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 .
In this story from Gus and the Model Garage, Gus investigates the centrifugal-advance mechanism. “Gus and the Case of the Councilman’s Car” was published in October 1968.

“A rare, working, 1952 Willys Jeep CJ2A with an Auburn Jeep-A-Trench trencher. It will dig a trench 6″ wide and 46″ maximum depth. The trencher was made in Auburn, Nebraska by a company that is still in existence today. I have used this trencher 3-4 times a year for the past 6 years. It has been kept in a barn, each time I just put battery in it and it is ready to go. I have used it for installing water lines, electrical lines, drainage tile and rain water downspouts. It was previously owned by a local plumber. It is simple to use and once digging is started you just stand back and watch it work. It runs great and has not overheated in our hot and humid Kansas summers. Brakes are soft and steering is stiff but you’re really not going to drive it any distance anyway. It is self propelled via creeper gears and the digging outrigger can be raised and lowered via an electric motor. All of the standard Jeep CJ2A features are still retained. It was converted to 12 volt then the trencher unit was added at the factory along with a Governor to regulate engine speed, a PTO unit, an additional drive shaft, heavy springs and frame stiffeners. Exact mileage unknown, but it can’t be to high because the trencher has been on it since day one. Comes with spare parts including extra trencher teeth and chain links and owner guide. Have a clear title. Sold AS IS, no warranty. Also for sale locally. I will not deliver. If you arrange shipping I will assist with loading. Deposit payment of $500 via PayPal within 24 hours of auction ending. Balance of payment will be cashiers check or cash. Cashiers check must clear to be paid in full prior to shipping or removal from sellers location.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1750.
The rear axle appears to be civilian.
“1942 willy’s jeep, runs, good restoration project. 1750 obo.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1100.
This runs and drives.
“1946 Willys Jeep. Buick V6 motor. Starts and goes!”
Here is a pile of Warn OD parts.
“Three warn overdrives for a model 18 transfer case. There is enough to put together two good overdrives, the third has gear damage but saveable with some new parts. Includes shift lever and linkage. Selling all together, cleaning out garage and don’t have a use for them. $250 takes all, these overdrives are similar to Saturn overdrives. To buy new they are $800+ per overdrive.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $875.
The body has been patched quite a bit.
“Not sure of the year of this beauty. Believe its a CJ3A. Lots of patches and rust and I think the top is homemade and nicely done. I do have the doors. It is still a 6 volt system and believe it or not it runs, drives and stops like it should. Shifts into all gears with no noise or popping out of gear. Could use a tune up and a lot of love. I have a temporary gas can on it to move it around. There is a good gas tank on the passenger seat that will go with it. Would make a good farm jeep or put a new body on it. Lots of good parts”
The wagon looks good. I love the first picture.

The tailgate appears to have been cut.
“Testing waters on selling my 1942 Ford GPW, it is a project………. I bought it a little over a year ago and have been stock piling parts since then in preparation for the restoration, I have most parts but still have quite a bit more to go. Its a late ’42– frame is in good condition, tub is in great condition, just rebuilt the transmission and transfercase, has a CJ engine in it now (has low oil pressure) but I have a rebuildable ’42 GPW block to go with it! Lots of extra parts go with it that you could use to trade or sell for the other parts needed to finish her!
Your chance to get a piece of Americana!! WW11 jeeps are getting harder to find, this one is very straight and pretty rust free! Ready for an easy frame off restore!
I dont need to sell it, I’ve just lost steam in the project and am tied down between work and repairing my ’44 GPW………….. would rather see it getting fixed!!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000
There are a variety of holes in the windshield, so you’ll want to patch those before driving in the rain.
“1948 Willy 2As Jeep. The first civilian jeep model. Used originally as a farm vehicle. This jeep runs great and is in very good condition. Rebuilt and mostly original. Original flat head four cylinder engine. A blast to drive.”
