About eWillys
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.
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 .
(03/26/2014) I see no reason to think this is a military CJ-2A.
“I have a 1946 Willys Jeep that is a military CJ2. I have 99% of everything to restore this Original except for the seats. It needs new floor pans but body is straight and solid. Engine and transmission are original. Engine completely tore down to bare block. I have all original engine components. Transmission has pto dive and high low sticks, manual. If interested in it text me or call. Would consider possible trades.”

(03/19/2014) I wonder what that piece of wood sitting in front of the grille is for?
“1952 Willys M38A-1 Army Jeep. This military jeep is very original.

UPDATE: These were listed at $3500 each, but I don’t see that in the description any more.
(02/28/2014) There’s some work to be done, but there’s some value here, too. At least one has three data plates.
“i have 2 1946 CJA jeeps for sale, both have rebuilt engines, complete rebuilt brakes even new rubber hoses
one has a new carb, both start runs and drive real well, good wheels and tires on both, both have had some body work done, both are close to being done and both come with MOST the needed parts to finish.
no tops for either jeep, best to call six zero three 995 680 two. Both sold with bill of sale only . Thanks”
I will say the motor fits nicely. But, the resale value would have been far better, and the install price cheaper, if they’d just rebuilt a flathead.
“Restored frame off older restoration. Jeep has all the original appeal with a professional install of a Toyota 20r motor. custom fabricated motor mounts and tranny bell housing. Includes hard to find pto drive (not installed) Sold on a bill of sale already had WSP inspection done and submitted to DOL. Started off life as a farm vehicle never licensed or taken on the road.”
The Mystery Castle as it appeared in Life Magazine in 1948.
On Sunday we didn’t do a whole lot, which was just fine with us. But, we did have one objective: To visit the Mystery Castle. Located just south of Phoenix, the Mystery Castle was built in the 1930s by Boyce Gulley. While living with his wife and daughter in Seattle, Boyce learned he had tuberculosis and was given six months to live. Without a word to them, he left. After wandering for a year, he discovered he wasn’t going to die. So, he settled down in Phoenix, got some free land south of the city, and built a castle for his daughter. His wife and daughter wouldn’t learn about the castle until after his death in 1945. When they arrived to take possession of the property, they were told that after living there two years, they could open up a mystery door….
