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 .

(04/08/2011) It’s all original, except for the left front tire . . . And, the electrical system, the front bumper, the grille parking lights, the passenger seat, and on and on . . .
“Very old model Willys.
Original Everything minus the front left tire.
Missing title, information plate, & electrical system.
Engine frame and most of body is solid.
Not much to it. Very bare bones.
Will need work but its an incredibly simple system and parts are available online.
The guy I bought it from hot-wired it and with a rigged up gas tank had it idling.
Willing to part with it for a good price so make your offer.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700
(05/31/2011)It’s a project that needs minor work.

(10/27/2009) This jeep sports a Volvo engine, which is certainly unusual. This has been available since last July (when it was priced at $10k).

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900
(05/17/2010) This still needs work.
“1948 Willys Jeep runs and drives great. Most of the underneath has been redone and is new including springs, shocks, tie rods, etc. at a cost of about $2500. The body has been rhino lined inside and out and does not look bad with no rust. Problem with the rhino lining is they also did the dash and other areas that probably should not have been done and although very well protected it would look better if it had not been done.
The transmission and drive train I am pretty sure are original.
One of the amazing parts of the Willys is the engine which has been replaced with Ford 5.0L, 302ci with a Carter ASM 750 CFM Carburetor. The block shows it is a 69-73 before they were detuned and compression lowered when a muscle car was still a muscle car. Yes it runs excellent and will easily smoke all four tires if you want.
Things left to do are some electrical, gauges etc. which are all good just need to be hooked up (not hard and I may do that before it is sold). Also still has more play in the wheel than I want which is coming from the steering gear box since everything else has pretty much been replaced.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.
(12/12/2010) Here’s a CJ-2A worth a closer look. The windshield also looks a little unusual. Based on the pics at the bottom, I’d guess this was an aftermarket extension (rather than a custom job).
“1946 Willys cj2a Jeep. This Jeep starts runs and can be driven. It is in very good shape for 64 years old. It has a PTO driven winch mounted on the front bumper. The seats have been recovered. it has new fuel lines and a new 6 volt battery. The Jeep has a leak in the brake system.
The jeep came from a cabin in northern Arizona town. It also has some 1950s modifications, that extends the rearend for extra storage. This jeep has a valid Arizona Title and is priced for a quick sale this weekend.”
I guess the pic says it all. Biscuit got plenty of looks as I cruised northward from Boise. I’m still catching up on both emails and postings and it will probably still take a couple of days to get back into the swing of things.
There looks like some value here.
“1946 Willys … This is a rolling chassis. the body is in great shape. It has no title. would make a great project or be used for parts. I also have a few extra parts (transmission, tires, radiator). $650firm. Email for questions or want to see it.”
