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 dropped to $3100
(08/09/2010) Neither Brett nor I can figure out what those handles on the hood do. This looks very restorable.

It’s not a perfect restoration, but appears solid.

“For Sale or Possible Trade:
This is a 1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep. I’ve been renovating it for about 6 years now. It has a new metal body tub and various other new body parts. I have invested about $9500 in parts, paint, rhino lining, and labor but would take any reasonable offer. Ideally, I would like to work out a trade plus cash. I need a small cargo/work van. An Astro cargo van (like an ex-utility van) would be perfect. An AWD or 4×4 van would be even better but are hard to come by. It needs to be interstate worthy because I will be putting lots of miles on it. Age and mileage don’t matter as long has it still has a lot of life left in it. Small, step vans like the old Chevy P-10 would work too if road worthy. I would also consider some small trucks. The vehicle needs to ultimately take me to Montana.
The 46 Willys is a low geared, 4×4, original flat head 4 banger, stick shift 3 speed. It is a 12v and has always been pretty much mechanically sound. Top speed is 50-55mph. It can climb paved steep inclines in third gear with no problem and can get about anywhere on other terrain. It is perfect for the farm or ranch and does well on the state highways, back country roads, hunting trails, and open fields. It is too slow for the interstate. Though it is very nice, I wanted to be able to drive it on the road so I installed an additional brake light and turn signals ( not standard for the 46). I was going to have a soft half cab made for it, but didn’t have the chance. If I wasn’t so busy I would never let it go. I would say that it is 90 percent complete. No heaters that year and no windshield wiper/s, but can be purchased. Parts are pretty easily found on the internet.. Like to see a jeep enthusiast, mechanically minded person get this little Willys. I could have saved a wad if I could’ve done some of the work myself. It gets attention no matter where you go.
