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 pics of the body parts are along the wall (still boxed up I think).

Technically, the first year of production on civilian jeeps was 1945. This CJ sounds like it has an interesting history.
“This is the Original Grand Daddy of all Civilian Jeeps- the Willy’s CJ2a is the first model year of the post WWII civilian market run. This is a very rare collector’s item. This is unit # 70007. She is in excellent shape. This one was kept in a Detroit Show Room for over 25 years prior to being in storage for 10 years. When the dealer passed away his estate sold off all assets and that is how we found her, 5 years ago. We have the original Magazine Adds from Time Magazine, July 15, 1946.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
I *think* I see the column shifter on this, but I can’t tell for sure …
“

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1050.
Not pretty, but it runs.
“Willy’s Jeep, Needs some TLC but starts and runs. No issues with 4×4.”
Doesn’t run.

A reader purchased this deal.
“My wife says I have too many toys! I bought this to restore and play with and I have never gotten to it. It is stored inside I bled the breaks but they probably need a break job to be dependable. Starts and runs great. Motor really purrs. It’s in nice shape for how old it is. Sure would be fun to fix up or restore like new or play as is. Come take a look .”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.

(11/13/2010) This looks like a good buy in Southern Texas.
“2 Willys Jeeps – A ’61 with blue title and do not know the year of the other jeep. Both were running (4cyl engines) but have been sitting for a long time and need work. Good restoration project or part them out. Both for $1,000.”

The rear driver’s corner sure looks awfully square. It has some classic metal rims.

“1946 Cj2a willys jeep. Runs very good, motor has been freshly rebuilt. it has a fiberglass body, hood, and fenders, so no more rust…It will need seats.. Also has new exhaust.. frame is in great shape.”
It sounds like they just want to get rid of this. It appears complete.

Now that is a bent bumper …
“1947 Willy’s Jeep CJ-2A 12 volt flathead 4 cylinder. Extra chassis with transmission and top. Needs restoring. Runs good and 4 wheel drive works.”
That bumper looks suspiciously DJ-3A to me.
“I have a mostly complete CJ2A for sale, it’s just more of a project than I have time for right now. It has no engine or seats. There is a windshield frame but no glass in it. Has trans, transfer case, axles, etc. Steering is intact, it rolls and steers fine but one tire will only hold air for a few minutes. I have a spare front and rear that will go with it. NO TITLE.
