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 .
Does not run.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The seller provides a long, detailed list about this jeep. It also includes a food storage box (grub box). I think that is a custom top.
“It has a 4-speed gearbox with the lowest gear ratio of 6:1. The 4-cylinder, 2.3 liter Ford engine was rebuilt less than 5,000 miles ago. The Saturn overdrive was rebuilt about 1,500 miles ago. It was purchased by the current non-smoking owner in 1977 and complete maintenance records are included. The jeep is fully operational, licensed through January 2012 and can be driven as is . . . visit the bay ad to learn more.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
This has an unusual front bumper.
“Just wanting to sell it”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000
(12/11/2009) The grille on this doesn’t look like a 1946 Grille. I don’t see the bow brackets on the driver’s side either. The rear lights look incorrect … I”m sure there’s more.
“1946 Willis CJ2A-First Civilian Model. Complete restoration from the frame-up. Clear Florida title. 44miles on the motor & drive train. Pics included.”

I bought it to restore several years ago.
It still sits in my garage and time to restore it is no where in sight.
I have a motor and transmission to go with it, not installed.
Floors have some rust but are the most complete I’ve seen in an unrestored Willys.
$1,200 firm Clear South Dakota title.
If you can’t come to Hermosa South Dakota to look at and/or purchase it, then don’t bug me.

I wish we had some better photos of these. These three photos were shot in 1949 by J.R. Eyerman in Shanghai, China (click on the pics to see the Eyerman credit) for Life Magazine. Interestingly, on this page the credit for the third photo is also, or mistakenly, given to Jack Birns. Also, according to this page, the third photo captures the last tug to leave Shanghai, with credit to Jack as well. According to the folks at G503, these jeeps were used by the shore patrol “to pick up mostly drunks in and was easy to wash out the puke.”
Here’s a good way to celebrate the holidays! You can see more holiday cars here.
Those hurricane rims are worth at least $100 by themselves.
“Transmission is a T14A-1. The transfer case is Spicer. If you want only the transmission or only the transfer case, they’re $150 each. Please see my other ads about my 1962 Willys CJ5.”
