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 .

“Only the 2nd. owner of Nice Antique 46′ Willy’s Jeep. No rust, extremely clean inside and out, stored inside always, runs good, has a hitch on the front so you can tow it behind a vehicle and have lots of extra original parts that are included. First model marketed for the public. Thanks for your interest”
UPDATE: This is back on eBay
(08/19/2011) Not perfectly stock, but perfectly nice.
“This is a beautiful Jeep Completly restored. Engine and drivetrain has been rebuilt with all new parts. The best way to describe this vehicle is better than new condition, It didnt roll off the line in 48 this nice! Every single part that could be replaced on this Jeep has been replaced. I’m posting this for my grandpa who spent 13 years on this project. The end project was so nice he didn’t want to drive it, That being the reason for only having 60 miles on it. All the mechanical work was done by a professional mechanic, same goes for the body work. The underbody is coated with paint matching truck bed liner. Shocks, brake componets, bearings, rims, tires, radiator everything on it is new. If your a serious buyer please call James at (989) 793-4857 and he can go over everything in detail with you, Like I said I’m listing for my grandpa. I can get an answer for you if you prefer email.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $700.

It’s a project.
“1947 Jeep CJ2A. My son & I were going to build this Jeep, but, decided on a CJ7 instead. We got it running last year, clutch is good, drove it around the yard & gears all work. Frame is very good, body is better than average. We decided on the CJ7 because top speed on the CJ2 is around 40mph. This is a good winter project for someone. $1,300 207 450 6184”

The body appears a little rustier than the seller describes. There appears to be value here.

This needs some work.
“1946 CJ-2A
Classic Willys Jeep – $3100
I am selling this b/c I haven’t the time or the place to fix it up right..
Runs.
Has F-143 Engine. I have fixed a couple things on the motor, such as thermostat. I HAVE a stock gas tank(still in the box) that I bought that will come with this package.
This Willys will need a little work, but not at lot.
Currently it is in a storage unit since I do not have room in my garage to put it anymore. Last time I ran it was when I moved it into the garage in June. (When I last ran it I ran the fuel lines, bowl, and carb dry so it would not gum up the system.)
Please reply to this posting if you are interested. Or you can call 740-739-7952, leave a message if I do not answer, as I am rather busy at times and cannot receive phone calls.
NO Solicitation Please.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.
(03/16/2011) Is the windshield extra tall or is that an illusion caused by the paint stripe?
“1946 willys jeep, rebuilt F head engine, new steering box, call randy”
This looks like a good price.
“For sale: 1946 Willys column shift jeep. Runs and stops, just needs finishing. Comes with working rear PTO.
This was going to be a long term project for me, but circumstances have changed and now I am forced to sell. This particular jeep is rare due to the column shift and the fact that is still have the rear mounted PTO.
Most everything works but the emergency brake needs to be adjusted and the dash light needs to be hooked up. I removed the car seats that were in it and have found some original CJ2A seat frames for it. It does have some old turn signals on it but they do not work, nor do they need to to have it inspected..
The green jeep shown in the pics is NOT for sale.
Please, no scammers or tire kickers, I know what this jeep is worth, and know what I am asking for it is fair. A very rare jeep that will make a very good project for someone.
Thanks for your consideration.”
