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 $1500.
(03/30/2012) Someone needs their ‘saws-all’ license revoked.
“Original engine, transmission and transfer case all working good. Brakes and fuel system need work. $1500.
This looks like a solid jeep for the price.

This looks like it has gone through a frame-off restoration. Not totally restored to original condition though.
“Better than New.
Total Frame Off Restoration”

Engine runs, but produces white smoke.
“1949 Jeep Willys
Asking $1,700 OBO. Great Jeep Willys for restoration or hunting.
Body:
1949 Willys body in excellent condition, only small dent on driver’s rear corner. No rust other than normal surface rust as expected. Windshield frame is in good condition, does not have glass.
Interior/Electrical:
All electrical is in working condition (12V). Front seats need re-upholstering but pans and mounts are in good condition.
Engine:
1948 Willys. Engine runs but produces a white smoke. I think it needs new piston rings. I have not opened up to find out. Currently gas tank is pulled (in good condition but pulled to clean interior). Has new plugs and good battery. Will include new oil filter.
Drive train:
4×4 and hub locks work well.
Tires:
In good condition but not original look.
Brakes:
In working condition.”
This doesn’t run. It was a column shift at some point and appears to have all three data plates. Not tool indents are evident though.
“I have a ’46 Willys CJ2a in good condition for sale. It was running smoothly before winter and will need a little tlc to get it back to running after sitting for a few months. Most parts are original, I know for sure the electric has been updated, 2 sets of brakes have been upgraded to disc brakes, gas tank has been replaced, and the column shifter was moved to the floor. I am not a mechanic but you will likely need to do three things to get her back to running: bleed the brakes, charge (maybe replace) the battery and check the fuel line.
Things that I know need work:
Some of the gauges need work, specifically the fuel and speedometer.
There is slight rust, but nothing bad.
I’ve driven it around town without any problems and gone about 40 miles outside of town. Tops out at about 50 mph, so highway isn’t really ideal. There is a tow bar in front, a roll bar over the top and has 4wd using manual locking hubs.
It has been a very wonderful Jeep, and hasn’t given me any issues outside of needing attention more often for being a ’46. I recently started my own business and I hate to just have this antique just sitting around. Antique car insurance is currently running me about 5 dollars a month through state farm. You should be to get similar rates.

There might have been some repairs along the bottom of the body, but otherwise this might be a good little jeep.
