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 .
Hasn’t run since 1997. This might have a Porter & Reed hardtop.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
I’m not sure what’s all here. It’s listed as a ’46, but looks to be an M-38A1 body. A cab enclosure hardtop in included.
“40s Willys Jeep for parts was told drivetrain was good has a couple good fenders best offer”
Lots of mods to this jeep. The rear PTO bar has been accessorized a bit.

Listed as as 1946 Cj-2A, it looks more like a CJ-3A. If the top only has surface rust, then there could be value here.

“Need parts? has a Koneig hard top with doors. Engine ran when last tuned off.”

(12/08/2019) It’s a big project.
“1948 Willy Jeep Great project if you are interested in setting up and creating your own ride. All parts are here just no time to do the project, looking to clear up garage space. Pink slip on hand. I have engine, transmission, bell housing, hood, windshield, all part to complete the build.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(08/16/2019) This body has had lots of work done to it.

“During a frame off restoration we realized the body we have does not match the frame. The body (tub, fenders, hood, front and rear bumper) is for a ’48 vintage CJ-2A. Fenders and hood are in excellent shape. Hood has a customized box that was installed to accommodate the non-stock (for the body) engine. Tub is in average condition. Body mount channels on the bottom have some wastage and will need to be replaced. The storage bin under the passenger seat is missing. Otherwise, repairs have been made to previous wastage. We need to make room for the new body.
Entire body was on an operational chassis and was driven. As-is, it is functional. Restoration will require attention in the above areas.
I also have the front grill and windshield. Am not sure if I’m going to repurpose those but if not, they will be included with this body.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(12/30/2019) Might be a good price. Will need some work.

“1948 Willy’s. 4000 OBO
Overall, pretty impressive for a 71 year old vehicle. Starts, runs, and drives. I’ve taken it in multiple long drives.
With that said, there’s a few thing that need attention. The clutch, although it works, makes a sound. I bought all new clutch parts but haven’t installed. Throw out bearing, forks, cables, clutch, etc.
The brakes recently stopped working and I haven’t had time to look at it. Up until very recently they worked.
One of the pictures shows the exhaust manifold which smokes a little bit when you first start it.
I also have a newly rebuilt carter carb that’s original but there’s an aftermarket one in there now. It works fine but I wanted original. So I’d send you with the new clutch and carb.
I know it’s not perfect but a great Jeep that just needs some attention I don’t have time for.”
