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 $8995.
Colin has been able to supply additional info in the comments.

“1946 CJ2A Willys with the original 4 cylinder Go-devil engine and 6V electrical system. Based on the Serial Number, it falls in the very early category, basically right after WW2. It runs very well for its age. The body needs some TLC from someone with a welder, I had intentions of getting one and doing the restoration, but life got in the way. It has the original 6V system, Title and data plates match and I am told are in range for what would be expected to match the engine. Asking $5,000 OBRO Cash, No Trades, and will not part out.

“Military style with new tires and wheels. Complete rebuild kit for a flathead engine.”
The price listed is $25,000, however maybe it is supposed to be $2500? It looks like it is a lefty. It has a DJ-3A hardtop (CJ-5s has the side windows in the top).

“1946 Willys Jeep for restoration. Jeep needs to be gone through, motor needs rebuild. Jeep is a good and straight canidate for restoration, has rust in front floors and side cowl panels.
I believe this jeep is a combination of a civilian CJ2a and a military M38. It looks like someone put an m38 tub on a civilian Cj2a frame. The previous owner told me he ran the numbers on the motor and it came back as a C2a.
There is no title on this vehicle as it predates when titles were issued, and I do not have a registration for it. Bill of sale only”
Seems like there’s value here.
