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 $950.

“Very clean 1946 Willys CJ2A. All original except an important upgrade to a dual reservoir master cylinder (for safety purposes). Excellent working condition, I have done all the work on it over the past 3 years… fairly extensive restoration and has been painted in its original colors; Pasture Green with Autumn Yellow wheels. Paint is not perfect 8/10. Body is rot free thought there are certain areas where rust was once a problem. No shakes or wobbles at speeds in excess of 60+ MPH. Flathead 4 cylinder is reliable, leak free and powerful. I use it the way it was intended to be used when it was built in 1946, it’s a work vehicle but it is maintained properly. No mechanical issues: holds good oil pressure, no overheating, 4wd works, etc.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $6000.
Look solid.

(03/28/2014) It’s a project.
“Hi I have a 1946 willys cj2a. It’s a minor project that I
don’t have any money to put into.
I have two engines for it. The original L134 flathead and a v6 ford fuel injected. It has a t89 tranny in it. 3speed on the floor with high low 2 and 4 wheel drive transfer. It has drivers and passenger seats along with a back bench seat over a tool box. It has a roll bar. Newer windshield.
All it needs is an engine dropped into it and steering.
It’s a solid project that just needs someone to give it some love and spend some money on it.
I’m open to trades being newer trucks, fun sports cars or classic 4x4s. Toss me an offer or trade but please be reasonable. This is a great truck for almost 70. Interested in straight axle toyotas and other 4×4 rigs. Toss me an offer”
