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 $3000
I’m amazed there is any property like this left at Newport Beach. I suspect the engine is not stock.
“This jeep need somebody who has the time to restore it.”
Either the body is fiberglass or the steps have been modified.

“I have 48 CJ-2A for sale. Original motor, and drivetrain. The body was swapped for a military body at some point, a box was also welded to the rear for more room. This is a huge project, I always wanted to do it but have moved and need to sell. The VIN plate has long been lost so a bonded title would need to be obtained once the vehicle was brought back to running.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600
(09/15/2013) Here’s a trailer that should interest someone.
“1942 Willys MBT 1/4 ton military trailer. Trailer needs restoration but has original tags, a unique rebuild plate, and is a pretty straight restorable project. More pictures are available Asking $1600”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(09/15/2013) Engine doesn’t run and has other updates.
“1958 willys panel jeep 4×4 project. Does not run. 350 chevy 700r4 auto and I think a 208 transfer case. Dana 44 axles front and rear out of a scout 2. Rancho lift kit. Tinted windows. I have the original bumpers. Has title.
The bad:
The engine has not run in 2 years. Starter died and has a fuel leak between carb and the mechanical fuel pump. It hasn’t been driven in 9 years due to the ring and pinion in the rear axle breaking
there’s no front drive line and the front and rear axle having mismatched gears and there is a leak in the brake system somewhere.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000
(09/26/2013) This apears to be in good shape.

This is an all original, numbers matching jeep. It was a barn find, purchased by my father in 2005, from Eastern Washington. He has completed a full frame-off restoration on this project. It is his third completed project (has restored a CJ3B & M38A1 as well) and he is looking to sell in order to free up space for another build. Jeep’s restoration was completed over 4 years. All receipts were keep and total over 9k. Included in the sale is a photo album of original owner with jeep’s history, and photos of the restoration process.

This CJ2A needs nothing, is complete, and was restored to be an accurate representation of the era. All parts that were “up-graded” were done to improve reliability and drive-ability of this project. All original parts will be included with the sale. Jeep has 66k original miles, 1,100 since restoration. Has original number plates & badges. Also comes with original tool kit & manual”
