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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
“Injury keeps me from wheeling and putting my rig back together. I Have 12inch brakes waiting to go on and a locker in the rear and one for the front tranny and transfer case are out the motor needs to be installed again frame has been strapped 2 inch lift with a body lift also I have ran most of the trails south of Seattle and all of the Naches trail. I could haul on my car trailer to you after you come see it and we agree on the sale.”
This is an early one. It may be a good restoration candidate.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“This is a totally restored rust free 1946 Willys CJ-2A that runs great and is a blast to drive. (Sorry about the pictures but it started to snow). This vehicle sat around in a dry parts depot in Texas for about 50 years before it was purchased and restored by a car dealer in Houston about 4 years ago. I’ve driven it about 900 miles since it was completed-the mileage on the odometer is correct. It has the original chassis, drivetrain, body, tub, and seat frames. As you can see from the pictures, there is no rust anywhere.
The original engine was replaced with a 4 cylinder Ford OHC Pinto Engine. Top speed now is somewhere just north of 50 mph-going downhill with a tail wind :). It has the original three speed transmission with overdrive which makes driving on city streets much easier. I replaced all of the gages with NOS models that all are functional. Also added a new battery, electronic ignition and trailer hitch. The 35″ Super Swamper Tires have less than 1,000 miles on them. Never used the Ramsey winch or had the vehicle off road. We keep it at our cottage in Norther Michigan and just use it to drive around the country roads and run errands . . . View more on eBay”
UPDATE: Still Available
(11/19/2012) The front of this looks tired.

Over $500 in parts Needs some work and some tlc but still runs and drives. Would make a good trail rig/ mud bogger or a restoration project. Motor alone sells for 500 running. The 4×4 works and everything shifts through perfectly. Original jeep rollbar.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600. Appears to have a Worman halftop.
(09/09/2012) There might be some value here in parts, but it’s not clear to me how much.

Looks solid and straight.
“This is a near original 1946 Willys CJ2A, the engine was rebuilt about 500 miles ago, has a new carborator(not original), , new exhaust (not original), new tires, re-upolstered seats, runs great. This is a collectable Willys very good shape, lock in original front hubs, split transfer case hi/low/neutral. Everything works, will climb almost anything. Has been converted to a 12 volt system. Must see to appreciate. This Willys is located near Apache Junction, Arizona, buyer must arrange own shipping or pick up from my residence. Buyer must pay 20% of final price to hold until pick-up arrangements are made and then final payment in full before pick-up. I purchased this Jeep to use for rockhounding in the Arizona desert and decided that it could cause damage to this old classic, and it is a bit too rough riding for my wife and I to use. Hope to find someone to love and care for it the way it should be. Thanks for looking”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
(08/13/2012) Here’s a nice looking rig. It has an early grille.

“$6500 with winch, or $6000 without winch, would rather sell without winch. Up for sale is a 1947 Willys Civilian Jeep, with a later model F-head engine. Engine, transmission and transfer case were rebuilt about 1,200 miles ago, new cooper tires put on about 300 miles ago (some older pictures have the old tires) nice best-top brand top with doors, very good shape, runs great, shifts great, starts up every time with no problems, ask any questions you’d like, happy to answer. Has minimal surface rust, no holes or cancer, no major dents or cracks in body, fenders were strengthened at some point with some l-stock steel. Has a suspension lift to fit 31″ tires and bigger f-head engine, center seam under hood has been cut and a small portion of the firewall has been trimmed to accommodate, has holley carb. All gauges work, all electrical works. Has a newer heater. Has hand operated Beebe Bros 2 ton winch that works very well, haven’t seen many of them around, is currently off of the jeep. I love this jeep but I feel like it’s too nice for me to smash around rocks and trees in so I’d rather have something a lot rougher to mess with. Has full roll bar under top, locking ammo can storage compartment between seats, back seat will need some tlc, front seats in great shape with no tears or wear, windshield wipers run off of vaccuum, has tow hitch, comes with one brand new army green jerry can and holder which is mounted to tailgate. Includes one spare tire mounted on side. Electrical is a 6v system. Engine leaks a little oil, I assume some bolts need to be tightened after breaking in from the rebuild. Thanks for looking, e-mail with any questions and leave a number if you’d like to talk over the phone instead.”
