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 lists this a a 1951, but it looks more like a VEC CJ-2A.
“This Jeep is complete and has the hard tin top. It ran a year ago when I parked it, I think maybe the carbureator needs cleaned now. 4cylinder motor and 3 speed transmission… 4×4 …Clear AZ title, ready to go! Will trade for a jet ski or a quad or ???”

Here’s a nicely restored jeep, but I see nothing to indicate this is a ’45 or a ’46. The serial number puts it as a ’47. It is actually titled as a 1942.
“This example is one of the earliest CJ-2A Jeeps built by Willys in 1945. It was restored about 10 years ago. During the restoration, it was decided that this example would be painted to resemble a pre-1945 military Jeep and painted the appropriate military color with military numbering. Also, the spare tire was moved to the rear of the vehicle (military Jeeps had rear mounted spare tires, civilian Jeeps had side mounted spare tires). It should be noted that while this vehicle is a 1945, it is titled as a 1942. The VIN number is 106459 and is located on the original VIN tag on the firewall which also designates the model as a CJ 2A. The mileage indicated is approximately 21,000, however, like most vintage cars, there is no way of guaranteeing if this is original …”
UPDATE: Sold to an excited eWillys reader!
This is the 2nd beautiful restoration from Vista I have seen. The first one is posted here. The seller is as meticulous regarding the description as he is on the restoration itself!
“Background on VEC #14,513 – During the past seven years I have restored four 1946 CJ2A jeeps to original condition. This jeep is by far the best and is the rarest of the four. It also represents my last jeep restoration project. I work at the San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park and my first restoration of a CJ2A is being used in a trained animal show there every day. I had so much fun, with this project that it got me started restoring them for fun. #14,513 is my best restoration and I expected it to be my “keeper”.
As far as I can trace the history, except for the last year before I purchased it, when it was in Oregon, this jeep is a California native (at least for the last 50 years, when the ownership trail went cold). It has no rust. In the 1950’s it was owned by Phil’s Garage in Torrance, California. It was set up to tow vehicles back to the shop. It was impeccably maintained by the garage mechanic, who I never met, but whose workmanship and attention to detail 50 years ago, I still admire today.
This jeep has matching serial numbers on the firewall, dash and left front frame horn. Behind the column shifter, is the T-90 transmission. The column shift option was dropped early in the first year of production (at around #30,000), because the GIs returning home from the war preferred the floor shifter transmission like the ones they were used to driving in their various theaters of operation. For this reason, there are very few, original equipment, column shift VECs left ….”

This looks nice. I’m not sure where West Magic Reservoir is.

Depending on the work needed, this looks like it’s not a bad price.

This looks like a nice truck.

I don’t see too many DJ-3As that still have their tops. Someone converted this to 4wd.
“Unique Willys Jeep with a fiberglass roof and steel doors and sides. This jeep is in good shape for the age. Willys flathead 4 cylinder runs fine, transmission and 4 wheel drive work fine.

There is a little body work, but might not be too bad.
