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 .

(08/24/2015) Looks like a good price. Seller thinks this is a 1949, but better check the VIN to know for sure. Has an updated engine some other mods.
“1949 Willy’s CJ-2a. Last of the split window model, only about 700 produced that year.
1.8L Ford Pinto engine (70’s vintage). Original running gear otherwise. Full roll cage, widened front fenders, steering box in front of axle, fiberglass seats, 12V, custom aluminum wheels, custom built replacement fuel tank, bikini top, half doors, full top w/ doors, cheap stereo. Clear title in my name.
This was my daily driver/work truck for nearly 6 years and then 14 years ago I parked it in my garage where it remained until last month. It ran when I parked it, but just barely (was a serious oil burner). I’ve made no attempt to start it. If you’re the lucky new owner you’ll have to pick it up with a trailer.
There’s some rust, particularly on the tailgate and some around the window, but the floor pans and rear corners are solid. The hood is slightly caved with rust on the hinge. It does not have the parking brake.”

THIS IS AN UPDATE. After re-evaluating based on condition, I have increased the asking price.Underneath inspection indicated that the rust that was present when I bought it is not materially different; the previous owner treated it with some magic potion that stopped it. The rust underneath can be repaired without replacing the tub. Fenders, bed, and sides excellent shape.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(01/13/2015) It’s a project.
“1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A restoration project. This Jeep appears to be fairly complete, but it needs a total ground-up restoration. It hasn’t been run since the 80’s. I have been told it was a running vehicle when it was parked, but I have made no effort to test this theory as I’m sure it will need work just to get it to turn over. You should plan to trailer it home. The front fenders and grill are included, they are just not shown in the photos. Jeep has been cleaned up a tad since the pics were taken but still needs more work. Does not appear to have any noticeable rust issues, but it does appear that the front frame horn on the passenger side has been previously repaired. It has been in Arizona since at least 1969 and has a clean Arizona title.”
