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: **SOLD** Was $4700.

“946 Jeep CJ2a for sale. I pulled it out of a barn two years ago and it wasn’t running at the time. I restored the carb, fuel pump, gas tank & sending unit, fuel filter, new distributor, plugs and battery. Restored using all the original parts except the distributor. Stripped down the entire inside and primed. Really good body, no rust. I have it idling well now and I have driven, but the carb needs tuned in (metoring guage) and the timing may need to be adjusted (I set it by ear). I do not have the time to dedicate to the project and would love for this ‘ol boy to go to a real Jeep fan. Feel free to call.”
Only one photo. Not real helpful.
“Pair of old Willis one 45 other 47 little rough but it is what it is”

Parts jeep.
“1947 Jeep Willys for sale, asking $500 as a parts vehicle. Tub is entirely rusted, but the frame, the engine, transmission, transfer case axles and springs are intact. Engine probably needs a rebuild, does not run, seemed locked in gear, clutch appears failed with pedal the floor.
I bought with the intention of salvaging all of the above and rebuilding and just replacing the body. Finding 47’s with mechanical this intact is a challenge.”
