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: Still Available.

UPDATE: Definitely a scam. This jeep ad has been spotted in several locations now. A reader named Sam took the plunge and emailed the seller. After several rounds of emails, Sam concluded there was no jeep.
Possible scam as the price seems too good. Seller mentions nothing about the jeep.

“Great running little CJ flat fender Jeep. Driveable now but will require some final tinkering to put it back on the road – electrical for lights, blinks, gauges, brakes bled, decent seats and the tires are good but checked. Optima battery pictured NOT included with the sale. Has spent some time on the Coast so a little blistering here and there on the body but not terrible. 4 point roll cage included with the sale. All and all a cool project for someone with the hard work being done. Good title on current non op. $4200. Trades considered (no boats or bikes please)”
This refurbed 2A looks solid. It lacks drain holes, but the body seems in good shape and nicely repaired (if that’s the case). It lacks the original hood and the front gussets are missing, too. The truck behind it looks very nice.

Seller has begun disassembly on this, so it’s a project at this point.

“Bought this a few months ago it ran and drove. It is an absolute blast to drive, like a cross between a tractor and a gokart… I took it around the neighborhood and to the grocery store a few times down the street, then started to prep to remove the tub to fix some rust on the floor panels. There are kits sold online that you just weld in place to make it a fairly siple repair.
I didn’t get very far, removed some body bolts, undid the dash wiring (all clearly labeled for easy re-assembly) You could put it all bag together and just drive it as is without issue, my plan was a full restoration but quickly realizing I do not have the time.

“Decided to sell my 1946 Willys Jeep. This little jeep runs and drives like a 1946 willys jeep should. The only known issues the fuel filter plugs every once and a while. The gas tank needs to be rinsed out.Could also use a radiator cap I did order one but I am not sure when it will arrive. I only drive it a few miles now and then so it was just not a priority I guess. Shifts good in all gears 4×4 works great. Tires are old look to be original military tires? This jeep was converted to 12 volt and has a new battery. I just dont drive it so decided to pass it on to someone else. Very solid jeep for its age. There is just a minor spots on both sides below the doors. This is pretty common and the patch panels are super cheap. I will get some more pictures and add them tomorrow. Clear title in my name.. I can store this jeep for a few months as long as it is paid for in full with in 5 days of auctions end.”

“1946 Military Willys CJ2A has a lot invested into it. I have really enjoyed it but it’s time to part ways. It needs some work. Pm for more details it won’t let me type anymore. Needs timing and has exposed wires. I didn’t do the build but you can tell by looking what it’s got! It’s an all custom build and one of a kind. It’s not a Willy’s title as that was lost a long time ago. So what it has is a Clean Suzuki samurai title from the frame, engine, and transmission. It’s powered by a rebuilt fuel injected samurai motor and transmission which is a 1.6L 4 speed manual transmission with 4hi and 4L. It has brand new spark plugs, plug wires, distributor motor, Distributor cap, and rotor. 5.13 gears with a rear E-locker that is geared to be on all of the time, Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 front and rear axles, FJ60 leaf springs, and FJ60 front manual center locking hubs. Make offer. No low ballers please.”
