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 $2000.
(08/15/2012) Take a close look at the pics of this. It’s unusual. I like the body work on the hood which more tightly fits the old mb/gpw grille. It appears to be a CJ-3B body. I’ll bet completed this might look good.

This looks solid, but the front bumper sticks out unusually far. I wonder how those front frame rails are holding up.
“1949 WILLYS CJ2A JEEP, SERIAL NUMBER CJ2A-21584, with overdrive, no rust, all three original seat frames with new covers, original 4 cylinder engine with high output 12 volt starter, 12 volt alternator, holds 50 to 60 lbs. oil pressure at warm idle, 12 volt electrics, turn signal lights, front seat belts, horn button on floor, 12 volt electric Heavy Duty 8000 pound Ramsey winch with new cable and controller, all gauges work, new dual master cylinder giving separate front and rear brakes, transmission/transfercase was rebuilt with super quiet gears, five original 16 inch wheels balanced with like new Michelin recapped mud and snow tires, spare tire is on a rack that is held in a receiver tube, heavy duty front bumper, front tow bar (1-7/8 ball) is removable.
It is ready for the highway or off road trails, that winch should pull it up a tree, transmission/transfercase shifts smooth, quiet and does not jump out of second. 4 wheel drive works great, smooth and quiet.
It’s not perfect, minor scratches and dings, the tailgate is cracked where the spare tire mount was before it was installed in a receiver tube, it is titled (clear), tagged and insured, come and drive it around and see for yourself.”
This is a project with customer axles.

“1947 CJ2A with steel Half Cab. Great restore project. It’s all there”
This was in a fire.
“Nice little Willys that was restored one point but was caught in a mild barn fire. Frame is great as well as the drivetrain and body is good but needs some attention in spots. The fire burnt the electrical, broke the glass and scorched the paint. I was going to keep it and fix the components to make it drive again and then not do anything to the body except clear coat the scorched paint. I’ve owned three of this year Willys and love them to drive and work on…super simple, open top 4×4 that draws attention anywhere! Comes with a bill of sale..no title, sorry. I will be listing this on eBay as well and taking it to the dog party if it hasn’t sold by then;)
Open to offers but I’ve got more than the asking price into it so no low ballers please!”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $1000. This may have potential.
(12/18/2012) “I was told when i bought it that it was a 1946. I don’t have a title for it. It was a project that was never intended to be on road but could be if you wanted to get a new title for it. I believe it has a Chevy transmission and shortened drive shafts. I never even started working on it from the time I purchased it but will do my best to answer any questions you might have. Comes with a Chevy 305 engine out of an 80’s full size van (no engine installed). It seems to have a lift and some heavier suspension on it. The price is firm but I will take 100 less each week until the price is down to 1000. If no one buys it by that time I will keep it.”

Located fifty miles west of Minneapolis in Willmar, MN, the Schwanke Car, Tractor, and Truck Museum has been open since 1998. It features the collection of Virgil Schwanke, who has been collecting vehicles for fifty-five years. He has assembled over 400 units for display, including tractors, cars, trucks, gas engines, gas pumps, signs and more. He recently added a CJ-2A to the museum.
Virgil uses this CJ-2A as a springboard to talk about jeeps during World War II. You can read more in the museum’s blog post.
