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: Still Available.

Nick’s got this project for sale.
“For sale is a 1946 Willys CJ2A project with a title. I have begun to get the Jeep running again but don’t have any more time. Was told by the last owner it was driven 5 years ago. This would be a great off-road toy or farm rig.
Engine is stuck. I pulled the head off, and checked the head to ensure it’s within head gasket tolerances. Engine was soaked in ATF for a couple weeks. I rewired and used the starter to bump the engine over a few times, and the pistons moved about an inch. It still needs worked. Good news is the engine isn’t completely seized in place.
Piston condition looks decent overall. 3 pistons look great and 1 has some pitting on the top. From its current rotation, the cylinder walls are all clean.
Frame is in good shape except for the driver rear which is shown in the pictures. The rest is solid with no rust-through spots. Front frame horns are straight. Body is rough as seen in the pictures. 2 tires hold air, 2 tires leak. Slight dry rotting but have almost new tread which are fine for off-road use.
Clutch pedal shaft was stuck but a prybar on the throwout bearing will move the clutch free. I worked the pedal shaft a bit.
You may come view this in a heated shop, and we have equipment to push right up your trailer. Feel free to call/text anytime of day.”
It’s a project for sure.

(05/31/2016) Rough, but is supposed to run.
” I have a 1946 Willys Jeep I think it has the original engine 4 cyl. It has willys Jeep printed on head. Engine runs, very good . I drove it from front of house to rear, several years back. That’s as far as I have drove it. steering was a little stiff, I guess because of large tires. The floors have been replaced with steel checker plate, has a portable boat type gas tank with electric fuel pump. 12v system not 6v. . Needs restoring. A brake line needs replaced. 3200.00 This Jeep is 70 years old, so if your looking for a mint condition one for 3200.00 This is not it!!!! Just had the starter re-built & spark-plugs, points, condenser , on Confederate Memorial day 4/25/16 …….. No Need To Ask If I Still Have It, I will remove ad, when it sells. also, for you out of state folks, Alabama has no titles for cars this old. (look it up)”
