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 .

This has a rear winch and probably a rear PTO.

Has some updates. Looks solid.
“I am selling my 1942 Willys CJ2A. One of the first Jeeps ever produced. The drive train and engine are in great shape, as well as the axles and driveline. The motor is a 3.8L buick V6 that i just tuned up and registered for road use. It has nice hi-back seats, working gauge cluster, padded roll bar, windshield wipers, fold out and down windshield, dual exhaust, Warn M8000 12volt winch, updated front and rear axles, updated suspension and lift, jerry can and spare tire rack on the back, optima yellow top battery, overdrive installed, tires are 7.00-15 LT. I have a top for this that I have never installed. Gets great gas milage! Odometer says 3311 but I don’t know how many miles are actually on this vehicle. The body is probably off of a 1947-49 not sure. Title is listed as a 1942. Would make a good run around vehicle or a fun restoration project.”

(10/17/2014) Runs and drives, but needs a little more work.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $5000.
(05/22/2015) This jeep has a Parkette Body and Bobcat hood.
“This is a running gear from a 1948 CJ2A. The body is completely fiberglass; with a Chevy stock 350cid. Brand new tires, rims, and paint job. Been in storage for 5 years. It’s a awesome old jeep and very light for the sand! It come this the tires next to it.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
How about that ‘roll bar’? Looks like a good price.
“Great project. Has a lot of potential. No title but should be real easy to get one.”
This seems to be a mix of parts, but appears to be mostly MB.
“This Willys is a true survivor. The id number is a MB number, but is considered a 1947 by the DMV. The tub is a MB. The driver side has been smoothed over with bondo at some point, but the ribs for the tools can be seen on the inside. The window is post war as well as the M38 grille. The jeep will need to be seen. It needs tlc for sure but is a driver. I just ordered a new Holley 1904 carb which set me back $350. The one on now runs, but leaks a little.
I have the window rubber, just no glass. I also have the wood stops for the hood as well as the brackets for the window hinge. No glass.
The engine is what I can best figure is a 1953 F-Head Hurricane engine. It has the generator, but is wound to a 12v system. It has Model A tail lights. It comes with a complete Willys-Overland Arctic Cover or hard top. They fit MB’s as well as M38’s.
The tires are too big, so I pulled off the rear, but the front still cause it to rumble a bit. When it sells I will be taking off the rear wheels and putting back on the big ones. You will need to put new rubber on unless you don’t mind the rumble and wobble they cause. ”

There could be value here.
“Have an 1946 Jeep Willys CJ-2A and various extra parts for sale. A great restore project. Been kept in a barn for the past 10-15 years but was working fine when it was last ran. Trying to clear things from the barn so can’t get great pictures at the moment but posted what you can see. Email only.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown**
Seller has three jeeps in different condition and prices.
“We have 3 Willys Jeeps that have been sitting in the barn for about 30 years. One is complete with overhead valve engine and plow ($1200) One has flathead engine and the cab has been cut up and replaced with plywood ($1000) and one is a rolling chassis only ($500). Make an offer on the lot or individually.”
It’s a project that might have been a VEC CJ-2A at some point.

“This is a nice project jeep that I have invested twice that asking price, it is just becoming painfully obvious that I just don’t have the time to work on it.
