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 .

(07/31/2014) Nice jeep. Seller has to sell as son is too tall already to fit behind the wheel.
“1947 Willy’s Jeep with Running gear from early 70s CJ-5 and tilt colum from cadilac boxed frame lots of chrome and stainless steel the jeep was on display for over 30 years at concord 4 wheel drive specielties after so many years sitting it needed the fuel tanks ( yes it has a 20gal auxilery tank) and brakes and fuel system completly gone through and the carb replaced the power steering pump and steering box and water pump replaced then i bought a new convertable top and seats and new BF Goodrich mud terrains and installed and ARB air Locker in the rear I went through the whole jeep spent about 20k to give to my son when he turned 16 and have only driven it to the Oregon dunes but sadly my 14yo is now 6’3and over 200lbs and he is never gonna fit behind the wheel by the time he is 16 and 6’7 like the doctors say he will probably be”
It’s a project with a good frame and body, other parts, except for a motor.
“This Jeep is a project that I started about a year ago. I recently inherited another Jeep and do not need this one. This Jeep comes with a brand new body that is still in the shipping crate. It comes with new hood, tailgate, fenders and windshield. This is a late body with all the improvements.This body kit sells for $3749.00. The frame is finished and has all new spring mounts (8), battery tray, front bumper with gussets, rear crossmember with gussets, pedal mount and front shock mounts. This frame has no rust out. All welding is completed. You will not find a better frame. Has 4 new leaf springs. This was a complete Jeep and comes with everything that I have for it except the motor. This Willys has a clear Delaware title in my name. All the hard work is done. This would make a great father and son project or make your old rusty Jeep perfect.”

“I have a 1946 willys. I’ve been told it has a 327 crate motor in it I believe combined with a turbo 350. I know it will try and stand on two wheels. It is a two wheel drive it came from Arizona. I was given to me but unfortunately I do not fit in it. The tires are in Excellent shape and are pretty much brand new. I haven’t done a lot of investigation into it. It sits in my brothers garage and is started every once in a while. I’ll do my best to answer any questions but I have not done any of the work to it and or purchase it myself so my knowledge on it is very limited. “

I received the following hilarious email announcing this jeep was on eBay:
Hi there,
My husband’s cruel, unreasonable wife is forcing him to sell one of his three Jeeps. This is a 1946 CJ 2A listed on eBay. Located in Calera, AL.
Best regards,
Amy Beth (cruel and unreasonable, but I sure can cook!)
“Not running as is – new battery needed. I have too many jeeps need to get rid of some. We are reducing our motorpool and this is the first to go. We have had a lot of fun in this, but it has not been abused, nor left out in the rain to rust. Has been stored outside in a shed. I can email more photos. Driver side mirror not included (goes to my GPW and is not included in this sale. GPW is also for sale but is being restored.) T84 transmission, M38 windshield, but I have original. Front-mounted hand winch works. New gas tank.
NO TITLE”
No pics provided.
“Jeep is in parts. Frame has been restored. Engine/trans/transfer case are sitting on a moving dolly. Wheels are painted harvest tan with new non directional tires. Body is there but needs major work (the tub is a frankenstein of two jeeps). Extra parts come with the jeep include extra engine block, generator, springs (I think to a cj5), new gas tank, and new brake lines. Needs someone to finish the restoration. Bill of sale only. Will part the wheels if desired. I’m looking to move this so feel free to send any offers.”
