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 article was published in the January 1958 issue of Willys News.
Tracy believes these parts were from a 1920s Willys vehicle, but isn’t sure. She’s hoping to get them to someone who could use them. She’s tried contacting the Willys Knight Registry, but so far hasn’t gotten any response.
I like the maze for the jeep on the inside. More jeep-like than a jeep.

Seller lists this as a 1945/1946, but the grille suggests it is later.
“1945/46 Cj2A Jeep Willys, was a California car for most of its life and has very little surface rust. Reliable enough to drive everyday if you wanted to, starts and runs every time. Needs TLC as expected from an old vehicle. Fun to drive and a great project for anyone with a little mechanical know how. I would love to keep it but its time for the next project.
email or text is the best way to reach me, all reasonable offers will be considered.
$6200 OBO”

Sounds like it runs.
“2nd year of the civilian Willy’s Jeep…CJ 2A. All original motor and drive train. Used on a deER lease for the past few years. Engine and tranny were rebuilt 10 years ago. Clean Texas Title…..will run on starter fluid.”
Still needs a little work.
“Registered as a 1952 Willys. All fiberglass, Locked Ford 9in., Automatic Transmission, 427 Big Block Chevy (approx. 450hp), nitrous kit available, Full cage built for 3 people attached to the frame, New drive shafts, etc. The Jeep has not seen sand since 2008. I had a new T18 transfer case put in it in 2012 as well as having the rest of the drivetrain inspected. It does not currently run. The fuel lines, battery and driveshafts need to be installed. The seats are weathered but actually new. I have never driven it with these seats installed. The Super Swampers and Mickey Thompsons are no longer on the Jeep, It will be sold with 32×11.50×15 BFG All Terrains on aluminum wheels. I am willing to negotiate but do not come at me with some ridiculously low ball offer.”

Not sure how much value is here.
“I have a 1946-47 Willys CJ2A that is in very restorable shape of to make it into whatever you would like, The rundown: been in a barn for 20 plus yrs, engine, trans, transfer case is all rebuild able but is not running, floor pans are in good shape not rusted through, body could use a little work but is in great shape for its year and compared to others I have found. Has an extra windshield and frame. One rust through spot in the frame but nothing too concerning. It only has two rims with no tires so it is on a trailer an not mobile. Take a look at pics..”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $200.

Looks like it has been painted recently.

(08/03/2010) The body has been lifted and the springs have been outboarded. I suspect the front and rear housings have been replaced, as it now sports 6 lug rims.

“1947 Jeep Willys CJ2A near original state. Has the “Go Devil” 4cyl. engine also know as the L-head. With in the last year; new fuel tank, rebuilt starter ( also has a high rev 12v starter for it), rebuilt carb ( still leaks as the of the age recommend replacement), all new wiring with new battery, brakes rebuild except the master which was good at the time. A few years ago the engine was rebuilt runs strong.
Body is not perfect (started to remove paint as it had a bad brush paint job before). Over all good bones for a restore. Or good ranch rig.
As of now it need the seats redone, and a new carb.
HAVE CLEAR TITLE.”
UPDATE: John pointed out that the early GAZ was modeled after the first Bantam. This may well be a restored early GAZ.
Roberto forwarded a link to a celebration in Vietnam that included jeeps. I was checking out the CJ-3Bs and M-606s when I spotted a jeep that looked curiously like a copy of the original Bantam BRC. It’s doesn’t seem to be a perfect copy, but still looks pretty neat. I’ve blown up the pics, so they are a little blurry.

Original Bantam BRC from a similar angle.
Early GAZ
Seth found this photo of a stretched M-38A1 with extra seats parked at a Walmart. Looks like there’s a small sign attached to the beer case that indicates this may be in Virginia near the National Museum of the Marines
.
Appears mostly stock.
