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.
(03/21/2013) This is a solid looking CJ-2A jeep.
“1946 CJ2A willys jeep rare 3 speed collum shift, runs and drives great, solid body all around, clean title comes with a parts jeep. it can also come with a hard top and doors if interested.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(12/04/2012) Pretty pictures, but not too helpful for buyers.
“Running out of room for fun cars so this one has to go. New or rebuilt in the last year: radiator, carb, distributor, coil, plugs, wires, engine seals (except head gasket) including rear main, axle seals inner and outer, brake master and wheel cylinders, brake lines and hoses, tires and tubes, full top bow set, canvas half cab. Lots of fun, reliable, and safe with recent brake work. Rust through on passenger floor (approx 8″x1″) and tool box (entire bottom) that does not affect body integrity, otherwise just surface rust here and there”
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
(12/17/2012) How about this rebuild? This pickup started as a rusted out shell with a possum living in the engine bay (see pics)!.
“This Willys PU started as a rusty bed-less hulk from a farmers field. A possum made his home in the engine bay and was not happy when I removed his home. Over 13 years, the necessary garage was built, the Willys was disassembled, reconstructed, modified and brought back to life again. The original chassis and drive train was discarded in favor of a more modern and safer chassis in the form of a 1983 Chevy Blazer chassis with torsion bar front suspension and front disc brakes. The Blazer front differential was removed to allow more engine room, making this truck a 2WD. The Chevy rear drum brakes were retained for simplicity sake. The rear axle differential was traded out for a 1974 Chevy 12 Bolt with a 3:73:1 ratio for good performance and fuel mileage. Power steering is provided by a HydroVac booster and steering box from a Chevy AstroVan. The chassis was stretched 17″ to match the wheel base of the Willys. A 1998 Chevy 355 create engine, complete with A/C, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake manifold and Edelbrock 600 CFM carburetor and block hugger headers, was mated to a performance enhanced rebuilt 700R4 overdrive transmission and installed in the chassis. Dual 2-1/2″ exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers completed the chassis.
Two more Willys PU’s were located and purchased to be used as donor vehicles for an intact interior, complete with all trim items and additional body items as needed. . . . much more on eBay”

It’s blue, but otherwise looks solid.
“I have a 1954 m38a1 pretty much all origonal and any changes made we kept most of the removed parts . It has always been kept inside so very little rust . Dont really need to sell but just putting it out there . I am willing to entertain trades so what do you have ?”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“Original 1947 model New Mexico Willys Jeep CJ 2A . It has a 3 speed floor shift standard transmission and original flathead 4 cylinder engine. All lights work as they should as well as do the original gauges. Mileage showing 42157 however the speedometer cable was broken at the time I purchased it. Therefore I cannot know actual miles on vehicle. Color-Dark Green and not the original paint. Other non original items include, new seats, new gas tank installed approximately 10 years ago, as well as the 15 inch wagon spoke wheels. The original 6 volt battery and generator system has been updated to a 12 volt battery with an alternator. This is a major improvement for faster more reliable engine starts. The original element style oil filter has been replaced for a more efficient screw on style of filter. The jeep has been kept in my barn for the past 35 years with very little use. The jeeps starts and drives very well. Cons- The jeep does have the usual oil drips of a vehicle the era. It will also jump out of second gear as it gears down ( not in the powering up motion) which I understand in not unusual for this particular model.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $8500.
