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 .
Has a Pinto engine.

The use of a differential cover as a hood bump is not something I’ve remember seeing.

“Looking to part ways with my 2a project Parts list in last photo Has title. Willing to put together a package for someone for the chassis and title as a base with whatever else is wanted. Won’t part out until chassis is sold. If bought whole, project needs cooling system, fuel, electronics, and the cage finished… along with some misc. Here’s a breakdown of parts, build your own project. Chassis is selling first. Prices on rest of components are on a bundle pricing and may not reflect separate sale prices. 46 cj2a front clip with title, chassis, links, and axles for $1000”

“1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep $4500 obo
Mechanical restoration 4 years ago. Requires constant adjustments and work. Is running crappy again. Starts but running extremely rich. Dies if you drive it. Could be from modern fuel gumming needle again, could be carb needs cleaned and adjusted again, could be something else. Maybe it’s got carb jet size issue from being set up for 5000 feet but now it’s at 100 feet above sea level. Who knows.
Original go devil motor. New radiator and brake system. Original. 4WD works good. Tranny is good. Maybe 300 miles put on it since motor rebuilt.
This jeep has been in my family it’s whole life. My dad bought it in 1956 in Kansas City from my great Uncle who bought after WW2. I inherited it in 2012 and paid for a mechanical restoration only 4 years ago. This thing requires care and adjustments just to keep it running and I’m done messing with it. It’s never been fully restored. It’s got rust. It’s got the back seat frame too. No cover.
NO DELIVERY. Drag it home.”
UPDATE: The Trailer has sold.
This lacks tool indents, but has full floaters and a column shift. It could be a ’45 or a ’46.

“Hard to believe, I know but this 78 year old WWII style Jeep has no rust either on the body or the frame. Why not?
Because it spent most of its life in Nevada. If you are looking for that near-perfect Army (Navy/Marine Grey) Jeep, this is a No Brainer.
New components include; battery, air cleaner small (original goes too), electronic ignition with Dead Man antitheft switch, four 6 x !6 army tread tires, lights and electrical wiring harness, pintle hitch, fan belt, carburetor, driver side mirror, black upholstered seats, including removable rear seat, Army OD drivers seat (never used), fuel tank & cap, original design heater (in box), towing bar with light kit (in box). New overhauls on 4-cyl. go-devil engine, new transmission/transfer case (old pair go with jeep). So why am I selling it? I am too old (76) and too fat to get in and out of it easily. That’s all I can remember writing this.”
