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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6900.
Here’s a nice CJ-2A with a rear PTO.
“Excellent condition, power takeoff, runs GREAT!!! Rare find! Thanks for looking!”
This might be worth a look.
“This was a project, totally rebuilt by my husband. Sadly he doesnt drive it anymore and it really deserves more dignity than sitting in the driveway. It will run, needs one part replaced (I believe an oil filter but my husband can give you ALL specs on this gem). All work done by my husband, who is a mechanic by trade.
If interested in more information about the jeep, respond to this post and he will get back with you. This jeep is located in Alexandria, Va.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000
Isn’t the front bumper mounted upside down? Not that it is a big deal, but just wondering.
“This 1946 jeep has to be seen to be appreciated. It has had everything replaced from wiring to brake lines. The emergency brake has been completely rebuilt and has the original 134 engine that has also been rebuilt. All new gauges, fuel tank ,fuellines, lights, tires, and rhino lined under and inside. It also has a roll bar. The upholestry needs to be replaced but I have a place in Texas that does the original front and rear. You really must see this to appreciate. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.

“1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A. Runs great. Body rebuilt by the Sears Oil Company in Rome, New York using heavy gauge steel. Plow included and the all brakes work. It has been converted to 12 volt system. This Jeep was used by Rome Memorial Hospital in the 2012 Honor American Day Parade that is why is it painted on Military colors. I am asking $2000.00 and at that price I am breaking even on what I have into it so the price is firm.”
Here’s a DJ-3A body on (probably) a CJ-2A frame and running gear.

What’s strange about this ad is that there are no pictures of the jeep’s topside. Four are of the underside and one is of the front bumper area.

If you live in the Northeast, you might be interested in a classified ad site called Uncle Henrys. After Glenn forwarded me an ad for a wagon, I discovered a couple flatties. Except for a few minor issues, this cj-2a looks good.
