About eWillys
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.
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 .

Older post. Has a bunch of stuff, kinda all over on this one, I really don’t know if there is enough here to part this out for profit so to say. Don’t think so, WDIK. Guess depends on the quality of the Wheels and the other stuff, it’s a lot of heavy parts, hard to ship kind of stuff as well.
Information from seller:
1946 Jeep Willy · Convertible · Driven 1,000,000 miles So this was mainly used for what I believe to be parts. I have a 1950’s military jeep in the garage as well. But it’s got the motor, doors, grill, the body is a bit shot. It I don’t currently have a photo of it but I can. But I have the wheels from it too. I am thinking $4,000 I know money can be made off JUST parting it out. It’s ALL original. So if your interested in what’s shown or a 1950’s military Jeep Willy. Shoot me a messages as to the price of $4,000 I’ll have to do some research and see what a decent offer is for what is shown in this post.
Seem like a lot of stuff for $200 if local, no shipping. Not really sure if all of this is $200 either,

Same family Jeep since new, good candidate for restoration. Been parked indoors since 1979. Engine turns over by hand, have not attempted to start it. Was parked in running and driving condition and motor was professionally rebuilt at some point. Comes with new top in box and manuals. Good Maryland title. Delivery available from Mount Airy, Md 21771
Might be worth a look to see what all is here for the price. Winter is setting in and harder t move projects this time of year for sure large packages with trailers and rigs.
Information from seller:
Turns over, title for the jeep and trailer. Have new tires for jeep. Have lots of new parts ready to go on. Too many projects. Need room. Price is OBO.
V8 but 305 are not super HP at times, Hard Top says custom built.
Looks like a fun Jeep. But its also got a few Projects that will need some work, the fan set up leads me to think this runs a little hot, or really it may not with that set up, just not what others may want.
The stack exhaust is a neat feature, just depends on the direction of the wind and if it travels over the rig and not into it for example.
Information from seller:
1948 Willy’s Jeep, 305 Chevy V8 engine, stock manual transmission and transfer case, custom built cab with doors, tow bar, air horns, sirens, tire chains, 12V electrical system, 38034 miles. Newer tires. Runs and drivable. Shows great in parades and car shows. Serious inquiries only. $4000 cash only, local pick up in Kettering
Some of these may be dead ad’s but this looks like a lot of work had been completed back when posted. If still hanging around might be a good project.
This is the exact set up I would love to have for the Building to display and have folks come wrench on and learn about these old rigs.
Information from seller:
The frame has been sandblasted and has a painted frame and the wheels had been powered coated and a rebuilt transmission and new headlight rims also new master cylinder and also comes with one spare wheel and comes with body too and a grill.
Gotta say price not bad, does not sound like it has a Title, and does not just start and go. So it’s a project, has rust but is mentioned that its solid.
I have this as a 1946, its listed as an ’47 but also says they don’t know exactly.
Information from seller:
I have a Willys‘s Jeep not exactly sure of the year 40 somthing that is a fixer upper but has a lot of good points going for it to start with. It’s got a solid frame and springs most everything is intact. The engine will run but will need a new carburetor and it will need a new battery . I acquired it from a guy that was building another one and I believe he kept the title for it along with the carburetor. He left an old carburetor there for a core or it may even work. I never did try it I did put gas in the intake and it over and it fired right up. this will be a great little project for somebody a lot of fun comes with a bill of sale only..1900.00 cash
So obviously I’m not on board with the 1945, my guess is 1946. Being VEC no clue but I know some of you folks following along can look this over. The three hole mounting for the Ignition Switch is typically earlier for sure. The patina under the hood does not appear to be exactly from 1985, for $2k its not really worth figuring out the minor details, you never know maybe they tried to get this going recently or even 3 years ago and just could not.
At the end of this I’m going to toss in some background on the tires!
The tire pic is way cool, they are very old. The name is even older which thoroughly amazed me. The “Dayton Thorobred” like the horse but not spelled like the horse. What I was able to find was around September of 1917 Dayton Tire and Rubber Co. developed and tested the Dayton Thoroughbred, jump down for some more info…….
Information from seller:
Barn find ran in 85 when it was parked message with any questions willing to trade on motorcycles or trucks

Here is an ad from 1-6-1918 that notes the 4 months ago they do so….. Guess Sept 1917, they note Red Stripe side walls, in 1917, that’s pretty cool! If anyone has a red stripe 1917 Dayton Thoroughbred would love to see that. Have a spare will gladly display at the building even if its in way bad shape.
January 1918
Did not take long for them to increase the price! May 1918, but in this one the name is shortened to that Thorobred deal Typo? Not a clue but it for sure is named T H O R O B R E D in the shorten version later on….. must have been a name conflict is one guess I have.
May 1918
March 1919 Same Tread Pattern as the early Jan, 1918
Step up to 1923….. Name is still the Thorobred.
Jump to 1951, I did not really find the tread patten of the Jeep. But the name is still going.
1960 you can see those Dayton Thorobred Prem they kind of have the look of what’s on the rig.
I enjoyed the tire rabbit hole, it did eat into a lot of my Willys time for today, you will have these things.
Anything you notice on the CJ-2A let me know. I think it’s an 46, not necessarily VEC differently missing a lot from the VEC class in general if it happens to be close to one
