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 .

Runs and drives. May be worth a look. The pics don’t show the body well.

(02/29/2012) “This outstanding, unique example of early production civilian jeep is the first series of jeep built after WWII. It has been restored as original, painted the listed Normandy Blue. The body was removed, repaired, and repainted underneath. The frame was painted black, as original. The motor, transmission, and transfer case were rebuilt. It has new red seat covers and red wheels with the Normandy blue stripe. It also has a new 6 volt battery, new set of springs, and 5 new 700 x15 military tires. The original Willys heater works. All gauges and lights work. This jeep starts and drives excellent. It is a VERY NICE UNIT! ”
Not restored to 100% original, but sure looks nice.
“This jeep is in excellent condition, it has been rebuilt from the frame up, new body, seats redone, transmission rebuilt, new brakes, new shocks, new gas tank, 4 wheel and all running gears work perfect, new carb. and engine runs great. I have owned this jeep for 30 years, don’t use much anymore, I need the space. Mileage is an estimate, it has a new meeter.”

This looks like a good restoration project.
“This is a super early 1945 cj2A first year of the civilian jeeps. This is serial # 10207 or the 207th civilian jeep ever made. There are only a few known with an earlier number. Vehicle is numbers matching engine, frame and data tags. Was switched to a cain shifter but I have the correct side shifter transmission and column shift steering column. I bought it a few years ago drove it off the transport and have stored it since. I am not able to find the time to restore this as it should be.
The good:
It is solid. Numbers correct and very early. Only the first couple of hundred had no data tag on the firewall and an extra tab on the rear soft top bow storage bracket. The engine was gone through right before I bought it and it does not need to be rebuild it is in good condition. I have turned it over every few months the past couple years but have not started it. It ran perfect when taken off the trailer.
The bad:
The only rust I can see is in the driver side step. It clearly needs to be restored but nearly everything is there and correct. The only things I know it to need are the horn, and solid wheels. I may have the seat. Has no brakes they would need parts.
I do have extra parts that are not included in the price but I can help source anything if you need the help.
Vehicle is sold as is. It is a fair price for a very early project. It is a really nice start since so much is there and correct and the body is solid. Rust and needing rare parts cost a lot of money!
