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

A few years ago, Hemmings ran a post about an article they produced the CJ-4. In the article, they discuss how the X-151 became the prototype CJ-4, the only one of it’s class made. It was later sold to an employee, who later resold it to someone who stored it in a garage for years.
You can read all about it a Hemmings blog
This weekend I spent some time messing with my engine. One of the concerns I have had was that the whitish smoke that still slips out of the intake manifold hasn’t gone away. I had hoped that was simply the rings not sealing, but I don’t believe it is anymore.
While checking the engine closely on Saturday, I discovered that there was some whitish, oily residue on the roof of the oil breather, which suggests coolant in the oil. My radiator level was also a little low. Between that, the smoke, and the fact that it runs a little rough when under pressure, I now believe that somewhere on my left bank there is a crack. I suspect it’s the REAL reason the seller of my engine stopped using it.
Fortunately, I have an extra 3.8L block that appears in good shape (I’m already using the heads and crankshaft). I would have used that block initially, except that it’s bored .030, while my Hypereutectic pistons are made for a stock bore. So, I guess I’ll go back to .030 bore and the pistons that came with that block.
So, I’m going to get my block dipped and cleaned, pull the engine, rip it apart, and put everything back together. It sounds like some good weekend fun …. I’m might redo the radiator setup while I’m at it — I have a new idea for that.
Randy passed on this slide show to me. There are a few jeeps, but mostly airplanes. I thought the shots were amazing.
Something seems a little strange about the windshield.

(06/3/09) Looks like a parts jeep to me.
“I am selling this 1946 Jeep Willys CJ2A. I bought it as part of a package and my wife says it needs to go. It is not running, but the engine turns free and I just had the starter rebuilt. The only thing it’s missing is the Carb to get running again. The body will need some repairs, but I’ve been told that worse have been rebuilt. I have the tag that goes with it, along with a multitude of other parts. Just let me know what you need and I’ll include them. Thanks. ”
