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 body has some patches.

“Please read this detailed description before contacting me with questions. This a parts car or MAJOR project. This was my rock crawler up until last summer. It has a jeep CJ2A frame and body and Toyota drivetrain. 22R motor (cracked block at bellhousing connection). Five speed Toyota transmission (worked well when I parked it) and Toyota axles. Here is what is also included in addition to what’s in the pics:
Extra Toyota drivelines
Four extra, almost new, CJ2A leaf springs (two front two rear)
CJ2A Soft top
Original front seats
What is missing:
No front axle

You must be able to tow it away with a flat trailer. For the right price, I’ll deliver with my trailer.
At this time I don’t want to last it out.

“1946 cj2a jeep. Good condition.”
Looks in good shape.
https://newjersey.craigslist.org/cto/d/pompton-plains-willys-cj2a-1946/7171241587.html
“Stored indoors for most of its life this 74 year old Willys is in mostly original condition. Floors, body and frame are all solid. The original flathead 4 runs strong, does not burn any oil and does not overheat. Military style tires are in good condition and the 4 wheel drive works as it should. The winch is also functional. The Willys was repainted sometime in the 1960’s. As shown in the first picture a rollbar and vinyl top with doors will come with the Willys along with additional parts. This Willys was always a Civilian Jeep (CJ) and was never a military vehicle. It has been in many parades and is always a favorite.”
