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: Back on Craigslist.

Glenn spotted this rare Munga in good shape, though I can’t attest to whether it is original or not.

(07/01/2015) Needs some work.
“Selling a 1943 WILLYS has a really nice rebuilt 1942 Ford F marked GPW engine runs and sounds like a Singer sewing machine f marked bellhousing and some other parts. We license this and drove all lights work including brake lights.
transmission is a t90 not the t84 original willys frame and 4×4 front and rear axle assembly original brake system I put all new wheel cylinders on it maybe brake pads had no brakes when I got it.
I went out and bought a hard top for it from Kentucky a cost of $600.00 you could sell it and use the money elsewhere. It fits nice with the later 46 windshield I have another split 46 windshield had no windshield
military tires and wheels the tub body needs restored it could be replaced with a reman or better tub.
have a set of F marked seat frames to go with it. correct restored oil canister and a few other wwii jeep items.
the frame is in great shape the front tips need replaced I would say it had a plow on it, it was light blue when I got it , I will throw in a plow for a willys as I have one. the gas tank has been removed and another type installed under the rear, the machinegun mount is still there.
when I got it and had the rear ends underneath the leaf springs they just need put back to original position. easy job This a great parts jeep or restore project this is real wwii the rare Ford GPW engine is worth quite a bit by itself.”

(04/16/2015) Looks solid.
“I am considering selling my 1946 Willys CJ-2A 3 speed on the column jeep. $8,500 or best offer. I really dont need the money so if if i dont get a certain amount of the jeep.. it can sit in my garage for the next 50 yrs as a family airloom. It has been in my family since the 1950’s. The engine was rebuilt many years ago. It runs strong. It has a fresh coat of paint and a new battery. Was recently tuned up with new plugs and wires. There is one small issue i have yet to resolve. It needs a new fuel pump. I just havent gotten around to changing it myself yet. The jeep comes with an older top that was fitted for the jeep. There are about 73k miles or so on the vehicle.
This is not a show vehicle but it is a well maintained 70 yr old Jeep. Its the original 6 volt system. Yes the vehicle does leak(as you can see from the picture). They all do.
The column shift is rare. The early batch of CJ’s had them and they only produced about 38,000 with the colum shift.”

UPDATE: Still Available.
(05/23/2015) Has not started in 15 years. While it is possible to restore this jeep, calling it ‘perfect to restore’ pushes the bounds of credibility.

“Hi there i have a 1948 Jeep Cj2A that i am looking to sell. Over the past few years i have had a lot of fun tinkering with this jeep and doing some off roading on the property with it. These things are just incredible in the mud and there so dang small you can fit them anywhere. This jeeps engine was converted to a 1972 ford pinto 2.0l engine and from what i have heard when these engines are running right they are very reliable and powerful for there size. The engine runs but it does seep a little oil out and it could use some tlc to be running in tip top condition.
The jeep has the original T90A 3 speed transmission which shifts through all the gears and works relatively well and the 4 wheel drive also works like a charm. There is a little rust on this jeep mostly in the floor boards and on the fenders but the body tub is mostly solid. This jeep has been so fun for me but i dont have the room or the tools to make this thing a really solid jeep and want to get a reliable daily driver car otherwise i would definitly keep it cause these things are so dang cool.It is currently not running because the starter is bad but i am going to get a new one for it very soon. ”
