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 $700.

“I have for sale a complete CJ2A. No title and ID tags on jeep are missing. I believe it to be later ’46 or ’47 as it has the older style bell crank and drag link. Motor, (#J186141), runs very well and cooling system holds coolant. Transmission and clutch work, are complete and unit moves under its own power. Brakes need work. Body is visually not bad but floors are rusty. Frame is pretty decent. There is some repairable rust that is not structural…yet. Gauges are complete. Original floor starter. seat frames good. windshield frame good. Hood and grill are not bad. Original 16″ rims with chrome trim rings. Very good raw material for restoration or just to used for beating around off road.”
Body looks good.
