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 .
An ad for a 1946 CJ-2A referenced the following article from the July issue of Automobile Magazine. I expect this will fill a variety of CJ-2A sellers with visions of value where there might not be any. They assign a value of $12,500 to $20,000 for a restored CJ-2A and $12,000 to $18,000 for a restored CJ-3A. What they neglect to mention is how difficult it is to find a properly restored 2A or 3A.
Here’s a neat postcard. Interesting that the back includes directions about where to write.

This doesn’t have it’s key.
“Vintage Tinplate Military Jeep. Measures approx. 3″ long.
Has a clockwork motor (but no key is present!). I tried testing it with one of my keys and the motor does need a bit of a service as it’s not running properly.
Overall in good vintage condition with some light signs of age/play related wear.”

This appears solid.
“This jeep is a survivor, it has been garaged for the past 25 years and rarely driven. It is the perfect project for a full restoration, or drive it like it is. This jeep is 95 percent original and is currently registered in California. Shipping in the US only. Rebuilt engine 300 miles ago, new battery, carburetor, new fuel tank, hoses, wire harness, exhaust and muffler. The rear deck has been replaced and welded in. Has rear seat without mount. Rear seat and drivers seat done in canvas. Tires are fair and has spare. Starts and drives well. Two gauges are after market. All lights work except spot not wired. These are rare and would be great for any military collector. Price is firm. Thanks”
This appears solid and pretty stock.
“947 Jeep Willys with a snow plow. Runs good, drives good, snow plow works well. Snow plow powered by Chrysler power steering pump. Jeep has new plugs, wires, cap, rotor button, condenser, and points. Jeep also has new fuel pump. Jeep has new 6 volt battery but will not hold a charge. The top on the Jeep was replaced 4 years ago.(some seams are split overall top in fair condition). This Jeep is mechanically solid, I have plowed snow for the last 3 years with this Jeep at my home and for others in the neighborhood. The process to obtain a title has been initiated through the Colorado DMV. The title is clear. For this process to continue in Colorado, all lights have to be operational on the vehicle. The wiring is 60+ years old. In my opinion, it needs a complete new wiring harness. (Complete new wiring harness available at Kaiser Jeep Willys for $314). In addition to the Jeep, I also have 2 brand-new Firestone 6X16 military tread tires and 2 brand-new sets of military-issued tire chains. Snow plow has recently been painted and upgraded to all quick-release pins and all brand-new hydraulic hoses.

(07/24/2012) “1949 Willys Jeep that had a frame off restoration 6 years ago. Driven around 3000 miles since restoration. 28984 miles on odometer. The tub and tailgate and hood are replacement. Body is rust free and nearly perfect. Garaged everyday since restoration. All original save for the body, wheels and two inch lift springs and shocks. I have the original springs to put it back to original stance and painted steel wheels that match the jeep w/ excellent tires although they are not the military all terrain tires that the jeep was originally issued. It is converted to 12 volt and there is a list of new parts too numerous to mention. Starts every time and runs like a dream. The wheels and tires alone are worth $1200.00 and have less than 1500 miles on them

(04/14/2013) This appears to have potential. It runs and drives.
“This is a 1946 Willys Jeep model CJ2A Universal. The body is very solid although it has had some patches done some time in its life. Drive it as is, or would make an easy restoration to factory original. It runs great and all the running gear works great. It does, however need brake work, electrical work, radiator service and some other misc. stuff. Currently registered in my name with transferable ownership available immediately. This Jeep is NOT ready for the road just yet, but it wouldn’t take much.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This has the APU hood. Unclear if this was a converted APU flattie or if the hood was added later to this flattie. Only half hour left in the auction:
Joe wrote, “This was the parade entry for the Ft. Miles (DE) Historical Association, 261st Coast Artillery. All the old war horses with military veterans aboard were well received by the thousands in attendance along the parade route.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay. Listed as a Wyandotte Wooden Jeep on the eBay ad, a reader points out in the comments it is actually a “U.S. Army Miniature Jeep No. 1262” manufactured by the Wood Commodities Corp. New York City U.S.A.
It’s not in perfect shape, but it’s a neat little wooden jeep.
“NICE WYANDOTTE WORLD WAR II WOODEN JEEP
DURING THE SUSPENSION OF MAKING METAL AND STEEL TOYS DUE TO THE WAR EFFORT WYANDOTTE MADE A FEW WOODEN TOYS INCLUDING THIS NICE JEEP.
MEASURES 12” LONG
TOP OF HOOD HAS A STAR AND U.S.A. DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE IS MARKED W.D. 63
FRONT LICENSE SAY X ZII 4-M REAR HAS U.S.A. W.D
MADE COMPLETELY OF WOOD
THIS IS A VERY HARD TO FIND WYANDOTTE TOY AND IS WONDERFUL FOR BEING SOME 70 YEARS OLD”
This 1945 notes that the lessons learned from creating US Royal tires for the military are reflected in the company’s new U.S. Royal DeLuxe Tires.
“Here is a hard to find original advertisement for The United States Rubber Company. This great old WWII era Ad was removed from a vintage 1945 Magazine.
Page is about 10 inches by 12 1/2 inches with the actual ad perhaps a bit smaller. Condition of this 68+ year old Ad is excellent.”

“1951 Willys Jeep – AS IS
The drive shaft is not currently installed because the jeep was towed from NC in the 1990’s and it has been stored in a barn since then. The engine block appears to be frozen but I have not had a mechanic look into the engine at all. All parts appear to be original parts and in fair shape. There are a lot of rust holes in the body and the top has a few minor tears but the zippers work. Windshield is not cracked. Jeep can be towed.
Email me with questions or make an offer.”
