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 priced at $2000.
(09/17/2011) This is a column shift.
“Stock 46′ other than the f-head engine and military wheels and tires. Flat black, truck bed liner interior. Runs and drives good. $2500 or make offer. ”
UPDATE: Sold for $6100 on eBay
The serial number is 13359.
“The Jeep starts and drives, but I am assuming that after 65 years it might need to be rebuilt or maybe not. there is not much rust on the body, the under carrige has been repaired in the past and will need to be repaired correctly if your looking for a perfect example of a Jeep. It has the original Plow and Winch. Plow works perfectly and so does the winch. Its all original. The floors look to have been rusted and patched a long time ago. The Top is perfect, and so are the seats, I can send more detailed pictures to any buyer via e-mail upon request. Also the transmission is not an automatic its a 3 speed manual on the column.”

(12/03/2011) It’s been modified.
“I built this tub years ago for a rock crawler, and never finished it. Now the tub is sitting in my back yard rusting. It would make a killer rat rod, or finish it as a Jeep.
The entire floor has been replaced with 14 gauge diamond plate, and the rear has been moved up 6″ I have a windshield frame, grill, hood, a set of fenders, and a tail gate to go with it. The fenders are kind of beat, but the rest is great. Asking $500 for all of it, and will not separate! So far it has very minor rust, that’s only on the surface. I don’t have any pix in it’s current state, but can get some if you need them.
I do have all the paper work for a title on this one, so it can be street legal!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
There seems to be some value.
“old willys jeep with a flat head merc v8, engine turns over but would need work to have running, transmission seems to shift fine, clutch does not seem to work.”
The body is in poor condition.
“Hi, This is a 1949 Willys Jeep CJ2 (a)? It has between 75 and 76000 miles. It is in running condition and seems to run fairly well but does smoke. The tires are very good. The frame seems to be solid what I saw but has surface rust. The body is not in the greatest condition. It looks like a previous owner may have done some restoration work since it does have body filler on the body. The fuel tank has been cleaned and coated on the inside. The 4×4 works as well. I did some work on the brakes and they work but think there may be air in the lines since they have to be pumped several times before they work. This also comes with an aluminum top. If you have any questions feel free to call. thanks”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer

It does not run.
“A great weekend project. Just in time for Christmas. Plenty of parts available online. The data plate on the firewall says it is a CJ 2A production #49534 or 84. It does not run currently. It needs care, but multiple mechanics have told me that the frame is in good shape. I have owned it for over 15 years. There is no title for it. Buyer is responsible for arranging and paying for transport. It is being sold as-is.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1300
(11/15/2011) This appears newer than a ’45.
“this is an excellent project jeep that can easily be back on the road by the spring, all it needs is the right person. It is complete with lots of new parts, i had the engine running the other week, all the gauges worked for me. the big thing this jeep would need is the clutch disassembled and cleaned, not hard as they are a fairly small drive line. this is also a fairly rare jeep as only about 2000 were built in 45 making this one of the few survivors. however it does not come with a hard top in the picture as that in not for sale”
