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 .

“1947 jeep Cj2a, body is pretty rough, but the frame is almost perfect except for a small buckle at the frame horn. No title but all the body tags are there, even the frame tag. Runs and drives good, no brakes, needs wheel cylinders. New master cylinder. Needs foot starter wired up. Currently have a jumper wire to start. Needs a gas tank, has a plastic tank for now. May be Interested in trades for other jeeps, broncos, etc.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,500.
Has an f-head.
“46 Willies Jeep 75 % restored, engine is a 1958 Street four-cylinder, new paint, seats, wiring and much more”
This will run and drive. Given that, it seems worth a look. It’s listed as a 1948, but seems to be a CJ-3A.

“Flat fender willys Jeep with trencher. Everything’s is original, everything is there. Car has been in the family for years.

Tittle is lost.
Car is located in Sam Mateo”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
This is a project that lacks brakes and leaks fuel.
“I have this gem of a jeep here, rust free 1945 willy’s cj2a with all original tub, body panels, axles, motor, trans, t-case, and much more. Flat head 6 3 speed. It has been 12v converted and a new carb and shocks and a few small things here and there, but I’d say about 90% original. Great restoration project. It runs and goes into gear hooked up to a gas can but there are fuel leaks, and the throttle and breaks are not connected. Might be able to fix it but I’m seeing what I’ll get for it as is.
Negotiable on price, but based on what everyone is telling me about this it’s worth every penny I’m asking and then some. Would easily go for 10k with minimal work giving her a tune up (which I have two boxes of new parts to do so) and can fetch upwards of 30k fully restored, which this is the perfect rust free body and frame to do that to. I want to restore it myself but I have too many projects, took this one in on trade.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(07/08/2020) It runs, but needs work. Listed as a 1947, it could be earlier.

“Jeep with a 350. Chevy. Runs. Have extra brakes lines and wheel cylinders. Drives but pulls hard has been sitting for two years”
Joe in Mesa spotted this ad. The body looks to be from a DJ-3A convertible. I can’t tell what the chassis is, but odds are it’s a CJ-2A.
