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 .

(04/14/2012) This has a rear PTO with a drum pulley. It looks like a nice jeep.
“This CJ-2A spent most of its life on a farm in Nebraska, and was typically kept in the barn, which would explain the relative lack of rust. The paint looks to be the original black. In 2003, it was purchased from the original farmer’s grandson by a classic vehicle collector and mechanic who brought it to his shop and home in Colorado. The collector, who has worked on many older jeeps, purchased this one because it is so close to original condition in every respect. He kept it as a personal vehicle on his farm in Boulder for five years. In 2008 he sold it to a historic architect out there, and I bought it last summer.
This is equipped with a rare working PTO (power take off), that was used on farms to run equipment such as saw mills, threshing machines, and other farm machinery.
Because of slow and hesitant starting, the 6 volt system was changed to a 12 volt system in 2009. Included in the conversion were a new generator, new battery, new wiring, headlights and some distributor components. The starter motor and other components were not changed. At the time of the 12 volt conversion, a new carburetor, fuel pump, trailer hitch ball, 4 pin trailer wiring and used seat were also added, as well as the new top. The Jeep still has the original paint scheme of Princeton Black, also called “Americar Black,” with Harvard Red wheels. The wheels were repainted before 2008 and the new tires were added at that time. The Jeep’s original gauges, horn, single windshield wiper and heater all work. In 2011, an old weld repair on the side of the block was discovered, almost out of sight, below the distributor. There had apparently been a crack at some point in one of the outside (cooling water) chambers of the block. Even though the old weld repair was holding fine, and the compression tested well, the old repair was completely redone by an engine expert company in Virginia. (Terry Walters Performance Engines). During that process, the engine was removed from the Jeep, the block completely disassembled, the crack area re-repaired, and the engine reassembled. Various parts in the clutch and flywheel, along with motor mounts and distributor points, were replaced at that time.
Since I bought it, the wheels have been pulled off and brakes and bearings rebuilt; choke and throttle cables were replaced, and a new fuel sensor put in;
new seatbelts, mirror, blocks and strap on hood were added. A couple of weeks ago I shorted out the horn wire, so that is currently not working.”
More parts for sale. The tub is fiberglass. The hood looks like a modified bobcat hood.

Frame and rolling chassis is OK. Wheels and tires do NOT go with Jeep. I am keeping them for another Jeep I have. $300 cash. Possible hauling for a fee ?? Located in Watseka. Trade for WW2 Jeep parts???”
Fabulous deal! This will go quick. It even runs! I want it!
“1946 Willy’s CJ2A Jeep. The good – I brought this up from Colorado so it is not a complete rust bucket , has been converted to 12 volt, runs and drives enough to be loaded on a trailer. The Bad – Brakes are dried up and will need rebuilt, Flywheel ring needs replaced. This jeep sat in a field for 15 years, I changed the oil, lubed the cylinders and primed with fresh gas and it fired right up. Sounds real smooth once you get past the old gas. I have driven it around the yard to move it , but never no distance due to No Brakes. Great for Parts or to Fix up. Asking 700.00 obo will provide bill of sale or can assist with title work.”
