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 $3000

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $700
(05/15/2011) This is a mix of parts and mods.
“This is a 1946 ? willys cj project Ive been putting together. The frame is from a early cj5 and has 4 inch lift springs with a locker in the rear axle. It also has cross over steering with a manual box. The frame has surface rust but is straight and very solid. The tires are 34-9.5-15 super swampers mud bogger tires on old willies rims. There is good tread left with a couple torn lugs and one tire was grooved for better traction. Body is in no way attached to the frame it is just sitting there. The front clip is sturdy with a couple dings along with the windshield frame and tailgate. The tub is very usable for off road but has had a large portion of firewall cut out to clear for a v-8 and has old patches and repairs. There is no engine however I do have transmission transfer case and drive shafts that can go with it. This would be really cool but I have way too many projects and Im getting into oval track racing. It will be quite a bit of work yet or just use for parts. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
The body looks good.

Actually, I don’t think the tub looks all that bad. That’s a nice shot of the extender on the back.
“1947 Willy’s Jeep CJ2A Model. We are the 3rd owner and have owned for approx. 2 years now. Previous owner had it for 50+ years. It was told to us that it had approx. 38000 miles on it.

It is approx. 50% or more unassembled and have approx 95% or more of all original parts. Motor does run great. It does need a new body tub due to the original being to badly rusted. We have original tub with all ID plates still attached. Also have service manual and pics prior to restoration. Any other questions please email me and I can get my father to contact you because he knows more about this than I.”

UPDATE: This sold for $6600 on eBay.
This is a column shift.
“Early Willys Jeep 1946 column shift. I would say 99% original!!! All tags match; Dash, Firewall, Bdy and Frame SN: 33037. Toe board and talegate match 24255. The Jeep runs and drives fine for it’s age. I think the engine is original to Jeep when new SN: 33934 holds a little more than 20psi @ idle and about 35-40psi running. It is a column shift but someone cut the shifter @ the floor and put a top shifter in. I have the shifter that was cut and a good one that is included. I have all the linkage and a tranny cover for the floor, but do not have the top plate for the tranny itself. All the wiring is original and most everything works all 6 volt. Coil has been moved to the block but I have the one that mounts on the dash with the key. Very little rust two holes one on eather side in the floor “Wood in hat chanles” that make it rust. Someone has pachedunder the gas tank, tool box solid. I do not have the tail light. All the parts that are never there are!! crank pully guard, splash shield under starter, sheild on frount cross member etc all in place. I am telling you this is one ove the most compleat and original I have ever seen. VERY EASY TO RESTORE. clear Oregon title questions call Dave 541-892-4557″

“Own a piece of history! This jeep would make a wonderful project for the guy or gal that likes to restore vehicles. The jeep comes with its original hard top. It has been a long time since anyone tried to start it, and the seats have since been removed. Everything else appears to be there.”
