T90 transmission and CJ2A engine but the tub is a MB tub. The tires are M151 tires. The motor is in great condition. The jeep did run and drive but the starter recently burned out. Has a brand new canvas top and original WWII MB grille . I was trying to convert this over to look like the WWII MB.
I don’t have anymore time to dedicate to the project so I am going to sell it. If you have any questions, please contact me. $6,000 OBO”
Includes a set of dual wheel adapters. Photos aren’t too helpful.

I don’t see any obvious ’42 parts here. Seems to have lots of parts.

(06/06/2014) It’s got a little bit of flaking paint, but doesn’t appear too bad.
“For sale is a 1948 Willys CJ-2A Jeep Runs great with many new parts including: Wiring harness, exhaust, tie rod ends, shocks, original wheels powdercoated, new tires, water pump, etc Has rare Warn overdrive unit Jeep was repainted sometime in the 80’s and has held up OK but has some surface rust, no holes in the body like most of the Jeeps out there. Note: the area near the driver side door opening is not rust, just a spot where the paint came off and is in primer. Serious inquires please contact via email”
“This is a 1958 Willys truck that was built around 2001 it has a small block chevy engine, th350 automatic transmission, three link ladder bar rear end, mustang ll front suspension with power rack and pinion steering, aluminum tilt steering column, A/C, flowmaster exhaust, lokar shifter, new tires and wheels, and just too much to list here without forgetting something a serious buyer can call for more information. I drive the truck about once a week it runs and drives great and attracts a lot of attention. The paint cleans up real good as you can see but it is old and has scratches chips dings touch ups and imperfections and really could use a respray but it is a driver and not a perfect show truck. I do not need help selling the truck I am not desperate to sell the truck just looking to fund a new project. NO PAYPAL, NO TEXT, NO EMAIL, NO CHECKS, NO LOWBALLERS. If you are a serious potential buyer you can call me and make an offer or set an appointment to see it. 17,000 O.B.O.”
