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: more, bigger pics. The interior looks good and it has new gauges.
The windshield on this is pretty vertical. It appears in solid shape.

As you can see in the pics, this is a project.
“this jeep has a 2.5″ suspension lift. Buick 231 V6 swap with a t90 transmission and dana 18 transfer. Original military axles with 5.38 gears (dana 44 rear, dana 25 front). I have the data plates as well as the serial plate. New plastic gas tank. Frame is in perfect condition, fenders are great, hood is a little dented but not rusty, tub needs floor pan work and some minor panel work. I bought this jeep to build an offroad toy with but just purchased a wrecked Wrangler Rubicon and dont have the time to build two jeeps (plus I have a Wrangler unlimited for my daily driver). I am negotiable a little bit on the price but dont waste my time with ridiculous offers. I have a ton of pictures I can email to serious buyers, currently the motor is out and on a stand in my shop, fenders hood and grill are removed and stripped of paint. I had planned to wheel the jeep in the body shop soon and replace the floors and do the body work.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2650
(01/08/2010) Check out the front part of the passenger side frame rail. It looks like a giant piece of plate has been welded onto to it. I suspect that’s not there to make it go faster!
“This old Willys runs and drives like it did 62 years ago! This would be perfect for a restoration project as it is only slighty modified with the lift and very little aftermarket items, or as a TURN-KEY off road toy. I would keep it if I could but bills and other projects take priority unfortunetly. Please call or email with any questions or offers”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1350
(02/06/10) Here’s an interesting combo.
“1946 New Willys Jeep chasis that has never had a body mounted. Included: Buick 225 V-6, New Springs, Rebuilt axles, Trailer, 4-Speed Transmission”
A few years ago, Hemmings ran a post about an article they produced the CJ-4. In the article, they discuss how the X-151 became the prototype CJ-4, the only one of it’s class made. It was later sold to an employee, who later resold it to someone who stored it in a garage for years.
You can read all about it a Hemmings blog
This weekend I spent some time messing with my engine. One of the concerns I have had was that the whitish smoke that still slips out of the intake manifold hasn’t gone away. I had hoped that was simply the rings not sealing, but I don’t believe it is anymore.
While checking the engine closely on Saturday, I discovered that there was some whitish, oily residue on the roof of the oil breather, which suggests coolant in the oil. My radiator level was also a little low. Between that, the smoke, and the fact that it runs a little rough when under pressure, I now believe that somewhere on my left bank there is a crack. I suspect it’s the REAL reason the seller of my engine stopped using it.
Fortunately, I have an extra 3.8L block that appears in good shape (I’m already using the heads and crankshaft). I would have used that block initially, except that it’s bored .030, while my Hypereutectic pistons are made for a stock bore. So, I guess I’ll go back to .030 bore and the pistons that came with that block.
So, I’m going to get my block dipped and cleaned, pull the engine, rip it apart, and put everything back together. It sounds like some good weekend fun …. I’m might redo the radiator setup while I’m at it — I have a new idea for that.
Randy passed on this slide show to me. There are a few jeeps, but mostly airplanes. I thought the shots were amazing.
Something seems a little strange about the windshield.

(06/3/09) Looks like a parts jeep to me.
“I am selling this 1946 Jeep Willys CJ2A. I bought it as part of a package and my wife says it needs to go. It is not running, but the engine turns free and I just had the starter rebuilt. The only thing it’s missing is the Carb to get running again. The body will need some repairs, but I’ve been told that worse have been rebuilt. I have the tag that goes with it, along with a multitude of other parts. Just let me know what you need and I’ll include them. Thanks. ”

This is an edited version of an ad for a Holden-modified ambulance for sale in 2010 (or maybe it wasn’t a Holden?). Now it contains some information on Holden-Modified Jeeps.
This video shows a Holden at Iwo Jima:

“A 1948 willy nice willy solid great to drive . Has new brakes all around,new rebuilt tranmission,new floor borad, lots of new parts.you may e-mail me or call for more info”
This comes with some body parts. This might be a good price and a good foundation for an early build.

“I got it from the ORIGINAL OWNER!!!!!! need some work, it has some easally repairable rust in teh front floorboard. I can fix it for a very resaonable cost (the right way, no hack job) or you can. its been in dry storage its whole life. chevy small block w/3speed and Warn overdrive. I also have a Jeep (buick) 225 v-6 w/ t-14 3spd and dana 20 transfercase from a commando that can go with it. It would not take much at all to have this thing on the road (or off the road). wiring is all there converted to 12 volt. drivetrain is all intact. I have the windshield (cracked) and top w/doors that are not in the photos. needs some brakes work. the roll bar is also frame mounted.
Make me an offer, please be reasonable because it is not very often you run across an original owner jeep of this era. I might, just maybe, possably take PART trade on this (totota stuff,chevy stuff ,tires, or running car, or something REALLY interesting)……but only maybe part trade. I do not want to sell thsi it is my dream jeep (especially when done) but I started a new business and need the $$$$$ Thanks for looking. email is the best way to get ahold of me right now.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
This is a project with some extra parts, including a winch. This might be a good find for the right person.
