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 .

“This jeep was gone through in 2005. The engine was completely re-done by a professional machine shop, the transmission was rebuilt, and most of it was sand blasted/sanded and re-painted. The top was purchased then. It also has full doors that are not on it right now. It has all canvas seats and a heater. I’ve used it for special occasions, and an occasional short trip, but I’m pretty sure I’m still under 10,000 miles. I just don’t use it enough and would like to pass it on to someone else. It just sits in my shop..”

“Willy’s Jeep CJ2A 1945/46
One of just a few Willy’s Jeep CJ2A with a transmission of three on the tree column shift. I have had this Jeep for over 4 years, love it but unable to spend any time restoring it to it’s original glory. This
Jeep is stock and has most original parts. Lights work, gauges work, seats are in good condition with no rips. If you are mechanical and can put sometime in to restoring this gem, I have seen them listed for over $30k fully restored. The reason I put 1945/46 down for the year, is because the vin number of
11433 falls in to the year of 1945, vin’s 1001 – 11824. So, the vin number puts the Jeep in to the year of 1945, yet it’s written on the Title as a 1946 Jeep. Go figure? I bought the Jeep in 2011 from a CHP
Motorcycle Policeman who kept on his farm south of San Jose. Like I said, I bought the Jeep as an
investment because of it’s unique one of a kind transmissions, 3 speed column shift. I’m not going to waste my time with tire kickers, so serious inquiries only please.”

“This is a full restoration on an all matching numbered GPW. The Jeep is out-fitted with a “Simulated” firing 50 cal. Conveniently installed to hide the gas and oxygen bottles that have quick dis-connects for easy installation and removal. The engine is a GPW engine that again matches the Data Plates and frame number and was built by one of the best in the business. These engines are fully balanced, ported and polished and made to run like “Swiss Watches”. Parade siren installed for those who need a warning before the gun gets fired! Restoration was done by people who know what factory Jeep should look and perform like. Fully licensed and titled, ready to go!
Not restored to original, but sure looks nice.

“This is a vintage World War II Jeep that was restored approximately 10 years ago. Original frame, chassis, driveline, transmission, transfer case, etc. Engine is period correct, but not original. I believe a new body was installed during the restoration. Vehicle runs and drives well, including the 4 wheel drive system. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500
(09/22/2015) It’s listed as a 1946. This VIN is incorrect as well.
“Noting that the parts for this and the Willys were completely interchangable, however parts produced by Ford include the cursive ‘F’ character. This GPW includes only Ford parts, which adds to the rarity of this vehicle.
This is a fully functional, mechanically sound GPW. All gauges work. The top is after market but simply swapped to make original. I have both the shovel & axe, which were included with this vehicle from the factory.
I am currently working on obtaining a title. I have owned it for several years and never really considered having to let it go, so I didn’t persue the paperwork to this point. It has been stored inside and frankly has only been driven a few miles since I’ve owned it. This is one awesome vehicle to own and I regret selling it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
(08/15/2015) Has a very unique paint job, but lacks rear lights.
