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 .

(09/05/2014) Listed as a ’45, this is really a ’46 based on the year. I wonder if seller has any actual pics of this while owned by the Air Corps. That would help verify the seller’s restoration is correct.
“1945 Willys CJ2A (serial #73581). Full frame off, ground up restoration to military condition and specs. Original owner US Army Air Corps Alaska Command at Mile 26 airfield (Eielson) in Fairbanks. Surplused in late 1950’s. Had several owners around the state and came to rest in Wasilla in a state of decay. I acquired it in 2010 and performed the restoration over a 2 yr. period.
I was able to save and restore the rims, tires, axles, transmission, transfer case, drive shafts, frame, engine, carburetor, air cleaner, steering shaft and gear box, bumper, trailer hitch, generator, starter and jerry can.
Frame was sand blasted, repaired, aligned and powder coated. Cases for transmission and transfer case also blasted and powder coated. Drive shafts blasted and powder coated as was bumper and trailer hitch. Engine (Go-devil flat head 4), transmission (T90), transfer case, axles, carburetor, drive shafts, starter and generator professionally rebuilt. Everything else is new and correct for 1945/46 cj2a, including exhaust, radiator, fuel, brakes, springs and shocks, electrical, gauges, clutch and brake pedals and horn. Body and fenders are powder coated in army green with invasion stenciling. Seats are army green canvas. Jerry can and spare are correctly mounted on reinforced tailgate per mil-spec. 6 volt system has been retained. I have added one tail light and brake lights to make it street legal. Not stock in 1945 was an oil filter which I added and 6V halogen headlights. There are no turn signals or windshield wipers. There is no heater. I have a canvas top and frame, but it is in poor shape and I have not installed it. I have a black-out light, axe and shovel but have not installed them. Manila tow rope included. Air filter has been modified from oil bath to paper cartridge without changing the outside look. There is no back seat, which was sold as an option from 1945 on. I also have the Bantam trailer (correct pintel hitch) that works fine but needs a full restoration to match the jeep. Jeep has 360 miles since restoration. Registered and licensed. $23,500.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5800
“Oldie but goodie. This old willys has been worked on and alot replaced or rebuilt. Two years ago the transmission, transfer case and rearend rebuilt. The wiring was shot so I put in complete new harness. The steering box was rebuilt along with all new brakes, wheel cyclinders and new master cyclinder. The 5 tires are new with low mileage. The top was new two years ago. The doors come off and the sides roll up. The suspension, leafs and shocks are new. Starts every time and has a tow bar on front for towing long distance. If you want a dependable and go anywhere Willys, this is the one you would want. Will consider all reasonable offers or would trade for Manx, VW, in good running condition.”
