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 .
This is a project.

No pics provided. Listed as a ’42, it is probable the seller has the year wrong.

(11/06/2013) It needs some work, but the jeep itself looks solid.
“Nice Willys CJ-2A. Serial numer indicates late 1946. Paper work has 1947. Has an original 1945 L134 “Go-Devil” 4 cylinder MB engine. The “Willys” script name on windshield, under passenger seat and on tail gate. Runs but gas tank sludge needs cleaned out.

Windshield is Plexiglas and needs replaced. Great shape. Garage kept – No rust but dusty.”
UPDATE: Pics now provided. This VEC has the column shift, but not the tool indents. It doesn’t run currently. Obviously, the top doesn’t work with that windshield.
“Original Willys CJ2A Column Shift VEC. Split windshield, matching numbers all the way around. 3 speed Column shift intact and operating. Rebuilt Carb, New fuel lines and fuel tank (needs new fuel pump).New brakes for all the way around (un-installed). Everything from the master cylinder to the drums, and everything in between.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This jeep was featured yesterday at Road & Track, because it is supposedly a one-owner jeep with only 35k miles. It’s being sold by an outfit that seems to specialize in auto sales out of the Boise area. Given they specialize in auto sales, and given it’s a one owner vehicle, I would think they’d get the VIN number at least close. Instead, they have a strange VIN of 8804255829, which means a person probably couldn’t track the history of the jeep if they wanted. It’s hard for me to believe there isn’t a VIN plate still on this jeep (if it truly is an unmolested, original jeep). After all, it looks like the original gusset is still there. I can’t help think I’ve seen this jeep before, especially the oddly shaped (bent) passenger side fender. Anyone else have thoughts?
Here’s an example of a CJ-3B the same seller tried to sell on ebay with “original matching numbers”, but with an incorrect VIN of 34501. That VIN (which is missing the prefix of 57348) would be for a 1957. You’ll note the speedometer is a post 55 unit as well. The same cutesy tools are attached to the sides like they did with the 2A below.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4700.
This is a project. It was previously for sale last February in Gillette, WY.

(10/28/2013) This looks solid.
“1948 Jeep Willys CJ2A for sale. Runs great and has many extras: drive shafts, starter parts, 2 spare tires, cloth top, extra windshield. Good seats and seat belts included. Asking $3500.
Please contact via phone as email is checked infrequently.”
I see no signs it is a 1945 (either a CJ or a MB/GPW). Maybe the body is a replacement body of some type?

This is a mix of parts. Hard to tell how much value is here.
“To 1947 Jeep all together missing seats front bumper radiator does not run.”
