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.

https://lexington.craigslist.org/pts/d/lexington-1946-willys-cj2a/7615664873.html
“46 Willy’s jeep cj2a. Has a replacement steel body put on at some point,no real rust anywhere. Frame is solid as well,no rust holes anywhere. Has a 4.3 Chevy motor that runs very good,always starts right up. Has an electric fuel pump. Stock trans and transfer case,twin stick. One of the wheel cylinders has a slow leak so needs a little brake fluid once in a while. Seats needs attention,covers and foam,frames are good. The bad part is I don’t have a title or any paperwork at all and can’t get anything. Never been titled in Kentucky is what I was told. Got it from a farmer who’s had it for 30 + years and just used it on his property. Have some extra parts that could possibly go with it.”
UPDATE: Thanks to Roger Martin for taking some pics at this auction. It looks like there were plenty of bidders on the jeeps. Roger reports there were nine jeeps auctioned. The prices varied from $380 to $2000. The green jeep below was won with a $2000 bid (which included an extra running engine!). 3 of the Jeeps had PTOs.
