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 .

The windshield lacks glass.
“1946 cj2a jeep runs very well 4cylinder flat head manual trans works well solid body everything works any questions just call”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
Has an early engine. Seller lists this as a 1945, but it’s more likely a 1947 or later.
“1945 Jeep Willys refurbished engine only needs carburetor to complete engine. Body is in good shape the seats are getting reupholster. I need a daily driver I’m willing to talk about price.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
(09/19/2017) Seller will sell all three for $4500. Seller mistakenly labels the CJ-5s ad CJ-3Bs.
“For sale here are three Willy’s Jeeps. These were inherited from my grandfather, then from my father. My grandfather had partially restored the 47 and 57, but they were nowhere near complete when he passed. The work he did on them is almost 20 years old at this point. He was also the world’s worst about titles. I have titles from the previous owner, before my grandfather, for the 47 CJ-2A, and the 57 CJ-3B. The 53 CJ-3B has no title. All will be sold as-is, with a bill of sale. Outdated copies of titles go with the two that have them. I would like to sell all three as a package, but am willing to part with each one individually. $4,500 if sold as a hat trick. Price is somewhat negotiable, but don’t bother lowballing. Details for each are below.
1947 Willy’s CJ-2A: The most well taken care of, of the three, with all parts intact except the seats and windshield glass. Was about 60% restored when my grandfather set it aside. No through-rust or other major rust that I am aware of. Frame is solid, body tub and fenders are solid, engine and driveline are intact and original, suspension is also intact. I was told it needs a complete wiring harness and a lot of TLC to be able to turn the key and have it start. Asking price is $1,500.00.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
“**Somebody come buy this f*** thing. Too many assholes in this world with too much money … come give me some of it so I can live another month impress your girlfriend (or your guy friends, or your other girlfriend).
No, I am not interested in trades. I will not send you extra photos or answer your stupid questions. Bring me cash bitch.
1946 Willys CJ -2a, runs and drives, new tires, was registered and inspected for 2016 and driven around town. 3 speed w/ 4wd hi lo. Fiberglass tub, original nose and fenders. Runs very well. Good shape overall. Not perfect, but a fun old jeep that runs, drives and will turn some heads. Extra parts included.“

UPDATE: Barry worked the phone on this. See his comments below.
Is this the gravity dump bed highlighted in a 1955 Willys News article? It’s not an exact copy, but it’s similar. Both tilt to about 45 degrees. Here’s the article.

This could be a nice rig for the price.
“This is a great running 1946 Jeep Willys. Body is in great shape with very minimal rustish spots. Comes with the soft top in the pictures. Converted to 12v, new starter, new break master cylinder and I am currently changing out the fuel tank to finish with the must does to sell it at this price.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $5500.
(06/02/2017) The body has had some work, as the steps have been altered and the drain holes filled. It doesn’t have a title.
“1946 Jeep Willys, 4X4 with original F-Head 4-cylinder engine. Jeep has been semi-restored, most engine components have been rebuilt to include starter, radiator, fuel tank, carburetor, spark plugs, wires, etc. Jeep has been rhino-sprayed inside the tub, rear and front bumpers, and rear cargo rack…I have military style decals (large star) for hood…Jeep has no title, therefore you would need to get a bond in order to title and register it in Texas…”
