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 .

1948 Willys Jeep CJ-2A $4,000 Dayton, OH
V8 but 305 are not super HP at times, Hard Top says custom built.
Looks like a fun Jeep. But its also got a few Projects that will need some work, the fan set up leads me to think this runs a little hot, or really it may not with that set up, just not what others may want.
The stack exhaust is a neat feature, just depends on the direction of the wind and if it travels over the rig and not into it for example.

1948 Willy’s Jeep, 305 Chevy V8 engine, stock manual transmission and transfer case, custom built cab with doors, tow bar, air horns, sirens, tire chains, 12V electrical system, 38034 miles.

The frame has been sandblasted and has a painted frame and the wheels had been powered coated and a rebuilt transmission and new headlight rims also new master cylinder and also comes with one spare wheel and comes with body too and a grill.

1946 Jeep Willys CJ-2A $1,900 Carbon, IN
Gotta say price not bad, does not sound like it has a Title, and does not just start and go. So it’s a project, has rust but is mentioned that its solid.
I have this as a 1946, its listed as an ’47 but also says they don’t know exactly.
Information from seller:
I have a Willys‘s Jeep not exactly sure of the year 40 somthing that is a fixer upper but has a lot of good points going for it to start with. It’s got a solid frame and springs most everything is intact. The engine will run but will need a new carburetor and it will need a new battery . I acquired it from a guy that was building another one and I believe he kept the title for it along with the carburetor. He left an old carburetor there for a core or it may even work. I never did try it I did put gas in the intake and it over and it fired right up. this will be a great little project for somebody a lot of fun comes with a bill of sale only..1900.00 cash

Thanks, to the eagle eye of Doo Lee, some good stuff in this one if it stays with the rig, Here is the approx. location per the listing.
1945 Willys Jeep CJ-2A $2,000 Knoxville, TN
So obviously I’m not on board with the 1945, my guess is 1946. Being VEC no clue but I know some of you folks following along can look this over. The three hole mounting for the Ignition Switch is typically earlier for sure. The patina under the hood does not appear to be exactly from 1985, for $2k its not really worth figuring out the minor details, you never know maybe they tried to get this going recently or even 3 years ago and just could not.
At the end of this I’m going to toss in some background on the tires!
The tire pic is way cool, they are very old. The name is even older which thoroughly amazed me. The “Dayton Thorobred” like the horse but not spelled like the horse. What I was able to find was around September of 1917 Dayton Tire and Rubber Co. developed and tested the Dayton Thoroughbred, jump down for some more info…….
Information from seller:
Barn find ran in 85 when it was parked message with any questions willing to trade on motorcycles or trucks

Here is an ad from 1-6-1918 that notes the 4 months ago they do so….. Guess Sept 1917, they note Red Stripe side walls, in 1917, that’s pretty cool! If anyone has a red stripe 1917 Dayton Thoroughbred would love to see that. Have a spare will gladly display at the building even if its in way bad shape.
Did not take long for them to increase the price! May 1918, but in this one the name is shortened to that Thorobred deal Typo? Not a clue but it for sure is named T H O R O B R E D in the shorten version later on….. must have been a name conflict is one guess I have.
I enjoyed the tire rabbit hole, it did eat into a lot of my Willys time for today, you will have these things.
Anything you notice on the CJ-2A let me know. I think it’s an 46, not necessarily VEC differently missing a lot from the VEC class in general if it happens to be close to one

1946 Jeep CJ-2A VEC $13,000 Powell, TN
Listed as a VEC 2A.Seller has a lot listed, check it out might be something your looking for here.
Information from seller:
1946 Willy-Overland “Jeep” CJ-2A VEC Column Shift $13,000 Cash or Certified Cashiers Check.
No Trades. No Electronic payments. Must come to Powell, TN for pickup. WILL NOT SHIP. ***I will not answer to “is this available”*** I will not discuss price online. What’s my best offer? What’s yours?
Up for sale is a hard to find Very Early Civilian (VEC) CJ-2a with Column Shift.
Serial Number/ VIN 33317.
Jeep drives very well up to about 45 MPH. Speedo, temp, tach, and oil pressure work. Fuel and amp meter are meh. Engine pulls great once warmed up. Transmission shifts fairly well. Clutch works great and doubles as a calf exercise.
The rear has been swapped out for a Dana 44 and it actually has limited slip (both wheels turn). Front hubs are Warn locking and have the originals in a box. Body is in really good condition.
Minimal rust, although there is a little rot as shown in the pictures. Original color is Pasture Green and you can see it in the pics. Was told the CJ was painted in the mid 90s.
I added the roll bar and 3 point seat belts. I made the canvas cover in my living room. Original windshield and frame are long gone and replaced with a CJ-3 / M38.
Does have a spare tire and mount. Comes with new exhaust system still in box.
This CJ is mostly original. What has been changed out or replaced has been done so in a tasteful manner. Brakes have been redone.
Complete wiring harness redo.
Stops fine for a 80 year old jeep. This Jeep is ready to drive as is. When I bought it, I did a few things to ensure it was safe and reliable to drive. Other than that, it’s perfect for coffee getting and showing off. This is not a garage queen. Drive it and SMILE! Clean title.

1950 Custom Jeep Project $1,800 Lakeland, FL
If you look at the article this took some time and work to build this one back in the day.
Looks like its mostly there and in the back of the rig and comes with an extra roller from what I can tell.
This could be a real neat unique project and sounds like you need to see the build.
Check out those NDT for 1976 this was awesome!
Previously on eWillys:
Information from seller:
This Custom Jeep was built in Riverview in the 60’s. It has a body(looks like a Land Rover)that is very thick metal and was made for the woods. The engine is a stock Jeep F-head 134 CI that has been partially disassembled. Included in this sale is the 50’s Jeep chassis pictured with another compete drive train. Neither Jeep has a title. With some effort you can have a one of a kind woods /road machine. You could not come close to building this quality Hunting buggy for this money
