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 .
This has some updates, including a different sort of carb and exhaust setup. The top is from Porter & Reed.

“1946 willys Jeep 2.8 GM V6 $3,600 located in northeast Nebraska”
The sellers of this are getting some evaluations of the powertrain before deciding upon a price. But, they posted it on Facebook. I’m not sure where it is located either.

Listed as a 1948, this has a column shifter. Looking at the interior pic of the left side, this might have had indents that were filled in. Unclear how much value is here given the engine issue and body rust.

“I have a 1948 Jeep Willy CJ2A The engine will need to be rebuilt and atleast one tire replaced. The front floor board has several rust spots. There is no windshield. This is definitely a project Jeep”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(06/21/2023) Seems a good price.

“Rough shape, potential project! Have title which is huge with these old Jeeps. Unfortunately not the original engine, but fortunately it has a 5.8 liter motor from an 80s ford! Hit me up with questions!”
Unclear how much value is here. Look like some custom work just behind the front bumper.

“1949 Willy’s cj2a does not run have title”
Listed as a 1947, the body looks to be a Lefty, so likely a 1948.

“It needs work for restauration, it has motor and transmission, papers”
Thanks to Greg for spotting this one. Looks in good shape for the price.

“Nice running fun Willys Jeep, motor and trans been gone through, converted to 12 volt. Fun to cruise-“
This could be a good deal. I would follow the fuel line or clean the tank, as it sounds like something is plugging up the fuel given the description.

“Runs, Goes, Then Dies, Then Runs Again… Needs a little love from someone who knows what they are doing. Probably a simple fix to be reliable fun. Sold As Is.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000.
(07/15/2023) Nick’s selling this early CJ-5 trencher project.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/656189109866141
“This is a first model year 1955 CJ5 serial #13845. It has an original Auburn Jeep-A-Trench and the rare factory T98 4-speed transmission with granny low gear.
This style trencher is the gear-draulic which uses a hydraulic pump to raise and lower the unit. A driveshaft will slowly drive the Jeep while it trenches.
I’m told this last ran approximately 10 years ago. Engine spins over, but has low compression of 25-35 psi. Rings likely need soaked. I pulled the intake valve cover off and it looked clean.
Unsure of trencher condition itself, but check out Turn N Burn on YouTube where another trencher was brought back to life without much work.
Frame has patches as most trencher Jeeps do. Aside from the left rear corner dent, body is pretty decent for its age.
No title. Firm on price.
