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 $6500
(09/09/2011) This appears to be in good shape.

(11/07/2009) It sounds like it is in good mechanical shape.
“1947 Cj 2A. I’ve owned and had this registered and on the road since 1992.Original 4 cl GO DEVIL engine. The engine was rebuilt three years ago. The body was done last year. The body/floors are solid. I have a fully enclosed soft top that isn’t pictured. Everything that wore out over the years has been replaced. It looks to have app 68,000 miles on it. I have never plowed the Willys. The Willys needs nothing. I’l only selling it because I don’t put many miles on it ( less than 200 per year). email with questions. $10, 000 or best reasonable offer”
UPDATE: New pic with updated paint. Price raised to $14,500.

With new paint:
With original paint:
I am wondering if this was the original paint? This is supposed to have been a civil defense jeep. This sure looks like a good restoration candidate. No Title.
“This is a M38A1 Military Jeep. Data ID plate: 8/1960. Jeep was used by civil defence.
I got the engine running, but have not driven it. Engine runs nice & smooth, no smoke. It has new oil & oil filter. I started it on starting fluid, and then used gas from a temporary tank I set up. Gas tank, Carborator & Fuel lines need a major clean up. I think the fuel pump is shot. (I wanted to make sure this ran before I sold it).
Tranny shifts properly. Hi/Low & 4×4 levers shift freely & it rolls freely as well. Clutch seems to be OK. No brakes. Jeep has heavy duty front & rear leaf springs. I’m no expert on M38s, but it looks to me that 98% of it is there. Everything is original, includes a 24V system and 5 matching rims with original tires. (4 are dry-rotted)
Nobody has started to restore this, it is untouched. There are no batteries included in this auction. Frame is solid with surface rust only. The body is in pretty good, straight shape with no major rust issues except the tool box floor and surrounding area. Look closely at the pictures.
This looks bad & a real rustbucket in the photos, but it’s not how it looks. There is a lot of surface rust & peeling paint & undercoating that make it look worse then it really is. See all picture in my photoalbum at http://s1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff362/3familytree/M38%20A1%20White/
My opinion is that this is an easy restoration project. There is no title, but I will provide a bill of sale. I am selling this to finance another project. You will get everything you see in the pictures. If you have any questions, feel free to ask BEFORE you bid.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
“in excellent shape all stock runs and drives good smokes has new rings rods pistons. have hard top and rag top may trade no junk if your stuff is worth 6500 then i may trade”
This looks in good shape.
“A nice 1947 Willy’s Jeep CJ2A with an Original Aluminum Hard Top with doors and a Bikini Top. This is a multiple year restoration while also a daily driver around the farm and to town (not a full restoration see Photos). Many many new parts and I’ll try to list most. It has seats and seat belts for four persons and a roll bar. Pintle and Ball hitch. All lights work. Has hard to find original glass front marker lights and original dash light. It looks and runs great. One photo shows gauges on dash working while engine is running (good oil pressure, volts etc.). Interior is in good condition, good upholstery and a full truck bed floor mat. Faults: parking brake not working, and steering is loose (I’m used to it) it needs the center Pitman shaft or just drive it like it is. Mileage may not be exact, but it is what shows on the working odometer. Also, this is not and never was a rust bucket. Any surface rust was repaired prior to painting a couple years ago. . . .”
