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 .
Has large front bumper. Hood is a replacement. Has other updates.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,500.
Interesting build.
“Hello this Willys came out of a private collection in Palm Springs. It has been restored with many up grades Vortex V6, speed Trans. Overdrive, power steering and larger brake drums. From the pictures you came see the condition of it. Has all new brake lines, fuel tank, gages rewired, turn signals with E. Flasher, it has plug for towing. The top does fold down and has a cover for top. The seats backs have been moved back about 4″ which makes it easy to get in and out. The paint work is sharp. There has been alot of detail done. The steering components look new. It does have a 2” receiver on front and rear bumpers nicely done. There is two lugs on front bumper for a tow bar tobe mounted but. I have no tow bar for Jeep. This is not a project, it runs and drives. Stops straight and you don’t have to stand on peddle. It does have locking hubs and 2 speed transfer case. Thank you
Additional info: BODY OF RESTORATION. POWERED BY CHEVORLET 4.3L VORTEX V6 DYNO AT 261HP. 4 SPEED SIGINAW TRANSMISSION WITH DANA T18 TRANSFER CASE WITH WARN OVERDRIVE.
I PURCHASED AS IT IS… I DID NOT DO ANY OF THE WORK.
UPDATE: Was on eBay
Lots of custom work on this rig. A couple gauges don’t work.

“Full custom, ground up build with new store bought high-end parts! It is registered and in my name as a 47 Jeep even though the whole thing was built new just a few years ago. There has been absolutely no expensed spared in this Jeep. Body is a very well built and thick fiberglass body, never to worry about rust issues again, ever and it has no cracks anywhere, it is so thick that even the hood close with a thump! The frame is a late model Jeep frame, boxed and reinforced throughout.
Engine is a 350 Chevrolet 4 bolt main, steel crank, forged pistons, decked, lined bored and balanced. Cylinder heads have been completely gone through including larger valves, springs, retainers, studs and roller rockers. Quiet Gear drive, with a mild street cam for long hours of idling. Aluminum radiator with temp controlled electric fan, never gets hot even after running all day. Electronic ignition, hooker headers, chrome or aluminum everything possible on the engine. Transmission is a professionally built power-glide automatic with a manual shift valve body, aftermarket transmission cooler and heavy duty torque convertor, this transmission is bullet proof. Drive shafts are new with heavy duty u-joints and retainers.
Front and Rear differentials have I believe 4:11 gears, been too long and cannot remember, disk brakes in front with Warn hubs and large drums in the rear. Wilwood master cylinders with steel braid throughout. The chassis has an aftermarket front sway bar that is easily disconnected for trail riding and full oscillation. Power steering with remote reservoir make the huge Mickey Thompsons turn easily. The suspension springs are, medium duty in the front and I have two sets for the rear, both included. At the moment I have extra firm springs in the rear for dune driving, in an hour they can be replaced with the extra soft springs for trail riding. Dual shocks (Chrome) in the rear and single (Chrome) in the front. Steering linkage (Chrome) is very tight with absolutely no play at all, this Jeep drives very well and tight going down the road.
This is one of a series of militarize CJ-2As coming out of the Wichita area.
http://wichita.craigslist.org/cto/5972807218.html
“This 1946 Willys CJ2a is finished to look like a WWII MB jeep. It is unique because it has a brand new after market steel tub that was installed a few years ago, so there is ZERO RUST on the tub. Another hard to find is that the parking brake DOES work on this Jeep.
It runs and drives great, and is ready for the parade. Gauges, head lights, blinkers, left and right tail/brake lights all work fine. Engine, transfer case, brakes, and clutch work as expected. Brand new unidirectional military tires. Includes spare tire, jerry gas can and holder. Windshield glass folds out and windshield will fold down onto hood. 12V generator system. Black vinyl seats in good shape, but are used. Drives nice and straight. Cruises with traffic going to the hardware store without any problems. Starts every time winter or summer.
Lots of updates.

The lights on the grille must give the jeep a weird look as it comes toward you at night. Rear cargo floor has been replaced/patched.
“Works good, contact only if interested. ”
http://jacksonville.craigslist.org/cto/5969342937.html
Seems like it is missing an oil filter.

It’s got rear floaters. It just might have an MB/GPW chassis. Looks to have a replacement body.
“Too many projects too little time. Include second grill, and set of fenders. I believe the owner before me started restoring and didn’t get far. From what I can tell new front and rear axles.
