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: **SOLD**
Only pics of two jeeps are provided.

“I REPEAT, THIS “VEHICLE” HAS NO TITLE. NOR DOES IT HAVE SERIAL NUMBER PLATE.
Now that that is out of the way, I have this CJ2a project for sale. As you can tell by the pictures, it is rough. I’d just call it “parts on wheels”.
What you see is what I have. There’s no engine but the transmission and transfer case are present. Axles. Tailgate. Tub is rusty. The frame looks okay – I was going to use it – can’t see any cracks – but you won’t know for sure until you tear it down and blast it. Warn hubs.
The best part is that it comes with a second tub that is very clean. It is in need of isolated rust repair and metal replacement in spots where it was cut-up. This is a package deal, I will not sell one without the other.”
Runs and drives.

It might need the transferase rebuilt.
“We are selling a 46 willy’s jeep with the original “supersonic” flat head engine. I cant say for certain that it is numbers matching but the last owner said it is. It would be a cool toy to putt around in for someone with a little free time and tinkering abilities who needs a little nostalgia in their life. I’m just cutting down on the toys so I can buy an airplane…
It has brand new carb and brand new electronic distributor. The only thing mechanically that could use some attention is the transfer case could use some bearings but it drives as is, just a little loud (remember that it is a 70 year old jeep, not a brand new Cadillac!!) It would be great off road since it is very small. We get lots of attention everywhere we go and it is very easy to take the distances you don’t want to drive it with the tow bar. This is not much money for a toy like this. Look at prices for similar ones! You wont find one in this condition with the original engine for this price. I’m selling this classic jeep for less than some people pay for a nice golf cart! !”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1100.
Unfinished project.
