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 .

“The first 3 pics are the jeep as it sets now. The next one is as it was 4 years ago. The rest are during a restoration in 2015 that never got finished and of the hard top that has never been on it since my dad built it the first time 15 years ago. The motor was rebuilt in 2015 but rear main still leaked and the centermost head bolt wouldn’t tighten (Dad tried). The hard top windows are made out of polarized tinting plexiglass or something, they’re nice. All the seats etc. are still with it. Everything’s a little rougher since 2015. Clean title and tagged. Had a lot of fun driving this to bike rallies in 2006-2009 era.
The price is for the ’46 Willys, the hard top, the original motor, and a 4.3 Chevy V6 Dad had thought about putting in it. Not parting out top (very rare) or anything else separately at this time. Come prepared to do your own loading 🙂 Text me… I don’t answer unknown numbers. Thanks, Four Oh Five 408 four six five five”
Could be worth a look. I can’t tell how solid the body is.

“Off frame restoration. 12 volt conversion. Front disc brakes.Powder coated wheels.OEM cloth wiring. All parts are rebuilt or new. Price is negotiable”
UPDATE: **SOLD** I am told it went for $2000.
Given the lift and the rear PTO, there could be value here.
“Guess what? I have been asked again to find another new owner for another new sweet ride! Sometimes I feel like I must be dreaming! I am guessing from the split windshield, marked Willys windshield frame and head that she is a 1946-1949 Willys.
This forgotten gem has plenty of original parts that include the head from the original motor, fenders, hood, grill, PTO, fuel pump, driveshafts, exhaust manifold, gauges, carburetor, fan and more!
The Jeep itself is in very restorable condition, minus the motor, but transmission is still in it! Tires hold air, but are very weather cracked. It appears that the floor had been replaced at one time. Rolls freely, will come with Bill of sale only, no title.
The pictures aren’t there best due to low lighting and shows in some pictures as it being yellow it is not, she is white. If you need additional photos please ask and I will do my best to get them. If you are reading this ad it is still for sale! I will not reply to anyone only asking is it still available. Asking $2600 or best reasonable offer. Cash only no trades! Vehicle is located in Beloit”

“I have a collection of 1946 VEC CJ2A Jeep parts for restoration or just parts. I was going to restore this but I have an aircraft restoration project that is more demanding of my time.
Parts include: Rolling chassis, (full floating rear axle), with tub, 4 like new 600×16 military NDT tires, engine, transmission/transfer case, radiator, rear driveshaft, drivers seat frame, non-VEC windshield frame, tailgate, hood, front fenders and grill.
Missing parts: Front drive shaft, exhaust system, fuel tank, VEC windshield frame, passenger seat frame and both rear axles.
The tub is interesting in that there is and opening around the steering column for the column shift linkage it also has the cover and mounting holes that look original for a floor shift. The trans I got with it is a top loader T90 floor shift.
There is the usual rust in the floors, toolbox and hat channels.”
Supposed to run good.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500.
(08/22/2019) For some reason, the ignition switch was dropped down a few inches. It could use a bumper, some rubber under the windshield, and some hood blocks. Maybe the pics were taken before it was completed?
“I am selling my 1948 Willys CJ2A. I bought it a couple years ago as a fun toy. It was beautifully restored by the previous owner. It is definitely a great little vehicle and it gets lots of looks, thumbs up and honks (the good kind). I truly just don’t have time to drive it and can use the extra space. It’s time to move it along to someone that will actually have time to enjoy it. Everything is mechanically sound. It starts up right away and runs better than most of my other classic cars. Truly a great car to just get in and drive. I typically ran most of my local errands in it because it’s fun to tool around in and a cake walk to park. Please let me know if you have any questions, I’m definitely not an expert on these but I will help in any way I can. I’m also happy to send any specific pictures you might want. Thanks for looking!
Just paid the registration, good through October 2020
Title in hand and in my name
P.S. I will not respond to low ball offers. I’m in no rush to sell. I’m happy to continue running errands in it =)”
