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 .
Listed as a 1953, the body is CJ-2A and the frame appears to have CJ-2A front frame horns. This also has a single lever PTO.

“5 new tires.
Runs and drives.
Needs cosmetic work.”
Needs some work, but runs.

“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A up for sale. A bit of a project as body and gages need work but it starts and runs well. I do not need help selling this and do not need to sale.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $900.
I believe this to be a Kelly-branded Braden PTO winch. I think the seller means this is for a Dana 18 transfercase.
“Willys Jeep PTO winch
complete unit with drive shaft and pto for t18 transmission”
This desk comes with drawers.

“This a one-of-a-kind, Willys Jeep desk that is perfect for a Jeep enthusiast or anyone looking for a very unique piece of furniture. This originally sold for $1500.”
I’m not sure how much value is here or what it will take to finish this custom rig.

“I don’t know much about it. My ex and our good friend purchased this from a widow who’s husband was building it, and now I am currently separated and need to sell it as I can not finish the project. No title. Please call or text me to come take a look. I’m in Woodland Park, which is about 25 minutes West from Colorado Springs. I don’t get to my emails often, so a call or text is best.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(03/26/2022) Needs brakes at the very least.

“I have a 1949 CJ3A Jeep for sale. It runs and drives, has a blue bonded title. I got the parts to start the brakes, but haven’t installed them yet. It’s not a rust bucket and would be fine on a ranch as-is, but it needs work. It would be a fun project for someone who has the room and the mechanical ability for a do it yourself project. I am firm on the price.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(02/03/2022) This has an f-head and a big dash mod. The back of the windshield has been covered.

“1948 Willys. 4 cylinder motor runs great, already converted to 12V system. New brakes, fuel tank, carb, all lights work. Starts and drives. 4WD works. Needs cosmetics. Just put $5K into servicing the vehicle, had something else come up. You don’t find many of these around. Put some new rubber on her and drive her anywhere. Ask me for a short video of her running”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(04/21/2022) This may have a body lift.

“We have a classic 1946 CJ2A Jeep
It has two sets of tires and wheels, plus winch and towbar. It was converted to power steering.
Runs well, everything else original and garage kept.”
A set up Dualmatic-style two-lever hubs appeared for sale on Facebook the other day. What made this set unique was that the hubs were private labeled for Kelly Manufacturing. It’s the first set I’ve seen with Kelly’s information on it. I doubt there are many other hubs bearing these stickers.
This shouldn’t be too big of shock, as Kelly also private labeled Kayline tops for sale in the late 1950s. And, of course, Dualmatic was offering to private label their hubs for Sears, Allstate, and other entities.
UPDATE: **SOLD**
This rare Parmley-Bodied sold quickly on Facebook. Not many of these around and even fewer with a hardtop.
I haven’t seen ads with a “How 4-Wheel Drive Works” section quite like these two ads from 1951 have.

I’m guessing this is a late 1940s or early 1950s postcard.
