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 .
Specifically, it seems one of my fingers is either broken or dislocated (two different diagnoses) while playing basketball today. The worst part was that we had just barely started playing. I had hoped the swelling would decrease enough to allow more efficient typing, but that did not happen.
However, there was some good news. Not only did I make the shot, but it was the ring finger on my left hand that was damaged, a finger I have no further use for anyway. That poor finger has been more damaged, on and off the court, than any of my other fingers :-).
UPDATEIII: Now on ebay http://www.ewillys.com/?p=53328
UPDATE II: You can view larger pics here: http://jpegbay.com/gallery/000807963-.htmlof this fake ad. The seller will only take payment via Google Checkout because he is in such a hurry. Paul points out something I missed — this has an 8″ lift … or not!Thanks to John for detective work on this one.
UPDATED: John alerted me that this GPW is also listed for sale in Chicago. Since neither ad mentions the jeep being in either city, be on a scam watch just to be safe.
This could be a reasonable price. Appears in good shape. The hood blocks are in a strange location.

I was checking out Wes’ Offroad Action site the other day and ran across this amazing photo. There is no evidence to support the rumor that the driver was texting just before this occurred (in fact, texting was a few decades away yet). But, I’ll make the claim anyway. See kids, particularly my kids, don’t text and drive off road!

“Here for sale is my WWII Jeep. It is fairly complete with many extra parts. It runs and drives, has a new windshield with modern auto safety glass. If you have any questions, please email me. I am asking $2800 or best offer. I need to sell this to pay for the rest of my tuition at WWU. I also have an extra engine, transmission and transfer case for $950. Thank you for looking!”
The seller has listed this as a 1945. Someone tried to correct the seller within the question area, but it didn’t seem to change the mind of the seller. The serial number of this is #72596, making this a late 1946 CJ-2A. The seller claims the tool indents were filled in, but they should not even be there with that VIN#. However, the drain holes do appear filled in, so is possible there were indents, but then the VIN is wrong. Of course, there isn’t a column shifter and the data plate is incorrect for a 1945 There are other issues as well. Note where the emergency brake is located. Here’s a few shots of how a 1945 CJ-2A should look from the CJ-2A Page (Jim Coffed’s Jeep).
“But this is a nice 1945 Willys Overland. Has nice MB steering wheel. Some rust on underside appears to be untouched for the most part. It does have original drive train. Solid original exhaust. Has new parking brake and cable. This is an amatuer restored vehicle and is about 95% complete with slight modifications like gauge panel folds down for easy access to fusses and under dash. The heater and driver seat are not original. Engine has been rebuilt. Tank heater w/ thermostat. Front windshield is fully operational like new. Passenger side window is cracked but both pieces of glass are original. Turn signal lenses are glass not plastic. Has Brass screws in Transmission and master cylinder cover so they dont rust solid for easy removal when maintnence is needed. Back of jeep is loaded full of parts. Some of the parts included are carburetor, driveshafts, new u joints still in box. 6 volt headlights and bulbs. Master cylinder and kits wheel cylinders and kits. Spare fuel pump, regulator, and distributor. Also an assortment of spare original gauges, windshield latches and wing nuts…”
This has a 60/40 seat. And there is a parts jeep included.
