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 .
Seller must sell quick. It appears to have an overdrive (not sure about the claimed PTO). It has a funky rear end carrier, too.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8300.
This combo appears worth a look. This has a rare Carson Car Craft hardtop.
“I don’t want to sell the” 45″ alone, just because. Both run , the 48 has a homemade plow set up. and I would add is crazy clean. Garaged and driven for 35 years, then I bought it. The “45” is a VEC, vin. 10365, good bones. And also comes with a great story ! Open to calls , but I have a limit on how much jeep talk I can do.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3400.
Runs, but needs brakes.
“Hard to find, desirable early Willys with shifter on steering column. This was the first civilian model jeep made after WW2. Serial number 27040. Stored indoors and owned by the same person for the past 40 years. Starts and runs great. Brakes not currently working. Solid, nearly complete vehicle would be great for restoration or would be perfect to use around farm with little work needed.”

Looks solid.

This is an unrestored jeep and trailer.
“Not restored. Excellent condition 30,000 miles. Always garaged Completely original”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer
Looks like a good restoration or “keep as is” candidate.
“This was purchased as a restoration project. My interests have changed and I would like to see this go to someone who will either restore it or just get it out and enjoy it. The truck came form the original owner in Fresno CA about 12 years ago. It will run. The valves need adjusted and it needs tires to get it on the road. You will not find the typical rust around the windshield and the cab on this truck. Feel free to contact me with questions or offers.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay. Now lives in New York (See comments).
Nice looking fire jeep.
“1948 Willys Fire Truck for sale. Excellent running and aesthetic condition. Very low mileage. This jeep was bought brand new by the village of St-Esprit (Québec, Canada). Only one owner after the fire department.”
It’s a project.
“Time for second owner for this vintage 1950 Willys Jeep that we used in the orchard, on the farm and for hunting in the Columbia Gorge. This Jeep was purchased new in 1950 by my parents. It has a paltry 19,000 miles on it. It would be a great restoration project! The engine is non-operational and needs to be rebuilt but nothing is frozen.”

UPDATE ***: Jurgen spotted this one. The ad for this jeep has resurfaced, this time in Ireland. Note the text claims the body panels has their “rivets” removed using a special tool. The panels were welded together via spot welds, not held together using rivets. It’s the same claim made in the text from last year: https://www.vintagestefano.com/for-sale
UPDATE II: A Craigslister reported that the seller is away and keeps raising the price as emails are exchanged. “Guy claims he is govt working but keeps asking for more and more info if you respond to his add…beware”
UPDATE: This jeep was on eBay a couple days ago. The seller listed it in College Station, Texas. The same jeep just popped up on a West Virginia Craigslist for only $4000. The text in the ad is similar to the text shown down below.
Here’s the current scam ad: http://huntington.craigslist.org/cto/5644379040.html
“1946 Willys VEC (Very Early Civilian) CJ-2A Jeep – Museum Quality Restoration
Offered is a 1946 CJ-2A that has undergone a frame-off, nut and bolt, rotisserie restoration. This is a very early civilian version, identified by square windshield plates, column shift, tool indents, ‘F’ script bolts in drive train, frame tag on the outside of the driver front gusset and three data plates on the dash.
I acquired this Willys Jeep CJ-2A from a Kingman, Kansas flying service in 2008 where it was being used as an airport tug. Everything was original, uncut, matching numbers and well preserved in several coats of orange paint. The frame tag, dash data plate and the Willys body tag are each numbered 17968 and correctly located. The motor number is CJ-2A 18464. The AMC numbers on the tailgate and front gusset are matching and both read 8620. Continue reading

It was originally marked as USN in forest green but was restored with USMC markings. Most likely originally a Seabee jeep. Hood number is actual original. Asking $12,500.”

Two sets of tires and wheels, full curtains including radiator quilt, canvas seat covers and 2 new 12Volt batteries.

(04/15/2016) Looks like a clean rebuild.
“1946 Willys CJ-2A fully restored. This is a non-military model. Complete ground up/frame off restoration on this vehicle. The only thing that was not fully rebuilt was the engine (it had plenty of compression and was super clean). Differentials, transmission, and transfer case have all new gears, bearings, and seals. New master brake cylinder along with new brakes and brake cylinders at all four wheels. New clutch, pressure plate, and release bearing. Synthetic lube in all gear boxes and silicone brake fluid. Tires are new non directional tires and it has always been garaged since it was completed. Over $15,000 worth of parts were used (not including labor and materials such as welding rods, hardware, etc). System was converted from 6V to 12V and turn signals were added. The rest of the vehicle is original.Two and a half years were spent putting this all together and it looks factory new. Great to take to shows. Gets a lot of attention.
Complete proceeds from the sale of this Willys will be going to our church. Asking $20,000, which is a more than fair price given all that was done to this vehicle.”
