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 has already been disassembled.

This is very cool, though the seller is a bit off on their history. I’d like some better pics.
“This is a Willy’s Jeep. After the war there was too many left over so Willy’s started to put implements on them.I think that it is in the era of the 50’s This is a ditch witch. It will need to be picked up.”

(06/29/2010) This was rebuilt in 1986, but then work stopped(?) when it came time to rebuild the engine (as best as I can figure out). I can’t tell if it runs or not.
“Originally restored / completed in 1986; Been sitting every since with plans of continuing engine projectl; currently has 4 cylinder motor; 3 speed transmission w/ overdrive”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
(06/29/2010) The serial number of 130476 suggests this is a 1947 rather than a 1946.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
I wonder if there are any pics of this used in the brewery. And, I wonder what they did with it.
“Great condition. Only 20,000 miles. With unique Wilys snowplow. Runs and drives great. Very original. Was used inside of a brewery. Always stored inside.”
The seller seems pretty accurate with this one.

The solid back suggests a MB. I can’t tell much more.

(07/11/2010) This runs and drives!

It needs some body work. This is a lefty (spare tire mounted on the left).
“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A. Runs great original engine. Will need some under body work. Great project for someone who has the time.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $700.
It looks like the dash has been chopped a bit. I don’t think this looks all that bad for the price.
“I haven’t been back to OR in 4 years and with a career in TX, it is unlikely that I ever will. I have a WW2 era military
Jeep at my family ranch in Eagle Point that I would like to sell. I have talked to a restoration specialist who says it has
been modified too many times over the years to be worth restoring to original spec, but that it would make a good toy
for wheeling or hunting.
Frame, axles, and transfer case are all original military spec and in good shape. Engine is an upgraded inline six and
was running years ago, but I wouldn’t even try now without a tune up. The bottom of the body tub was rusted out,
but the structural components are all in good shape. It has been kept covered and dry since I left. I might trade for older paintball stuff since I collect it, and it can be shipped. Nothing other than that.”
I can’t tell if it runs, but I suspect not.

I can’t tell if the body has been modified (tailgate filled in) or if it is a DJ body.

Given the winch, top, full cage, spring reversal and extra parts, this looks like a very good price.

This looks like a project.
