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 $550
Here’s a project. Are those hubs on the back? It might have a full floating back end.
“1948 Jeep Willys a project to finish or willing to part out. Has an iron duke motor with less than 35,000 miles on it. Selling for $550 or best offer. Make a good enough offer, we can’t refuse.”

(12/03/09) It’s unclear what 10% still needs to be done on this project.
“1947 jeep CJ2A 90% restored runs grate would make a nice 1st car or toy to hit the beach or hills with.”
A reader named David needs to sell his project. You can view all the pics at http://www.littledigger48.com.

This Jeep is so sad that it looks like it is crying.
“This is a 1946 willy”s jeep cj 2-a that needs work. the body is rough, frame is good, some of the windows are broken and it hasn’t run in 5 years. before parked in storage it ran daily as my dads parts car for his garage. it has a rebuilt 3 cylinder with a manual trans. it has a metal hard top which is also rough. it was in storage til the windows were broken and then moved to my garage where it was for the first few years and then i moved it outside and tarped it . this could really be a great jeep if someone had the money and the time, i have a ten car garage with ten to many projects and i’m trying to consolidate my collection, please email me with any questions and i will do my vest to answer them, thanks for looking.”

Has a 3A windshield on her now but have a 2A windshield for her also. Before I bought her, someone put in a bucket seat and cut holes (4’x5″) in the back fender wells for the buckets to fit, wouldn’t take much to fix. I have both 2A seat frames in nice shape with new seat cover, seat pans, foam & hardware, still in the box, also 47 back seat with original cover and springs (no rips or holes). I also have license plate brkt, leather shift boots,hood block and other parts that where made by members here on the form. There is other thing also that I have bought, or put on, just can’t think of it right now. The tool box floor is rusted out, but the pass, floor is good to go. I no for a fax, had kids jumping in it for 2 years. Factory color was mich yellow but was primer grey when I bought her. I was going to do a ground up restore but things have change and would like her to go to a good home.”
Here’s a good looking flattie.

Here’s a stock CJ-2A that sold this afternoon.
“Nice original, unmolested 1946 Willys CJ-2A Jeep. This Jeep was owned by a local service station for many, many years, and spent much of its life stored inside. When the owner died, a co-worker and I purchased it and stored it in his garage. He began replacing some of the safety items like brakes and fuel tank, but lost his garage space to his wifes car. I bought him out, and had planned to finish the couple items but do not have time. The engine was running before the old rusty fuel tank was removed. It turns over with good compression, and has spark. The new fuel tank needs to be installed, and a new fuel line run. He also did some work to the brakes, but the lines are not finished (I think he replaced all the shoes and cylinders),. There is also some wiring that need to be replaced (cloth covering rotted)….”
This is only 2wd? Interesting ….
“2wd, 4 cylinder, new brakes and brake lines, new starter, new alternator, new cap, points, wires; new belts and hoses, has back seat.”
