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 $2700.
Looks like a great price.
“1947 Willys Jeep With a Buick V6 It’s a lot of fun just need the space Freed up”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
The engine is from Kaiser-Frazer, so isn’t original to the jeep. I believe the disassembled photos are the latest ones.
“”46″ Jeep CJ2A , 1st year available to for civilian purchase. All original parts to re- assemble. Was going to do a frame off restoration but am going a different way. Comes with a top, doors, and plow. Has the original supersonic 4 cylinder motor. Currently sitting in my garage out of the weather. Would be a good restoration or an opportunity to add an SMC motor to make an off road vehicle. Do not have a title so I would supply a bill of sale to acquire one.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
Not sure what all work this needs to run and drive.
“1946 Willys. Project vehicle ready for you to finish. Has been sitting for 6 six years.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400.

“Project. Running Flat head last summer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $700.
(03/03/2020) That’s one ugly patch on the passenger’s side.

“2 projects both have a tag but no papers green one is a mb chassis no engine the tub is fiberglass in decent shape bonded to a cj2a cowl I have good fiberglass fenders for it and good hood no windshield .. the blue one is a 47 cj2a no engine if your interested come look .. I will post more pics soon .. I will not trade and I’m firm on my price for both if that’s 2 much find one somewhere else. If you ask me any questions I’ve already answered in the above post I will assume you are not qualified to restore a 73 year old vehicle and you will be ignored. I do not need to sell I’m just realizing I have to many projects and would like to move south and can’t take them all”
I think that’s a Koenig half cab.
