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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.

Nick’s got this 2A for sale. No description provided.
Listed as a 1946, this VEC could be a 1945 given the rear floaters. That said, there’s lots of rust.

“I have a collection of 1946 VEC CJ2A Jeep parts for restoration or just parts. I was going to restore this but I have an aircraft restoration project that is more demanding of my time.
Parts include: Rolling chassis, (full floating rear axle), with tub, 5 mounted like new 600×16 military NDT tires, engine, transmission/transfer case, radiator, rear driveshaft, drivers seat frame, non-VEC windshield frame, tailgate, hood, front fenders and grill.
Couldn’t find an engine id number in the usual two places/pads but the cylinder head is the early smooth top design. The engine turns over with a wrench and the crank pulley nut looks correct for a VEC.

A ‘ran when parked’ classic build with some old school art on the back. Looks like this was a neat rig back in its day.

“1946 Willy’s Jeep. Mostly stock, has L-134 engine serial number indicates a Willy’s factory remanufacture. Buckshot bias ply non-directional tires 99%, perfect tires for the Jeep. Tons of traction, look old school. Pictures make the Jeep look amazing, in all fairness it is not. Has rust in the usual spots, hat channels and tool box. Tons of new parts, shouldn’t need much to keep puttering around. Price is the price, otherwise will keep. Includes spare running take out motor, transmission and transfer case (both would need a rebuild). Spare axles what not. Also, optional- M416 military trailer with almost no rust, needs tires and paint. Would include with the Jeep for $700. Must sell Jeep before separating any items, thanks.”
