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 .
Looks solid, but has some updates.

“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.

“This is a 1946 Willy’s CJ2A that is approximately 70% restored including completely rebuilt engine (L134 Go Devil – Purrs …), transmission, transfer case, suspension, custom roll bar, etc.
The lower floor was replaced due to rust under the fuel tank. I have pretty much everything except for a new fuel tank, which rusted out, and the under seat tool box for the new floor.
I have personally owned this for over 45 years and unfortunately must now sell.”

“46 Willis Flat Fender Jeep CJ2A Way to many mods to list but has lockers front and rear with a sm420 trans small block Chevy. Has been a very capable wheeler but i haven’t had time for it for a few years. It needs a little TLC New ish BFGs alll the way around $7,000.00 OBO”
Seller wants to sell everything but the frame. But, the frame has been patched (at least on the driver’s side), so why not just start over with a new frame? I don’t know …
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/880142686480990
“I am wanting to do a total over haul on my 1946 willys jeep so I need to sell almost everything off of it such as the motor, transmission, axles, brakes, two gas tanks one in the rear and one under the drivers seat, radiator, wheels and tires, roll cage and suspension. If I didn’t list something that you want then just ask I might sell it but I’m wanting to KEEP the entire frame, shell, rack, and winch.
Some details on the parts, can provide tons more pictures and anymore info upon request! All prices are before shipping costs.
Engine: Buick Even Fire V6, brand new edelbrock 1901 AVS2 4 barrel carberator with electric choke, brand new edelbrock 14” air cleaner, brand new spark plugs, brand new edelbrock phenolic carburetor spacer, polished valve covers, stainless steel long tube headers, power steering. PENDING
Radiator: Crossflow aluminum radiator, it definitely kept the engine cool on those long days of crawling. $125
Transmission: Believe it’s a t86 or a t98 with a t18 transfer case and a warn overdrive. Has a total of 4 shift levers, insanely good for going anywhere in the mountains. SOLD Front axle: wide track DANA 30 out of a 70’s CJ5 with 11” disc brakes. Brakes are in really great shape just very minor surface rust not pitting what so ever. Warn manual locking hubs. SOLD Rear axle: Offset DANA 44 out of a 1971 mail Jeep. SOLD
Suspension: I believe that it has 3 or 4 inch lift on it, perfect for crawling. Not to tall at all to make it too heavy. Believe it’s stock leaf springs, shocks probably need to be replaced. SOLD
Roll cage is a bolt in cage, possibly might fit a CJ5 as well. $800”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/03/2022) The back of the body has unusual mods. I”m not sure what’s going on here. The tailgate appears replaced.
