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 .

(08/04/2015) “First civilian jeep offered. 1946 that has been upgraded with brakes, wiring harness, clutch, steering and more. Owned for twenty five years, all mechanical and electrical systems reworked.
THIS IS AN UPDATE. After re-evaluating based on condition, I have increased the asking price.Underneath inspection indicated that the rust that was present when I bought it is not materially different; the previous owner treated it with some magic potion that stopped it. The rust underneath can be repaired without replacing the tub. Fenders, bed, and sides excellent shape.”

It’s a project.
“his is a project jeep. It was a postal military jeep at one time. It is 2 wheel drive. It has the original L-134 Flathead motor that has been rebuilt and has not been started yet. It has the original T-96 transmission which has been rebuilt and converted to a top shifter. I have had all the parts off the motor rebuilt. It has a 12 volt charging system. It still needs few more parts to get it running. It has some brakes and new shocks. It had a metal top at one time but not when I got it. It has no doors. I have a tow bar for it. The radiator has been rebuilt also. It needs all fluids. The engine and transmission are in the jeep. It is a good project jeep to finish. It also has a new clutch and throw out bearing. I have more pictures that I can text if anyone is interested.”

(01/13/2015) It’s a project.
“1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A restoration project. This Jeep appears to be fairly complete, but it needs a total ground-up restoration. It hasn’t been run since the 80’s. I have been told it was a running vehicle when it was parked, but I have made no effort to test this theory as I’m sure it will need work just to get it to turn over. You should plan to trailer it home. The front fenders and grill are included, they are just not shown in the photos. Jeep has been cleaned up a tad since the pics were taken but still needs more work. Does not appear to have any noticeable rust issues, but it does appear that the front frame horn on the passenger side has been previously repaired. It has been in Arizona since at least 1969 and has a clean Arizona title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4300.
(08/25/2015) No obvious rust.

Just setting in shop don’t drive it anymore.”
Looks like the driver is having fun.

Seller needs to quickly sell stuff. Given the full floaters, I’m guessing this is an MB with a replacement tub that never was titled correctly (has a ’47 title).
