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 .

The work so far looks good, but needs a new body.
“1947 Willys 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.

(04/24/2011) It’s a project.
“I have an Authentic Willy’s Jeep CJ2-A from 1946. We have the windshield frame, pto, two newly restored seats, Willy’s stamped hood, the body, along with five military tires. The engine was stamped by Willy’s and is a flat-head four cylinder. The front fenders are in great shape and one has a hood latch. These parts are all hard to find and could help to restore a CJ you may be working on. I am listing it because I need the room in my garage and I do not have the time to restore it. I have more pictures of it and I would like $2,000 or best offer. ”

I suspect the VIN on this is just under 30,000? I’m a little surprised that both the dataplates and the vin plates are missing. I also think those are the ford rims that don’t have the proper center size.
“This Jeep is truly a barn find. The body is in great condition and the chassis needs building. Theres only minimal rust but the engine is probably locked up. The transmission shifts and it does roll. I bought it to put the body on a chassis that I had rebuilt. This Jeep has the rare column shift that shifts fine. Floorboards are good, frame is good but it just needs alot of attention. I just dont have time to finish my project. Title in hand. Been in a barn all its life till I bought it. Its been in a warehouse since.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2950.
This Texas hunter is part of an estate sale.

Is that some kind of seat mod in the center of the body?
