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 .
There’s some value here.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
Looks like there is something attached to the underside of the hood. I can’t tell if those are rivets or something else.

(02/11/2016) Too bad the plastic on the top is in such poor shape. Cool old top.

It runs, but has no title.
“1940 Willys jeep with original motor and transmission, 3 speed transmission with 4wd and the engine is a flat 4. No registration or title because it’s so old it’s only possible to have a registration but I don’t have the correct one. Runs and drives to a certain extent. Lights aren’t wired up, has a 6 volt system and seems like it was in the process of being turned into a 12 volt system, breaks don’t work, probably needs a master cylinder and all new wheel cylinders. Open to trades, $1800 OBO”

Looks like there’s value here.

“I am looking to trade my 1946 Willys CJ2A. I have owned it for the past 6 months with the intention of restoring it. The person I purchased it from owned it for the last 35 years and it was stored inside. It had a partial restoration at some point during those 35 years.
The motor runs well and has great oil pressure. The transmission in it was bad and I have since replaced it with a transmission/transfer case from another jeep. It has a new gasket and seal kit and the gears of both looked very good. I also replaced the TO bearing while I had it apart. The clutch and pressure plate looked good. The trans is 90% hooked up. It needs the e brake and drive shafts hooked up.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
Based on the other pics, it looks like this is pretty complete. Could be a VEC.
“1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep. Complete. Great project. Clean Texas title. Engine runs. Comes with new floorboards and braces. Catalogs, manuals and spare parts included”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2000.
(10/22/2015) It runs and rives.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
(02/24/2016) Looks to be a mix of VEC and non VEC parts. The windshield and tranny are incorrect at the very least. Seems to have the correct rear hubs.
“The CJ-2A was the very first model of the civilian Jeeps. 1945 was the first year of production and this is one of those bearing serial number 11086. It is in need of restoration but the vehicle is all there, engine, transmission, all running gear, very good shape for age. The first of the are tagged as “Very Early Civilian” or VEC, which this is one of. Original color was green which is one of the two colors available in 1945. Call with questions.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
It runs.
“1947 willys jeep runs you will not see one of these again. 3500 cash or 4500 in trade. Will trade for boat, or full size car. Motorcycle ( no crotch rockets).”
If this runs, it’s worth a look.
“I have a 1949 Willys Flat Fender Jeep CJ3A for sale. This is a very solid jeep ready for restoration. Runs and drives well, and can be used as is. This one has the high and low range with 4 wheel drive, all of which works perfectly. Brakes are good, and steering is tight. Has a fabricated front bumper/brush guard and towing hitch. Sold with bill of sale only; Georgia does not title vehicles this old.”
