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.
(06/26/2016) Looks like it has the hybric M-38/MB replacement body.
“This is a 1946 Jeep Willy re-built from frame up. Has been garaged since it was built in 1995. All parts are original and have photos depicting every detail as it was built.”

Dan spotted this nicely restored wagon. Despite the price, there is still a little work left.
“98 % complete needs a few final touches…Everything gone through…no rust, new paint inside and out, rubber, glass, headliner, white wall tires new or replated chrome original radio…rewired 12 volt system and electric wipers. Everything else is back to stock much more replaced. It has the F-6 161 Hurricane 685 Engine very rare 1952-1955. Sandblasted to bare metal professional paint job. This was a project I did while taking care of my terminally ill wife, she has passed and it is why I’m selling it. I’m willing to negotiate with shipping. A perfect parade vehicle…the PICs speak for themselves…I can email more. Call for more information.”

(09/12/2016) Runs and drives.
“I have a 1948 Willy’s CJ2A for sale. It is all original engine, trans and body. Has had recent paint job, not perfect, but looks good. Tires are 70%. Runs and drives great, fun little off roader! I have too many other toys and need to clear some space for winter. Shows 43XX miles. Odometer works, but speed needle is broke off. Comes with some documentation.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $200.
Bill shared this one. It looks like it pedal’s and drives, but also appears to need restoration.
“I ALSO HAVE A 1950s JEEP PEDAL CAR for $200.00”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9000.
“Beautiful 1948 Willys Cj2a. The body (repro with 3a windshield) is super straight with ZERO dents and ZERO rust. I can say, “Excellent” condition. The old paint was sanded down; all the nicks and scratches were filled and sanded. The body was then primed and professionally painted. The color is Desert Tan 686 C.A.R.C. substitute. The floor is black bed lined. It has the original L-Head 134 “Go Devil” motor (runs great and quiet), Dana 25 front axle, Dana 41 rear axle, with 5.38 gears. T90 3 speed transmission and Dana 18 transfer case with Warn overdrive. Roll bar and seat belts installed. Brand new 12 volt conversion. All wiring cleaned up. All the lights, blinkers and gauges work. Glass is perfect. Seat covers are heavy canvas. Vehicle has been stored inside. Front hubs were added for better fuel mileage. There is also a white vinyl top in good condition (needs two new windows though). Registered and titled (clear) in Oregon. Has VIN #.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1800.
(02/17/2016) Doesn’t run.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(02/13/2016) Has a few mods.
“Looking to sell my 1947 CJ2A, it’s been restored at some point and they did a nice job, body is straight and clean, rust free, it runs great, I’m sure it was rebuilt at some point, has a couple little oil leaks, not bad just marks its territory, kinda like a O’l Harley, tranny slips out of second when you take your foot of the gas, I have a deluxe rebuild kit for it, all lights work, paint is great and stops good, speedo and fuel gauge not working but all gauges are new just haven’t traced the problem out, won’t go but 55 so haven’t worried bout it, it has a 3A windshield on it I’m pretty sure, I put new leaf springs all way round it, it’s a good driver and ready to go, sure I left a lot out so come see it and take a spin, for way less than the price of a Polaris ranger and you can drive to church in it”

John found these photos within the Bundesarchiv in Germany and put this history together. Thanks for sharing!
The first one is in Berlin, taken June 1, 1948. the German caption reads: Amerikanische MP. fährt mit armierten Jeeps und Panzern am Tage der Währungsreform durch die Westsektoren Berlins. (American MPs travel with armed jeep on the currency reform day thru the west sector of Berlin)
The second photo has a similar caption and is dated the same day.
The third one is also in is Berlin, but it is dated in May 1, 1950. It is at the Brandenburg Gate looking into the Soviet Sector from the British Sector, which starts almost behind the jeep. The gate is actually inside the Soviet Sector.
The Gate today, from the opposite side.
Mark & Tom Smith just completed this video about George and his Army jeep Parts shop.
It takes a battalion to push a jeep?
