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: New Ad.
(06/19/2023) Here’s a rare lengthened CJ-2A that’s been repainted since we last saw it. The new paint does make it look better.

“I’m looking to sell my 1947 stretched CJ2A this was stretched by a dealership back in the day. I bought this off a ranch in Michigan where it’s been since new. This Jeeps runs and drives I just replaced the brakes on this Jeep. Looking to get 7000 located in vermilion Ohio”
The pics are pretty small, so hard to tell much. I’m guessing this was not an original CJ-2L.

“Stretched CJ body and frame. I do have a title for it”
This is one of the nicest looking 2L’s that I’ve seen. Given it’s proximity to Spokane, it’s highly likely it’s a 2L out of that area.

“1947 Willys Jeep converted to pick-up. Archive photos. Original engine swapped out for older Ford Ranger engine, charging system converted from 6 volt to 12 volt. Starts, runs, needs some brake work. Original engine included in price. Barn stored in winter. Looking for younger, more mechanically inclined owner!”
Andy shared this lengthened CJ-2A. It looks about the same length as the CJ-2Ls. It’s just rare to see one this far east.

“Up for sale is my 1948, CJ2L (cj2a just longer). This was in the same family since the 50s, was on a private ranch. It has 14 inch wheels, and a stretch from the dealership. I purchased this as a back up plan for a couple trips this coming year incase my other jeep didnt get finished. It looks like I’ll finish my other Willys in time so it’s up for sale. I have a clean and clear title, it runs and drives great has a brand new Joe Jennings rebuilt carb on it, needs some brake work (personally I would do the disk brake conversion- about $450)”
UPDATE: Some additional pics added.
This chassis appears to have front frame horns and may have a CJ-2A transmission crossmember side-frame-mount setup. Given it’s been lengthened and located in the Spokane area, I’d bet this is a lengthened CJ-2A chassis (or CJ-2L as we’ve come to call them).

“WILLY JEEP … have questions we dont mind answering 240 four, four 0 21 nine7 any time or 509 two 51 eight3 1seven”
This looks to be one of the CJ-2As lengthened out of the Spokane area. This was listed a few days ago on Craigslist (I think for $1800, but I can’t remember exactly). It lacked an engine.
“I have this very rare Willys CJ6 from 1946
Its a project car and the last guy lost interest.
What you see is what you get, engine missing!”
UPDATE: *SOLD**. The jeep as a whole was sold back in 2014.
(12/28/2017) The hardtop looks to be an early Willys-Overland Worman-manufactured hardtop .. a very hard to find item.
“Cab with doors as seen in pics. Does NOT include tub. Best CASH offer.!“
This looks like one of the lengthen CJ-2As out of the Spokane area.

“Classic Jeep Willys model CJ-3B for parts or a project vehicle. Not sure on the exact year, if you have a trailer come and pick it up.
Don’t know how long it has been at the field edge, doesn’t run.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $4000.
This may be one of the custom CJ-2A trucks sold out of Spokane (or it is a truck chassis with modified 2A body). This might differ from the “CJ-2Ls”, which had extended bodies to match the longer frames. It would be interesting to compare this frame with the CJ-2L frame. The half-top could be a remodeled Worman full-top.
This bottom ad describes a long-wheel base jeep with half cab made of wood. It’s plausible a similar vehicle was made with a metal half cab.
If this builder didn’t stretch this, then it could have been a CJ-2L (it looks about the right length).

“Custom built Willys ready for wheelin! This Jeep was built then stored and never used. Must see in person. Serious inquiries only!
225 Dodge slant 6 rebuilt engine
727 Automatic transmission
538 Gears with Detroit Lockers
Full floater rear-end
New paint and Tube frame
All new wiring kit, winch, roll cage
37 inch IROC Super Swampers”
This 1961 photo of a lengthened CJ-2A pest control jeep with a sprayer unit can be found in the Wyoming Digital Archives. Given CJ-2L’s, those extended CJ-2As that appear to have been modified in Spokane and sometimes re-stamped as CJ-2L, were sold out of both Spokane and Montana (see ad examples at the bottom), it is highly probable this could have found its way from either location.
This particular jeep likely has a Porter-Reed aluminum half-cab.

CJ-2L long-wheel-base and CJ-2A extended ads:
This January 1953 ad seems the clearest in terms of a long-wheel-base CJ-2A. Other dealers in the Spokane and Missoula areas carried “lengthened”, “extended” or “long-wheel-base” CJ-2As as well. I believe the ‘extended’ jeeps were likely ones with extended rears, though whether that meant a permanent extension or a bolt on extension is not clear to me.
Fields Motor Company was in Dishman, Washington, which has since been absorbed by suburban Spokane.

Here’s an example from 1949. Sandifur Motors was profiled earlier this year:

Here’s an example of one ad from 1951. Burhart was a dealer out of Spokane, Washington.
February 18, 1951, Spokesman Review
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $300.
Could be of interest to the right person. Looks similar to a CJ-2L, but this is more likely a one-off build.
“this is a cj3a body and frame that has been stretched,has willys tailgate and grill and hood, ok condition, no title, set up for chevy and 700r4, i think it would make a nice rat rod”
