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 .
The grille itself looks good. Unclear about the year.

(12/28/2013) Looks like it has an overdrive.
“I have a 46 Willy’s jeep for sale, I am asking $2000 or best offer if you are interested please make me an offer, but no low ballers, that means please do not call me and offer me $500, it is worth more than that. Please do not call or text telling me what rough shape it is in, I am aware of the work that it needs.
I am not in a hurry to sell this jeep, and would be fine keeping it, but I do not have the time for it and it is just taking up space. I would rather sell it so that it does not just sit and rot.
It has a clean title, current registration, and it runs, but it is a project. The Jeep has full soft top and bikini top.”
UPDATE: Mark pointed out that the wagon at the far right of the photo looks like a shorty. After several agreements, I did some research and found the ad below. The ‘wagon’ on the right is actually a ‘Station Sedan’ model while the one on the left is the ‘Station Wagon’ model. The Station Sedan had the added benefit of being “more maneuverable and easier to park”. The ad doesn’t make it look short, but the picture below sure does. I have confirmed the wheelbases were the same (see comments).
The State Archives of Florida at Florida Memory, http://floridamemory.com/items/show/53295 has this great photo created by Spottswood Studio of the Family of Jeeps.
Here’s a 1949 brochure that discusses the differences between a Station Sedan and a Station Wagon. Note how the styling on the right matches the styling on the ‘Sedan’ in the top of the ad. I found this for sale at the Jumping Frog site.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
How cool is this photo!
“For sale is a photo of a prototype tracked snow Jeep taken near Prado, Colorado in April, 1943. It was undergoing testing at the time but apparently never made it into the field. It has skis on the front for steering with the steering wheel. (This method is an early version of the rope tow.) The photo is an 8 x 10 in size and is an enlargement of the original 4 x 5 factory photo made about 25 years ago. Seller will call the photo original since it was made from the original negative although it was made later on. Good luck with your bidding”
Ever heard of these? I’ve seen jeeps on two wheels, but not with only two wheels.

Justin spotted this belt buckle for sale by the Victorian Military Vehicle Corps out of Australia. Here’s what he had to say.
“I knew as soon as I received my Jeep Belt buckle, I had to share my experience with the readers of Ewillys. After a quick google search, I found an awesome way to carry my crazy Jeep addiction with me everyday. An MB grill belt buckle!
After digging a little deeper I found an email from the link. I emailed the gentleman and shortly got a response. He (Mitch) said he only has a small quantity left (35) and he was located in Australia. Mitch promptly shipped the buckle and sent an invoice on PayPal. I paid $40 for it shipped to my door and only took a week.
It turns out I did more than just buy a buckle. I am signed up with a great group or “association” of WWII Jeep enthusiasts called WW2 Jeeps NSW. These folks are die hard Jeep fans like us who post a great e-newsletter monthly. The information in the letter is priceless and they have other memorabilia for sale as well. And like I said, Mitch treated the customer service very well!”
This looks pretty good apart.

This is a rare box that looks most like a Willys MA, but I don’t think the parts will make a jeep.
“Igot this box in a garage sale and I am not sure if the items inside the box are from that model kit so I am selling more the box that the items (ofcourse I will send all show in pictures) expecting that some one will have use for them but my price is more for the box.
Box is original and old and it shows wear due to time and storage, will be a nice + for any one who collect this king of items. Thanks for looking!”

While it might be labeled a 1949, the VIN of 212310 suggests it was manufactured in 1948. So, it is almost a rare model. It’s definitely a late CJ-2A though.
“Willys Jeep CJ2A with 3,625 miles on a completely rebuilt Flathead Willys engine.
Complete body off frame restoration approximately 6 years ago with the entire body painted with Turbo liner paint VIN# 212310.
Converted to 12 Volt system with all new wiring, gauges, headlights, twilights and turn signals.
Rearend and transmission completely and professionally replaced with all new gears and clutch.
This jeep is restored to better than it was brand new. Most of the fastening bolts and nuts are stainless steel.
All new vinyl upholstery in woodland camo.
New black soft top ( Bestop Tigertop)
I have most all receipts. This is a very rare jeep, there were only 2,182 1949 CJ2A jeeps produced and this is in the Top 10 of the remaining 1949 CJ2A’s.
I also have an original Bantum Trailer that goes with this jeep in a very good condition.
We are asking $13,000 OBO.If you have any questions please send an email or call me at (208) 659-7553.”
