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 .

Nice looking build.
“I built this Jeep starting in the summer of 2005. It was completely stripped down to nothing and built from the ground up by myself and my father in our garage. Theres alot of custom work, body being the biggest, i saved the original cowl section and built the body off that. All new sheet metal was utilized in the body tub. Reproduction tailgate, windshield frame, fenders, hood and grille are utilized also. The roof is made by Kelly Ironworks, it’s in amazing condition! It spent most of it’s life in storage. I completely stripped the doors, new window tracks were installed, the original glass is still there, it does have some scratches from over the years. I found keys for the locks so the interior can be secured when the doors are on. The windows roll up and down fine. There is a lockable storage compartment under the passenger seat. Paint is enamel.

“1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A CJ Great Flat fender – (Saint Paul, MN)
1st civilian model
We did a frame off restoration in 1994. (including engine rebuild, tranny rebuild, etc….)
Runs and drives great. It has a warn overdrive (rare), which enables it to go 50/55 mph.
We have owned it for about 21 years. We recently tuned it it up. (Master cylinder, cap, rotor, plugs, and carb adjustment, oil change and pan re-seal, new alum radiator, water pump, and alternator (GM Style).
(pictures don’t show new radiator and alternator)
Tires are in great shape.
4 wheel drive works well, and the transfer case works properly. All electrical works as well. We hate to let it go, but have too many Jeeps. It is only used to plow our driveway – this is not its’ primary function.
Please call with any questions. I prefer you call between 4:00pm and 8 pm. The Jeep is currently in heated storage in Anoka, but can be taken out. (wed evenings work well for me) Please call instead of emailing (I am posting this for my father, he does not do Craigslist)”

“Early 1946 Willys Cj2a that runs, drives, and stops. The body is original and has been patched over the years. Rare column shift (3 on the tree) transmission.
