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: Was $500. **SOLD**
Check out the rear end on this jeep. If that’s a modification, then when it was done, it was done nicely (now it’s a bit beat up). If that’s original, then it is rare! I’ve done some searches, but they haven’t yielded any suggestion that this is a production length….
“I am selling a 1949 willys jeep it was running last yaer and I was going to overhaul the moter just never got around to it this jeep is in great shape.

“4WD, 302 Mustang motor, new tires, new paint, all new electrical, new steering box, new glass, new tailgate, new bikini top, auto trans, needs new radiator.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $550
It says it’s never been used, but it looks like the front clip was ready to be installed. If it is in as good as shape as advertised, then this is a great price.
“Willy’s Jeep CJ2A, CJ3A, or MB Fiberglass Tub with Steel Fenders, grill, & tailgate. It’s never been used, no cracks – good shape! Also has a fiberglass tailgate included. There is a frame included if you want it.”

It looks like a nice jeep. If it is really a 1949 CJ-2A (rather than a CJ-3A), than it’s one of only 2182 produced that year.

Is this that barn find you were hoping to run across? 31 years in the barn — no mention if it stills runs.
“49 willys all original,it has been stored in our barn since 1987 and I need the space, priced accordingly, $2000.”
This jeep’s body looks pretty straight. It looks like there is a muffler on the driver side, but none on the passenger side?

UPDATE: The price is now $1200
This is a jeep designed for PNW4WDA racing. This jeep has Formula desert dogs on the rear, but I can’t tell what tires are on the front. The front shackles are reversed. The front clip is all one piece (likely fiberglass). It looks like the body is just a partial metal shell. This jeep should also have a scattershield bellhousing (a requirement for racing). This also appears to have chrome tie rods and a chrome front housing cover. I wouldn’t be surprised if the rear was either locked or welded, perhaps the front as well. This is actually a pretty good price if you want to get started racing in the PNW.
“Race Jeep. Buick V-6. T-14 Tranny. Spicer 18 44 Rear 27 Front. Needs some work. Runs and drives. $1200.00 OBO. Contact Kris @ (253) 219-2208.”
One of the issue’s I’ve put off until now has been the air cleaner. I knew fitting an air cleaner between the hood and carb would be tight, a consequence of the tall Kenne Bell intake manifold. However, I thought I might sneak it in there, but after finally fitting the hood onto the front clip, I discovered that even a low profile air cleaner won’t fit. Unfortunately, the engine can’t drop much more (not that I want to drop and reweld the engine mounts for an extra 1 1/2 inches). The only solution left (that I could think of) was to put a bump into the hood. I REALLY didn’t want to do it. But, I need to keep moving forward on this project, so I decided it was the most expedient solution.
Once decided, I then had to decide the type of bump. After mulling it over, I chose to do a simple bump that follows the lines of the hood. The first step was cutting the hole in the hood. Next, I created a form out of a 2×4, putting a 20 degree edge, the same degree, but opposite, of the angle of the stripe on the body. I laid two coats of fiberglass and resin and let it setup. The good news is that the results are even and the angles correct. The bad news is that I’m not thrilled with the results. I’ve thought about adding some angles to the front to make the bump more interesting, but I think I’ll keep it simple and save the details for version 2 of the hood.
Here’s the hood precut
Here’s the hood with 3 sides cut. I used a cutting wheel to do the cuts and a flat piece of steel as a guide to create a straight line.
