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 .

(02/03/2016) Looks like a good project.
“Willys Flat Fender Jeep sand toy project. The Jeep is in the process of being converted to two wheel drive. There is a fuel cell, Holley fuel pump, Hurst Quarter stick shifter, flat aluminum dash with oil & temp gauge, Aftermarket aluminum column, sand/race bucket seats and coil overs in the front. The front end has been pushed forward to stretch the wheel base. Front ladder bar and the rear is leaf. I’m selling the Jeep with a bill of sale. There is no motor trans or tires. I’m not sure of the year!”
Paul shared the story behind his one-of-a-kind stainless steel steering column.
Paul writes, The steering column in my Willys has quite a story behind it, ……. About 10 years into the rebuild (1995) I began thinking about what kind of steering column and wheel I’d like to have for the Willys. I wanted a tilt column to make it easier for me to enter and exit the Willys, the steering column and steering wheel should be one of a kind and not some mass produced stuff that everyone has and if at all possible these components should be fabricated from stainless steel to match the rest of the vehicle. I wasn’t even aware of any aftermarket suppliers that made replacement steering columns for custom vehicles but if there was a company in America making replacement columns I figured they would be mentioned in the hot rod or custom car magazines. I began reading all the current car magazines I could get my hands on, searching for any mention of or advertisement from a company making replacement steering columns.
It wasn’t long before I saw an advertisement for a company called ididit and the primary focus of this company was to build replacement steering columns for custom vehicles. Their ad had their address listed along with their telephone number so I made a quick phone call to the state of Michigan and ordered a free catalog. About a week later their catalog arrived here at the house and it was full of information about the company, about how to correctly determine the angle of the steering column and the location of the steering wheel along with internal wiring specs and how to identify the correct column length for your vehicle. This catalog was full of step by step procedures to solve installation problems I hadn’t even thought of yet. According to the catalog, steering columns could be ordered in steel or aluminum (plain or polished) in either standard lengths or total custom units. I was happy.
After mocking up a column in the Willys (a sawed off broom handle with a plastic plate screwed to the upper end) I was able to find the column angle which would give me the least interference during entry and exit while still providing a reasonable position for the steering wheel and this information allowed me to get the total length of the column from steering wheel to column end in the engine compartment. With my calculations in hand I made another call to ididit and attempted to order a column. This is where things got a bit weird. Continue reading

There are two prices on the ad. In the title it is listed as $5500, but in the text it is $5000

“I’m selling my 1946 jeep willys cj2a it is in great condition for its age. I bought it as a project to restore but I have too many projects on my plate. It was a barn find and was sitting awhile and when I got it i just cleaned it up and got it running. I bought a new battery for it it starts and runs could use some more tinkering with the timing. It’s all original still 6v it shifts through all gears as well as the twin stick transfer case. Clean title. It is very solid could use driver and pass floor pans. Frame is solid! Good for ice fishing trail riding hunting rig or a restore project!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5600.
Dan spotted this truck.
“This 1948 Willys Pickup is in solid working condition and has served as both a daily driver and utilitarian vehicle regularly. It starts perfectly and reliably. It has a 12-volt system. I am selling it because we have moved to a smaller place and do not have the room to keep it. To my knowledge the vehicle has been in central and northern California for most of its life. The vehicle has little rust.
Quite a bit of deferred maintenance has been done and addressed in the last few years. The engine has been thoroughly cleaned and the truck comes with spare parts. After much research, I suspect that some of the parts were interchanged with CJ-2 or CJ-2A parts over time. Whenever I came across this, I tried to replace with the correct parts as discrepancies were discovered.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
It has sat for a couple years.
“Late 40’s Willys Jeep with flat head 4 cylinder. This Jeep was restored and rebuilt and solely used in parades. My father inherited it after it had sat for 2 years. It had a bad ring gear and was parked. He was able to get it rolling over even with the starter jumping a tooth. It almost started but he decided to quit before he broke something. He hired a Jeep mechanic to replace the starter and ring gear. The mechanic said the engine was locked up and Dad went and picked it up. It has not been touched since. We have not verified anything on the Jeep and don’t want to mess with it. If the engine is locked up it would most likely be the valves stuck. He has to try and find the title or he can file for lost.”
