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 .
This looks pretty solid. I’m not sure why it has the V shaped metal on the rear.

This looks solid. It’s listed as a 1946 CJ-2A. It’s got different rims on the front and back. The ones on the back, m151 rims, may give it a narrower track in the rear than the front. I’m not sure what effect that might have on driving it.
“New rebuilt engine, L134 F Head (less than 20 miles on engine).
New Top, New Tires, New Battery, NewAlternator and New Fuel pump. To many new parts to list.
Transmission and Transfer case perfect running order.
No Rust and lots of extra parts.”
It’s not all original nor the ‘cleanest one’ you’ll see, but it appears solid.
“1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep
This is the classic flat fender MASH jeep that started the CJ craze. This is an original, stock, non-Frankensteined version, so it’s the cleanest one you’ll see out there. It has the original flat head 4-cylinder “Go-Devil” engine that purrs (watch the video), and it starts right up with a push button start. It has the original two stick 4 wheel drive system so you can have high and low in 2wd and 4wd. The dash is uncut with all the original gauges including the “rifle” holder. Here are the other options:
Original 3 speed stick on the floor
Full roll cage (aftermarket)
Shoulder and lap belts
BestTop convertible top with removable soft doors, no rips
Front tow bar – removable
Rear ball hitch and receiver
Removable rear seat
Drivers side wiper
Fold down front windshield
Nerf bars
New battery (6 volt system)
Several manuals
Collector plates and clean title
Stock look, cherry red, and it always gets waves and thumbs up wherever you go. Always garaged or covered. This is not your daily driver, it’s a collector vehicle that is 66 years old, serious inquiries only, sold as is, and it is what it is – – an American icon that is a lot of fun!

I love this old photo from the EC4WDA. According to the caption, this was “Dale Lenig’s Sneaky Snake off-road racing Jeep. It was powered by a Ford Cobra and it was extremely fast!!!! Line Mountain 4WD Races – EC4WDA Region B – Late ’70s to early ’80’s”

Dan spotted this updated Parkway Conversion Wagon.
“56 WILLYS WAGON. 350 AUTO TILT AIR MUSTANG 2 RACK N PINION CLEAN INTERIOR NICE BODY. RUNS GREAT 8500.00”
UPDATE: This is back on eBay
(09/02/2012) This has a replacement body. It looks like a nice rig.
“Very Nice 1947 Willys cj2a. I did a full body restoration in 2004, no corners were cut. The body is solid steel, built in the 70’s after market, The person that had it was going to build a Jeep but never got around to it, it sat in his building for over 30 years, when I bought it, it was solid, no rust and still in factory primer. I striped it down to bare metal, nothing but the best primers and sealers were used under the base coat clear coat paint. PPG.
The engine had just been rebuilt right before I bought it and it runs great, I did tear it down and put in a new rear main seal, its like new inside.
The transmission and transfer case are in perfect running order, both rear ends are in perfect running order.
The breaks are orig drum breaks and work good, it may need a new break light switch from just sitting in the garage so much.
It has brand new modern wiring with a painless wiring harness and has been converted to a 12 volt system. New gauges. New full roll cage.
It has new bucket seats with a 5 point seat belt harness on each seat. The wheels and tires are new. The steering wheel is new.
I have only put 1902 miles on this Jeep since the restoration and it has only been caught in the rain one time. No top, no wipers, only driven on sunny days.
I have put over 1000 manual labor hours into the restoration, a real labor of Love!!!!! Its like New!!!!
If you have questions you can call me, PH# 330-257-3933 I will be camping over Labor Day weekend and may be out of cell service, just leave me a message and I will call you right back…… Thanks!!!”

“1955 Willys Military M-170 Military Jeep up for auction. This Willys has gone through an extensive, nut and bolt, frame-off, total restoration.
Willys produced just over 4000 of these Jeeps for the military, making it one of the rarest Jeeps ever produced, the civilian version (the CJ-6) was offered to the public a few years later.
No expense was spared to bring this Jeep to the condition you see here today. The Jeep was taken down to the frame, the engine,transmission,axles,brakes,electrial systems and interior are NEW.
Please look at the many photos and notice the attention to detail, and the completeness of this museum quality restoration, this Jeep is NEW, NOS, COMPLETE, and BEAUTIFUL.
All M-170 components are present and correct, which is crucial, as many parts are specific to this vehicle ONLY.”
