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 .
That little steering wheel must be hard to crank without powersteering.

Here’s a nice Jeepster that includes an 8-track tape player.
“Parade car. This jeepster is an older restoration from Ohio. It was a Shriner’s parade car and was in the Jeepster Club of America. I have owned and enjoyed it for three years with no problems. It has a Buick V6, power steering and an automatic transmission. I’m sure the original mileage is over 100,000 miles but I have no idea of the true miles. It was obviously restored at one time but would need to be redone at some point if you want a show car. It looks good going down the road and garners lots of attention and thumbs up. Top is good with a boot and all side windows. It is the original color scheme which was a hard to get color. It has sixteen horns and a great eight track with your very own Johnny Cash tape! I can tell that it has had some rust repair in the past which is to be expected in a 60 year old Jeepster. Buy this just in time for your local 4th of July parade. Vehicle is for sale locally, I reserve the right to end this auction early.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5250.
This appears in good shape.

Here’s a nice looking CJ.
“48 Cj2 Jeep. Has later F-Head motor completely rebuilt. Holds 45 lbs. oil pressure hot idle. Has had all overlap seams removed. Has some body filler but not much. Has urethane liner on the under side and inside. Mechanically very good.”
Here’s a nice looking Tuxedo Mark IV CJ-5 out of Tucson.
“Up for sale is a 1966 Jeep CJ5A Tuxedo Park Mark IV model. In 1966 there were only 1190 of these upscale sporty CJ5’s made which makes it somewhat of a rare desireable model. This Tuxedeo comes with many of the stock factory options such as the chrome front and rear bumpers, tail lamps, windshield hinges and hood latches, Tuxedo hood badges, hubcaps that sport the “Jeep” emblem, tranny column shift, drop down rear license plate holder, etc. Some of the optional factory equipment are the factory body steps, two stage front and rear leaf springs, single lever transfer case shifter, rear back seat, etc. Some of the non-stock equipment are the front high back seats, roll bar, heater, spring shackles, tires and rims. It has the original 4 cyl. engine that runs good but smokes a little.The 4 wheel drive works good, no issues. The body is in overall good shape considering it’s age. It has some minor rust issues in the normal rust areas that Jeeps get (photos illustrate areas) but overall minor and easily repairable. The body floor boards and hat channels are very solid and in great shape, as the vehicle has spent all of it’s life in southern California and southern Arizona. Vehicle does not come with a title. It was last titled and registered in California, but I never got around to titling or registering in Arizona therefore it will come with the California paperwork from last owner and a notorized Bill of Sale from me. I really hate to sell this rare Jeep considering the many years I looked for a nice easy restorable Tuxedo Park, but due to family health issues I am forced to sale it. Vehicle is sold in as is condition, no warranty expressed or implied. $3000 obo. If you have any questions please feel free to call Ernie @ 520-444-0632.”

Here’s a nicely restored jeep, but I see nothing to indicate this is a ’45 or a ’46. The serial number puts it as a ’47. It is actually titled as a 1942.
“This example is one of the earliest CJ-2A Jeeps built by Willys in 1945. It was restored about 10 years ago. During the restoration, it was decided that this example would be painted to resemble a pre-1945 military Jeep and painted the appropriate military color with military numbering. Also, the spare tire was moved to the rear of the vehicle (military Jeeps had rear mounted spare tires, civilian Jeeps had side mounted spare tires). It should be noted that while this vehicle is a 1945, it is titled as a 1942. The VIN number is 106459 and is located on the original VIN tag on the firewall which also designates the model as a CJ 2A. The mileage indicated is approximately 21,000, however, like most vintage cars, there is no way of guaranteeing if this is original …”

UPDATE: Sold to an excited eWillys reader!
This is the 2nd beautiful restoration from Vista I have seen. The first one is posted here. The seller is as meticulous regarding the description as he is on the restoration itself!
“Background on VEC #14,513 – During the past seven years I have restored four 1946 CJ2A jeeps to original condition. This jeep is by far the best and is the rarest of the four. It also represents my last jeep restoration project. I work at the San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park and my first restoration of a CJ2A is being used in a trained animal show there every day. I had so much fun, with this project that it got me started restoring them for fun. #14,513 is my best restoration and I expected it to be my “keeper”.
As far as I can trace the history, except for the last year before I purchased it, when it was in Oregon, this jeep is a California native (at least for the last 50 years, when the ownership trail went cold). It has no rust. In the 1950’s it was owned by Phil’s Garage in Torrance, California. It was set up to tow vehicles back to the shop. It was impeccably maintained by the garage mechanic, who I never met, but whose workmanship and attention to detail 50 years ago, I still admire today.
This jeep has matching serial numbers on the firewall, dash and left front frame horn. Behind the column shifter, is the T-90 transmission. The column shift option was dropped early in the first year of production (at around #30,000), because the GIs returning home from the war preferred the floor shifter transmission like the ones they were used to driving in their various theaters of operation. For this reason, there are very few, original equipment, column shift VECs left ….”
