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.
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 .

“Clean title 1946 CJ2A with running small block Buick odd-fire V6. Overhauled brakes, new radiator, new alternator, new distributor, new tires and fuel pump. The body has a decent amount of rust and a nice patina but the frame is solid. The steering box recently broke preventing it from driving and still needs replacement but the car still runs well. There is a roll cage included as well as a tow bar which have not been installed. Lastly, the front driveshaft needs to be installed before running 4WD. This would make for a great quarantine project!
Included:
– Willys CJ2A
– Roll cage
– Tow bar
– Front driveshaft and extra rear driveshaft
– New battery (not in pics)“
Thanks to Jerry for sharing this. The prices vary.

“A 72 year old rust free car that runs great and still holds a lot of its original picket gray paint. Wheels are still original paint woth their pinline under an aging respray. I’ve gradually been rubbing it off to get to the original paint.
Original motor, running strong. Rebuilt brakes and lines, rear end, new shocks, no rust, new exhaust, rebuilt front 4×4 axles, lights, signals and horn all work. Rebuilt carb, reupholstered seats in the original gray Very fun to drive, easy going beach cruiser. Lay the top down or flip the windshield up.
Peppy original 4cyl motor in original condition with one rebuild sometime in the 50’s, according to the metal plate installed on the motor at the time.
Tons of history, tons of originality, and a lot of work to get it running right while looking original.
New tires and innertubes are included as well. These ones hold air and drive but have cracking. I haven’t had time to go get them installed but they’re ready to put on. Same style as those in the photos, just brand new.”
