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 .
I thought I had listed this previously, but can’t find it now.

Andy shared this nice looking Cj-2A fire truck. Looks like the front bumper was updated at some point?
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/766307322365705
‘”This firetruck came from out west, it went tru an every nut and bolt restore. Everything on this jeep works and is included with the sale.

This auction will be held at 3276 Springs Hill Rd Salisbury Pa (At The Springs Shop) on May 4th. The top and rear cover look custom. At first I thought the windshield was a CJ-3A, but the round arms suggest it may have been a modified 2A or military windshield. The jeep appears to included a plow.

No battery, so I am guessing this doesn’t run?

This ad indicates it was placed four years ago, but this is the first time I’ve seen it. Maybe still available? One might be a GPW, but hard to say. The other is likely a CJ-2A.

“Very nice 1946 Willys CJ-2A for sale. Mechanically VERY sound. Motor completely rebuilt 2,100 miles ago. Runs quiet, cool and very strongly. Zero knocks or pings. Locking hubs in great shape. Recent brake work done. I would drive this jeep anywhere (and often do).
Tires in excellent condition. Spare has never seen the road. Bestop top and doors included. Mirrors, seatbelts and brake lights/turn signals added.
At some point, a previous owner converted the windshield to a single pane and added electric wipers. Judging by the wiper mechanism this was done a long time ago. I have most of the hardware (not the inner frame) to convert back to the spilt windshields. Could easily be restored from parts available here for not a ton of money.
Many spare/extra parts/repair and service manuals included.”

“1946 Willys CJ2A, v6, 4spd, front disc brakes. I bought the jeep site unseen from an auction. The auction claimed it only needed a battery, which wasn’t true, and I’ve never tried to get it running. The doors (not pictured) are inside the jeep. It came with a New Mexico title, but it is now a Wisconsin title in my name. $3000 (will sell separately)
1940s Spen Model H trailer. This is the civilian equivalent to the Bantam trailers, only more rare. I’m not sure if the side rails are original, but they are well made. $1200 (will sell separately)
Willy’s running gear from a 53 pickup. The radiator, motor, transmission, transfer case, starter are sitting on a pallet and can be started the way it sits using a temp fuel can. I also have the front and rear axles with four newer leaf springs. $1200 (will not sell separately until the after the jeep sells)
Will sell everything for $5,000 or reasonable offer. Located in Black River Falls, WI.”
UPDATE: This rig has undergone some updates. See the pics from 2022 at the bottom of the post.
