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 .

(11/28/2023) It’s a CJ-3B frame, 2A body project.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1328635957790830
“1946 CJ2A project. CJ3B Frame is in amazing shape, CJ2A body has plenty of rough spots, but still pretty solid.

It as 110 psi per cylinder, new gaskets, new carb, freshly adjusted valves, 12v alternator kit, 12v electronic distributor, brand new radiator and complete new exhaust. I have spare axles, spare transmission and transfer case with the emergency brake, tailgate, brakes, and other original parts like 6v distributor, and Carter WO carburetor. This would make an amazing project for someone with more patients and experience than me. At this point I just miss my old YJ. If you want to know any more information let me know.

Looks solid.

“1949 willys cj3a 14,000$… original engine rebuilt,transmission,rear differential,front differential ,transfer case,new wiring,new original seat covers ,460 miles after rebuild…. Serious inquiries only.”
Listed as a 1948 (probably on the title), this is a 1947 based on the serial number.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3351423438507046
“Has been sitting but turns over. Was running and driving when when parked. A little TLC, fresh gas and a battery and it will run. Frame has some repairs to front horns. I was saving for parts but have decided to sell. I have PA title in hand.”
Unclear how much value is here.

Looks in great shape, but there are some detail issues. Just a few here: I can’t spot any evidence of frame gussets at the front; the driver’s indents are missing. and it is floor shift.

(11/09/2022) Roger Martin spotted this oddly-modded CJ-2A.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1151478875454426
“CJ-2A Runs great”
The body has some unusual mods. Lacks a title.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/560786232528963
“This is a project jeep to finish has all original parts 4cyl motor runs great but has weak cylinder in back of motor it takes little to get driving up to speed but it runs good new water pump,distributor,coil,battery,carburetor,plugs,wire’s,fuel pump,3speed manual transmission shifts good,lock hubs up front,4wheel drive differential transmission good so jeep needs to be finished lights work some.the only thing you need to do is when ready to get tittle bonded in your name”
UPDATE: Post deleted.
The VEC is rough, though seller indicates there is a second body. The GPW lacks a body. Price includes many parts.
“Inherited projects. 46 has a title. They both were running but have been sitting for 20 years. I have body for 46 in garage. Lots and LOTS of parts including 2 additional engines, axels, rear ends, wheels, radiators… literally half a garage full of stuff that i believe goes to one or the other. Price is for everything but you must pick up.”
Listed as a 1942 MB, it seems to actually be a CJ-2A (most likely a ’46).

“Runs and drives . Has oil leak. needs tires call or text [hidden information] $$ 3800 firm Needs restored will not respond to is this available no trade”
My guess is that this is a 2A, though it is listed as a 1944. It looks like the front bumper and gussets have been removed. It looks to have an early 2A grille.
