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 $400.

(02/16/2011) This looks like a solid foundation.

(06/30/2010) Here’s a crawler.
“47 cj2a based rock crawler v8, auto, locked, new tires, hydro steer assist, runs on propane. plus lots of new parts!!!!!!!!! installed befoure easter. we are looking for a cummins truck, or a 4 seat sand rail, or mini rail”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
It runs and appears pretty stock.
“1946 CJ2-A Willys Jeep… runs good, has original engine and ALL parts; I put an aftermarket carb on it and a reproduction fuel pump – however I have BOTH of the original pieces that can be re-worked and I’m sure they would work (I cleaned them both but just couldn’t get it to run with them).
New suspension all around, original military spec rims and good rubber.
Have a new shop manual as well – plus lots of odds and ends parts.
I have an extra fly wheel, extra front differential with hubs, extra steering wheel and neck assembly.”
Area code is 406. Looks like a solid rig.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay. Here’s another militarized jeep. Note there is no reserve on this. The bid price has already reached $5,665. I’m kind of surprised that the bidding has hit that height already. The ‘gun’ looks really fake in this one photo. The summary text seems fair.
It looks like in this case someone has taken a flattie in poor condition (which likely explains the missing rear wheel body areas) and turn it into something reasonably cool without investing too much money. Jim was one of the best at doing that.
“Great little jeep 98% restored as MB. Engine restored, NEW tires, intake/exhaust manifold, carb, head, fuel pump, wiring harness and rear suspension. New paint job, little rust on frame. Comes with all things seen in photo.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
I can’t tell how good the body is.
“1946 CJ 2a with a world war II Ford GPW body tub. Jeep was on a deer lease since the 1970’s in central texas. NO TITLE. I had it running and it moved under it’s own power but it doesn’t run very well. Needs complete restoration or use as parts. Rusty floor boards. Tires are shot but will hold air and can load on your trailer. Good for parts or if you are so inclined could be restored. Frame is in good shape, body is restorable. Comes with four 16″ wheels and tires. also, it only comes with the drivers seat. Email with questions.”
Here’s a VEC #12110 that’s been militarized and ‘stickized’.
“This is a complete frame-off “down to bare metal” restoration of a VEC CJ2A Willys Jeep, S/N 12110. A jeep restored like this by a shop would cost well over $40,000 counting all the hours of “love” that went into the project. We took great care to ensure this jeep (which was manufactured on the same line as the last military jeeps) maintained as many original components as possible. Restoration began in December 2009 and we just completed it in August of 2010. You can see by the Buy It Now price that my reserve is between the starting price and the BuyItNow.
The original content of this jeep is about 95%. The jeep has the original (although converted to stick) column shift transmission. Everything on this jeep is completely restored or rebuilt. Please see pictures. We have many more pictures of the project from start to end. We have all receipts and documents and research and will provide a detailed book of the restoration process, all receipts and history of this particular jeep. The numbers on the hood are referenced from the Military database for this VIN number. Note that prior to our purchase of this restoration project, this jeep had the Leaf Springs replaced and also the Shackles were changed to a modern version by the prior owner. ….”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
“1946 Willys Overland. Has nice mb Steering wheel Some rust on underside appears to be untouched for the most part. It does have original drive train. Has new parking brake and cable. This is an ameature restored vehicle. Made from 3 jeeps none of them came with a title, so this vehicle does not have a title. You can have one made for this jeep. Check with your local DMV for more information. This jeep is about 95% complete with slight modifications like gauge panel folds down for easy access to fuses and under dash. The heater and driver seat are not original. Engine has been rebuilt. Tank heater w/ thermostat. Front windshield is fully operational like new. Passenger side window is cracked but both pieces of glass are original. Turn signal lenses are glass not plastic. Has Brass screws in transmission and master cylinder cover so they dont rust solid, and allows for easy removal when servicing.”
No pics provided. Might be a good price.
