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 .

(11/25/2019) Not quite ‘all original’.

“all original runs great”
Not sure how much value is here. It looks like it has a replacement body.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $18,000.
(10/26/2019) It appears the body has had a great deal of work done to it. Certainly not original, but looks like pretty good work. I imagine there isn’t much demand for a Gator-themed CJ-2A.
“1946 Willys CJ2 in as new condition, original drivetrain with the addition of a Buick Odd Fire V6, UF Gator colors, drive it to the game to support your team.”

UPDATE: Still Available.
(03/29/2020) This militarized CJ-2A lacks front frame horns and seems to lack the holes for the CJ-2A positioned key. So, either this has had some work or it’s not a CJ-2A frame and body.

“Newly restored 1940s Willys Jeep. Has New OD Green Canvas Top (Not In Pics) This is about as good as it gets.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4250.
This lacks some gauges and rear lights. There’s no rubber gasket along the windshield bottom.
“I have a 1948 Willys Jeep for sale. It’s a 4×4 and can’t goes through anything. Tires are brand new and runs and drives. Lots of new parts on it and just got tuned up. Freshly painted. Comes with gas can and flag.
I’ve had it at my deer lease and love it. Only selling because I have now have a smaller deer lease and don’t use it. It runs and drives great and I can send a video of me driving up a rocky hill from this week.
The only bad thing is the brakes are giving me trouble right now and don’t always work. Not sure what’s wrong but brakes are very affordable and easy to work on. I just haven’t had time to mess with it. Also it does not have a title because they were military issued. But comes with bill of sale and can get title easily.”
Has a few mods. Why the extra ‘rivets’ around the edges? Is that holding on a skin? Or just for looks?

Also has automatic trans, warn overdrive, 4.88 axle ratios, 11″ brakes all around (just converted to silicone brake fluid so new wheel, master cylinder and soft hoses!), dual fuel tanks, full roll cage and a back seat (needs to be reupholstered).

Looks like a classic 1980s build with the diamond plate, V8, warn winch, and bumper mod. More pics of this would be great.
