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 .
That’s one heavy duty bumper.
“1946 Willys Jeep. Does not run. It came with another that I bought to restore. That project is on hold and this one is in the way. Body is in rough shape but the frame appears to be solid. Would be great to build with fiberglass or new steel tub and modern equipment. $600 OBO. Call 803-981-2233.”

It’s been patched and not quite stock.
“UP FOR AUCTION IS MY 1946 WILLY’S JEEP, SERIAL #21813, MODEL CJ2A. THIS YEAR RETAINS THE MILITARY STYLE WITH TOOL INDENTS IN THE BODY. THIS JEEP IS READY TO BE DRIVEN AND ENJOYED AND RUNS GREAT. THE PREVIOUS OWNER SAID THEY HAD REBUILT THE ENGINE WHEN THEY FIRST GOT IT. IT RUNS WITH 40-50 LBS OF OIL PRESSURE AT 160 DEGREES WITH AN IDLE OF 20 LBS PRESSURE AT RUNNING TEMPERATURE. IT DOESN’T SMOKE, SHIFTS GREAT, THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE HIGH AND LOW WORKS FINE AND THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY REDONE. I REPLACED ALL THE WHEEL CYLINDERS, MASTER CYLINDER, BRAKE SHOES, BOTH STEEL AND RUBBER LINES, CONNECTORS, FITTINGS ETC.. THE ADDED LOCK OUT HUBS WERE ALSO COMPLETELY REBUILT, WORK GREAT AND IT HAS NEW SHOCKS. IT ALSO HAS A NEW CLUTCH KIT, PILOT BUSING AND SEAL AND GASKET KIT INSTALLED. IT’S BEEN CONVERTED TO 12 VOLTS WITH AN ALTERNATOR. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL OIL BATH AIR CLEANER AND ORIGINAL SPLIT WINDSHIELD (ONE SIDE HAS PLASTIC INSTEAD OF GLASS AND SHOULD BE REPLACED). THE DATA PLATES ARE ALSO ORIGINAL. THE STEERING HAS ABOUT 25% PLAY, IS OK BUT PROBABLY A STEERING BOX REBUILD SHOULD BE DONE FAIRLY SOON. ALL THE GAUGES AS WELL AS THE HEADLIGHTS, RUNNING LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS WORK EXCEPT THE SPEEDOMETER WHICH READS 33136 MILES, BUT THE TRUE MILEAGE IS UNKNOWN. THE SEAT FRAMES LOOK ORIGINAL AND ARE SOLID. THE GAS TANK APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH AN ORIGINAL STYLE OR NOS TANK. THE FRAME IS VERY SOLID, THE HAT CHANNELS IN SOME PLACES HAVE SOME RUST BUT ARE OK, AND THE TIRES ARE FAIR (WEATHER CHECKED AND MAYBE 40% TREAD). THE BODY IS PRETTY ROUGH. THERE’S VARIOUS RUST SPOTS AND MANY DRILLED HOLES FOR VARIOUS TOPS AND ATTACHMENTS I’D GUESS (I’VE TAKEN LOTS OF PICTURES SO EVERYTHING CAN BE SEEN). IT’S BEEN PATCHED ON THE FLOOR AND HAS SOME WELDED AREAS, BUMPS AND BRUISES. IT’S GREAT AS IS FOR HUNTING OR AS A BACK WOODS VEHICLE, FARM JEEP OR JUST TO RUN AROUND IN. I’VE HAD IT FOR A FEW YEARS AND IT’S ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT. IF YOU WANT A PRINCESS, IT’LL NEED SOME WORK BUT COULD EASILY BE DONE BY ANY BODY SHOP.”
UPDATE: SOLD. Was listed at $750.

(02/19/2009) Given it needs a battery and carb, it’s not clear to me that it runs?
“47,cj2a with ford 2.8 v6, taller gears needs battery and carb.”
UPDATE: Originally listed as a 1948, Bob noted the gpw-like cross member and the shovel bracket. I think I see handles. I’m guessing this is actually a GPW.
There might be some value here, but probably not much.

This appears to be solid.
“1949 Willy’s Jeep $8000 or best offer. The JEEP is in Centreville, Maryland. Nearly a complete rebuild and in great condition. I am now working on another project and will need to get this out of my garage. The JEEP comes with a new soft convertible top [installed]and has had substantial engine rebuild and other items replaced over the past several months. Is a 6 volt system, but I have the replacement alternator to convert to 12 volts. The jeep comes with an “A” Frame tow bar hitch attached to the front bumper to make towing easier. Please email me at mwint6946 @ gmail.com or call at 443-254-2703. Only serious buyers need call. My name is Mark.”

(06/16/2011) Carlton is on the east side of the mountains near Twisp.
“This 1946 jeep is perfect for those who love to boondock, hunt or fish. v6 Buick gives you enough power to get out the mud or snow yet gets good gas mileage. Rig has a removable homemade hardtop, heavy roll bar. oversize aggressive tread tires with steel wheels, high- back bucket seats. this jeep is strictly a backwoods runner and not a show piece. It is strong in the off road mode. Might consider trade for running street legal motorcycle or a clean fold-a-boat sport boat.cs”
UPDATE: Was listed for $3000
