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 .
This is an unusually painted Jeep. I think the low res of the pics has pixelated this, making it look more unusual.
“
This jeep has been restored and is ready for summer car shows, parades or just to drive around. 3 speed with maximum speed of 45 miles per hour and is a definate eye catcher. This is for the true car collector who has a taste for something unique and spectacular. Must see to appreciate.”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $3800. Additional pics.
Lots of good updates to this CJ-2A, but a few issues, too.
“1946 willys jeep. The good: buick 231 oddfire v6 runs great, 3 speed manual trans, warn overdrive;, d44 rear axle with posi and i was told 5:32 gears, d35 front axle with posi and 5:32 gears, soft top (could use a little work above the doors the stitching came loose), full soft doors, cb radio, full cage, newer tires and wheel 95%, bucket seats with 3pt harnesses, fire extinguisher, tow bar, old electric winch not fast but it works good, tow hooks, fresh paint (a few small chips in the door opening from getting in and out), power steering, the body isnt perfect but it is in good shape for being 64 years old. Only a few very small rust holes in the floor.
The bad: Turn signals are not hooked up. Something is wrong in the drivetrain i think it is the overdrive something is either worn out or the linkage is out of adjustment everything seems to shift fine except the overdrive. the problem is it wont stay in gear it will randomly work and drive fine then pop out of gear and not move until it decides it wants to. it should be an easy fix but i dont have the time. if i fix it i will be raising the price. this thing is small it is the main reason i am getting rid of it i am 6’4″ and have no leg room i can barely drive it.
I am asking $4600 the way it is. possible trade for yj or tj wrangler must be 4.0 5 spd, 92+ f-250 or f-350 reg cab long bed 4×4 preferably with a 460, 93+ ranger 4×4 preferably extra cab and manual trans, or a 60s-early 70s muscle car like chevelle, mustang, charger, nova, cougar, etc. email or call 503-962-9559 if interested.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4100
(02/18/10) This looks pretty good. I’m betting some different springs have been added. It sure doesn’t appear that their is enough length in the rear axle to properly handle the spring when it’s extended all the way. However, that could just be an illusion.
“1948 Willys Jeep. Original body. New or Rebuilt..brakes, transfer case, trans, motor, carb, tires ans tubes, and much more. Buy it and drive it home!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800
The flatties are in OK to poor shape, but that CJ-5 is tweaked too much to be worth much, unless it’s got an overdrive or something else we can’t see.
“4 Four Willys Jeep project vehicles. Make two solid vehicles out of the four. Three appear to be Military. No record found at DMV, bill of sale only. First $2800.00 takes the lot. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900
(11/11/09) No indication as to why the seller thinks this was an airforce jeep.
“1947 Jeep 3 spd, locking hubs ,beadlock wheels or factory ( your choice )New wiring, Top & doors, Disk brake conversion in front. Runs good.”
Update: **SOLD** Was $2500.
It’s got posi front and rear.

Here’s another one courtesy of Jean-Sebastien. Bids have reached $9100. No offense to the seller, but I don’t quite understand why someone would modify a ’47 into a M-38 at such a detailed level as this has been done? But, hell, I’ve done plenty of things that didn’t make any sense!
“This is a Collectors 1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A modified to m38 with a military green paint job that is a year old. The seats were done year ago in green canvas. Jeep has a new go devil four cylinder motor that is green to match paint and was installed about year ago. Jeep runs great and has been garaged every winter. It comes with the one year old green canvas top. New unidirectional 7.00-16 Tires and green rims, Paint and Interior are in Great Condition. Everything has been replaced and redone from Brakes, Paint, Interior, Exhaust. The 4×4 works great with the 3 speed T90 transmission. I can provide more pictures on request.”
A good deal of work looks like it has been done on this.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
I’m thinking this might be a M-38? I think I see tool indents on the passenger side. Those tires are pretty worn.
“Selling a original 1946 Jeep Willy that runs and drives for $5,000.00. Only modifications is it has been converted to 12 volt. Almost all parts are new only thing that needs work is the rocker panels and floor boards are rusted.”
UPDATE: Was $3250. **Status Unknown**
This is built on a 1948 CJ-2A foundation.
“A spare front and spare rear axle is included! $3,250 cash only. Medical bills force the immediate sale of this beautiful buggy.”
