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 .

(07/10/09) “I have a 1946 Willys CJ2A that I have been restoring for the past several years. I have ran out of money and need to sell it. I have put over 6000.00 in parts into this Jeep. I can show every reciept I put into it. It does have some moderate body rust, So that would be the biggest issue with it. It starts and runs great. I do have a certain price that I cannot go any lower on as I have put alot of time and money into it.”

This might not be a bad price. Brakes are cheap.
“This Jeep was going to be a “project car” which I have not set aside the time for. I have used it for the last two years just to plow my driveway. The master cylinder was just rebuilt however the brakes do not work. The plow works great and it comes with an excellant condiiton best top with no rips or tears. The motor runs great and all aspects of the four wheel drive system function as well.”

It has really nice seats in it…. I would like to trade for a 4-wheeler (I would prefer a 4×4), or something else cool, maybe even a cash offer? The tires in the pic DO NOT go with it….the wheels, if you want, can go with it….I have some other smaller BFG’s that can go on it if you wish…. Thanks….”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4900
I suspect these pics don’t do justice to the paint job. They make it appear blotchy
“1946 Willys CJ Jeep. New brakes, transmission, paint, tires and upholstrey. Front and back seat, roll bar in back.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
Here’s an unusual build.
“It is a 1946 willys Cj2a jeep It runs great. It moves but there is a noise in the transmission. Dont have time to play with it anymore. It has 3 inch’s of lift plus the spring over conversion so all together probable 6 inches of lift. With brand new 35 inch BFG all terrains.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
It comes with a spare engine. This is missing the radiator. It looks solid and the upholstery looks pretty good.
“Has the spare engine in the back! Radiator and core support missing. Best Offer over $1000 takes it home!”
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $1800. The serial number notes the serial number is #67667.
(03/10/2010) “Motor runs good. 4-cylinder overhead valve. Needs some tender loving care. Most parts are there to make it an original, body is good.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(12/26/09) Here’s a nice looking restoration.

Frame was cleaned and undercoated and painted.All body bushings are new. Completely new wiring from front to rear, 12V system. All new gauges, speedo cable and e-brake cables. New stock seats and frames. Have the stock rear seat, but will need to be recovered. New paint last June, inside and outside of tub, grille and hood.

This is a well done rebuild with a variety of interesting mods. It’s worth a look through many of the images.
