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 .
It runs, drives and maybe even plows. I’m wondering if that is a DJ body given what appears to be a lack of a tailgate.

The front of this tilts down a bit too much, but otherwise this looks nice.
“Completely rebuilt and mostly original with a few added extras. Not a single bolt unturned. Bead blasted every part and painted with industrial epoxy paint. All bearings replaced, engine (flathead 4cylinder) completely rebuilt, completely rebuilt radiator rodded out, front and rear differentials rebuilt, transmission and transfer case rebuilt.

Here’s a good looking Jeep.

**SOLD to an ewillys reader**
“1947 Willys CJ2A. It needs work. I bought it about 3 years ago and just do not have the time or the money to restore it. It comes with a windshield but it is not original and it has a crack. It did work 2 and a half years ago but that was the last time I messed with it. It is not a military jeep. I have the title in my possession. $1000 or best offer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was for Trade
It’s hard to tell much from the pics, however it appears in decent condition. It’s a project.
“I HAVE A 1947 WILLYS 2X2 HAS GOOD BODY FOR THE YEAR IT HAS A GOOD LOOKING AND RUNNING 81 BUICK V6 IT WILL NEED SOME STARTER WORK TO HEAR IT RUN AND BRAKE WORK TO DRIVE BUT I DONT HAVE THE TIME SO WITH ABOUT $100 AND AN HOUR OF WORK YOU WILL BE DRIVING THIS GEM ANY WHERE JUST LOOK AT HOW MUCH THEY GO FOR AND MAKE ME A GOOD TRADE”
It’s a tiny pic, but at least it shows the jeep has an unusual paint job.
“Willys’ CJ-2A, It comes with the following: Full soft top, Bikini top, Doors (soft), Engine is a 1968 Chevy 350, Edelbrock intake, Edelbrock carburetor, Mallory Ignition, Brakes have been replaced with a Willwood Master Cylinder, Clutch has been replaced with a Tilton Master Cylinder and Willwood slave Cylinder, Original 3 speed Transmission, New off-road suspension, Electrical wiring has been completely replaced. $4000.”

(11/17/09) This one is right up the road … well, up a couple roads from me. I’ll drop by and check this out more closely. The description appears to highlight the important elements.

“1946 jeep have papers and new plates runs great.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $13,000
(10/19/09) It looks nice, but I doubt it will fetch the asking price.

(05/17/2010) I’m not sure what kind of body that is. Possibly a fiberglass?
