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 .

“Willys CJ2A 4 cylinder, 3 speed, manual. Front disc brakes, great tires. Runs great.”
That looks to be a 1970s Bobcat body with the passenger filler indent along the side.

“Bought a number of years ago and just never got around to it. All it boxes and tubs. No seats, no fuel cell. 231 odd fire V6 x2. One is a short block as the long block I bought it with has a cracked block. I intended to swap the heads and intake and never got to it. Engine stand comes with project jeep.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500.
(09/16/2023) Doesn’t run. The tub appears to be a replacement tub.

“All original, complete 1946-1947 Army Jeep. Original engine, body in excellent conditions. Complete original example. Garage stored, tool box under seat working as it should. Motor turns over but has not ran in a few years. 3A windshield, Tags shown on frame and match numbers on motor. Lost title, serious buyers only.”
It doesn’t run, but there may be value here. It’s got a fiberglass body.

“1946 Willys Jeep for Sale
This Jeep is not running. I took it in trade and was told it was running when parked many years ago. I have had a battery in it and the engine does turn over. I was told it is a 1946 so I can only assume that is correct. The body looks to have been replaced with a fiberglass body at some point. From the cowl back it is fiberglass. The front fenders and inner fenders are steel. It looks to have the original running gear, although the shifter seems to be stuck in neutral. (There is no Title) The sale will be Bill of Sale only

“This Willy’s needs a complete restoration and I have pulled the engine transmission and transfer. I also have the front fenders and hood removed. It comes with many plastic totes of parts as well as the yellow hood as well as new engine mounts and overhaul kit for the transfer. The Engine is stuck from sitting. The frame appears solid and straight with the frame tag still on it as well as the body tags.”
This appears to be an M-38 body and front clip atop a CJ-2A chassis.

(08/16/2023) This appears to have an unusual hardtop. I’m not sure if the “complete body restoration kit” is a new body? Or body panels? Or?
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/238007025630669
“Comes with complete body restoration kit and windshield Also has many small parts right down to original screws for rebuild Have title Some body rust Good flooring, engine, frame is solid Has mounting for snow plow Was on the road two summers ago It is a 1947 but with the better engine from the 50’s that had much more spunk AMC 4 Cylinder engine upgrade Many extra parts included that be used for repairs Could be driving with very little effort or completely restored with parts included”
Unclear how much value is here. No description provided. It has a Sears-brand-type hardtop.

Not quite all original, given the bumper, windshield, roll bar and other changes, but still may be worth a look.

“Willys jeep for sale🎉 (Do not have Title) Engine runs great and transmission is also great condition. Needs new water pump, battery, and will eventually need new tires. (Do not know mileage) Brakes do not work. This is a manual transmission.”
The top on this is an interesting one. I thought it was a Porter & Reed (the front portiion appears identical (maybe built from that design?), but it has angled edges along th sides of the top rear rather than rounded ones. Another Kanas-based aircraft-related manufacturer of hardtops was Blue Star, but this doesn’t look like one of theirs.

“95% bone stock 1947 Willys CJ 2a Jeep. Orig flathead 4 cylinder engine w/3 SPD trans and stock transfer case. Engine has not been started for approx 20 years but turns freely by hand. Body in decent shape w/75 years worth of dings, dents and rust. The hat channels are needing the most work. The top (aluminum)is a unique “military look” that, according to original owner, was built and installed by a Wichita aircraft manufacturer in 1948. The interior seats, including the rear seat, are correct. The transmission and transfer move into their gears freely but the unit seems to leak an excessive amount of fluid into the driveway. The engine also seeps oil from the oil pan drain plug. Frame is in excellent condition showing only a slightly bent front bumper end. This is a very original 1947, the perfect candidate for a resto. Currenly registered and titled. Numerous extra parts included: f & r axles, trans / trans case etc. Rolls freely on old tires.”

No title with this CJ-2A trencher. It’s going to take some poking around to see what value is here.

“Nice little Jeep Willy’s that comes with a parts Jeep. Has been a good running Jeep for the past two years for me and my family on the farm. It has a new carburetor and I put an electronic distributor in it. Things that will need to be fixed is a brake line, an ignition since I lost the key in a recent move. The starter was rebuilt and the shop that rebuilt pit the wrong gear on it so it hangs up on the flywheel. Last summer I would pull start and it would stay running all day if I wanted to. Haven’t tried to start this year yet but it should be fine. Do not have title”
Unclear how much value is here.
