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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .
Ran when parked.

“Good restoration opportunity. There’s a Ford Pinto motor in it that ran when it was parked last in Arizona. Not a rust bucket, as it lived in Southern Arizona for most of it’s life.”
UPDATE: Still Available.

“We’ve decided to sell our cool 1961 Jeep FJ-3A Fleetvan. It does run as you can see in the video. It is left hand drive not the postal right hand drive. It’s had a motor and transmission swap. It’s got a 4.3 liter throttle bodied injected Chevy engine V6. It will need metal work on the interior and exterior. And one of the windows is broken. Great vehicle for marketing or your mobile business. Message via Facebook to set up a time to see it in person. Located at my shop in Midlothian, TX”
Unclear how much value is here.

“46 Willys ,no title good parts”
This column shift 2A runs, but it is somewhat torn down (see video on ad). Thanks to Tom for sharing.

“1946 Jeep CJ2A. Classic Jeep. Engine runs. New carb, fuel pump & filter and gas tank. Project started last year owner having medical issues unable to complete. Pictures were taken prior to tear down. Reasonable offers”
Before tear-down.
Thanks to Matt for sharing this document. This 16-page September 1947 issue of WO Sales News begins by announcing the addition of the “step” on CJ-2As. In an older comment by Bill Norris, “According to the 49 parts manual they [the steps] were available on 2As after serial number 129806”. This seems in relative accordance with the timing of the article.
The next story introduces the Laurel C. Worman hardtops, followed by another introduction, the Jeep-A-Trench.
On page six is an interesting story about a caravan of wagons that brought television to smaller towns across the country. To that point, television was only available to areas within a fifty mile radius of a large tower. When the jeep caravan arrived in towns, it offered twice-daily shows via a portable studio setup.
On page eight is a discussion of how to arrange and display jeeps. There are many car museums that could benefit from these insights! I’m not much of a fan of “parking lot” style museums.
The remainder of the pages discuss dealer info, marketing, testimonials, and other highlights.l
