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 .

(02/17/2013) James pointed out this body has several patches, which I missed. And originally forgot to mention the strange cowl thing (vent?). I wonder why all the holes in the windshield frame. (see pic 3).
“1948 Willy 2As Jeep. The first civilian jeep model. Used originally as a farm vehicle. I purchased this jeep in 1994 and slowly rebuilt it keeping mostly original parts. It runs well and is fun to drive. Stored inside. I would like to have the space.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This stock jeep in original condition includes a Sears trailer.
You are bidding on a 1946 CJ2A Willys Jeep. This jeep has not been restored and is in original condition. As you can see in the photos the life of this jeep is easily documented from the day it was ordered until today. It started out life in New Hampshire where it was purchased for farm life. Shortly after purchase the owner died and the jeep sat for many years. A car collector who lived next to the farm took the jeep in but never used it. That is who I purchased it from and have been the proud owner for the past 20+ years. Please note that Connecticut is not a title state, so I do not have a title to go with this jeep. I never got one and can not supply you with a title. The jeep, in perfect running condition, has 7218 miles on it as of today. Hopefully you can see in the photos how nice the body is, but if you can’t and you would like to come see the jeep in person and give it a test drive you are more than welcome to come and inspect it for yourself. (read more below)
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was listed at $11,999.

“This Jeep has been carefully rebuilt from the ground up over 3 years by my father, a retired certified ASEA mechanic. Starting from a sandblasted frame, new-off-shelf (N.O.S) parts were used whenever possible. Every piece has been carefully rebuilt and reassembled – you won’t find a cleaner, or more authentic rebuild of a 1947 Willy’s. Lots of fun to take off-road, or cruise around town with the windshield down. See below for details on each component. “

The seller believes the engine is original. However, the ID# starting with 4T indicates this was originally used in a late 48 or early 49 truck (thanks to the 2A page for that info)

(12/19/2012) This seems a little strange. The seller bought this twelve years ago from someone in Arizona. It still has the Arizona title. What’s strange is that instead of new pictures, the seller appears to be showing pictures from Arizona, which I think means the pictures are twelve years old? You gotta love the tiny rope around the bumper, lol.

This seller calls this a M606 styled CJ-3B. It appears in good shape.
“Very nice, original unrestored 1964 Willys CJ3B in the service skin of the Vietnam war period. These jeeps (last of the Willys Flat Fenders) were sent by the hundreds to Vietnam They were not used tactically by the U.S but in security roles and staff duty vehicles in garrison around Saigon ect.
This vehicle in in very authentic configuration as the 3Bs put into service during that war.
Original condition with no rust or rust repairs ever..
The 134 F head motor powers this vehicle, transfer case and lockouts operate perfectly. There is a chipped tooth on the 1st/reverse gear that makes
a noise in 1st and reverse but does not effect the performance of the vehicle.
It has a military canvas top and windshield cover.
I am the 3rd owner, the 2nd owner was the original owners son who took possession of the vehicle only 4 years ago just before I purchased it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
