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: Still Available.

(10/05/2017) A “rehab” is a fair way to describe this.
“This Willys Jeep CJ2A has had an off-chassis rehab. It has a green exterior with gray interior. It is powered by a 4-cylinder Hurricane engine with manual transmission. This Jeep is 70 years old and was built after WWII. Titled as 1946 Jeep.”

That looks like some big rope on the front!
“1947 CJ2A Willy Jeep. All mechanically redone, all wiring, new starter, generator, radiator, belts, brakes, battery, bulbs, gas tank, ext. Body is in good shape.
Runs great and is a lot of fun. Send your offer.”

Looks promising.
“I have a 1948 willys cj2a for sale. This jeep has a pretty clean body and NO rust. We originally bought it with the intention to do a v6 swap and change the suspension. We completed two other projects and we’re running out of space. It does not have a motor but it does have the transmission and transfercase along with several other parts.”

This is a mix of CJ and WWII parts. The top may be a Beck or a Kelly.
“Sold as a project vehicle to willing rebuilder. Rough shape but good drivetrain. Motor free turning but has no battery, starter not working.”

Looks like there could be value.
“Nice willys jeep good Engine 500 obo”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
This runs and is has a complete rear PTO setup plus shield. The body needs work.
“I have a rare little jeep.. It is completely original down to every nut and bolt. The ONLY downside to this jeep is rust in the body. I have yard driven this jeep over the summer. It need brakes and lines hooked up. I have a NEW complete set of brakes lines that will go with it and a NEW master cylinder. This jeep has a new gas tank and fuel line. I have not started the jeep in 2 months but the engine is in great shape and does not smoke or make noise or leak oil on my drive way. This jeep is $2000 firm and is worth every penny in parts from seat frames, pto, engine, gas tank, and tons of other parts. pto and engine alone are almost worth my asking price.”
Ted shared this eBay auction. It’s a beautiful jeep. It is missing the bow holders on the driver’s side and the spare tire mounted on the passenger side, but those are minor quibbles.

“This Willys is a Cj2a that has been completely restored from ground up.With the motor being all standard it has not been run much. I Ordered a new steel body mostly for the rust issues under the tool box and hat channel.By the time I replaced the channel and floor I was getting up in labor and cost.
I completely disassembled it and started with the frame and worked my way up. The list that follows of new parts installed to make it drive on the highway and be safe to operate. I upgraded the brakes, from 9″ to 11″” self adjusting; And new dual master cylinder. Converted it to a single wire Alternator to get the 12v needed for modern lights and all new cloth wiring.Rebuilt the steering box with new sector shaft, and the jeep does not wander going down the road. All steering is tight.I replaced most all the bolts.The list of parts is long and I did not cut corners on the restore.
