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: Was $3200. **SOLD**
(11/062011) This appears solid.
“1946 Willys Overland CJ2.
Runs good.
Motor is a 1950’s Willy F-Head.
This is a Hunter’s jeep.”
Steve dropped me a note and shared some pictures of his jeeps. Both the flattie and the CJ-7 look great! If you need any help driving them, just let me know 🙂
He writes, “The blue one is a 1978 CJ7 and the Willys is a 1948 CJ2A. I’ve had the CJ7 for 27 years and got the Willys from my dad last year. The Willys has been in the family for 50 years, most of it spent with my late Grandfather in California. When I got the Willys from my dad, it was in rough shape, and I spent about a year fixing it up. I really enjoy driving both, and the Willys gets a lot of attention.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This looks great, though to be period correct in needs a few changes.
“Frame off restoration with EVERY part rebuilt or replaced to period correct condition. New seats and seat frames, new gas tank, new tires, new brakes, new gauges, etc. Transmission, engine, differentials, gear boxes, wheel knuckles, everything…rebuilt with original parts. This vehicle does have the original PTO unit on the back. It’s a pretty cool and unusual feature. No rust, powder coat desert tan paint. Powder coat was done by a professional hot rod shop. Runs Great! Great FUN!!! I have a shop full of automotive projects and it’s time to move on to the next one.”
It’s a project.
“Here is a great Jeep for someone who has the time to put into it. I got this project for my son and I and we never got to it. It is all complete, and I have a set of axles from a 1976 CJ to go with it for the right price. I also have a “Go Devil” engine that will make it a complete package. (I have many extra parts as well) I am interested in moving this ASAP as I need the room. I have the clean title in my name. Please only SERIOUS buyers, no SPAM or LOWBALLERS. Don’t waste my time as I will not respond if you don’t include your phone number. (too many spammers)”

Wayne spotted this unusual frankenjeep.
“1940’s Willys jeep truck not exactly sure what year it is,would be a good restoration project, 6 cylinder flat head engine In it wouldn’t take much to get the engine running, just body and interior work”
What we have here is a frankenjeep. This has a DJ-3A body with tailgate, a CJ-2A windshield, a drivetrain with what appears to be a rear PTO, and what appears to be some CJV-35U Bezels.

UPDATE: **SOLD** was $1000
“1948 WILLYS JEEP CJ2A: All original. Flathead 4 cylinder go devil engine. Original T90 transmission and original T18 transfer case. This Jeep does run, drive and stop however it needs total restoration.
The floors need redone. The previous owner did a bad repair job. There is some rust here and there as well. It has been converted to 12v. I have had this jeep for several years and it has been my primary off road toy. I just recently got a different jeep so I no longer need this one. I used this one for some parts for my new one. This one is still complete and can be made road worthy with little work. Right now the gas tank is not hooked up and it will need either the generator hooked up or a alternator installed. I can start and run it for the buyer off of a gas can. It has always ran well and has never left me stranded. This Jeep can be used for parts or with very little work can be made road worthy again. I drove it into my shop last weekend to remove the parts I wanted for my other one so it has not been sitting for very long. I do have a clean and clear title in my name. I have a bunch of Willys parts that I will not be needing so if the buyer wants some I may throw some in with the purchase of this Jeep. Basically cleaning up the garage a little! I will not part out this jeep only selling complete. $1000.00 cash FIRM! No I will not take a penny less. Not selling it because I need the money just don’t need two Jeeps around anymore. If i can’t give it away at $1000 it can sit in my shop and i will use it for parts. ”
This looks good.
“1947 Willys Jeep, restored, new engine, red with new black top, new interior.(304)645-5064”
http://blacksburg.craigslist.org/cto/2780383591.html
It looks solid and nearly original.
“Very solid ole’ Willys Jeep made in 1947, was redone a little over 5 years ago, garage kept, rust free. The Engine and transmission all work great, although the transmission does leak a little, it needs a new seal, the clutch is working very well. Brakes are spongy and could use a little work, prolly adding brake fluid would do the trick. Runs down the road smooth and is road legal, I have a clear title for this jeep as well. The jeep has 16″ NDT military tires, and the roll bar is bolted on, so if you do not want that you can get rid of it by unbolting it. I have the original rods and a bikini top for it, or I have a aftermarket snap on cover that can be used as well, all included with the jeep. If you have any questions just email me plus I have more pics of the jeep if you need them.”
