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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .
I’ll bet with a new fuel pump this will start.
“Needs some TLC. It was running several years ago, parked and now won’t start. Would be a great hunting truck. Serious offers only please.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000. It includes a Warn OD and a trailer.
(11/01/2010) “Buick V6 231, original 3 speed transmission, Warren overdrive, power steering, rear end gear ratio 5:37. Just replaced complete brake system, transfer gears, carburator, water pump and battery.”
Are the seats on this cropped? They seem a bit short.

This looks a bit rough. I’m guessing it still runs??
“I have 1946 Willis Jeep that I used as a hunting/ranch vehicle for several years. It has a tow bar and a soft vinyl top. 3-speed manual transmission. Cash only please.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was no price.
This runs.
“Body Rough , Runs , no time to restore”
Mark has someone post this Mahindra at Sellajeep.com. I know there are a few Indian readers out there.

(06/14/2011) “I have a 46 CJ2A column shift for sale. Jeep has PTO with flat belt drive. S/N 16965. I really hate to part with this jeep but it’s time. It does need some work.”
Brian forwarded these videos. What he was hoping they might stimulate are some comments about what might have been done differently . Of course, it would be easy to poke fun at the driver’s, but in some cases they might not have known better. So, maybe with some videos like this we can generate some teachable moments.
So, for example, Brian pondered the following contributing factors to the below accident:
(a) Lack of concern and respect of the trail leading to no trail spotter?
(b) Driver failing to understand center of gravity of Jeep ~VS~ gravity.
(c) Failing to recognize trail surface was equal to ball-bearings.
(d) The jeep seemed to be holding the hill before reversing. Driver failed to place jeep in revers and power out. (Related all above)
If you find a non-racing, non-stupidity-drinking back yard yahoo video, just guys/gals on the trail with factors that lead to misfortune, email it to me at d@ewillys.com.
Brian also shared this one, which demonstrates that even the woman running the camera knew this wasn’t a good idea.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
This looks in good shape.
“This is a VEC very early 1946 Willys CJ2A 170## . It has the 4 cyl flathead that runs very well. I also has the early 3 speed coulmn shift tranny that shifts fine. Has a like new Best Top soft top with doors.. It has the original 6 volt system and will need a new battery. It has a M38 military windshield .. The tires hold air and have plenty of tread.. Come with a Ohio Title… All in all this is a very nice complete jeep that has sat in my shed for a few years”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $30.
Here’s a good price on some headers.
“Pair of used headers to fit a dauntless/Buick 225 v6. Surface rust is light and they are straight and solid.”
