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 .
Huh??

Repalring the hall light.
Day 29: We spent much of the Sunday working on my cousin’s house near Richmond, Virginia. She bought it a year ago and has discovered it is a little more of a fixer-upper than she’d planned. The more time she’s spent there, the more she’s found odd things. She blames it on the previous family, calling it the Exley house. Why doesn’t something work right? That’s because it’s the Exley house.
Me explaining that there are two kinds of shower heads, Speakman heads and all others. She had a Speakman and didn’t realize how good it was (IMHO). In fact, it’s the biggest one I’ve seen, having 8 water jets.
I felt like we ran into the Exley curse when repairing her downstairs toilet. The toilet had a flap that wouldn’t seal. What should have been a 30 minute job, something I’ve fixed in other places, took multiple attempts over two days. I don’t have time to write up all the sordid details, but after the fifth time of removing the tank, I took everything apart and rebuilt it one more time. That finally did the trick.
The list of to-dos … we won’t finish them all, but we made a good dent.
Needing a break from the craziness, we went for a short walk at Marymont Park, then drove to Petersburg to eat some lunch and then see the Trapezium house, which is odd. Learn more in the video below.
On Monday, We’ll be heading for Huntington, WV; Tuesday will take us to Paris, Illinois; and Wednesday will bring us to St. Louis.

(04/15/2018) Jon’s selling his CJ-6. You can see more pics here on Photobucket or on Craigslist. Video below taken during remaining body assembly and before valve adjustment. You can contact him at jonvo@paadgroupllc.net.
Have had this jeep for many years, just recently finished mechanical restoration. Need to sell as too many vehicles & projects. This is apparently a rare Jeep, was not aware until recently. Special Tux
Park parts are included except:
Missing chrome license light, special license mounting is included
Missing special hubcaps or wheel covers.
Missing rear bumper, front bumper included but bent. Front bumper currently is welded on, the Tux park bumper is separate. Could be front or rear I think.
Rear fender covers are in very bad shape, likewise original upholstery. This Jeep apparently had red upholstery which is included, but very poor. The black front seats & upholstery included is period correct however.
All the other Tux park stuff is there, some of the chrome is in poor shape. The hood emblems are included but not installed.
The factory column shifter was replaced by a floor shift.
I have the column shift and it has been rebuilt along with the matching steering box. I will include these at the asking price only.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1900.
(10/01/2018) Ran 10 years ago according to a 2018 ad .. it may have been fixed since then.

https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/d/1946-cj2a-willys-jeep-for-sale/6599162250.html
“For Sale: 1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep. The Pros: This Jeep was purchased as a barn find and partially restored in 2008, L134 engine has been pulled and rebuilt in 2016. 12V with alternator conversion, Seats are recovered in heavy canvas with new padding. Correct 16″ NDT tire and rims, four jerry cans. Was licensed for public road use as an antique car and frequented many parades and local car shows. It has been garage kept. Could be used for parades with a little mechanical know how or on the farm/ranch/deer lease.
The Cons: I don’t have time to tinker with it anymore so here is the ugly list. I rattle canned the paint job in 2008, it has held up but is chipping in areas. Currently the engine does turn over but will not fully start (last driving date was approximately 3 months ago, it was shut off after a warm up and quick mile loop and was parked). The transmission is in need of looking at as it will not shift out of 1st gear properly. She leaks a little oil.
The Ugly: Don’t humor me with trying to look for a Carfax report…it doesn’t exist LOL!”
This has some odd mods.

<– Day 26 – Thursday May 24th: Architecture & Organs | Day 29 – Sunday May 27th: The Exley House Curse –>
On Friday we drove from Philadelphia to Chester, Virginia.
Day 27 & 28: On Friday we drove from Philadelphia to Chester, Virginia. I made a major miscalculation with this decision, as half of Philadelphia decided to head to the beaches early for the Memorial Day Weekend, so the 5 hour drive I expected took 9 hours.
We saw a few interesting things, but mostly it was a long drive in traffic. The drive on the Chesapeake bridge-tunnel was pretty neat. And, I thought that would be the most interesting thing we’d see.
But, no, it wasn’t.
As we drove north on I-64 through Virginia, about where Yorktown is, I was going 70mph in a 60mph, just keeping up with traffic, when this car roared up in the lane to my right, traveling about 85-90. Then, two other cars pulled up behind them. Finally, a noisy (muffler leak?) early black Chevy Yukon(?) appeared to our right in the slow lane, passing us and running at about a 2 O’clock angle to us, several car lengths ahead of us.
Suddenly, the rear driver’s side wheel started smoking. Then bits of tire started shooting across the highway. I slowed, not knowing what would happen. Then the tire exploded (no way he didn’t hear and/or feel it), flying across the middle lane and into our lane. The Toyota truck ahead of us didn’t have a chance and ran over the tire roughly.
I’d slowed enough to dodge the tire, but I wasn’t so much watching the tire as I was the driver, because he wasn’t slowing down. He was still driving about 55mph without the tire, bits of tire still flying off his rear rim. And, he didn’t seem to care that the tire was gone.
The Toyota truck that had hit the tire moved from the fast lane to the middle lane to either (1) complain or (2) notify the driver that he was missing the tire. Apparently, the driver didn’t care, as he never slowed down.
Seeing my chance, with a wide-open fast lane, I floored the jeep and created a large amount of distance between me and the Yukon.
Ann suspected the guy may have stolen the Yukon and didn’t want to stop driving. I don’t know why he wouldn’t stop, but it was one of the strangest things I’ve ever seen.
So, we landed late in Chester at my cousin’s house. We spent Saturday helping her fix some things around the house. Other than that, we’ve been working on my cousin’s house in Virginia. That’s a nice change of pace.
