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 .
Those sides need some work!

“1948 WILLY’S JEEP – 4 CYLINDER – RUNS GREAT, GOOD CONDITION. PERFECT VEHICLE FOR HUNTING!!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200
(11/24/09) This looks pretty stock and runs. Looks like it might be a good price.
“1946 Jeep CJ2A military style jeep. Running and in fair condition. Original 4 cylinder enjine with rebuilt carburator, generator and starter. Very original condition with little rust. Would be a great jeep to turn into that vintage rock climber you have alwasy wanted!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500

‘Old willys jeep for sale. great project jeep. not enough time to fix it must sell. ”
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD** As James notes, the seller neglects to mention the lack of a column shift (and I missed it too).
With a VIN of #10907, this is the 907th CJ-2A made. It’s a rare vehicle.
“Out of the Utah high desert, WWII vet owned and maintained CJ-2A from 1945. First year a civilian Jeep was produced and one of the first 1000 made. All data plates are there and in good condition. True “survivor” with very few changes made to it over the years.
Compression and oil pressure are good, but I think the carburetor will have to be rebuilt (or ideally replaced, it’s not correct for the year). Has plenty of power and runs well at speed, but idles poorly (rich). Brakes work fine, shifts well through all gears. Was register/used right up until April 2009.
Front seat frames are original, rear is not, but would work/look fine while you shopped for an original. Body is in great shape overall (UT is the second driest state in the US, just behind Nevada) but it still has some hat channel rust under the front floor and tool box. No soft top or top bows.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** was $4500.
I can’t tell if that is a skin on the body, or chrome, or stainless … it sure is shiny.

I never use my email. im computer illiterate but call me at 7022359028. The name is nick.”
UPDATE: This is back on eBay
(03/08/2010) This has been nicely restored.

New parts include: clutch, shocks, wiring, battery, radiator, brakes & brake lines, gas tank, all gages, windshield, lights, jack, winch, & auxiliary tank.

The dealer selling this CJ-2A has provided a large number of good quality images. This looks pretty solid.
“1947 JEEP WILLYS. MUST SEE! VERY GOOD CONDITION! Runs and Drives Great! This 1947 Jeep Willys was brought from Missouri to Texas a few years ago. It has been kept in a barn since. It is almost impossible to find a Willys with this little of rust! LOOK at the PICTURES! Transmission shifts smooth through all gears. Engine fires right up and runs strong.

(10/1909) This is a non-running project.
“I was told it was a post war CJ2A. It has the transmission still in it, has the doors inside, the top is removable. It is 4×4. I have the motor for the jeep and most of the parts. I am not sure what is missing. Body and frame look solid. What you see in the pictures is NOT rust! The color is some kind of a redish color and has faded and sun bleached and looks rusted. There is some rust but you have to look closer to see it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
(02/21/10) I’d like to see more pics of this. It’s worth a look at this price.

This looks good and includes a winch and overdrive. It appears mislabeled as a 1942.
“V-6 Buick engine, overdrive, 8,000 lb. winch, all new suspension, beefed up drive line, good also as a tow-behind.”
This might be a good price, depending on what needs help.
