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 .

Dan pointed me to the Miracle of America Museum, mentioning there was an old Ford A vehicle mounted to tracks. The museum is still run by Gil Mangels, who co-founded the museum in 1981 with his wife, who passed away in 2012. The museum is located 70 miles due north of Missoula. Looks like a fun place to visit.
After looking through the eclectic collection of items, I figured they might have a jeep or two. I found a M-38A1, a possible MB/GPW, and M-151.
Justin wrote a good story about his CJ-2A project and wanted to share it with readers. Having completed his first CJ-2A, now he wants another. I can’t blame him.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer
This is different.
“This willys jeep has an all alumium body which will never rust or corrod and since it is made out of alumium it is a lite ride. The body is on an s-10 sand blasted frame with a 96′ wheelbase. It is 2 wheel drive with a 305ci v-8 in it, it has a 30 over Big cam with a 700 R4 trany behind it. It has 13,500 miles on the engine and tranny, was never used for drag racing. It gets around 20 miles per gallon on the highway.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This has a new body.
“1946 willys jeep, new body, seats, new from frame up. Motor runs good but needs rebuilt. Original miles unknown. 16″ x7.00 n/d tires. Great restore start.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(12/16/2012) Looks like a nice rig. Lots of detail pics. However, a variety of minor updates keep it from looking “like it was in 1948 from the factory”.
“This is a rare, 1948 Jeep CJ2A Willys that will take you to the car shows to win trophies or will take you across the desert. ONLY 570 MILES SINCE FULL RESTORATION. Jeep is new.
This jeep went through a full documented, nut and bolt, frame off restoration in 2008 including:

Pictures, journal entries, receipts, Appraisal, etc all included with sale. This jeep is laser straight and looks like it was in 1948 from the factory (Except color, fancy soft top and seat belts). Everything works. Hop in and drive.”
UPDATE: Sold! See Comments.
This jeep is a few hours south of me. ONly one pic, but it looks good. I’m surprised the windshield wipers are mounted above the windshield.
“Has nice top and tires, runs/drives good. Engine was converted to Ford 4-cyl. Sorry no restoration or maintenance history but it’s a nice little Jeep! Serious buyers email or call/text 208 830 1425.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500
This sure looks nice for the price. It’s got the wrong windshield at the very least.
“Runs and drives great. Engine is original type Flat Head L-134. Original T90
three speed transmission with Dana 18 Transfer case. Body is original M38
with some CJ2a parts such as Hood and Windshield. 16″ wheels with 900×16
NDCC tires. New gas tank, New aftermarket front seats. Will not find a
better running Willys Jeep.”
