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 .

“Full custom, ground up build with new store bought high-end parts! It is registered and in my name as a 47 Jeep even though the whole thing was built new just a few years ago. There has been absolutely no expensed spared in this Jeep. Body is a very well built and thick fiberglass body, never to worry about rust issues again, ever and it has no cracks anywhere, it is so thick that even the hood close with a thump! The frame is a late model Jeep frame, boxed and reinforced throughout.
Engine is a 350 Chevrolet 4 bolt main, steel crank, forged pistons, decked, lined bored and balanced. Cylinder heads have been completely gone through including larger valves, springs, retainers, studs and roller rockers. Quiet Gear drive, with a mild street cam for long hours of idling. Aluminum radiator with temp controlled electric fan, never gets hot even after running all day. Electronic ignition, hooker headers, chrome or aluminum everything possible on the engine. Transmission is a professionally built power-glide automatic with a manual shift valve body, aftermarket transmission cooler and heavy duty torque convertor, this transmission is bullet proof. Drive shafts are new with heavy duty u-joints and retainers.
Front and Rear differentials have I believe 4:11 gears, been too long and cannot remember, disk brakes in front with Warn hubs and large drums in the rear. Wilwood master cylinders with steel braid throughout. The chassis has an aftermarket front sway bar that is easily disconnected for trail riding and full oscillation. Power steering with remote reservoir make the huge Mickey Thompsons turn easily. The suspension springs are, medium duty in the front and I have two sets for the rear, both included. At the moment I have extra firm springs in the rear for dune driving, in an hour they can be replaced with the extra soft springs for trail riding. Dual shocks (Chrome) in the rear and single (Chrome) in the front. Steering linkage (Chrome) is very tight with absolutely no play at all, this Jeep drives very well and tight going down the road.
Starts and runs, but carb is off.

This is one of a series of militarize CJ-2As coming out of the Wichita area.
http://wichita.craigslist.org/cto/5972807218.html
“This 1946 Willys CJ2a is finished to look like a WWII MB jeep. It is unique because it has a brand new after market steel tub that was installed a few years ago, so there is ZERO RUST on the tub. Another hard to find is that the parking brake DOES work on this Jeep.
It runs and drives great, and is ready for the parade. Gauges, head lights, blinkers, left and right tail/brake lights all work fine. Engine, transfer case, brakes, and clutch work as expected. Brand new unidirectional military tires. Includes spare tire, jerry gas can and holder. Windshield glass folds out and windshield will fold down onto hood. 12V generator system. Black vinyl seats in good shape, but are used. Drives nice and straight. Cruises with traffic going to the hardware store without any problems. Starts every time winter or summer.
This jeep was reconditioned by Bechtel in Oakland, California.
“1942 Ford GPW Jeep. Original “Ford script” body. Reconditioned/rebuilt on April 26, 1945 in Oakland, California. Older restoration. Prior owner was entering it in parades. Original seats. 50 caliber machine gun and gun mount. Rear seat. Canvas top. Willys engine has good (130psi to 135psi) compression and starts well, but needs new head gasket. Has been mostly stored over the last few years and needs a full tuneup. Ford script tires. Clear California title.”

“1949 jeep truck with Chevy 350 has a tough time starting but when she does run has some rust on it needs some work but it’s priced for that it hasn’t been restored asking 3000”

The seller listed this as a 1946 CJ-2A. It’s clear the seller doesn’t know what they have.

This looked like a cool project, until I saw the interior (or lack of it).
“WILLYS JEEPSTER ROADSTER 1949 great for restoration parades or shows.. Title in hand and its old.. Texas car, some rust in the floor but the body is pretty solid…. the engine/trans has been kept inside for years and still turns free.. The car has been in and out of doors various times.. Its solid for what it is.. I have the roof bows/hinged assembly as well as the seat frames, rear bumper and chrome trim.. The chassis is all original and all together rolling fine.. $2100”
