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 $5000.
“Off frame restored 1949 Willys CJ2A Jeep. Has tow bar and mechanical winch. Great parade vehicle. Runs great, all original engine and running gear. Painted Olive drab, to look like military version. New Tires and many new parts, seals etc.”
There may be some value here.
“I purchased it off of Craigslist about a year ago for $2200. Being a poor college student I haven’t had the time or the money to put into completing it and now it looks like I’ll have to sell it.
It’s mostly a basketcase at this point. The frame is SUPER SOLID no holes and I got about halfway through POR15’ing it. The frame on it’s own just is just about worth what I’m asking.
The transmission is an original T90-A1 model and moves freely.
I think the engine is seized but I think it’s only a dip or a diesel bath away from turning. The block is from a GPW (think WW2 Willys). The Water pump is super rusted.
The carb is a solex type aftermarket single barrel. The oil filter is the standard paper canister kind. It has a 12v coil though I’m not sure if the gauges are 12v also (never got that far).
The Gas tank is in OK condition. There was only a very small pin hole and I used POR15 tank sealer to fix that about a year ago.
The body needs welding work. If you’re good with welding and have some scrap sheet metal it would make a good project. the floor (what always ends up going) is completely missing. There are no original seats.
The axles look solid and move freely. The drum brakes may need to be cleaned but I’ve been told by the PO that they are good.
The windshield folds nicely when installed. The glass is not correct and is something of a hack job sealed in. It would most likely work while driving.
It needs a new steering system. Some PO put a power steering system in and it has since completely gone.
What it has:
Complete hood, grille, lamps, pumps, carb, wheels, frame, brakes, tailgate, pretty much everything you see.
New radiator
most of the aftermarket soft top bow system.
ugly aftermarket roll bar
mild 2-3″ shackle lift with oversize tires.
12v ignition coil
I’m also including:
a front bumper from a wrangler as a replacement for the bent up one that came with it.
Chilton’s service manual for CJs.
Obviously, this isn’t drivable so it will need to be flat towed. E-Mail me if you’re interested.”

This looks solid, though the little paint spray spots suggest patches or sanding or possible rust.

I ran across a story on G503 about the creation of a Nuffield Airborne Jeep in Australia. The details of the build are great!

You can view another Nuffield Gutty on my post about lightweight jeeps.
You can locate them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/#!/RP4WD or visit their website at http://www.r-p4wd.com.
Someone had some left over cans of paint from Fourth of July? Joking aside, there might just be some value here. I suspect the sides have been filled or bondoed as the drain holes appear missing on the driver’s side.

This is a nice looking restoration (though not perfectly stock) for the price.
