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: **SOLD** Was $3500.
It’s a package price, but not much of a deal.
“I HAVE 2 JEEP WILLYS FOR SAY THE WHITE ONE IS A 1948 JEEP WILLY MILITARY EDITION WITH TITLE AND THE WRENCH ON IT IS WORTH $1,000 MINIMUM!… AND THE GREEN ONE IS A 1958 JEEP WILLY WITH NO TITLE.

THIS IS A STEAL FOR THE DEAL!”
Here’s a column shift chassis. I suspect it may have been a ’46 rather than a ’48.
“1948 willis J2A, This was a 3 speed column shift, With power take off to the rear. It has a Hyd. pump and front lift. Its a 3 speed 4 wheel drive with Hi and Low drive. The unit was running when the body was removed and built into a Roadster drag car,? The chassis is complete, it all turns, rolls, levers shift. I do have a new willis service manual to go with it. The guy I bought it from assured me it was running and working when His son and friends decided to build a hot rod out of the body. I have bought from Lenny before and never had a problem. This is a very rare piece. They were built to farm with after the war. Just got too many projects”

UPDATE: Was $1000. **SOLD**
If parted out, this might indeed be worth a small fortune if you think around $1000 is a small fortune.
“for the people who collect these ive been told that if i parted it out it would be worth a small fortune, but i want to sell the whole thing quickly so lets deal…..it ran and drove to where it was parked sat a few years brake pedle goes to floor has twin stick t/case 4 litre straight 6 inline engine some spare parts in back picture makes it look good but it does have rust. all parts are there except door glass. neat old rig a lot of people get it confused with a land rover but it is a nissan patrol. its about the size of a CJ 5 but a little wider so its not tippy, they were used by militaries all around the world until fairly recently they were still made. there is a title for this. i really wish i could keep this but you can see the willys in the background of one picture and that is the project im working on now.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
Looks like looks like it has been lifted a bit.
“1946 willys jeep. No title decent shape good tires I use it for the hunting camp but want a boat now. original flat head 4 cylinder 4×4”
The pictures don’t suggest a “super straight” body, rather they suggest to me some dents and rust.

This looks in pretty good shape to me.
“This tub is off a 46 MB. It has cancer in the usual places, but is not tweaked and is in fairly decent shape. It’s been blasted so it’s ready to work on. You can come by & check it out in person at Army Surplus #4, 312 S. Dishman Rd. or call Dave, shop 509-928-4460, or cell 509-991-4573.”

This has a CJ-2A L Head engine.
“1954 Hobart G200 D/C welder on trailer. Uses a CJ2A four cylinder Jeep engine. There is also a 120 volt outlet on the machine for running your power tools. The machine was just restored.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $24,900
That is one of the cleanest heads I’ve ever seen in a jeep.
“This is a stunning example of a1951 “Willys-Jeepster”. Almost impossible to find with only 19,131 produced from 1948-1951 and ONLY 5,845 from 1950-1951. The Jeepster is a two-wheel-drive convertible designed by Brooks Stevens. Stevens and Willys knew that returning World War II GIs would scoop up these fun-loving drop-tops as soon as they rolled off the assembly line, they are perhaps one of the most interesting vehicles in the storied off-road maker’s past: a sporty automobile rather than an off-road vehicle, this open-bodied car very rare and highly collectable, also it has secured a spot in history as the last true phaeton offered by a major domestic automaker. This Jeepster has a very recent extensive restoration only about 500 miles. The (new)paint and body are in excellent shape with proper lines and gaps. New chrome, new wiring, new rubber, new glass you get the idea. Only 84,954 original miles. Powered by the original Lighting flathead 6 cylinder which is a cast-iron 148.5-cu.in. block featuring a 3- x 3.50-inch bore and stroke, four mains and solid lifters, all working together to develop 72hp at 4,000 rpm with 6.42:1 compression(ONLY AVAILABLE IN THE 1951). Driven by its original 3-speed manual transmission with OVERDRIVE, ZERO RUST ZERO RUST REPAIR, up graded to a 12 volt system, period correct bias belted 3 inch White walls, original Willys hub caps and trim rings, original Willys steering wheel and factory gauges,( oil, temp. and water replaced with upgraded aftermarket gauges), new interior, original(Red) interior is in excellent condition and is included with the sale, new top, original side windows, rear steps, lots of restoration receipts, even touch up-paint. This super-cool ride will go 60-70 miles an hour on the freeway all day long. Very dependable, total blast to drive. Now on display at the home of “over the top cars””
