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 .

“1940s model Willys Jeep
Starts & runs good. The brakes need some minor work, and the front left tire has a slow leak. Aside from that, it is ready to go. There is no VIN number or title.

“1946 Jeep CJ2A with refinished tub and electrical system. Runs on International engine with Go Devil 3 speed transmission (high and low). Needs a little love and attention but will run. Seller is motivated and willing to negotiate. $5000 OBO”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $13,100.
(12/14/2018) Listed as a ’46, the serial number of 207201 and the grille suggest it’s more like a late 1948 CJ-2A.
“Army clone 1946 Jeep Willy’s CJ2A. Jeep has recently undergone a body off restoration and in our opinion considered a good amateur restoration. The frame looks to be very solid and completely intact. The body looks straight and there are a few panels inside the tub that have some minor dings to be expected for the age. The floor pans look good and solid. There are a few patches that have been made under the seat storage area that are not seen unless the storage area panel is accessed.
Over all the jeep shows very well, started right up, gears shifted and appears to be ready to go. The Jeep is a 3 speed manual shift 4WD 60HP “go devil” 4 cylinder and has a top speed of about 50 MPH. The original wheels are paired up with brand new firestone military tires to appear period correct. The odometer shows 9.6 miles since the restoration however the title currently shows 2800 Miles non Actual.”
UPDATE: Still Available.

“47′ Willy’s Jeep CJ3A Project. It was a well known winning ex PRO MUDBOGGER BACK IN THE 80’s . It was retired from racing and became a land mark to find my buddies 4×4 Shop for last 20 years. I bought it while back with intentions of restoring it back to it former glory as a feared bogger. It had WAYYY too much lift and made the 44″ Super Swampers look like donut spares lol so I cut out a full 12” of lift kit and NOW IT LOOKS RIGHT!
Here’s the SPECIFICS: VIN plate still on firewall so I paid thc MVD do a VIN inspection which came back clear. I also paid to have a full background check done on the VIN and it’s been so long since registered it’s been kicked out of the system. Apply for lost title with a Surity Bond person (I have a guy) and hand in all the documentation I already got and you’ll have a title no problem. Or keep it a Offfoad toy. Continue reading
