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: Price updated to $7900

“Hate to stop on this project, but there are other priorities in life demanding more right now so this needs to go. Please look over the spec sheet and let me know if there are any questions.

(06/21/2018) Apparently, this was a mail jeep. It’s got a top that fits it (CJ-6 top perhaps?). It runs, it drives, and is a bit different.
“1946 Willys cj2a has had lots of new parts on it over the past couple years new brakes rebuilt carburetor rebuilt generator(still on 6 volts), new tires inner tubes and powder coated wheels I know I’m going to forget alot of stuff. The only issues that I had with it are that it leaks and burns oil. So no long distance trips with it. It does run it does Drive and the 4 wheel drive works. High and low. I know I’ve spent more than $2,000 in Parts on it, for instance the wheels and tires alone where a thousand plus almost $800 for the brake system. master cylinder and all, just to name a few. It’s not pretty but it works. I’m looking to get $3,500 for it CASH only. Price is negotiable slightly. Thanks and there’s one thing I forgot to mention it used to be a mail truck back in the day and I do have the steel top that was originally on it. That’s why the body is extended about 12 inches in the back.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000.

“I am selling my 1951 willys project. It does not run or drive. It is a project and needs finishing. It started out life as a stock 51 and since has undergone some transformation. The frame has been lengthened 36 inches and boxed front to back. I built the entire tub from 1/8 inch plate steel. 3 inches wider than stock It has Dana 44 front and rear with 4.56 gear ratio and lockers front and rear. Axles were built and have not even had oil put in them. Front diff has passenger side drop. Leaf springs are brand new 2.5 inch wrangler soft ride lift springs. All hangers and shackles are brand new. Has 4 brand new shocks not mounted yet.
Gm 4.3 throttle body not wired yet, but has ecm and all wiring. It has a turbo 350 in it now but was just put in to get engine placed. It has 2 sets of nice adjustable bucket seats out of 2 mini coopers and a small bench seat out of a geo tracker in the rear. Brand new drilled and slotted brake rotors. Needs calipers, drive shafts, radiator, etc. I started to build this jeep so my whole family would fit, but all the kids decided they wanted four wheelers instead. Now I don’t have time to finish it. It is a really cool piece but it just needs the right guy/girl to give it the finish they want. Come take a look, I have lots of time, money and energy into this jeep. My loss is your gain.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
UPDATE: Still Available. There’s another example of the extended rear. See this post from 2014.

Ex hunting or tour jeep? Could make an amusing rebuild.
“Been sitting in shed for years…it’s all there. No title. Motor does turn over”
This has the extended rear. Maybe a motor pool modification? Some of the pics show it without the body and some show it with the body.

This video of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Gen. Omar N. Bradley, Gen. George S. Patton, and others, includes a five star jeep with a rear extension and other mods. There’s also some graphic and grim footage as the men explore a former camp. This video was shared on Facebook a few days ago on the G503 page.
At the 18 second mark is a photo of the fronts of several jeeps, underscoring that multiple jeeps had been modified. At the 2:28 mark is a front look at two jeeps. For the next twenty seconds the video shows the jeeps driving away.
