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: This was for sale back in 2011. It was originally from Colorado, so the body might be in good shape.

It’s a project.
“1953 Willys Jeep CJ-3B. Great Project Vehicle. I cannot complete because of my work schedule. The pictures are of the day I brought it home. Since then I have removed
the Koenig metal top, hood, windshield, fenders, radiator and grille. I have the stock engine on an engine stand. The engine was running when removed from another Jeep. The transmission, transfer case and axles are still mounted. The Body pan is pretty solid, with some surface rust and floor pan repairs needed. The Meters and heater equipment I have stored in my garage. I have a 12volt alternator and Original oil bath type air filter. I have purchased replacement right hand lug studs and nuts to replace the left hand original and old right hand ones. I also have some new replacement brake parts. The metal doors to match the top are not in the photos but I have them.
I am interested in selling the whole package but would entertain other offers. Would like to get $1500.00 cash for the whole package but will consider cash plus shooting sports equipment. Make me an offer. Email me and I will respond. Thanks!”

UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $3000.
Some better pics would help with this jeep. It might be worth a look.
“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A, Jeep was running when I put it in the garage. I started the tear down process, so it is in a dismantled sate right now but a good start for someone to take over. I ran out of resources to complete. All original parts are still present. This would be a great project and very little body work is required. I am open for serious offers so get a hold of me and see if we can come to an agreement.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
Pics now provided.
“This is a project of epic size, or a parts vehicle. Original flat 4cyl single barrel carb, body is shot. Lost storage and hate to have to send to the bone yard, but need to get it out of the yard. Start that father/son project while he’s in preschool and have it ready for him to drive at 16!!”

This appears solid and early. This should be #13337 VEC CJ-2A.
“For sale is a very early 1946 CJ 2A VEC (Very early civilian) with a 5 digit serial number these were the first jeeps made immediately after the WW2 jeep, has many willys military parts such as floating rear axle, military style windshield, body side tool indents, etc… This Vec has the rare and valuable 3 speed on the column shifter. Engine has been completely gone through, runs like a top, jeep has been converted to 12V but have original 6v generator and regulator. Seats have new canvas, starts, drives and stops well. Some body work needed these jeeps in restored condition sell for upwards of $15,000. This one is for sale for $6500”
