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 $7500. **SOLD**
Looks solid.
“1948 cj2a military jeep clone that is parade ready. It comes with mounted Browning 1919 imitation machine gun. Asking $7500.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
Fine parade rig.
“Attention re-enactors, parade goers, or attention seekers: 1948 Willys CJ2A converted into a WWII MB Jeep. Restored completely 3 years ago with rebuilt original flathead L-134 “go devil” engine with new manifold and rebuilt Carter carb and rebuilt T-80 transmission. Replaced OEM new items are: gauges (all work), gas tank, master cylinder, wheel cylinder, wheel cylinders, brake lines, wheel/parking brake shoes, MB windshield with M1 Garand rifle rack, complete new suspension (4 leaf-springs, shackles, shocks, etc.), new rear axle oil seals, new $600 radiator, exhaust,military non-directional tires, front steering kingpin bushings, gear box, cloth wiring, “beep” horn, front/rear turn-signals installed (front uses blackout grill lights), MB seats, MB canvas and bows, new MB tailgate and tire mount and jerrycan rack, parking lights. The body is not perfect showroom but there is no rust- I replaced the driver floorboard panel and some support hat channels; backseat bed/wheel wells has some welding “patch work” in its 66 years. Barely 5,000 miles since new rebuild. In addition, restored 1978 M416A2 trailer (A2 model has rebuilt actuator braking system with new master cylinder, shocks, and lines), new canvas, new parking brake, and lights/wiring system. Both are converted to 12 volts and are titled and registered. All reciepts are included. Will consider comparable trade ONLY for Dodge WC.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7700.

“listing a very nice 1948 cj2a jeep that has been done in military desert tan color. jeep starts,runs and stops as it should. has perfect body with no rust or dings. has florida title”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was eBay.
This runs and drives. There’s some value here.
“As you can see from the pictures this a 1948 Willys CJ2a. It is in need for a total restoration even though I have used it “as is” for 7 yrs. running it around the Chino airport.
The jeep starts right up every time.
It has been converted to 12 VOLT, thus the charging system works very well.
Has a heater not hooked up, people tell me they are rare?
Shift into all gears, grinds if you go to fast.
The brakes are stiff (not strong), it may just be the linkage or pads, not sure but they should be redone.
The steering is hard to turn? In the pictures you can see it comes with the 3 tie rod ends and the steering link end so that you can renew the steering arms. The shafts probably need grease and or rebuild?
Tires are old, cracked, and warn but they almost never need air.
The body has rust in the corners and some places on the floor have been replaced but seems to be attached well and strong.
Windows have cracks, body has dents
Comes with two pneumatic wiper motors that I was told were NOS.
There are many parts in the pictures that go with the Jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,399

It appears solid. I’m wondering which data plates those are on the dash. The aren’t from a ’47. Maybe repros without a number.
