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: Still Available.
(12/04/2022) No title. Listed as a 1949, the early grille suggests it is a 1946 or early 1947.

“Are you looking for the most amazing project?! This CJ-2A would be a great place to start! It seems to be all here and the body is in good shape. Just needs someone to put it back together! It would be a sweet body swap for a rock crawler or a great build back to original. I’m not sure if it’s a 57 or a 59. No title. I bought it with another one with the intention of restoring them. That’s what I’ll do if they don’t sell. I’ve just got a handful of projects right now and hate to see them sit. Looking for cash. No trades, and no scams. I know all the tricks. Thanks for looking.! Make me an offer! And feel free to contact me with any questions”
Given the Hemet Jeep Club stickers on the sides, this was likely a California jeep at some point.

“Not the prettiest girl at prom, but runs great and body is straight. Has a few mods: electronic ignition, new plugs, wires, water pump, hoses, and valve adjustment. Two fuel tanks with separate filters and pumps for each. Runs great, have extra set of wheels for fatter off-road tires. Used mainly as an around town runner lately, and for “farm work” (dragging and grading the yard mainly).

“Buick 225cid V6
Saginaw 4 speed transmission
Warn overdrive and hubs
Seats were out of an old Alph Romeo
Tilt steering
No top, but the frame for the top is there.
Extra hood that is in better shape than the one that is currently on the Jeep.
This was last driven over 20 years ago. It was running fine when it was last parked.
As it’s been sitting so long, it will obviously need to be gone through as far as brakes, fuel lines and tank, etc.
It been keep in garage for all this time.
Tires are cracking and would need to be replaced.
Selling to raise some funds for my folks’ medical bills.
I’m hearing a wide range of what this is possibly worth, so I’m hesitant to set a price right now and will start by entertaining offers.
I will do my best to answer any questions you may have in a timely manner.
Sale will be cash only and will need to be picked up in Kenmore.”
Unclear how much value is here.

Looks like a good build.
