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 .
A reader named Robert noted my interest in an alternative emergency brake. He purchased the one to the right and says it looks pretty good, though he still needs to install it. While this isn’t exactly what I’m seeking, it is a great price at $4.95.
“Can be made to fit many applications. Originally designed as brake cables on Military trailers and Jeeps Unused/Unissued. Handle style and color may vary.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
I like the old school slot mags on this jeep. The body appears to be in very good condition, at least on the outside.

UPDATE: Not surprisingly, this hasn’t sold ….
This sounds like a VEC that has a Dodge Cab on it? No pics yet, but it sounds … unusual.
“WILLYS JEEP CJ 2A,WITH 1953 DODGE CAB,MOTOR,TRANY,TRANSFER CASE WAS CHANGED LAST FEW YEARS BUT HAVE ALL ORIGINAL PART,THIS JEEP IS RARE IT WAS MADE WITH SHIFT ON COLOME,ONLY SO MANY MADE.RUNS STRONG WITH SNOW PLOW,MY FATHER MADE PLOW IN 1950 ALL IS IN GOOD SHAPE.”
As you can see, a couple days ago I updated the site design. I had several reasons for doing this. (1) the drop down menus were sucking, (2) the drop down menus wouldn’t allow me to do the top sliders like I tested (3) the previous design was having some problems in Internet Explorer, and (4) the logo design wasn’t well designed for t-shirts, merchandise and an expansion beyond the web.
The next step in the process is to go back through all my posts and reorganize them into new sections, so changes will be ongoing …

A reader asked about the original size of CJ-2A hood blocks. A quick search revealed this was a forum topic on the CJ-2A Page. Please visit the forum to learn more. I tried to create a quick link to the picture in the forum, but the forum won’t let me, so here’s a copy of the drawing submitted and a great pic of a 1945 CJ-2A which shows the blocks really well. There’s also a CAD drawing that you can find in the forum as well that should help with the blocks.
The photo was posted to the CJ-2A page forum by the forum moderator Sean and the drawing was done by Joe DeYoung.
And here’s the pic and caption of the ’45 willys submitted to the CJ-2A forum by the forum moderator Sean [This is a 1945 photo of a new 1945 CJ2A (photo courtesy Bill Oakes)]:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
It’s a bit pricey for a project, but it does have one of those rare back extenders on it.
“This is a project vehicle I’m not able to finish. Civilian model, All parts included; Pickup bed, trailor hitch, 1/2 metal cab w/ doors, all glass. Asking $3,500 please call with any questions”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400.
It’s a bit rough. I can’t tell if there’s just some surface rust or if it is worse than that.

The console looks a little unusual. I’d like a closer look to see what they have done. It appears to go underneath the seats.
