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: **SOLD** Was $2300.
“The jeep has been in the family since 1962 and it has been kept under cover except for a couple years. I had a custom made car cover over it most of the time it was not under cover. The top is fairly new and still in very good condition.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2400.
(10/17/2013) Here’s an old ranch jeep.
“1946 WILLYS JEEP A TRUE SURVIOR. WAS ON A RANCH IN SOUTHERN CA FOR ABOUT 40 YEARS. HAS THE A GPW 4CLY ENGINE. IT APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL. AND IT RUNS. HAS NON OP WITH PINK SLIP. HAS RUST ISSUES AND NEEDS TOTAL RESTORATION. BEST OFFER POSSIBLE TRADE.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(03/22/2013) It looks solid, but isn’t a ’43. Includes a winch.
“1943 Willeys Jeep. Winch, new tires,V-6 Motor. Ready for Summer…. $ 3500.00”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,750
(10/21/2013) Glenn spotted this nice looking ‘lefty’.
“Sold by licensed RI dealer. Beautiful frame off, body off, nut and bolt restoration, many many new parts. Jeep shows to be in very much like new condition. Every system and component has been restored. Minor flaws only. Transmission will need attention however. Borg Warner T-90 gets stuck in second gear. Good opportunity for someone. Originally a Southwestern United States Jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800
“Bought it 2 years ago and have been restoring it slowly. I have the vin plates that go under the hood, it has new headlights, all new wires, new hood latches, new carburetor, new coil, new distributor, voltage regulator, new sparkplug wires, radiator, fuel pump, complete new exhaust system, rebuilt starter, rebuilt transmission, complete new brake system except for the drums, new emergency brake, shock absorber, new tires, new u joints, steering wheel, all new gauges, new gas tank, seat belts, recovered seats, new choke and throttle cables, new rear bumper, tail lights, new turn signal light switch, and dimmer switch, also have a new glass for the windshield and weather seals with new windshield hardware. I still have the old carburetor, just needs to be cleaned good. I have the inner frame to the windshield installed. Runs fine, all cylinders have great compression.”
This looks great, though I’m a little surprised it wasn’t redone with the column shift. That got me thinking, was it possible to order an early CJ-2A with a floor shift?
“Very early production with matching numbers. This Jeep has undergone a complete ground-up restoration to original condition. It has the original 134cid 4 cylinder engine and T90 3-speed manual transmission with T-18 Spicer transfer case. Each and every piece on the classic Jeep has been dissembled, media blasted, rebuilt, reconditioned or replaced to achieve its as new condition. This Jeep has been finished in the correct Pasture Green color with Autumn Yellow wheels with Pasture Green pinstripe. This Jeep has less than 100 miles since restoration. Upgrades include stainless steel valves with hardened seats for unleaded fuel, carburetor (original included) and transfer case counter shaft upgrades. Start to finish album and documentation of restoration included. SHIPPING: Actual delivery cost will be the responsibility of the buyer.”

Andy’s selling this VEC CJ-2A along with some nice extras.
“Very Nice and rare early production Cj2a. Has column shift transmission, and rare full rear PTO with drum pulley attachment. Jeep runs great, brakes will need some attention.
Body is overall in nice shape for the year. Has some issues in the floor braces. Frame is overall nice condition, has some added metal on the front bumper that can be fairly easily removed. Original rails and gussets are intact!
Very good candidate for full restoration. This jeep has not been abused or modified, true barn find!.
Clear NY title. Sold as is, with no warranties. Please email questions. Thanks”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
Sean is correct (see comment below). It appears the column shift was not original (as I first thought), especially given the hole in the transmission cover for a standard tranny tower (which I missed). I’d suggest examining it closely before buying.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7400.

(11/17/2013) This jeep takes a pretty photo.
“Hello and Thanks for checking out my Willys Jeep. This is a really great little Jeep and it is restored back to completely original condition and it looks great. It was a total nut and bolt rebuild. Everything is numbers matching and put together just as it should be. It wears its original colors of Harvest Tan with Sunset Red wheels. With only 300 miles on it since the resto, it runs and drives so good, and it very reliable as it starts right up every time. It is such a blast to drive – It goes down the road at 50-55 mph and is actually very easy to drive. The engine is great – it just hums and idles so smooth. The only thing that is not original is that is now has an alternator instead of a generator – and everything works as it should including all the headlights, brake light, and gauges. If you have been looking for one of these – This is a really great one at a great price – Im not trying to make any money on it, I would just like it to go to a new owner who will enjoy it, and show it off like I have. If you have any questions about it, just send me a message, and I will be happy to talk to you about it.”

Well I purchased it thinking I would like to complete the restore and keep it for a long time. Well as life goes things get in the way and I need to sell it. I did nothing to it except put a new battery in it and started it and drove it from the storage unit to home about once a year. Starts and runs great, Always Stored inside – Black Canvas top looks brand new.
