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 .
Hard to say just how original this is from the one pic. However, the seats appear aftermarket and the grille may have been updated.

(05/04/2011) “1946 WILLYS Jeep CJ2-A. Built for the dirt, but street legal.
COMPLETELY rebuilt from the ground up. Only 9,567 miles since rebuilt:
Chevrolet V-8 engine with Edelbrock manifold, off-road modified Holly 4-barrel carburetor and Holly electric fuel pump. Advanced Adapters headers with Thrush Turbo mufflers. Custom-made extra heavy-duty 4-row radiator.
Modified 4-speed Saginaw 1/2-ton truck transmission with Hurst shifter, Advanced Adapters silent gear kit in transfer case and a Warn overdrive. New drive shafts front & rear. Heavy-duty clutch.
Spicer model 44 rear end with Detroit Tru-Trak limited-slip differential and full-floating axles (just add locking hubs for free-wheel towing). 4WPW 11” rear drum and front disk brakes with 3/4-ton GM truck master cylinder.

The bad: has been stored for about the last 6 years; needs new battery; carburetor needs rebuilding kit due to gummed up gasoline; it has a CASSETTE radio.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600
This needs work. This sounds like a nice project with some value. Curiously, there are no holes for the gauges. So, I’m not sure whether this is an aftermarket body or the holes were cleanly patched. This has already been converted to hanging pedals, too. I think that motor might have been rebuilt, judging by the cleanliness of it.
“I have a unfinish jeep up for sale. It has a V6 with 4 speed trany,tranfer case,and axle dana 44 with disk in front, amc 20 posi. I have the pink slip and it nonop.”
UPDATE: ***sold****
Needs work. It has a fiberglass body.
“FOR SALE

Make me an offer.
This one is priceless. Based on the back, I’d say this was a CJ of some vintage and not a M-38.
“5/16″ armored jeep. Complete. Body is not rotted. Needs new undercarriage. M38? Awesome piece of history. 845-204-1475”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
This has been parked for 18 Years. Possibly a VEC Body.
“Was parked about 18 years ago due to: Leaking rear main seal, poor/no brakes, and finally a broken ignition wire. Has been waiting patiently for resto since. Early and rare tub with leftover war stampings with axe and shovel relief. Willys stamped hood, correct and original windshield frame, and tailgate. 12V. It wants a complete resto but could be going down the road without a huge effort. Rusted and patched up many time in the past 65 years… It will need trailerd home.
$2000 or similar trade for: Honda/Yamaha Utility 4 wheeler or Toyota 4×4 that is not beat and rusted away.”
The body is rough. The seller is a bit off on his windshield analysis.
“I have a 1948 Willys jeep for sale. This is the model with the P.T.O.. Mechanically its very good, body wise its rough. The motor, transmission, transfer case, front and rear ends have all been rebuilt and only used for snow plowing since. I have the orignal 1948 plow too. The windshield is from a 1950. This was a upgrade at the time as the 48 had a split windshield. I also have the frame for the orignal half top (comes down behind the seat so you can still use the box). There’s a box of extra parts that will go with it too. $1300. firm”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5800
(04/05/2011) Here’s a CJ with a variety of upgrades.
“3.8 Buick V6, 33 X 12.5 X 15 Tires, 5.36 Gears, Muncy 4 speed transmission, 16 Gallon fuel cell, Warn full floating axel kit, Lockright in rear, Front disc brakes, Pro Racing seats with 5 point harness capabilities, NEW 8000 pound winch, Full top (black)& bikini top (tan), Set of 16.50 rear Paddle tires included (only used three times), NO RUST, Near perfect body with one small dent (jeep vs tree…tree almost won). Same owner for 20 years. Always garaged. Dad sold his jeep, so nobody to play with & family has far outgrown this toy with 5 kids, so we haven’t taken it out playing in two years (just out of the garage for a stroll around the park from time to time)”
