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: Status Unknown. Was $3500.
This seems to be a mix of a GPW chassis and a VEC CJ-2A body.
“Bought this for my dad who doesn’t have time to restore. It does run. I bought new tires, new seats, has a hard top with it. It’s running pretty good.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9800.
I can’t tell what the cage-looking thing in the rear cargo area does. Maybe some kind of lockbox?

It appears to have an MB/GPW body and engine.

“I am selling my 1947 CJ2A. This is a great jeep! Starts, runs and drives great! Tow bar for pulling behind. I replaced the starter about a year ago. Leaks a little oil.

“1946 willys jeep /V6 with overdrive n hard top n correct gas tank for jeep”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4650.
May need a little work (seller mentions “some problems”), but looks in reasonable shape.
“1946 Willy’s CJ2c 4×4, This is a classic vintage jeep of Willy’s fame with its 4-134 “Go Devil” flathead engine. This engine was completely overhauled several years ago but has very seldom put on the road. Still starts and idles fine, but difficult acceleration, probably due to sitting too long and moisture accumulating in tank. Has five new correct military tires with less than 20 miles on them. Body is in great shape for a 72 year old vehicle. I have done many things to it over the 30 years I have owned it in order to maintain and give it many parts it didn’t have when I got it.
Has a best top on it which is easily taken down in 5 minutes because I think it looks so much cooler without the top. Transmission still fine as well as the four wheel drive and the high and low gears. Been a long time since I have driven on the roads but start it weekly to maintain it. There will be brake work to do. I had all new brakes, master cylinder and lines put in several years ago, but think all fluid has leaked out. Easy work for the right person. This would be an excellent jeep for someone who desires a full restoration or just to get it on the road again. I have really loved this CJ but it is time for someone else to enjoy. These are Hard to find. some problems but still worth a look.”
Has some updates.

“Willys Jeep Lovers – This vehicle now available for sale.

It’s a nice looking and a clean jeep, too. I suspect the price is based on the “professional appraiser” valuation.

Not sure how much value is here. If the chassis is well done, a person could widen the body of this and maybe make something a little different. I think this might ride hard, given the suspension is built to handle a lot more weight than a jeep?
