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 .
This may be a fairly early VEC. Had a column shift, has tool indents, and has the squares on the windshield.
“1946 willys, as far as I know all original. Ran great up till we stored it in pole barn, some 10 or more years ago. Has a fuel pump issue now. Got good tires, (not original). Its been sitting in pole barn and needs a new home.”

You growing “collection” needs this one, Dave 😉
Saw those square windshield washers right away… seems complete and not a bad price considering all the early VEC features!
Should an early Vec have floating rear hubs?
Joe: If my collection grows any more I will need to move into the dog house …
Chris: Good question. Only early VECs (lol, that’s sort of funny to say) had the rear hubs. The latest VEC CJ-2A documented to have them was #13453, according to this page: https://www.thecj2apage.com/history.html
