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 .
This may be worth a look.

This runs. Looks in pretty good shape, but does need some work.
“Runs good…..needs some work; “like all old jeeps.” To make street ready; need to fix tail lights.
For the most part this is original with a few exceptions; 12 volt conversion, new manifolds, larger fuel tank, added roll bar.
Low rust, however the windshield does have a poor rusted arm that was sent for repair. I was not happy with the repair and the shop also cracked one side of the glass.
I purchased this jeep from a person who had it stored in his garage for several years. I did license the jeep and took it for short drives to the grocery store. I just do not have the storage for this jeep.”

“FOR SALE 1946 WILLY JEEP CJ2A
A brief history on this jeep. This project was stared back in 2000 by a friend who was a mechanic at a local car dealer ship. He did a complete build up on all the mechanical units, frame, axles, transmission, engine, etc. When he lost interest in the project it sat for several year in his garage. He then sold the project to another person whom also did nothing with it for another couple of years. I then purchased the jeep and finished the project.
Here is a brief run down on what is here. The frame is from a 46, the engine is from a military jeep (sear number xxxxxxx). The body was an early reproduction, additional taillight was installed and hole for aux trailer plug. It is very acuracy for a 46 with the exception of no matching numbers, frame, body, engine. Every part has been taken off and gone through. all gauges are new, also the speedometer. The parking lights are Corian, hard to find and in excellent condition. It has the original Spartan horn on the fire wall, new wiring harness, all electric parts were gone through. The carb was rebulit. It is painted the Pasture Green, tires and tubs are new, the rims are Kesley Hays.
If I had to try to get back the time and money put into this project it would very costly. This will make a nice jeep to drive around in and have fun, parades car shows etc. It comes with service manual, plate, clear title. owner’s manual. I have a top I am including with the sale. It is a Best Top I had on another jeep and is in very nice condition. There is a crack in the rear plastic that can be replaced. All the receipts’ and a running record of the money spent also come with.
the jeep drive very nice and the mileage you see is the actual on this rebuild.
All information is accurate and no false or misleading information is implied.

(06/09/2013) This appears solid, though the dash looks a little odd.
“This Jeep is in excellent working order. It has been maintained, well-respected, and kept in the garage for at least the last five years that I have owned it. Primarily stock condition and mostly original, although various parts have been rebuilt or replaced with OEM.
This Jeep is ready and capable to hit the trails, be a daily driver, or be further restored to “museum” quality. It has spent most of it’s traceable life in Colorado and Arizona, so it has relatively minor amounts of rust (although the camera flash makes some dirt spots appear to be rust in the pictures).
Must see to appreciate the condition. It is a collector’s item that can still be very much put to use. It is difficult to find a Jeep this old that is in good condition and yet has not been significantly modified. That being said, a Jeep of this era will require some amount of tinkering.
I am happy to answer questions and provide more pictures. Reply to this ad or call Mark:
