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 .
It runs and drives. I can’t tell much from the pics.

Here’s a jeep plus a ’43 body that looks in at least reasonable condition.
“This is a solid 1948 Jeep CJ2A. . Everything is there including a clear title…the frame is solid…does have a cracked windshield. This old Jeep would make a fine restoration project, which was my intentions however; I have too many other projects to give this great old jeep the attention it needs.Under cover for 4 years. Includes extra 1943 military tub which needs restoration. Seats reupholstered. 90% painted, major rust dealt with before painting. Some light surface rust from sitting.”

(11/20/09) A restorer’s dream? Well, it does look pretty stock, but I wouldn’t call it dreamy.

This might make a good restoration project.

UPDATE: A reader reports this has sold.
It doesn’t look to bad compared to some I’ve seen today.
“1947 WILLYS $1000.00 O.B.O. Great shape for restoration. Body & frame very solid. Not much rust. What you see in the pics is mostly just missing paint. Not rust. Motor & Hubs had been rebuilt years ago. Hasnt been ran in a few years But use to run great. Needs gas tank & brake work. Dont think it would take much to get it running.Family lost interest in it & left it to me. ”
This looks like a nice truck.
“Body: While this is not a gleaming show truck, it is a good looking and solid Willys pickup. The paint is quite presentable and the truck does look nice. As with any older paint job you will find the nicks, scratches and stains. I do not see any signs of significant rust, this is a very solid example of a ’55. If you are after perfection, look elsewhere. If you are after a decent truck that looks good, this could be your truck! Please take a good look at the photos as they are very representative of this truck. If after looking you would like more information please email or call us at 360-416-4995….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
The truth in advertising here? “1952 Willys Overland CJ-3A runs, drives, might stop.” I can’t say I’ve ever seen a grille damaged quite like that. Check out the gear shift in the third pic. It’s also a mix of CJ-2A and 3A.
“Here’s the good: This vehicle runs well. -Starting is accomplished using the factory center foot pedal starter engagement. -The following have been replaced recently (last 4 months) -fuel tank, intake, exhaust manifold, intake valves, head gasket, spark plugs, points, condenser, master cylinder, filters, and oil. -the carburetor and fuel pump have been rebuilt recently. -starts, steers, shifts, rides fine. doesn’t stop well right now. (wheel cylinders need rebuilding, i have the rear kits.) -transfer case works well and is twin stick case. (high/low and 2/4 wheel drive.)”
Apparently, there was a problem with the plugin that crashed the site. Well, things are fixed now! Hopefully, not too many people noticed!
