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: Price dropped to $2800.
It runs.
“I have a 1946 ? Willys Jeep I think it has the original engine 4 cyl. Engine runs doesn’t smoke. I drove it from front of house to rear, several years back. That’s as far as I have drove it. Needs restoring.”

“All around good shape.

An extra set of tires comes with it.
Call for more details.”
This December 1955 Willys News article shows a jeep exiting a fireplace in a Florida Jeep dealership. It looks too big for Santa to bring down the chimney, but a flat fender would have fit 🙂
This interesting article about the York-Hoover Corporation and its manufacture of the the early Bantam bodies—Bantam BRC-60s like the one show below at the Heinz Museum in Pittsburgh—makes an interesting read:

“Custom Jeep For Sale $10,000
The Jeep is street legal in Montana, and is registered and licensed as a 1948 with a clear title. Tires stick out of the front fenders , Bushwacker rear fenders with slight tire stick out, no signal lights, legal head lights and tail lights, legal emergency brake, horn, single windshield wiper and washer, no front or rear bumper. To be registered in another state it just depends on that particular state’s laws. In Montana it’s considered a street rod and doesn’t have to have bumpers or fenders. The body is hand made and is eight inches longer at door opening than stock. No tail gate (solid) and the fender wells are flush with the top of the body. Most of the body panels have been riveted together, (not pop rivets!) Body has been sprayed with bed liner on the inside, rocker guard on the outside. Fiberglass hood.
Looks like a stock flat fender body at first look. Most people don’t notice the difference until you point it out as it’s all in proportion. It’s 5 ¼ inches wider at cowl, 3 ½ inches wider in rear. Sides are 2 inches taller. Body is all hand built except for the Jeep cowl. Grille is made from 2 MB grilles so that is proper width with two extra bars. Body and frame are painted with Military OD field drab. The only part that is original Jeep is the cowl that is made up from two cowls, and the grille. Rear bumper has receiver hitch. Side mirrors and mount, center rear view mirror. MB military jeep side handles.

It runs.
“We’re moving and are forced to get rid of our treasured jeep. It has some rust, needs some work, but it runs. You must see to appreciate. We are asking $ 2000 but will let it go for a reasonable offer. It will be sold “as is”.”

Appears solid.

I can’t tell if this is two or four wheel drive.

“1946 Willys Jeep with many upgraded parts, not the least of which is a 350 cubic inch Chevy V8 (in a 2200lb vehicle). Is it a highway speedster? No. Can you drive it around town and love life knowing you are driving the coolest little rig around… Yes!
Features:
Chevy 350
T14 3 Speed Transmission
M18 Transfer Case
D44 Rear Axle
D27 Front Axle
4.88 Gears
Upgraded 10″ Drum Brakes all the way around.
31″ off road tires
Working brake lights and turn signals (note that it did not come with these in 1946).
Full height seats with harnesses.
About 4.5 years left on the 5 year collector plates. Not sure if these are transferable.
I’m only selling because I have one too many projects and need the precious garage space. What it needs…
It has a slight oil pan leak. Likely needs a new gasket. No oil on the top part of the motor.
Body is in great shape for a 70 year old vehicle. A little elbow grease and a spray painter would make this thing cherry.”
