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 .
The seller will take less it sounds like. The motor isn’t stock.
“I have a 1940’s WWII era Willy’s Jeep that I got with the intentions of restoring but I do not have the time nor money to take on a project like this right now. Send me an email or give me a call (805) 905-1299 if you want to know more or would like to come take a look at it. Make me an offer and it could be yours. Thanks.”

This project includes an overdrive, so this might become a good deal.

(01/12/2010) I’m guessing this has some cammo paint. It appears solid from what I can see.
“For sale is my 46 willys CJ2A Jeep Has a 230 V6 with headers and a cam Full Cage and tons of extra parts I have owned this Jeep since I was 18 but its time for something new. May trade for 4×4 chevt truck”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
For some odd reason, it appears a bear mistook the top jeep for a salmon and bit a huge chunk out of the passenger side of the jeep?!? The seller of this operates a jeep salvage yard in Kingston, NY. The bottom jeep looks in decent, stock shape.
“Asking$2500.00 for the pair”
It appears someone had some M-38 parts they added to make this more M-38like.
“1948 CJ2A. Runs great. Mechanically sound. Garaged. Restored body. Engine original. Mileage unknown. No top.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4900
(12/25/09) I’m not sure why someone would use a GPW frame on a build like this?

UPDATE: As noted in the article below, these were developed by O. E. Szekely & Associates, who also created the modified CJ-3A for the Navy. The APU pictured in color below is from the Miramar Marine Corps Air Museum in San Diego.
I keep thinking that I’ve seen all the different jeeps that were ever built. But nope, here’s another one I’ve not seen before, discussed on this Argentinian website. Both the pics below and the video are from that website. It’s really cool!
