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: This is back on eBay
(11/14/2012) This looks nice. It has a clever spare tire holder that uses part of the PTO bar. It’s worth a look. The custom undercarriage is lower than usual.
” 1947 Willys CJ2a. This is an easy driver for anyone. It was built for my mother to drive around. It has all the great Willys jeep modifications including:
Saginaw power steering
Buick 231 V6
Dana 44 rear, Dana 27 front, 3:73 gears.
Turbo 350 automatic transmission with single stick Dana 20 transfer-case.
Adjustable front bucket seats (Drivers side has the wheel-well “notched” for more adjustment room- I am almost 6’3″ and can drive this comfortably.
Vent in windshield frame that can be opened for air flow (See pics)
Dome lights wired in hard top
M38 Military lightweight Arctic Top.
Swing out spare tire (see pics)
Two “stock style” gas tanks on passenger and drivers sides.
Near NEW tires
This Jeep was never used off the road. It will get around town and fly down the freeway just fine. This is a really snappy rig and will take off at the drop of hat. It gets lots of looks going down the road. The only trouble is the gas gauge which needs worked on and a small chip in the windshield which has a “glass sticker” on it to keep it from spreading. Please ask any questions. I am selling this in cooperation with my father.
The work was completed about 10 years ago on the jeep. It has always been garaged and rarely driven in the rain. It was a spring and summertime driver.
Alas, it’s top will keep you warm and dry (has heater and defroster). In heavy water (such as during washing or heavy rain) some water will gather in the front floor boards. We always just put a towel down there when washing. Someone could easily track the source of the water getting in, we just never did as it was a nice day driver.”

(08/27/2012) This doesn’t have a title. It looks like it has some life left.
“This is a 1946-47 Willys CJ-2A Jeep set up for use as a hunting jeep. This jeep runs great with low hours on an older engine rebuild. The body is not a candidate for restoration but it is sound. Custom front and rear bumpers with an extended platform and tow bar on the front bumper. The bed has been completely replaced with steel plate and a custom tailgate that folds out into a bed extension for additional carrying capacity. Engine has been converted to 12V with an alternator. New water pump, new electric backup fuel pump, rebuilt carburator and new battery. Good brakes with new wheel cylinders and master cylinder. Freshly rebuilt transmission and transfer case. Excellent oversize off-road tires. Newly upholstered seats. This jeep is ready to load up and go hunting. I also have a custom built hunting tower that fits on the jeep. It needs some work but I will throw it in if you want it. No title. Bill of Sale only. I have owned the jeep for almost 30 years and to my knowledge it has never been licensed.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
“1948 CJ-2A Restored in early 1990 by Willys of Milwaukee Wis. The vehicle is a driver quality and not a show vehicle. It has new tires, brakes, shocks and springs all around. It has a 12V. electrical system. The rest of the vehicle is original. It runs good and is a lot of fun to drive. I used it for an airport car for the past 5 years and have given up flying so I no longer need my toy. This car gets tons of looks and always gets comments and brings back lots of memories. The drive train is solid but like any vehicle that is 64 ears old it does have some minor drips, not really leaks. I have 4 extra wheel rims that are included and a canvas top that came with the car when I bought it. I am taking a $4,000 loss on this car from my investment. Buyer must make arrangements for shipping, I will assist in any way I can to make it as easy for the buyer as I can. The vehicle is available for inspection and I can store it for up to 6 months if necessary.”
This includes a trailer and scooter.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
It needs some work.
“Up for sale or trade is a 1946 CJ-2A Willys Jeep. It needs a new fuel pump and some other work,(seats, tires, windshield, few dents, couple of minor rust spots) but it is in surprisingly good shape for its age. It’s definitely not ready to drive home though-will need a trailer or tow. Everything has been kept original(engine, tranny, etc) The engine runs great, but since the fuel pump is out, I have to hand spray gas into the carb to show. Fully restored this Jeep is worth a LOT of money. I’m moving and can no longer keep it in a garage.”
