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 Jeep has recently been completed after a long restoration. The aftermarket replacement body is approx. 25 years old-brand unknown, but fits well, The fenders, hood, windshield frame, and tailgate are OE pieces. The excellent original frame was blasted and painted, the body is painted top and bottom. The entire driveline has been rebuilt professionally (engine, trans, transfer case, axles, and overdrive unit). This Jeep runs and drives as new. The steering is straight and true, the geartrain is quiet, and there are no squeeks or rattles. The only mileage put on it was for setup and testing. It has a reman warn overdrive unit with an un-used PTO attached. I encourage bidders to come see this Willys before bidding, it is an excellent original-type unmodified Jeep.
Here is a list of new and remanufactured parts that have built the Jeep.
New: Belts and hoses, voltage regulator, steering linkage, gauges, tailgate chains, all new braking system, axles and bearings, all 5 Denman 6.00-16 tires with tubes, seat foam and upholstery, Walck’s wiring harness, fuel pump, tail light and reflector, rearview mirror, wiper motor and arm, air filter assembly, brake and fuel lines, and clutch.
Remanufactured: Engine, transmission, transfer case, Warn overdrive, PTO unit, generator, starter, carburetor, and steering gearbox”

Unclear how many parts come with this jeep.
“For sale or parts a 1946 cj 2a willys jeep ”
This has an unusual look.
“This is an awesome 1947 Willy’s jeep. Old School mud – rock crawler . was told that back in the day, it won several trophies and was in at least one of the peterson’s publications. this has two tops. it does have a hood with hood scoop that is not in the pictures. This is just a big toy. not something that you will want to drive every day of the year, but could be. it has a “cammed up” 289 out of an older mustang. 4 speed trans with a hard to find transfer case that also has 2 wheel low. this will go 70 mph down the road easily. I have had it over 90 mph racing my wife home. I won, LOL. it has 35″ tires that are in good shape. this has a full roll cage and a full tubed frame. it has tons of power and runs awesome although it does have some blow bye and will use some oil. I think that the bottom end is bullet proof. it could use some body work and paint, but is a blast to drive as is. this was used as daily transportation to and from work by the previous owner ,and is a very dependable jeep. it also needs a fan shroud or an electric fan with shroud. it will drive around town all day long without getting warm, but if you drive 60 – 70 mph for over 10 miles ,it will start getting hot and you have to slow down. it has never got hot enough to boil over because I watch the gauge and drive accordingly. fan shroud would fix it. THIS IS NOT a beginners vehicle. it drives good, but as with any short framed jeep with alot of power , it can get out of control easily.
it’s amazing how much attention this draws. very loapy idle. sounds like a race car.
4500.00 firm or wha-cha-got to trade? I am interested in a lot of things. so if you have something for trade, just run it by me. I might be interested. Might also trade for rat rod or pre 80’s camaro – firebird – trans am or ???
816-387-3714 PLEASE NO TEXT !!!”
This has a nice cage and a PTO winch.
“Willys jeep has a buick motor. in good condition, no major issues. Starts. runs. drives. No smog needed. Title in hand. may trade for a RANCH QUAD, No sand dune quads.”
http://slo.craigslist.org/cto/3667954352.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2850.
This body has been patched extensively.
“1948 Willys Jeep. Nice running, rebuilt 4cyl. Ford Pinto engine conversion. Original transmission, 4WD transfer case, front/rear diff., axles and front locking hubs are in good working order. The ignition and electrical systems have been upgraded from the original 6-volt to 12-volt. Good battery. Body and sheet metal are solid and straight with flat Army green paint. The previous owner installed non-original seats which are in poor condition. However, I managed to find and buy 2 original seat frames which just need to have covers installed, which is fortunately both easy and inexpensive to do with Willys Jeep seats. Wheels are original and in good shape. 3 of the tires are correct military tread and the other is an all-terrain/snow type tread. All 4 tires have light/medium wear.
I was in the process of replacing the entire brake system when my health declined, leaving me physically unable to continue just before I was finished with the brakes. New brake lines have been installed throughout, along with new wheel cylinders and a rebuilt master cylinder. I had the drums turned/machined along with all new brake shoes. I also had the new brake shoes machined, contoured and matched to each drum for a precise, concentric fit at a top-notch specialty brake shop (This is an old trick that costs a little more but significantly improves drum brake performance…with the added benefit of a more responsive and lighter feeling brake pedal). The shoes and hardware are included but have not been installed. Windshield glass is unblemished and clear.
The Jeep has a Texas title but is currently not registered or inspected. This Jeep is elligible for Antique registration which, if the buyer elects to do so, is exempt from state inspection. But once the brake shoes are installed it should have no problem passing inspection. This is a good old Jeep and will give someone many years, miles, and smiles…”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
It runs, but needs work.
“I have a 1947 Jeep Willy’s in running condition, however it is still a project. “Bill of Sale” only.
