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 $1350
(07/06/2010) It might be worth a closer look if you are near Burbank.
“I have had this Willys Jeep since 1998. Drove it home and it got disassembled. It’s been a project ever since. THIS IS A PROJECT
I would strongly discourage the average person; you need to be mechanically inclined to have fun with it. *** I have a trailer and can provide delivery *** ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.
(05/08/2012) It doesn’t run. The top is not included.
“Willys 1946 CJ2A Very solid Jeep, body and floors in very good condition, this is not a beat up rust bucket. This Jeep was parked inside a hanger and used at a private airstrip in Calpine CA, where it has been for 51 years. Front end has been rebuilt, new Warn hubs and aftermarket bell crank. At some point it had a V-6 Buick 225 engine installed, the rest of the Jeep is all stock. The Jeep has not run for about 12 years but was running when parked. Tires are still in great shape. Have original CA pink slip. Jeep has original black and yellow plates. Nice Jeep to restore for the price. With a new battery and a few hours of work you could have it back on the road.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
“48 Willys, Body Excellent, Buick V-6 replaced original Engine in the late 60’s. Chev steering with frame horn mods. Otherwise it’s all original Jeep/Willys. No seats. I have 1 original wheel and extra (or original) front axle. Bring you own wheels and tires. Make Offer.”
Glenn forwarded a couple pages of this old catalog for hi-performance parts that included a few for the jeep. He sent these to me after a short discussion with Scott, who races using F-head and L-head motors (more on that to come).
According to Scott, “I have bored them up to .092 oversized and I have had about 6 different cams made by crane cams. The motor I have had the best luck with so far is .060 over with dome style pistons. It has 1.7 ratio roller rockers. It is a F head. I cut the side of the head open and welded the water jackets and built an intake manifold that is 8″ high. With a 500 cfm holley ive been able to get 7000 rpm out of it.”
Scott’s experimentation has been done simultaneous to Sam at Flatfender Willys, who experimented, just for fun, with hi-po parts in a flat head with modern honda fuel injection. Sam did a few other things to the engine, but I don’t precisely remember what. Sam and a friend drove the motor hard, before it finally gave out, though a couple transfer cases and a drive line gave out before the motor did.
Here are the two pages from Glenn.
Robin shared this humorous advertisement. The seller either carefully, or not, decided on a peculiar abbreviation for the word ‘assembly’.

Here is a snapshot of it.
Buz spotted this Mahindra at the team-bhp website.
He notes, “The post below this one mentions “One will find hoards of such jeep rotting” in India. I guess they aren’t going to the scrap mill like over here.”
The front cowl is so crushed that at first I thought I was looking at a Bantam prototype. You can see the cowl damage in the last pic.

This runs and drives, but still needs some work.
“I have a 1947 willys unfinished project, runs and drives. I have a good title. It has CJ-5 running gear, 304 amc V-8. low range kit in the transfer case. 456 gears front and back. rear lock right, limited slip in front, t18 four speed, 33 in mud grappler tires, body is in good condition, interior work needs to be finished, front wench will not be sold with it. Its a project, its drivable but not complete. The reason im selling is because i have to many projects going on.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800
This lokos in good shape.
“This truck runs great and is ready for mud or sunday driving. No time to play with it anymore. needs a new garage. its lifted and has oversized tires”
I can’t tell if this is a CJ-2A body that has had the drain holes filled and the tailgate covered up or a ww2 body with a filler inlet added.
“Very good condition”
