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 $3000.

“1948 Willys Jeep with 1953 motor. New carb., springs, wheel cyl., tires.”
UPDATE: Was $7000. **SOLD**
(04/29/2010) Here’s a beautiful CJ-2A. The seller would prefer to sell it locally.
“Mostly restored but some work still needed on steering (I have parts) and the brakes need some attention. I bought this a couple of years ago with the intent of completing restoration. I immediately developed some serious health issues, which is the reason for the sale. Would like to get somewhere around the $8500 I paid for it. I’m open to reasonable offers. This jeep runs like a new one and is drivable as it is. Included is a half top with doors from Beachwood Canvas. Everything works (yes, even the lights and gauges!) Too much to write about, if interested get in contact via email and I will give you my phone number. Please write “red jeep” in the subject box to hopefully avoid spam/scam. Local sale only.”
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $1500.

It sounds a bit rough.
“I have a 46 cj2a jeep with no motor or tranny searing box or stem or title, theirs a bit of rusted threw spots, but nothing to bad, its been painted flat black, not the best job but it looks alot better then it did, jeeps been sitting in the shop for a couple of years now and i have no use for it anymore, need money for other rigs, the drivers side window it cracked drivers side floor boards have rusted threw but there is a homemade piece sitting there just needs welded in passenger side has a actually store made piece sitting there it needs welded as well, fenders and roll bar are both bolted on solid, the full dash is there,lights and wires are all there, the jeep could use a nice sand blasting job and it would look a million times better. email me for more info/ picks im willing to trade for a truck of some sort that runs and doesn’t need much work or none at all.”
This looks like a great find by Jim. The serial number is 17614. It runs …
“A very rare restoration project. I pulled this CJ-2A out of a barn in Crawford Colorado. It is a very rare original VEC agri jeep, 1946 early serial number, was originally three on the tree, has tool indents, 3 piece agri dash plate, early wire steering wheel, 6 volt, original wheels, original seats, original everything, very little rust, runs, motor is super quiet. Has been in storage, will need brakes, tune up etc The serial number is 17614. Please dont tow this extremey old rig at 70 mph, bring a trailer.”

UPDATE: Last price $8,500. Status Unknown.
(03/01/2010) Here’s a modded VEC that looks in very good condition.
“This 46 Willys has been completely gone through. It has always been garaged and is extremely clean. It has a Buick V-6 that runs strong – Turbo 350 transmission – Detroit Locker 44 in rear, 27 in front – brand new Toyo 33″ mud terrains – 2 in. lift with spring over – power steering – Ramsey 8,000 lb. winch – 1 year old paint job with no nicks or scratches – custom built roll cage with built-in speakers – CD player – Corbeau race seats and lap belts – GT steering wheel with telescoping and tilt column – tacometer – newer gauges – BNM floor shifter – bikini top – lots of chromed parts and much more! Must see to appreciate – serious inquiries only – no trades.”
UPDATE: An eWillys reader bought this CJ-2A. Congrats!
This does have the rare bed extension on the back.
“1948 Original Willys Jeep. All records since 1967. Barn kept. Title, tagged and inspected. Everything works.”
This looks more like a CJ-3A to me. It’s clearly a paint job from another era … I love it! I’m wondering if this has the hudston steering. It has hydraulic clutch/brake and probably swing pedals.
“1946 Willy Jeep. I believe it is the CJ – 2A model. This is a perfect starting spot for a full restore / rebuild. Pretty much everything is there other than the original engine which was only there for a little while because my Grandfather swapped it for a 283 Corvette Engine. Fenders, hood, grille, rims, tires, spare, 4 wheel transmission, axles, unknown transmission (hooked up with 283), steering column, steering wheel, shift linkage, all seats, gas tank, lights, wiring, ignition with key, fold down windshield, more random parts, etc. Please note, these pictures were taken a while ago and the tachometers are no longer with the car, everything else is the exact same.”

There’s a variety of updates to this flattie.
“35″ tires in great shape, 327 Chevy from a 69 Impala, racing seats with 5 point harnesses, and a New besttop top included. Body is in OK shape, some dents, some minor rust. Needs minor repairs you can do while you drive it like a front end alignment, misc wiring repair, and a brake upgrade. Asking $4700. Possible partial trades for atv, log splitter, or ? Would also trade for 4 door pickup or suv 98 or newer.”
