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 .
Pete, who operates the OldWillysForum, contacted me the other day to let me know he lives just down the road from me near Hailey, Idaho. When not working on cars, Pete designs beautiful homes. Check them out at andersonarc.com!
Pete and his kids have been doing some work on a wagon that they recently made road worthy. He shared a video with me that you can view below. It’s always great to see a wagon on the trail, but the best part of the video are the short, funny comments made by his son.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Were $1850.
The ’47 runs and drives. Looks like a good price for both.
“I have a pair of Willys Overland 4×4 trucks. One is a 1947 and one is a 1948. They are both complete and the 1947 is in running condition and drivable. Make me an offer!!!”
Check out the hubcaps. The hard top might be newer, but I couldn’t say for sure. This might be a good, find.
“1961 jeep with plow power angle plow truck works good needs tune up and brakes i have all new parts for it $2800. or b/o call 570-851-3496”

UPDATE: Still Available
(01/13/2010) This ran before they bought it ….
“1958 FC170, 6 cyl. (loose but not currently running), 9 ft box (fair condition / patches of rust on the box floor), the rest of the body is pretty solid and complete with original glass. The truck is rolling, we haven’t had the time to dig into it much with our willy truck projects. The motor was running the year before we bought it, the drivetrain is all moving freely and looks quite serviceable. We have the title and if it helps can provide the ID#. We can take any additional photo’s you might like of the jeep and happy to answer any questions. From what I understand there were only 15,000 of these made during the production run, there’s still a lot of truck left in this one for someone looking for a good project.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
This has a variety of updates.
“46 Willies Jeep, Steel Body, 225 Buick V-6, Frame is a 76 Jeep Box Frame, Dana 44 axels’ Front & Rear W/lockers, 3:73 gear Ratio, 4 speed transmission, T-18 Transfer Case, 4 wheel Disc Brakes, Power Steering, Electric Wipers. $5500.00 or best reasonable offer.”
This has some serious rust. However, I think I see some tool indents, which suggests a VEC.
“1946 Willy’s. Has rust in tub and floor. No engine, but have most components, transmission, transfer case, starter, carburator, altenator, air cleaner, etc… Tow bar and tail gate in good condition. Dog house has been removed, but is all there. $500 OBO. Please leave a voice mail at 502.419.3772. No Title”

This looks to have a solid Beck Hardtop. This might not be a bad price.
“—FUN VEHICAL,—GREAT FOR CLUB HOUSE, FARM, TIMBER OR ROAD. 4 CYLINDER ENGINE, 4X4 WITH 3 SPEED TRANS & LOW LOCK, NEW BRAKES, FLUIDS ALL SERVICED. STARTS & RUNS GREAT NEEDS NEW HOME. CALL MARK 618-444-7697 IF NO ANSWER LEAVE MESSAGE.”

UPDATE: This appears to have been sold … was listed at $4500
This has gone through a recent restoration.
“1946 CJ2A Runs good 32″ super swampers 134l head flat head 4 cycliner. Been converted to 12 volt system. Stripped the frame and redid 2 years ago. All new steering and brakes. Didnt make it too pretty to use!!THEY DONT MAKE EM LIKE THIS ANYMORE!! Possible CJ5 or CJ7 trades.”
This looks to be a good CJ-2A. I don’t think the pics do it justice.
“1948 Willys CJ2A. Mechanically you will not find a better running cj2a in the area. It has been gone over mechanically from top to bottom. Everything as far as the drive train goes is in excellent working order. All parts that have been replaced have been kept and I have a sizeable quantity of new after market parts that will go with the vehicle, to include a spare transmission still in box. I have some body parts and sheet metal to replace any rusted areas on the tub etc.
There is rust on floor boards and in spots on wheel wells but as I said, I have purchased sheet metal parts to replace these areas. I’ll save that step for whoever buys my 2a. My sons and I have a great time driving this vehicle around chapel hill. We had a great “sledding safari” last winter. All mechanicals work smoothly on this jeep. It is a great piece of working history and I would love to send it to a good home. Please call 919-259-8447 if interested. Asking 5000 or best offer.”
