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 .
Given the Meyer half-cab, there looks like some value here.

This militarized CJ-2A looks solid, but it does have a few unusual features, including the fuel inlet and steps.

“1948 Willys CJ2A for sale. It was restored in the late 1980’s by my father. It has an olive drab paint finish, as well as olive drab canvas upholstery on the seat cushions and backs. My father converted the electrical system from 6 volt to 8 volt. The body tub is custom fabricated from steel. The grill and fenders are original. The hood, windshield frame, and tailgate are all original with the embossed Willy’s name. After the restoration, it was only driven in local parades, car shows and local events. We have stored the jeep under a cloth cover, inside a building since my father passed in 2004. We have recently replaced sparkplugs, points, condenser, fan belt, fuel pump and battery. The fuel tank has been professionally cleaned and is in excellent condition. The carburetor has been rebuilt. It has fresh oil and coolant.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $175.
These are very hard to find hubs which I believe were manufactured by the Dana-Spicer Corp

UPDATE: Still Available.
(06/22/2021) Given the front clip, this might be a 3B chassis, though the Parkette body is a low-hood version.
The seller is correct about Paul Parker and the body. But, I believe this is the first version of this particular style that I’ve seen. It lacks the side stripe, has fender extensions, has a little different PARKETTE design on the back, has an extra wide lip around the rear, and looks like it has a side step. Very interesting.

“Rare, rare, rare. 48/49 Willys Jeep with Parkette fiberglass body. Believed only a handful made while Paul Parker was back in Georgia. This one is a bit odd as it doesn’t have the “line” above the fender but it does have flared fenders; the Willys nose panel is original equipment. Not sure it’s on the right size frame at the moment but we do have an original Willys bare chassis on the property we can work into the deal.
Engine/trans present. Very cool project. Needs finishing. No title. Bill of sale only. If the ad is up, the Willys is available.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(12/07/2022) Has some older updates.

“49 Willys Jeepster with mid 50’s Cadillac V8 and automatic transmission. Older amateur restoration. Has heavy plate steel floors. Recent convertible top and side curtains. Fun cruiser. $10,500 Brown’s”
Once the water got fixed (found a retired local plumber who still does small jobs and did previous work on our house, so that worked great), I returned to the cage.
The front “loops” have been bent and added, along with a top and mid cross bar. I also added one side bar, with the other almost ready to spot-weld in place. Unfortunately, I ran out of materials, so I need to get a couple more tubes.
As you can see below, I found a seat placement I like. My head rests just below the top of the seat, so plenty of room for a helmet. Now, I just have to figure out how I want to mount them. I was going to weld in the seat frames, but I think I am going to bolt them. This will make it 1) easier to install the floor pan and 2) allow me to change up the seats/position if I’m unhappy with how it feels.
