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 $10,900
(04/24/2011) This has some interesting mods, including the unusual approach to mounting the gauges. I wonder if those are custom headers. They appear to have an unusual slope (compared to the ones I’ve seen).

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(09/13/2011) This appears to have three data plates, so I’m wondering if this is a ’46 titled or sold as a ’47.
“original 1947 willys jeep good condition runs great needs tlc.. no rust.. call for more info.”
Glenn spotted this one. The flattie was being parted out, but only the frame and a few other parts are left. The body parts have been sold. I thought it was unusual enough that i would post it anyway. It appears to be part DJ and part CJ.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Lots of parts here.
“CJ2A Jeeps for sale. Two were running when parked with the third purchased as just a parts Jeep. I have clear titles on two. All three have complete drive trains including motors, starters, generators, carbs, front and rear axles, along with transfer units. Should be able to make two running units with parts left over. I probably have $3000 into all of these but will take best offer for all three.”
Runs and drives. Was listed at $2500.
“GREAT RUNNING GEAR- ENGINE – TRANNY – REAR AND FT END A FOUR WHEELER OR A STREET LEGAL JEEP, YOU CAN DRIVE OR TOW THIS ONE TO THE WOODS! ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Looks nice. This might be a ’46 as it has 3 dash plates and might have tool indents.
“Jeep CJ2A built in 1942, first registured in 1947. it was completly restored 14-years ago and put into storage untill a couple months back. everything works and runs great. $3500.00 or best offer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
It looks like it needs a little more than ‘minor’ work.
“Runs good needs minor work. Call for more info. Ask for Roberto or Carmen”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
(05/27/2011) I’m not even sure this is a parts jeep.
“Complete running gear with the rare PTO option, Go Devil engine, Does not run, 3 spd, original diffs with driveshafts. Have more jeep parts.”
UPDATE:Was $4200. Status Unknown
(07/26/2011) Either those wheels are big or the jeep is sagging a bit.
“1947 willys look at it and you will love it””
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1700
(08/23/2010) It looks like there have been some updates on this.
“GOOD JEEP EVERYTHING IS THERE. MOTOR REBUILT NOT TO LONG AGO. Please do not email for more info,”
It’s different.

This has a pretty big winch on the front.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(09/23/2011) It doesn’t run, but did when the seller drove it into the grass.
“1946 Willys (Jeep) CJ2 still has the flat head 4 cylinder engine. I drove it to where it is parked now. The brakes lost fluid and I was going to bleed them. That was three years ago. The upholstery on the seats is shot. It was red before someone painted it yellow. The front axle still has the original hubs so it has never had lockouts installed. The speedometer is missing but I have one around here somewhere. I dont know the correct mileage. I do have a title. Two of the tires are flat now. I have a tilt bed trailer that will carry it easily if need be. The spare has no tire.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
Here’s a slat grille that was listed as a ’46 or ’48 by the seller.
“1946 and 1948 Willys Overland Jeeps.

This doesn’t run.

I’m pretty sure this is a 4 cylinder, not a 3 cylinder.
“1948 Jeep Willys

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
“This is a project vechicle.Not street legal as it is. Lots of rust but frame looks good. I had it registered and was driving it on the road up to about five years ago. Have used it since on my rural property.Has not been driven for about six months.

Cash only.Price firm and non negotiable.”
That just might be a VEC.

(09/25/2011) This looks like a good project. The body appears very straight (and might be fiberglass). Note the lack of drains holes or a gas inlet.
