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 $3500.
Lots of diamond plate on this body. The windshield was conversion is unusual.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
All the parts to make a complete jeep? Besides the engine, radiator, and wiring I think some tires would be necessary.
“This Jeep has all the parts to make a complete Jeep down to the headlight bezels and has windshield (not pictured) Needs an engine, radiator and wiring. Its on four steel rims now (not pictured). Has some rust, nothing overwealming.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
“1946 Willys jeep CJ2A with the 134 L head engine that was stuck and soaking it has broken it free. The engine runs good it just smokes. I don’t know if the rings are stuck or one might be broke, don’t know. I have not drove the jeep much since it has been running. I drove it about two miles and it drove good, transmission and transfer case work good. The brakes are going to need attention. The tires all hold good air. The windshield is broken, and somebody cut the dash up, I think they must have had a different set of gauges in there. The jeep has some rust, has lockouts, and still has the orignal seat frames. The will run and drive.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
It’s not often you see a three pronged plug outlet in a jeep’s engine compartment.
“Here is a very nicely set up classic Jeep. It has a smooth running Chevy throttle body fuel injected 305/350 V8 engine, with a five speed Borg-Warner manual gearbox; it also has power steering. The engine starts easily every time, and idles smoothly and sounds nice. The engine setup has its’ computer/diagnosis plug-in mounted under the dash. There is a idle/throttle control lever attached to the shifter and there is a sticker on the dash that says Warn “all range” Overdrive. The transmission bolts directly to the transfer case, so I’m assuming that it has a GM transfer case……possibly an older K-5 blazer. A note in the Jeep says it has a AMC 20-456G rear end, (other #s on the note say 41-9 F5G). It has a custom built radiator w/heavy duty aluminum shroud, dual exhausts with long tube headers (surprisingly quiet for such a basic/short exhaust system). The Jeep has Willwood front disc brakes with a manual proportioning/adjustment valve just by the drivers’ seat (see pic). The front axles have manual locking hubs, they say Superwinch.L”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500. Note the suicide doors.

(02/17/2013) James pointed out this body has several patches, which I missed. And originally forgot to mention the strange cowl thing (vent?). I wonder why all the holes in the windshield frame. (see pic 3).
“1948 Willy 2As Jeep. The first civilian jeep model. Used originally as a farm vehicle. I purchased this jeep in 1994 and slowly rebuilt it keeping mostly original parts. It runs well and is fun to drive. Stored inside. I would like to have the space.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This stock jeep in original condition includes a Sears trailer.
You are bidding on a 1946 CJ2A Willys Jeep. This jeep has not been restored and is in original condition. As you can see in the photos the life of this jeep is easily documented from the day it was ordered until today. It started out life in New Hampshire where it was purchased for farm life. Shortly after purchase the owner died and the jeep sat for many years. A car collector who lived next to the farm took the jeep in but never used it. That is who I purchased it from and have been the proud owner for the past 20+ years. Please note that Connecticut is not a title state, so I do not have a title to go with this jeep. I never got one and can not supply you with a title. The jeep, in perfect running condition, has 7218 miles on it as of today. Hopefully you can see in the photos how nice the body is, but if you can’t and you would like to come see the jeep in person and give it a test drive you are more than welcome to come and inspect it for yourself.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.

Lots of pics available of this jeep.
“This Jeep has been carefully rebuilt from the ground up over 3 years by my father, a retired certified ASEA mechanic. Starting from a sandblasted frame, new-off-shelf (N.O.S) parts were used whenever possible. Every piece has been carefully rebuilt and reassembled – you won’t find a cleaner, or more authentic rebuild of a 1947 Willy’s. Lots of fun to take off-road, or cruise around town with the windshield down. See below for details on each component. “
