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: Price dropped to $6500.

“1948 cj2a has 2.3 Ford original tranny t case runs good drives good stops ok does not come with winch body is solid.new clutch rebuilt motor needs radiator does not cool it well”
UPDATE: This appears to be still available.
(06/30/2019) Tom shared this oddity. This seems to be a late model DJ-3A body and windshield (design for a Koenig top) mounted on a (probably) CJ-2A chassis with a Meyer Half-top. That’s a combo I don’t think I’ve seen before.

“West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional example of this apparently unrestored original southern California example and extraordinarily well preserved 1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A in traditional US Military colors with it’s 134 L head 4 cylinder “Go Devil” engine and full soft top & bikini top.”
==============================
AD From January 2019:
“1947 Willeys JEEP. Amazing original in every aspect. Collector car!!! This is an original paint from 47 Jeep with every option from factory. It is in perfect running order and does not drip a drop of oil. It has California (gold) vintage plates. Everything included including books, spare tire, bed extender (worth $1000 alone) perfect canvas with clear clear plastic panels. Interior is perfect. All running gear like overdrive, 4 drive, high/low work as though new. THIS IS NOT AN OLD ARMY JEEP. This is a CJ or sold to the public jeep from 1947. All works, 6V, battery charger included but it start up first try. It want to be driven more than I get around to. Original pinstripe lettering (hand.) It has great tires, seats, floors. and addition accessories from factor live icebox and other details. This will not last.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4950.
Appears worth a look.
“New clutch and transmission rebuilt 2 years ago. Drove it last summer and hasn’t been out of the garage since. I no longer have room for this fun little jeep.
Seats and top in good shape.
Clean title and current tag.”
The frame rails don’t have any gussets. In my mind, as a former Badger State resident myself, the bigger question is …. there’s a Waldo, Wisconsin?

(09/16/2019) “46 Willy’s Jeep. Original engine. Runs fine. Pretty rust free. Lots of patina. Fun.”
This is the first time I’ve seen a pick-axe mounted in the bow holders. The jeep isn’t quite all original. I’m not sure how the trailer and jeep are matching numbers, but maybe I am misunderstood the first sentence.
https://springfield.craigslist.org/bar/d/alton-1946-willys-jeep-and-trailer/6957481980.html
“I got a all original 1946 jeep and the trailer are matching numbers that means. The jeep runs and drives there is nothing at all wrong with it or trailer have both titles. In very good shape would pass inspection. It’s up for grabs im looking to trade for a nice diesel truck or a newer trucks must be worth the trade. This is a very rare to find with matching numbers jeep n trailer that would pass inspection. For right trade or cash offer I have SEPERATE is about 4000 in New parts leaf springs rebuild kits for motor tranny 8 extra wheels tires and alot more like to get 8000 to sell fast”
Described as “Fully and professionally restored Army Jeep”, it isn’t either (not fully ‘restored’ and not an Army Jeep). That said, it looks like there was a great deal of work done on this. The serial number suggests it is a 1947.
https://richmond.craigslist.org/cto/d/pratts-1945-willys-army-jeep-completely/6982923865.html
“Fully and professionally restored Army Jeep in excellent condition! Only driven 520 miles since completed and completely turn-key. Fully military spec’d with rear seat, jerry can, Army spec paint, military tread tires, tools and more. Fold down windshield, canvass upholstery (no top), 4×4. Rebuilt engine, runs, drives, steers and stops very well with no issues of any kind. This is a super fun vehicle that is great for display, parades, shows or Jeep events. Very authentic, southern Jeep that needs nothing but a new owner”
