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 .

“Runs strong and drives good. The motor is the special Corvette 327 with the ‘camel hump’ heads. Was told the motor alone is worth asking price. Plus about$700 in tires. Geared low so not great for highway use. Has the drop down tongue for pulling to your favorite climbing spots. New big o tires including the spare. Call me to come check it out. ”
Not sure how much value is here.

“For sale is my 1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A. Asking $9,500.00 o.b.o. The CJ-2A was the first civilian Jeep model ever produced after WWII. The Jeep is in great running and cosmetic condition. It had a frame off restoration about 5 years ago. Body, frame, transmission, transfer-case, axles are stock/original (However, I can’t prove that they are all 100% original to this Jeep or what you might call “matching numbers”, as there may have been major components replaced over the last 70 years of this Jeeps life). The engine has been replaced with a very strong running carbureted Chevrolet 4.3L V6 with a modern alternator and electric fuel pump.
The Jeep starts right up and runs strong, has a nice heavy clutch and a smooth shifting 3 speed transmission. The body is original and has had some new steel welded in on it (inevitably, there is some bondo to smooth out the patches) in various places but the work is well done and the Jeep looks very straight for an original 1946 body. There is no rust or bubbles anywhere on the body. The hat channels are perfectly solid. The frame is also rust free and 100% solid. All 5 wheels and tires are like new (installed last summer) with only about 25 miles on them (zero miles on the spare) since then. The tires are Firestone NDT military style. Other things done to the Jeep in the last year include: 4 new shocks, both transmission mounts, new shift boots, new fuel filter, new air filter/air cleaner, transfer-case front output yoke and seal, transfer-case pan gasket, all fluids (transmission, t-case, coolant, F/R diff’s, steering knuckles, steering box, and engine oil) changed.
