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 .
Lots of miles, but looks good.

“This is a project Jeep with some rust, but is very repairable. The frame looks solid.

“1948 willies jeep good condition . hasnt bn running for 8 yrs when it was parked. $2500 buys it”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
This popped up during my searches. Looks like an interesting project.
“I am selling the disassembled remains of a real WWII Autocar Halftrack. The rear half that would have once had tank tracks is missing. It comes with the patterns and some 1/4 plate to make replicas of the missing 1/4″ armor. It is missing the flathead 6 cyl engine and transmission. My suggestion is to use it for parts to restore another halftrack, or use the patterns I’ve taken from a WWII White Scout Car to convert it into an armored scout car. The last two photos are so you can see what a restored version of this thing would look like. Keep in mind that its made of simple flat plate and the only body work to be down would be on the front fenders! It comes with about 250 brand new of the very expensive armored bolts that hold the body together.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $2800
(05/10/2014) The yellow jeep has a rear PTO.

(04/20/2014) This might make a good restoration candidate if the amount of rust is low.

David Silberman pointed out the ‘Leaping Lena’ article from the October 1941 issue of Popular Science (I thought I’d purchased this issue to scan, but apparently I didn’t do that). It’s an interesting review of the prototype jeeps. You also can view the entire issue on Google.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.

(08/13/2012) This has a M-38 windshield and a lot of diamond plating.
“1946 Willys CJ2A for sale. Originally belonged to my dad, it was his toy. I inherited the jeep back in the 1990’s. It has remained garaged and unused for over 13 years. The title could not be located when he passed away, but I do have adequate probate paperwork reflecting my proof of ownership. Not an easy decision to let it go, but it should be used more often and I really could use the garage space again.
Buick V6, 2-barrel Carburetor, Hydraulic Clutch, Buick (tilt) Steering Column, Power Steering, Tow Bar.
New wheel cylinders, brakes and turned rotors all around. Also new Battery and cables, new chrome air cleaner and element.Runs, drives and stops great. For off road use only. Video of Jeep running here: http://youtu.be/LG6nnBhXKCA”

The owner contacted me and sent a photo of what this jeep looked like prior to the work that was done. It appears this was some type of APU jeep. Note the hood and the holes in the dash.
=============
On Monday I spent the day repairing Mom and Dad’s tractor mower, fixing Mom’s computer, getting the chainsaw and weed eater working, and more. Dad made sure I was doing everything right, as you can see in this photo.
On Tuesday I got a chance to work on Biscuit. I started by cleaning up the frame some more so that I could deciding how the engine, tranny and tc would be mounted. The T-18 I’m installing is a bit shorter than the automatic TH-350 I’m replacing, which is the reason for the redesign.
Here’s where I started today.
When I bolted the T-18 to the adapter to the Dana 20/18 (Dana 20 housing, Dana 18 gears) I discovered my custom mount is too tight against the T-18. So, I’m going to have to alter that.
Parminder Mangat shared this custom flat fender build from India.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
This looks like a great price.

It was a project that my Dad and I had, but he passed away and we never got the job started. I am ready to let this memorable antique go.”

(02/27/2014) That rear bumper is unusual.

“For Sale is my 1948 CJ2A Willys Jeep. These jeeps are tough as nails and really cool! (Also starting to get hard to find in good condition. The frame has been reinforced to maintain rigidity, and is in great shape with no holes. The body is in WAY above average shape, with only a couple of holes in it. Gauges work, all lights work, brakes work, 4×4 works great in high and low. Jeep has new carb, new tires, tubes, new headlights, new headlight switch, new fuel tank. Also has a brand new coat of CARC military paint which is nearly indestructible. Has rear PTO!!! Clean Kansas title, can be driven home today.
This jeep is very much above average shape, but still has its quirks (it is a 66 year old vehicle!!),so if you are looking for a show jeep, this is not for you. If you are looking for a very rugged, dependable, and fun go-anywhere vehicle with some style and flare, then check no further!”
