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 $7000
It’s not a perfect restoration, but appears solid.
“

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200.
That body sure has some waves to it. I’m not sure if that is bondo or dents.
“Runs good- lots of extra parts- no title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3100
(03/23/2010) It should run once the carb is cleaned.
“This is an incredable find! This FC150 is a wide track 79″ wheelbase with all the hard to find parts…gas tank, tail gate, windshield, original seats, exterior cab lights. Has a new battery. The engine is a 1963 Ford 170 straight 6 and turns over freely. Once the carburator is cleaned, it should fire right up. ”
UPDATE: Was $1000. **SOLD**
This body appears in very good condition.

This seller wants to make a deal.
“I would like to trade my 4×4 ATV’s for a Jeep Wrangler, CJ or Willys in good condition. Each of the ATV’s have working wenches and are 4 wheel drives.

(05/02/2010) Note the engine is sold separately.

(09/02/2010) It looks like there’s been some body work done already.
“1946 willy’s jeep cj2a!!! AMAZINGLY strong Go DeViL engine!!! Original! Runs and can be driven as is!!! Or restore this wonderful piece of american history to original!! (this was the first jeep marketed to Civilians after WWII!!) in amazing shape for its age!!! We had planned on restoring to original but due to some unexpected medical bills we now forced to sell!”
UPDATE: Was $3750. **SOLD**
This was listed almost 2 years ago at $5000. It is now at $3750. The body has been replaced with a fabricated body, so I’m not sure how accurate the body is.
“Offered is my 1947 Willys CJ2A Project.
This Jeep runs and drives well. It has had the following work done to it:
New Wiring throughout
New Fuel Tank
Differentials and drive train rebuilt
New Brakes/Brake lines/Brake System
New Exhaust System
New Fuel Pump
Carburetor rebuilt
New Shock Absorbers
5 New Tires
Turn Signals Added
The Engine is fresh original type replacement Ford GPW 4 cylinder that runs strong with excellent compression..
This Willys has a CJ3A Windshield simply for the extra height (for tall people)
The original body was replaced in the 1960’s with one fabricated from 1/8th ” Steel. No rust through on this Jeep body-Its not the thin sheet metal found on originals, yet it looks good and is very heavy duty.
Also included in sale price is :
1: USGI M100 Jeep Trailor project. I believe that I have title and license documents for the trailer
2. A case of original oil bathe Oil filters
3. Misc. Small parts original and replacement

Claus reports that he and some friends enjoyed a short vacation recently and has some pics to share with us!
Claus writes, “We have finally done a short weekend trip up the West Coast of SA. Nothing hectic just 6 jeeps and 3 trailers going on a stroll. The route all together was about 220km, but it was just fun enjoy the ride and in the evening sitting around a camp fire and enjoying all jeep talk. Just therapeutic for the owners”
I asked Claus about the unusual stonework for the fireplace. He informed me that, “The fireplace is built like that so it allows many people to “braai”. In the centre you make the big fire and then people can sit around it and scrape the hot coals from the centre out to the sides where you can braai or bbq your meat. So you always have a big fire in the middle so it continuously burns and provides hot coals. They don’t all look like that here. The camp site serves 6 tents so you can just all gather around one fireplace and be social.” Learn about Braai here.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4250.
There are a variety of updates to this.
“This is a super Custom Willys 1946 Jeep. Ford Cobra motor under the hood! Military style fold down windshield. Decent top. Minor rust, Plenty of dirt, Does not currently run. Tranny seal and carb issues. Most everything is there! Serious fun. Also, advertised on Ebay with lots of pics!!!”
