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 .

Thanks to Chuck for giving me this Bobcat hood, which has NEVER been mounted. It was purchased and then hung in a California barn. So now I have my very own ‘Brand New-like’ Bobcat Hood!
Over the last two days Ann and I have been driving down to California. This has kept us very busy and mostly out of service, so only a couple posts today.
Our first goal was to drive down the center of Oregon, something neither of us had done. So, on Wednesday we got up early and headed south. When we reached Pendleton, Oregon, we turned onto Highway 395 south and worked our way down to Burns. We didn’t stop during our drive or take any photos, mostly due to the driving rains that shadowed us through most of Oregon.
After Burns, we turned onto highway 205, which took us passed the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, which isn’t well known for anything at this point other than the Bundy family’s odd decision to take it over in February of 2016. Again, due to the rain, we drove past the refuge.
I had hoped we would have a good view of the Steen Mountain in southern Oregon, but the rain didn’t let up for a good view of it. I am hoping to return sometime to do the mountain loop tour, which begins and ends on 205, but that will have to be saved for next summer.
Steen Mountain web photo (It’s all one giant mountain).
Eventually, Highway 205 ended at US-95, which we followed into Winnemucca (with the rain still pouring down). After checking the weather, we decided to drive southwest to Fallon, hoping that we would leave the rain behind. That plan actually worked! So, we spent the night at Super-8 and Bonanza Casino, which also provided free drinks for the attached Bonanza casino.
Super-8 and Bonanza Casino in Fallon, Nevada. This may be a web photo, but it is exactly the way it looked when were there.
We don’t gamble a whole lot, but we did spend about an hour playing 5-cent video poker. We ended up losing $10 total, but got three free drinks out of the deal. I can live with that!
Yesterday (Thursday) morning, we left for Tulare via US 95, which took us through Hawthorne, Nevada, home of the world’s largest ordnance depot, where they both manufacture and store ordnance (and I’m sure they do much more).
Our first stop in Hawthorne was at the local park, where they have several wind machines made out of bombs. Ann was thrilled!
I wish we could see more of the mods, but still plenty of changes to see from this one photo.

Looks solid. Drain holes are filled, so this probably is a body that has had some work done. Thanks to J.P. for spotting it.

“1946 Willys CJ2A, Runs, drives and stops as it should. Rebuilt engine with hardened valve seats, completely new brake system, solid body with replaced floor pans, solid frame with no rust. 95% tread on tires with new spare. To many other new parts to list. Original rear draw bar is include, just not currently installed.
This is not a survivor/show quality Willys, but is a great 4X4 that you can drive and enjoy. Title in hand. Serious inquiries only please. Email for more details or additional pictures.”
I snagged this rare Heavy Duty ‘Jeep’ 6 Engine and Power Unit off of eBay for a good price. I’ve never seen another of these. Given the Kaiser Willys Motors branding and the lack of a date/ad stamp, I’d say this was mid-1950s.
This appears to be a series of CJ-3Bs that are ready for some kind of shipment.

Runs and drives.

“1947 willys, newer chevy 4 cyl. Stock running gear, power steering, would make good wheeler/trail rig. Runs and drives.”
Has a brand new 350 engine.
https://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/d/vancouver-1952-jeep-willys/6979599720.html
“This is a 1952 Jeep Willy ready for some additional love and fun. This has a brand new 350 motor with less than 100 miles on it. We replaced the steering gear box as well as the the steering linkage. We put a brand new disc conversion kit on the front. New power disc brake set up and aluminum radiator.
Picked up a new gas tank as well and has mustang seats for the front. We also have a rear seat that is not pictured. We put a turbo 400 tranny in this that only had 30,000 miles on it. Here are the things it still may need……not all the gauges work. There are no brake rear lights, but there is a brake switch on the brake pedal so just needs to be wired. Transfer case has never been worked on or replace so may need attention. You will also need to get the locking hub caps before being able to engage the front axle.
We are more interested in trading for something you may have that is KOOL……but must be KOOL. Here are some things that we would consider. Early air cooled Bug, Thing, or a scamp trailer.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(07/01/2019) Has a few updates. Looks in good shape. The body lacks drain holes and the hood has no Willys insignia. This could have an aftermarket body.

Maybe someone could use this?

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
Because this sits on a post 1971 CJ-5 chassis, the grille sits about 3″ farther forward than on a standard flattie, so the fenders and hood will have to be modified to fit.
