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 .
Hemmings posted an article about this good looking CJ-2A last year.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
“1946 Willy’s Jeep 4WD. Kept and used @ hunting camp only. Kept under leantoo for years. Brought home to restore but lost interest. Runs GREAT. I made a list of most items needed to restore, ordered and received. All still in boxes. (wiper blade, wiper motor, turn signal switch and harness, top, etc)
Sent to repair shop and had new master and wheel cylinders installed for breakes, tuned up and new battery.
Jeep needs TLC and a home and I need to recover some of my cost. Have original paperwork.”

“For Sale 1 each 1948 Willys Jeep 4×4 with New Paint, Tires and Seats, has a Rebuilt Chevy 327 V8 engine, Roll Bar, ad 225/75R15 tires. Just needs a new front drive shaft and minor TLC. Currently Tagged and Insured.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
(01/04/2015) Needs plenty of work.
“The sale was not completed on this Jeep so it is being relisted . This is a 1945 Willys CJ2A vin#11752 I have all 5 correct data tags. This is a project or parts vehicle . The body is repairable but will need front and rear floor work. The engine does not run it has a cracked valve guide and the head was removed at some point. I do have a running engine that can be negotiated in the price. This is a column shift jeep and all components come with the it. The front frame on the passengers side is rusted near the crossover tube but can be repaired. This is a VEC Jeep which are very hard to find and condition dictates the price other wise it would be well over $7000.00 . This Jeep will be sold with bill of sale and the asking price is $1500.00 if interested please call”
This may be worth a look.

Runs and drives.
“Its a jeep! It runs drivers and stops. Comes with the top. Its the original 6v system.
