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: Price dropped to $4500. I am not sure how this can still be around for that price.

(Note: This was originally listed in Manchester, NH, for $7500 in 2021 (that ad is still live): http://www.ewillys.com/2021/02/05/1946-cj-2a-manchester-nh-7500/)
“1946 Jeep Willie runs and drives four-wheel-drive works as well will trade for endural motorcycle or side-by-side call”
It runs.

“1947 Willys 134 engine, new fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel pump and rebuilt carburetor. Engine sounds really good doesn’t smoke. Needs some adjustments to the carb (not my expertise). Seats reupholstered. Brakes work. Clutch is worn completely out and makes a lot of noise so will need hauled. Tires are old. Great start to a cool project. What you see is what you get! Clean title.”
This was being sold as part of an estate. Unclear if it is still available.

“1946 Jeep Willys NOT A WRANGLER! unknown mileage turns over but doesn’t start. In order to start it needs to have the fuel tank cleaned, fuel system flushed and new fuel filter to have it running. Stored in a shed for the last 30 plus years. Selling in an estate sale, must sell no trades.Clean title in hand”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(06/20/2022) Could be worth a look.

“1947 Willys I bought this for a project, but never got to it. This is just a roller (no motor or transmission) I do not have a title (will need a bonded title) Located in Amarillo Texas $2500”

(09/12/2022) This appears to have the Hudson steering mod. It also has a Koenig hardtop with what I presume is a light bar for towing that is stored above the hardtop.

“1948 Willys jeep with hard top, mostly all original stuff. Not much known on this as owner has passed away. Not sure when it ran last. Flat head 4engine. 4500 or best offer.”
UPDATE: Seems there are still some jeeps here (at least, the ad is still up).

“I am selling a collection of various Jeeps, including Willy’s wagons/trucks, CJ2, CJ3, CJ5, CJ7. Most are complete, just have not been started, run or moved in a few years. Selling all to clear the land. Please message for phone number please as I will NOT do back-and-forth texting. Thank you for your help in that regard. I also have others ads up for vintage aluminum trailers, Mercedes, Studebakers and a few other vehicles from the 1950’s thru 1970’s. Pictures are but a sample of what is available. Thanks for the interest!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
Runs, but doesn’t shift into gear.
“If your looking at this add most likely you know a bit about these old jeeps and maybe even a bit about the Bantam trailer that goes with.
The Jeep runs but the transmission won’t go into gear, however it does roll so it’s not stuck in gear. It seems mostly original albeit some repairs done over the last 75 years. It needs attention at every point so it’s a good candidate for a restore I think. I’ve got a green title for it.
The trailer is an old Bantam with some repairs over the last 70+ years, new tires it appears but not title. Can issue a bill of sale if needed.
I’m keen to sell both as a combination but am willing to separate if one desires and the terms are agreeable.
If add is up I’ve got it, I’m wary of scammers.”
Unclear how much value is here.

(02/01/2022) Listed as a 1949, the serial number for the chassis is near the end of the 1948 production run. This lacks an engine. The hardtop does appear custom.
“1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep. $2000/obo. Sincere, old Montana jeep, surprisingly rust-free body, some bondo. No motor. Title (Helena, 1971); title says 1949 but I was informed the serial number is 1948 production. Unique, custom, well-built, steel full cab, therefore no original windshield frame or tailgate. Floors minor rust-out, bed very solid and straight, toolbox replaced. Some metal sheeting tacked on exterior of body. Original radiator and toolbox lid included. 16” rims, tires have air but need replaced”
Runs, could use some brake work.
