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 $3750
I’m not a fan of the paint job, but everything else looks in pretty solid shape.
“1948 WILLYS JEEP CJ WITH ORIGINAL 4 Cylinder MOTOR. Has tow bar and game rack. Runs great. Mechanically sound. Everything works. Has been in storage and only taken out occassionally to keep it running.”html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
I’m trying to figure out what color this jeep is. I’m not sure.
“1948 Willys CJ2A, it has a 302 engine with toyota axles.3500.00 or best offer please call for more info”
I decided yesterday to redo my headers to give the muffler a better approach angle. After searching online about how to properly do this, I came up empty. So, I made it up as I went.
The first step required removing the headers’ collectors, because I would have to bend each pipe individually to get the right angles. Since I had previously sawed off the headers’ triangular connection piece, I was also going to have to reattach it.
Here’s the passenger side header with the collector sawed off. Note how the pipes angle right into the front roll cage mount. You can also see the bar I inserted into each pipe to help bend the heated pipe downwards.
Now, with the pipe inserted, I proceeded to heat up the lower pipe with Dad’s oxy/acet setup. I tried my best to heat up each pipe at the bend and then bending the pipe downward carefully. Below you can see two of the three pipes bent.
UPDATE: SOLD
If you are doing some PNW racing, here’s some good stuff for you. Plenty of tread on those tires. The body comes with fenders, hood and grille.
“Bobcat willys flat fender race body complete with seperate fenders hood and grill. Has removalable tailgate and no floor. Very good condition.$700.00
4 co-op front tires. 2 are brand new, 2 have 1 race and 1 spare. 10 desert dogs 2 are brand new and the rest are 60% and 85-90%. $1000.00 for all. Must take all tires. Will not separate.”
This jeep has some great upgrades, but no headlights? I guess it’s been sitting for some time.
“This little Jeep is almost ready to go hunting or off roading. Needs some work, but has a lot to offer. Buick 3.8L V6, K&N filter, Custom Headers, 350 Auto Tranny, Warn Overdrive, Lock-Rights Dana 25 front and Dana 44 rear, 5.88 rear, Disc Brakes on the front, Holly Pro-Injection, 20 gallon fuel cell, new bigger heater with defroster ducts, cloth S-10 seats, tow bar, off road rack, 2 speed winch 8000#, new radiator.”
This looks pretty good for a $500 jeep. It looks like it might be a M-38, though the driver’s side is missing the indents.

Over the past couple of days I’ve continued to make progress. I’ve got the headlights and taillights installed. The headlights had an unexpected complication: It turned out the modern 5 1/2″ bulb wouldn’t sit correctly into the 50 year old mount, so I had to encourage a better fit with my grinder.
NOTE: One set of items I don’t seem to have are front turn signals. I’d like to find a set of the cone turn signals that I believe were on a mid 60s Willys truck like these. If you know of any, please let me know where I can find some.
With the lights attached, I started the wiring process. My main goal is to make it as easy as possible to unattach the body for painting or repair purposes. So, for example, after installing the taillights I ran a flexible tube along the body using some sheet metal screws so that all the rear lighting stayed attached to body. Anytime wiring needs to cross from the body to the frame, engine, etc, I’m trying to bridge it with some kind of plug. So far so good.
