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 .

Ready for your next Jeep project, this flat fender body is registered (non-op) with black CA plates. No back fees at all. Painted good-quality dark-blue probably 20 years ago, the paint is usable if you just want to go wheeling, but if a show quality Jeep is what you prefer then the body should be stripped.
Included parts: Body Tub, Fenders, Grille, Hood, Windshield, Seats, Roll Cage, Chrome Running Boards, Fuel Tank, Head Lights, Marker Lights, Tail Lights, License Plate and Title. Also have soft doors and glass, plus a few misc items like a Saturn overdrive unit for a Dana 18 (I think).

“1946 Willys Overland CJ2.
Runs good.

This is a Hunter’s jeep.”
Steve dropped me a note and shared some pictures of his jeeps. Both the flattie and the CJ-7 look great! If you need any help driving them, just let me know 🙂
He writes, “The blue one is a 1978 CJ7 and the Willys is a 1948 CJ2A. I’ve had the CJ7 for 27 years and got the Willys from my dad last year. The Willys has been in the family for 50 years, most of it spent with my late Grandfather in California. When I got the Willys from my dad, it was in rough shape, and I spent about a year fixing it up. I really enjoy driving both, and the Willys gets a lot of attention.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This looks great, though to be period correct in needs a few changes.
“Frame off restoration with EVERY part rebuilt or replaced to period correct condition. New seats and seat frames, new gas tank, new tires, new brakes, new gauges, etc. Transmission, engine, differentials, gear boxes, wheel knuckles, everything…rebuilt with original parts. This vehicle does have the original PTO unit on the back. It’s a pretty cool and unusual feature. No rust, powder coat desert tan paint. Powder coat was done by a professional hot rod shop. Runs Great! Great FUN!!! I have a shop full of automotive projects and it’s time to move on to the next one.”
It’s a project.
“Here is a great Jeep for someone who has the time to put into it. I got this project for my son and I and we never got to it. It is all complete, and I have a set of axles from a 1976 CJ to go with it for the right price. I also have a “Go Devil” engine that will make it a complete package. (I have many extra parts as well) I am interested in moving this ASAP as I need the room. I have the clean title in my name. Please only SERIOUS buyers, no SPAM or LOWBALLERS.
