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 .

“1947 willys cj-2a, has normal willys rust in the floor pan/ tool box, engine is out and needs rebuilt, all running gear in good shape, have all parts to put back together, entire body bedlined.

However if you want something to toodle around in just rebuild the engine and go.”
Has F-head motor.
“Willys Parts Jeep 1946 CJ2a Many good parts. Latter F-head motor. Very hard to find 16″ wheels.”

“Nice old Willys. Very original and complete!! It was stored from 1979 until recently. All original 4cyl. flathead and 3spd. trans. It now has new brakes (pads, wheel cylinders, spring kits, hoses, master cylinder, and one new drum), new battery, new plugs and wires, new belt, new head gasket, manifold gasket, water pump and thermostat housing gastkets, rebuilt carburetor, new fuel pump, filter and hose (could use a gas tank treatment, but its not too bad). It has nice old tires in good condition, all the guages are functioning and in good condition, it even has nice original wiring in pretty good conditon. Aftermarket underdash heater probably circa 1960s not sure of the core condition. Runs cool, charges at 6.3-6.5 volts, clutch feels good, four wheel drive works great, aftermarket warn locking hubs are smooth as silk. Early bronco front bumper with tow bar (1 7/8″ ball) She’s a great old jeep and I’d love to pass her on to someone who would like to continue the revival! I was planning on keeping her, but other projects and endeavors are calling. It was a Washington vehicle and I have the signed washington title and the two license plates. Come take her home!”

“I have a one-of-a-kind 1946 Willys CJ-2A Jeep. It is probably the most original, most pampered Willys of this vintage you will find. It turns heads where ever it goes.
Originally bought by my grandfather’s best friend, it has been garaged in Northern California its entire life. It became my grandfather’s in 1960, my father’s in 1970, and mine in 2000. It has never been restored, since it never needed it. Re-Painted (off frame) in the 1970s, when the locking hubs and overdrive were added.
90,500 miles
Original PTO winch.
Removable back seat
Selectro locking hubs
Warn Overdrive
Updated Upholstery
