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 .

“1946 willys jeep cj2a.
Body is patched and welded and looks 70 years old but its completely solid. Most of the body parts are heavier guage metal than stock and nothing is weak or rusted.
Engine is an l134 4 cylinder. Runs well.
Transmission and transfer case were rebuilt. New clutch. All work well.
Both axles were redone and work well with no leaks.
Radiator is new.
Brake system cylinders and lines are all brand new and work well.
The steering drives straight and tires are new period correct.
The jeep does everything it did in 1946 and about as well or better.
Its got a clean nj title. Runs and drives well and has been on the road most of this summer.
It needs lights wired in and temp guage and fuel guage wired in. New wiring harness is about 300 to 350. I dont drive it at night so havent gotten around to that yet.
Lots of spare parts come with it.
Im pretty firm on price.”

“Selling my Willy’s, it runs and drives just needs a wheel cylinder for the brakes and probably a new battery, it’s still 6 volt”
Keith shared this Surrey Tribute CJ-2A. The seller incorrectly notes that the DJ-3A was originally used as a postal truck. Instead, they were built as cheap and economic delivery vehicles.
