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 .
Looks like a pretty good price.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was for trade.
This seller is looking to trade for a truck.
“I have a 1946 Jeep Willys cj2a im looking at trading for a 71 chevy shortbox pickup. I would prefer a 4×4 but a 2×4 might be alright too if its in good shape. Engine doesnt really matter neither does transmission really. It should run or be close it but i wont turn down a good project if its in good enough condition. My jeep willys is a 46 Cj2a and is complete minus a gas tank and ignition. Clear title in hand yours should be too. It comes with a brand new tailgate, windshield frame, seats and all rubber seals. The jeep is taken a part right now but sits as you see it in the picture. I picked it up a few years back and just havent had the time to get into it yet.
Tires hold air just fine its been garaged for the past 5 years so shes ready to be restored to your liking. It still has the original hurricane flat 4 engine too which turns over smoothly. All new brakes on it too. wired 12v instead of 6v now.
Im located in rapid city. I can trailer the Willys to you within reasonable distance for milage if you dont live in the area. I may take cash for the Willys too if your interested but dont have a nice shortbox for me. Shoot me an email and we can go from there.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
To register in Cali, it will cost an extra $700, but it sure looks like a good price at $2000.

As the eWillys Senior Envoy to Colombia, Sebastian continues to bring back some great pics and information. This time he’s posted them at the Flat Fender Club of Butler’s website. Below are a few of them. Thanks Sebastian!
Here’s a kid’s book called Willy: The Little Jeep Who Wanted to Be a Fire Truck. I haven’t read it yet, but it’s supposed to be based loosely on a real event and a real 1947 CJ-2A. The book has its own website.
From Amazon.com, “Join Willy as his dream of becoming a fire truck takes some surprising twists and turns. Travel with him on an adventure that brings him from the sidelines to center stage and safely back home again.
Written originally as a Christmas present for a friend, WILLY has already captivated children of all ages. As one reviewer noted, “The book is written for a child, but has so much meaning for adults as well. I don’t mind admitting that a tear of joy rolled down my ‘headlight’ too!” Others have described Willy as “lovable,” “endearing,” and “plain ol’ fun.”
The story, penned by volunteer firefighter Don Estes, is based on actual events that happened in Clinton Corners, New York and Clinton, Connecticut.”

UPDATE: Was $3400. **SOLD**
Here’s a highly modded flattie.
“1948 4X4 Willys Jeep, 283 Chevy engine, 4 speed transmission, front disc brakes, air compressor, back seat, 8000 lb winch on front, 33″ swamper tires that go great in the sand, dana locker rear end. This jeep has been in the woods and the beach. It goes anywhere you take it. Asking $3400 obo.”
After seeing this ad multiple times, it got to me. The seller claims in each ad that the photo below was taken during the Prohibition era.
I mean, c’mon, how difficult is it to look up Prohibition (1919 -1933) and look up when jeeps were built (nothing before 1940). I mean, am I asking so much?
Now here’s a more complete version of the picture. Note the jeep is atop wood slats which are atop beer bottles.
Ok, here’s the best one I found. I thought I had posted it previously.
and a pic of the Andrew sisters .. is that them? Could be.
UPDATE: The seller has dropped the price to $2000 and is throwing in a beat up 1952 M-38. I’d say this is a good price.
(12/27/09) The seller notes that this would not make a good original restoration projection.
“I have a 1952 M38 for sale along with a 1955 M170. The M38 is still 24 volt and would make a great restoration project, it does not run. The M170 has been converted to 12 volt and has aftermarket seat frames, it would also make a great project. The M170 was a military ambulance when it was in service. Both are classic vehicles and would be great for trail jeeps or collectibles. I priced them together and cheap because i need to get rid of both of them. All i am asking is to get my money back out of them. Please call or text 334-750-1062 and ask for Mac. I am 25-30 miles outside of columbus. Please no emails. Thanks for looking!”
