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 .

“For sale 1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep This jeep only has 11,000 miles on it. It was restored back in the 1980s and has been in storage since then. Would not take much to be able to drive it. This jeep is somewhat rare because it was one of a few that has the tire hanger on the left side, they are called leftys. I am asking 6500.00 for it.”
That body sure has some odd things going on.

“The Jeep is a 4 cylinder flat head with a 3 speed transmission. It is 4WD with high/low range. The engine runs pretty good the transmission, transfer case, and clutch all work. I have a couple of videos showing things running and working. It has newer front brakes and lines but they don’t seem to work. The rear brakes work. It has new spark plugs, battery, rebuilt carburetor, and an oil change. The frame seems to be actually quite good, it has great rims and tires and even a set of military ish rims and tires. I was hoping to make a military clone, but because of some body customization, it’s really not what I’m looking for. That said, it’s pretty darn cool. It will need a little more work to drive it on the street.”
The body has had some work.

“1951 Willys M38 military Jeep. Runs great. Good frame and drive line. Body is a little rough. 4×4 converted from 24 volts to 12.”
No obvious rust.

“Converto Jeep Willys trailer, ball hitch, heavy duty, approx. 6’x4′ box, no title, $550”
Includes a ‘complete’ PTO setup. Sounds like a mix of parts.

“Up for sale is my project jeep. The jeep itself is a 1946 Willys cj2a. Has a title, however, I believe it is a salvage title. I was working on a Dauntless odd fire conversion. The Dauntless engine is from a 1969 CJ5. I heard the engine run before it was pulled and it sounded good. Has been sitting for sometime but is not frozen. I will throw the engine stand in as well. The axles are from a 1970 narrow track CJ5 and have I believe are 3.73. The rear Axle is a Dana 44 with a limited slip. New brakes, wheel cylinders, seals and oil (both axles).
The front axle is a Dana 27 with a set of vintage Selectro lock outs. A 15 inch set of wheels and a 16 inch set of wheels are included. Tires are all junk. T90 A transmission and stock transfer case. Also comes with two new gears I was going to add when I did the conversion. However NO parts have been purchased to connect the transmission to the engine. I do have a set of motor mounts from a CJ5 for the Dauntless. The body is trash, but included. Tub has a LARGE amount of rot. Hood, front fenders and grill in O.K. shape. Comes with a roll bar. Drivers and passenger seat frame, but no hooks to connect the passenger side seat. New leaf springs and shackles all the way around. Well over 2000.00 invested. 1250.00 is firm. Cash only, face to face sale, local pick up. If it doesn’t sell for that price, I will keep it. No trades. Also have a complete PTO set up.”

“I have a 1947 Willy’s Jeep with a small block 350. I don’t need to sell I’m testing the waters. Miles are unknown but runs great. Has 4×4 and recently put in a new starter and tune up. Has 34 inch super swampers.”
Might be some value here.

“Drag Jeep 2wd with tons of parts, no title. Roller with cross member, motor mount, radiator. Tilt front end good start. Dana 44 rear with posi. With spare core housing and axles and backing plates. Extra Rancho springs. Steering box tilt column.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
Could be some value here if the engine is any good.
“Have a early cj 2a rolling chassis with original motor and trans. Don’t know a lot about it. Frame looks pretty nice. Needs new front bumper and rear cross member. Trans is not locked up. Did not try the motor”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $14,500.
(12/07/2018) Looks in good condition, but I don’t see anything to suggest it is a 1945. More probably a 1946.
