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 .

“Second owner, owned for 30 years. 327 Chevy, Munci 4 Speed, 8 inch rear-end. Very dependable. Runs awesome. Ready to rumble.”
Thanks to Maury for doing the leg work on this one. The box behind the rear seat was used for gas, but we don’t know if it was to power the jeep or to carry aviation fuel for some unknown reason. It’s not a typical gas cap.
The seller provided some additional information:
The “box” behind the passenger seat is the fuel cell (gas tank). This jeep was equipped by LAX’s TWA. I bought the jeep through ebay some 5 years ago from the 3 owner who was a young plastic surgeon for the army he painted it green (I was glad he did a bad job, I brought back the red with on can of Goooff and found the red to be in very nice shape) and he added the passenger seat. However he never got it running and let it sit out resulting in the trans to fill with water due to the boot around the stick shift. I had to disconnect the drive shaft to be able to move it. I picked up the jeep in Southern Ca. Another Item not working is the speedometer, When rebuilding the trans, the speedo gear came out brittle and broke, Having not able to find one at the time of the rebuild, we left it out.
From the ad:
“1969 Jeep CJ5, Original California jeep, used by TWA at LAX (one of 3 they used that year). Jeep was to be used by the “Fire Inspector” (you can barely read it on the dash) Has original fuel cell put in for the airport. Original 4 cyl motor. 3 speed trans, 2 wheel drive, (NOT 4X4) Great on fuel.
I have had the trans rebuilt completely $2500. Unknown to me at time of purchase here on ebay, but the trans boot was gone and the trans filled up with rain water and locked up with rust. Had to find and buy, then rebuild a starter (450). Rear end rebuilt with new seals and bearings (500). New tires and new battery. Minimal rust not bad for a 47 year old jeep (see photo) Now the bad news, due to injury at work, and health reasons, I am unable to finish my goal to restore to original TWA days. All that is left is the body. I have over $5000 invested. My loss can be your gain. Jeep is located in Goleta, California. Clean and clear CA title.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
Doesn’t run.
“This is my 1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep. It has been previously been stored in a barn for the past 25+ years and I are looking to sell. Everything is original except for the tires and rims, which makes this truly a barn find. There are not many more like this one. Original 4 cylinder motor, 4 wheel drive, 3 speed manual transmission. It is currently not running, and the motor is seized up. Although, I have not done any work to it. This Jeep will make for an awesome project or a great restoration vehicle. ”
Given where the bends are in the front loop, I wonder if this was original a 3B cage.
“This is for a 1952 m38 jeep.

36s”

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $2700.
This truck runs, but hasn’t been run in a while. The brakes need to be completed. There may be more work necessary here as well.
“I have for sale my Dads Willys pickup. It is equipped with a small block Chevy 283 engine in it. Engine runs but haven’t ran it in awhile, certain it’ll fire right up once we prime the fuel system again. It’s also equipped with all new front disk brake conversion which was never fully ran as it needed bigger rims to accommodate the disk brake setup. The front disk brake setup alone cost $1000 new. We also have with the disk brake kit a Wilwood brake master cylinder which we didn’t put on yet. Comes with all hardware and instructions to complete installation. With very little work it’ll make a
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3750.
(06/13/2016) Has no title. No glass in windshield. Needs
“This is a fairly pure 1946 CJ2A. Biggest modifications seem to be the tail gate has been replaced with a solid panel with gas can and spare tire mounted there. Electrical system is 12 volt with alternator. Carb has been rebuilt, starter replaced, new gas tank and lines installed. New master cylinder, steel and flex brake lines installed. Starts and runs good. Brakes work. Shifts well, four wheel and transfer case shift and function well. No glass in windshield, tires all hold air but will soon need replacing, Has a heater installed but condition is unknown, lights are not hooked up, Body is rough but better than most of these I’ve seen. Would be an easy restoration from this point. No title, sold with bill of sale only, Because it is 70 years old it is sold “as is, where is” with no guarantees.”
