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 .
I ran across Milk River’s website, located in Alberta, Canada. To help support the Milk River Fire Department, they have printed t-shirts with an illustration of the department’s 1947 CJ-2A Fire Jeep. You can email them here for more information: http://milkriver.ca/government/town-departments/emergency-services/47-willys-t-shirts-for-sale/sendto_form
Here’s a picture of their Fire Jeep:
There appears to be some value here.

This appears in good shape, though it has an assortment of parts.
“Jeep willys the only issue with it is that I just replaced the brakes and cant get them adjusted right. It has a brand new alternator 12v and radiator. Full tune up, new hoses, new battery. Also the soft top is almost new.”

That rear passenger side quarter panel is rough, but there appears to be some value here.
“1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A. It is in very good restorable condition. Engine is sound as is the drive train. Has been mostly converted to 12volt. There is some rust in the usual places; tool box, battery tray and floor pans. I started to restore it about 2 yrs ago, but simply don’t have the time. The front fenders, hood and grill are currently off. It has a full soft top and doors. There is also an aluminum hardtop/ truck top and aluminum doors. This would be a great project to restore or stick the fenders and hood back on for a great hunting vehicle. Call or text, 803-374-4776”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This appears to have a VEC body. The grill appears to be from a later CJ-2A.
