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 $3500.
This looks solid, though the little paint spray spots suggest patches or sanding or possible rust.

Someone had some left over cans of paint from Fourth of July? Joking aside, there might just be some value here. I suspect the sides have been filled or bondoed as the drain holes appear missing on the driver’s side.
“1946 Willies Jeep this jeep does not run $1200 firm 620-243-3961 also have many extra parts.”
This is a nice looking restoration (though not perfectly stock) for the price.

“Barn Fresh, 1947 CJ2A Willys farm Jeep. All original farm Jeep with rear mounted PTO. Has L-head 4 cyl. Engine runs but runs rough. Tires shot. Has sat in barn since 1985. Sold where is as is. Cash only.”

(03/13/2012) This has an automatic tranny and has a Warn Overdrive. On Sunday I asked Herm (aka Herm the Overdrive Guy) how people with automatic trannies shift their overdrive. He said the proper way is to turn the key. In other words, you should turn off the jeep and shift the overdrive. Given this has the overdrive and the buckshots, this might be worth a look.
