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 .
Edit. Looks like the ad was not legit, so removed the link to the group, took some digging but found some references to the post. Keeping the pics up someone might want to check them out…..Tim
This CJ-2A is a Lefty with a rear PTO and gearbox. Thanks to Andy for spotting it.

“Cj2A tub. Left sided spare tire bracket, called a “left tub” I was told there was only around 10,000 made but either way it’s a half way decent tub that will get your project moving. Better suited for a driver or rock bouncer, or if you’ve got the time it’s restorable.”
This is a lefty with a Capstan winch.

Barney shared this lefty. Note the plaid half-seat. I believe this is home made; at least, I’ve not seen one quite like this (one of the black and white pics in the ad partly shows it installed).

“This Willy’s had quite a few improvements done in 2017 then it was put into storage until this year. The improvements included: new tires, new top & doors, mew brakes & wheel cylinders, rebuilt master cylinder, new steel and rubber brake lines, new front inner & outer wheel bearings, new muffler & exhaust pipe, new ignition switch, new fuel gauge & sender unit, new spark plugs & wires, & new shifter boot. In 2024 a new battery was installed and a lube oil and filter change was preformed. Compression checked good on all cylinders.
This “Lefty” is a project.

Tom shared this 2A, which is listed as a 1946, but the bow holder on the passenger side suggests it is a 1948 Lefty.
