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 .
For those heading to the 2014 Bantam Jeep Festival, registration for the event is now open (online only). This year the Festival takes place June 13th-June15th. You can learn more about the Festival and make reservations at Cooper’s Lake Campground by heading to the Festival’s site; http://www.bantamjeepfestival.com. We stayed at Cooper’s Lake and found it very convenient.

“As described in the title and shown in the scans below, this is a set of three original snapshot photos that were taken around 1950 with diagnostics being the “Kodak Velox Paper” watermarks on the back and in comparison to other dated photos from the same estate. The area is the Florida Everglades somewhere in the vicinity of the Collier and Dade County lines. We don’t know who the uniformed men or the civilians are. The photos are in bright and clean condition though they have corner clipping, tape residue, photo paper curl and even some creasing. They each measure approx. 3.25″ x 4.5″.”
UPDATE: Glenn mentioned a photo, along with this Al-Toy post from 2012. So, I’ve added Glenn’s comment and the photo to which he refers.
Glenn wrote, “All the Overland Heavy Hitters are here. Cast Iron Charlie Sorensen, came to Willys to escape Henry’s Henchmen, Ward Canaday, last of the old bankrupt Depression crew. I don’t remember Mr. Paris, but Colin and I shared Mr. Bell in the photo of the Al-Toy above.”
I’ve seen this photo, but not the included caption.
“This is an original press photo. GH BellPhoto measures 10.25 x 8inches. Photo is dated 09-27-1945.”
For Sale: One of a Kind 1947 Willy’s WWII Military Jeep (CJ-2A)
This Jeep has been carefully rebuilt from the ground up over 3 years by my father, a retired certified ASEA mechanic. Starting from a sandblasted frame, new-off-shelf (N.O.S) parts were used whenever possible. Every piece has been carefully rebuilt and reassembled – you won’t find a cleaner, or more authentic rebuild of a 1947 Willy’s. Lots of fun to take off-road, or cruise around town with the windshield down. See below for details on each component. Thanks! Continue reading →
The pics are fuzzy, but this might be pretty solid.
“1947 willy’s pickup 4×2 with all glass and chrome very little rust for the age,will make a good project truck. Have the motor and turn over but will need to be rebuilt.”
“I have a 1944 Willys Jeep for sale. Original F head motor that runs, manual transmission. Jeep has no rust on it. I had plans to turn it into a fun project, but I went and joined The United States Marine Corps, now its sitting in my fathers back yard. Has the original front seats, frame has been gone through and fully tubed. Roll cage is still there also. Only thing missing on this jeep is the gauges. I am in the process of getting the title switch into a Colorado title, right now it has a valid State of Florida title. If you have any questions, please contact me. Price is negotiable, $2500”
Jeff forwarded this non-running CJ-2A listed as a ’42.
