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 appears in great condition.
“Classic restored 1946 willys jeep v8 motor plenty of power. It’a an eye catcher for sure very clean and runs great! Toyo tires with 17″ rims, call for more info.”
No pics provided.
“1946 cj2a jeep parts
I’m parting out a whole cj2a please cal me for parts or questions. 1607279seven307. Motor is included.”
This appears to be a mix of an early 1946 and a 1948 with a fiberglass body thrown into the mix. So, it is rare because I suspect there is only one of those.
“Up for Auction is a very rare 3 speed on the column 1948 willys it was restored about 7 years ago and the tub was replaced with a fiberglass one,It was just painted with Durabak Scratch Guard and Off Road Interior Coatings (Read more about it Below) All the army decals where just put on also and can be removed pretty easy… all the brakes and lines where replaced it has the ORIGINAL rebuilt 4 CYLINDER WILLYS FLATHEAD ENGINE, That runs awesome 3 speed tranny ( pops out of 2end gear sometimes) 4 wheel drive works…. I upgraded the charging system to 12 volt and added turn signals also just installed a new exhaust manifold and tune up, starter, headlights and taillights….. ”

Ran when garaged. Looks like it might be solid. I wouldn’t call this a sacrificial price though.
“1947 WILLY’S JEEP 6 CYLINDER GOOD CONDITION WAS GOING TO RESTORE BUT MUST SACRIFICE THIS JEEP IS IN GREAT CONDITION FOR AS OLD AS IT IS. WAS RUNNING FINE WHEN GARAGED SEVERAL YEARS AGO.”

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $2000
(08/18/2012) I just can reconcile the “solid body” comment with the rust I see along the driver’s side entrance. Maybe it is just peeling paint??
“for sale 1946 willy cj2a jeep solid body good running gears ,needs throw out bearing (i have the bearing just needs installed ) new clutch with very few miles ,also needs brake work NO TITLE …$2000 OBO … may take part trade”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5988
