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 1948 CJ2A is a beauty. It runs well and feels like you are driving a piece of history.”
The pics aren’t super helpful. I can identify one 2A (2nd pic with the 3A windshield), but harder to see the first.

“1946 Jeep Willys.
4000.00 OBO
Needs restoration but all parts are there, rust in the tub around the rear wheel openings. MB grill added does have headlight buckets but no brackets. CJ grill included. Has a small block ford engine “ran when parked” per previous owner.
Have new radiator and a few other pieces that go with it. Does have fender well headers.
Clean California title last registered in 2017. Do not know about back fees.”
This is a big project with parts in uncertain conditions disassembled more than 30 years ago.
https://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/cto/7540742594.html
“I’ve had this Willys far too long and realize how unlikely it is that I’ll ever do the build I envision.
I purchased it in 1990 and dismantled in 1991, after I cooked the rear pinion gear. It’s been kept in a garage/tent in Santa Cruz Co. ever since. It was first placed in CA DMV non-op status in 1994 – I have a clean title in hand.
The contents for sale include all parts for a complete jeep (and then some), including:
– Body tub, fenders, grill, 2 hoods, windshield, tailgate, roll cage, 2 seats
– 302 Ford V8 – ran fine in 1991
– 4-core radiator (unused in box)
– Rebuilt Ford T18, 4 spd. transmission w/granny-low 1st gear
– New trans/transfer-case adapters, Centerforce clutch, pressure plate, t/o bearing
– ’74 CJ5 Model 20 transfer-case
– ’74 CJ5 transmission cross-member
– ’74 CJ5 Dana 20 front-end rebuilt w/limited slip diff, disc-brake kit & new Warn hubs
– Ford 9″ rear end w/ factory disc brakes – needs shortening & differential
– Orig. Dana 44 rear-end – needs rebuild
– (4) 8″x10” chrome 7-spoke wheels with tires ~90%tread
– Used Jeep wrangler leaf springs w/new in-box spring perches
– 2 frames – stock ’47 & ’74 DJ (postal jeep)
– Complete Bestop soft top
– Unused “bikini” top
– Wood project rack with casters
The posted price is what I figure the sum of the parts are worth. I’ll entertain offers – just not ridiculous ones.”
UPDATE: Still Available. Now for Trade. Was $8900.
(05/10/2022) Listed as a 1946 CJ-2A, it looks to be a CJ-2A with a CJ-3B body. It’s also a non-drivable project.
https://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/for/d/kent-willys-army-jeep/7478387633.html
“1946 cj2a. Looks like a really cool army jeep. Needs tlc and minor motor work. Comes with a lot of extras. Really fun project that I just keep get to.
Looking to trade for a newer good condition travel trailer or something cool that doesn’t take up garage space. ”
This VEC has a serial number of 10461. It has been updated with a V8. It might still have the side shift T-90 updated with a different kind of linkage. Current bid with 6 days to go is $1800.
