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 $1200.
This might be a good price. The body appears in good condition.

It’s hard to believe it runs. It’s a parts jeep.
“This is a 1948 WILLYS Jeep that runs, she smokes but she runs, good for parts as she shifts and I have the original Michigan title that matches the plate on the firewall…body is bad and jeep is for sale for parts only, needs to be trailered as tires are also poor… 920-856-6539 or neuby47@hotmail.com”

A reader named Terry alerted me to this sale.
“1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep Serial Number 56566
I am selling this Jeep because I am ill with a progressing brain disease and there is more work to be done on this Jeep than I expected. Transmission is inoperable, locked in neutral, and needs replacement or rebuilding. Steering gear needs work. Engine is perfection, runs like a dream. I originally purchased it with the idea that it would take the place of my Ural, so I could continue going out sight-seeing and exploring. … The Jeep’s original flathead, four-cylinder engine (engine #103462) has less than 300 miles on it since being completely rebuilt.”
This might be a pretty good price for only $1000 given the work that has been done.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $24,950.
It looks nice enough, but I just don’t think the seller makes a strong argument for the rather high asking price.
“1946 Jeep CJ2A that has had a complete body-off restoration. Many items have been chromed and a new set of chrome wheels and tires. The engine is original and has been completely gone through. The Jeep hasn’t gone more that 50 miles since being restored. Custom seats have been added and many other accessories.”
The seller is in the rockies somewhere ….
