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: Price dropped to $5500.
(04/08/2017) I think this has been listed in the past. That fiberglass body looks familiar.

Some assembly required.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000.
(02/15/2017) I don’t see anything that suggests the 1945 is in fact a 1945.
“These two beauties are project willys jeeps need to be restored and do not currently run. I have not tryed to start them since I’ve had them.I have one complete 1947 cj2a willys jeep with title. A 1945 cj2a willys jeep rolling chassis title in hand complete drivetrain and running gear,minus tub. I have 2 fenders ,windshield frame and a radiator for the rolling chassis. Both jeeps motors (go devil’s)turn over freely, but do not run. The 1947 has the head off to inspect cylinders which look good. Alot of new parts which includes motor gasket set gas tank and other parts totaling over $1000. Frames are patched over the years on both. The tube has bondo and some ugly metal work done to it… I was going to patch the tube with new patch panels and buy a new tub for the rolling chassis. Everything is there just needs to be restored or leave as is for a rat rod look. Asking $4200 which is a steal on these two old pieces of military/american history!!! Price is some what firm. Can deliver with in reason or extra cash I’ll deliver anywhere cash in hand. Any questions please call, if your reading this they are still for sale. Will consider trades for Chevrolet cars or trucks 2wd and 4×4. Any thing old really, selling because of loss of interest in them and to many project’s.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(09/17/2016) It’s a project.
“I have an original 48 Willis jeep has military tires with spare all the lights gauges and seats are there. Needs a starter and a tune up and it will run just don’t have time to work on it. Does have a couple rust spots but for being a 48 it’s rust is minimal. Brakes work wheels turn. Cash is preferred but I’d possible trade for a gas saver car I’d like it to an auto but not against a manual.”
May be some value here.
“1946 willy cj2a project tub has new floor pans replaced and tail gate removed and filled in 80% of the sheet metal work completed comes with both fenders, grill, windshield, and frame, missing hood.”

No engine.
“No title, only bill of sale. Can register in Vermont and convert to MD/VA. Willy’s CJ2A without engine, but most all else is there. Frame, running gear, transmission, transfer case, original brass? radiator. Body is rough. When these icons are gone that’s it! I can maybe deliver, distance depending.”

Not sure how much value is here. That grille has been pushed forward by the Ford 6.
“ford 6 cylinder needs a lot of tlc. but a lot to work with. no title”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500. Looks to have a replacement body.
(05/08/2014) “Up for sale is a 1947 Civilian Red CJ2A Steel Body with a Later Over Head Valve Engine. Please look at photos for more details as the history of this Jeep is unknown along with all the main spec’s.

“1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A for sale. I bought this Jeep in 1999. I am only the third owner of this 70 year old vehicle. I completed a total frame off restoration on it. Everything was restored to original with the exception of a 12 volt conversion. I have taken this Jeep to two car shows and did win an award at one of them.
Since I did a lot of the work myself, this could be considered an amateur restoration. Some of the work completed during the restoration include: Engine was rebuilt by Ron’s machine shop in Ohio – Frame was sandblasted and painted – Wheels were sandblasted and powder coated – New body tub and front fenders from Willys-Overland in Toledo – Original hood, grill, tailgate, and windshield frame – I rebuilt transmission, transfer case, and carburetor.”
