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 .

“Mechanically sound 1948 Jeep Willy’s.
I’ve done quit a bit of work on this Jeep. It does smoke and will need an engine rebuild. I changed the head gasket a while back and it was .030 over. It does have another rebuild in it. I did add an independent brake boost so this Jeep actually stops.
This Jeep has a title and has good tags thru 2020. This is rare. Liability insurance is $13 a month. Very cheap to own and work on.
Serious inquires only. If you don’t know how to work on vehicles this is not for you. This is a fun second vehicle to run around the neighborhood in. This is a standard and top speed is around 50mph. Not a freeway vehicle.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000

“1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A This is a really a great little Willys Jeep as this is the year the Willys became available to the general public after the war. This is truly a great little restoration with everything from a new carburetor to new exhaust. Has approximately 77K original miles and runs good. Starts up fairly easily and runs strong. Original Flathead 4 cylinder Engine. Has new carburetor, oil filter, fan, newer starter, belts, exhaust, etc. and I’d recommend a new wire harness. Newer seats, and a new cover for it. This jeep shows like a 1946 Jeep Willys with some scratches on the paint and a little rust on the wheels so you know. It has a Clean Title with two VIN numbers listed at 72298@72705. It’s a great little jeep and just one that I’m not going to move and am downsizing.”
