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 .

“I have a 1946 Jeep Willy’s project that I don’t have the time to finish right now.
I have a very nice original frame that is rust free and in great shape
I have the body and fenders that are in excellent shape. The body is about 98% rust free. I have replaced the floor pans as well. There is a small rust spot in the back that I haven’t had time to replace. Other than that body is pretty much complete.
I have the original split windshield that has a crack in the glass.
I have original trunk lid as well.
I have original transmission/ transfer case. May need rebuilt but I’m not sure.
I have original grill, which is very cool looking. It has a broken headlight.
I have original tow hitch.
I have original front axel and original 4 rims in good shape.
I also have some extra steel in case you may want it to reinforce Jeep body some more.
I wanted to finish this Jeep and have it for when my kids get older, but my wife wants it gone and I just don’t have time for it right now.
Let me know if you need some better or more pics. I just snapped a few really quick.”
UPDATE: Still Available

“1948 CJ 2 A – this Willy’s Jeep, has been in the family over 45 years. No rust to be seen under passage seat compartment, little paint boil but solid body. Everything is original. Jeeps this age will make you money, don’t dump money into a newer jeep that loses value. Selling for low blue book value, but better shape than most good book value jeeps.
I grew up around this Jeep (I’m 56 now) it runs and drive good, been parked for most of 20 years. Engine turns over, needs carburetor rebuilt gas runs through it. I don’t have the time or interest in getting it running, thus the low book price.
buy now, rebuild carburetor, change oils, repair seats, tires and its ready to roll for next hunting season CJ 2 – 1948 is $4,500 “
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6300.
Could use some better pics.

“This is an Antique Farm Jeep from a Farm in Northeast Oklahoma. It was last tagged in 1983. Jeep originally had a metal top on it with doors. Because of this, there is very little to NO Rust out in the floor of the Jeep! Not like most you find!

These old Willys are the quintessential Jeeps, more fun to drive than a Disneyland ride, a real E ticket. Makes more conversation and new friends than a jar of Planter’s Peanuts. These Willys are geared low, goes anywhere except the freeway(top speed 45-50mph). Has the “Go Devil” flathead 4 cylinder engine! THE MOST PERFECT beach cruiser ever made, fun in the sun! The vehicle that won World War 2, an historical icon. These are quite rare in good running condition and mostly original. $5500. Still sports the original 16 inch battle wheels! No Smog Certificate Needed. Cheap to insure and register. Kind of a no brainer for anyone looking for the perfect around town transportation that will put FUN back in your driving experience. Beats having porters carry your car across a mountain stream! ( see picture below) Compare with other restored Willys at 8-12000? This is a great deal!”

And cj5 swinging foot pedals with hydraulic brakes and clutch setup, new bucket seats with racing harnesses. also has electronic ignition. Needs a little electrical work done to the gauges.
