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 .

Seller would like to see this restored. The grill suggests this is later than a ’46.
“1946 Willys CJ2a – all original with original engine (removed and ready for rebuild). Missing windshield frame, air horn for carb. and crossover tube. Everything else is present, ready to be rebuilt and enjoyed. This thing is awesome and ready to gift your family with the mechanical simplicity of the 1940’s (amazing learning tool for a teenager).
This jeep has spent all of its life in the Big Hole valley on a cattle ranch. We purchased it from the grandsons of the original owner with the idea that we would rebuild it and get it going…however, our circumstances have changed and we would LOVE to gift (seriously reduced price) to a family that is looking for a project to work on together. The brothers could not find the title, so it comes with a bill of sale. The jeep has sat out uncovered for the past 20 something years…it is in need of some serious TLC. The floorboards are rusted away and the under structure of the body needs rebuilt. The sides of the vehicle are in great shape with only a few small holes. The axles are intact and everything turns. The tranny and transfer case turn from the gear side but the main tranny stick shift is stuck in place. Both transfer case controls move and work fine. The motor was removed and stored inside just over 20 years ago pending a rebuild that never happened.
If we don’t sell it within a week, we will part it out. HOWEVER, this is an all original Willys intact and it should be mechanically restored and ENJOYED:) $1200/obo”
https://missoula.craigslist.org/cto/6101578047.html
Both $4000 and $400 listed. I think $4000 is what the seller is asking, but $400 is probably closer to the real value. Seller will lose more than he thinks …. It also has an aftermarket m-38-like body.
“I got a 1945 jeep willys its been parked since 1995 has a 327 chevy engine muncie 21 rock crusher i got this from someone who owed me 5500 dollars im taking a loss so let me know ur best price !!! ”

(07/05/2016) “47 Willys Jeep with Plymouth 318, Warn OD, rebuilt both drive lines, good tires – runs great. I have a lot more info on the various parts that make up this vehicle and will provide via email if interested. I’ve owned this Jeep since 1986 but just don’t use it anymore. It needs to go to the right person that wants to give it a new paint job, and drop the transmission and transfer case to replace a leaky gasket – and get it back into the dunes or other trails. This Jeep has a lot of power and needs to be driven by someone with plenty of off-road experience. It’s not insured, so I’ll test drive it.
