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: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Every inch of the vehicle is fully restored from original parts??. . . It’s a fraudulent claim; Yet, the bidding on this has been pushed to $20,000 (driven mostly by one bidder). This seems fishy to me. If you are bidding on this jeep, email me.

One runs and one doesn’t.
“I have a 1946 willys jeep and a 1948. Original flathead 4cylinder motor in both..the 48 is a good parts jeep can be sold as pair or seperate..transfer case is out of the 48 but runs good..no title..”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
This runs and has no title.
“Took this on a trade out of curiosity mostly, but I simply do not have the time to restore it right now. I was told it was a ’46, but I do NOT have a title or any papers on it. We had it running and driving on a boat fuel pump/tank (not included) a few months ago–it definitely needs a carb rebuild, but it ran surprisingly well. It is currently not running. The body/original fuel tank/seats are shot, but the frame and drivetrain appear to be solid. Again I do NOT have a title, but i’ll write you a bill of sale. You will need a trailer and a way to load it–it is currently sitting in my barn. I also have a new alternator and oil lines for it that I will include. I am NOT interested in trades”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
The tires sure aren’t any good.

Looks great.
“1948 Willys Model CJ-2A Jeep — older (1991) restoration by Willy’s of Minneapolis, MN costing $10,000 (have receipts showing complete mechanical rebuild and repaint). I am told the Jeep originally came from a North Dakota farm. It has the original tub which is very solid with no evidence of rust or major bodywork. Cosmetically, the Jeep is ‘parade’ ready; it’s not a show vehicle. The paint shows very well and has a few chips and scratches here and there. It is very clean from top to bottom. Mechanically, this jeep is very tight and everything works as it should. It starts, runs, and drives great — like it did in 1948.
Recently, the tires, brakes, shocks and springs have been renewed all around. It was converted to 12 volt with an alternator for ease of charging. When this conversion was made, they removed the oil filter assembly. I have a new replacement assembly from Walck’s that goes with the purchase as well as owners and parts manuals. There are no leaks, but a drip or two will show up on the floor after sitting for a time. The Jeep does not come with top bows or canvas top.”

“I am selling my 1946 Willys CJ2A jeep. Completely redone so all you have to do is drive and enjoy. Jeep has seat belts and a Bimini top. This jeep is fun, fun, fun and won’t last long. Best way to contact me is call me at 502 297-3048 or email.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500
This looks in good shape. The pics show a battery missing.
“Comes with a bunch of accessories bought over the years at the Hershey swap meet and various other place. The engine has been completely rebuilt by the owner (among other things), who happens to rebuild engines for a living so you know it’s been done right. It’s been garaged for many years and has had a recent paint job, though there are some spots places where retouching might be required. It runs and can be demonstrated that it drives fine.”
The seller believes the jeep with the hardtop is a MB, but I don’t see it.
“I have 2 willys jeeps, one is a 1946 cj2a willys with a 225 dauntless v-6 out of a newer cj5, needs to be restored, the other is a 1945 mb willys, came from Colorado and has original steel hardtop made by Rawson-Koenig, heater and a original engine that has been in pieces for a lot of years.
