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 $3300.
I’m not sure if this runs or not?
“
Surfers, Four Wheelers, Classic Car enthusiasts, here’s one for all of you. It’s a stock 6 cylinder, 4×4. I will either go for cash or trade for a Honda CFR250X motorcycle.”
It looks pretty stock and unmolested. I can’t tell if there is rust around the step or not.
“1949 Wills Jeep. Running ready to go. It has a 2.5 Chevy engine in it with a four barrel carb and header. The cool thing is it could have a small block chevy bolted right in. Needs to have the brakes bled then it could be driven home. I do have some 35 inch tires for it, but they would be extra. The hard top does have doors they just are not on it .”
The paint job appears unusual, but the drive train has been rebuilt.
“Rust free, runs great! 32,000 actual miles on vehicle however, motor transmission and transfer case completely rebuilt has approx. 500 miles. 8,000 lb. pto winch, still 24 volt ignition (water proof).

UPDATE: Price dropped to $2200
For those that don’t like to do body work, this might make a good restoration option.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600
The seller promises that when they bought it, they were told it ran …..
“Im selling my winter project. Its a 1955 Willys Pickup with 4×4. It has a twin stick transfer case to control front and rear axles independently. I have a clear title for the Willys. It does turn over and I was told it ran when I bought it in December but I have a lot of work right now and can’t let this sit around gathering dust. The gas tank needs repaired/ replaced and otherwise it should be a good runner. All glass is good, windows even roll up and down. Does have rust, came from North Carolina.”
Here’s a good old truck.
“This is a rare vehicle 1963 willys with Tornado 230 cubic inch 6 Cyl. 4 wheel drive runs great this is a serious truck! Call Kenny 631-433-3593”

Ted contacted me to let me know he has decided to sell Eleanor, his nice, stock, 1947 CJ-2A.
Ted writes, “ I am selling Eleanor, a Late 1947 CJ-2A. #148236. She is a daily driver and runs good. 134 engine, T-90 tranny, 18 transfer, 16’x4.5 rims, with new NDT tires & tubes.

Warn overdrive (not in), Harrison heater & driver side heater(not in). I put a new heater in 2 years ago before I bought the harrison. New carb kit was put in 2 years ago, and she will start in -15 degree ever time. Tiger top is 2 years old. Has a nice roll bar in her, was going to take it out just never got to it. Has a 3A windshield on her now but have a 2A windshield for her also. Before I bought her, someone put in a bucket seat and cut holes (4’x5″) in the back fender wells for the buckets to fit, wouldn’t take much to fix. I have both 2A seat frames in nice shape with new seat cover, seat pans, foam & hardware, still in the box, also 47 back seat with original cover and springs (no rips or holes). I also have license plate brkt, leather shift boots,hood block and other parts that where made by members here on the form. There is other thing also that I have bought, or put on, just can’t think of it right now. The tool box floor is rusted out, but the pass, floor is good to go. I no for a fax, had kids jumping in it for 2 years. Factory color was mich yellow but was primer grey when I bought her. I was going to do a ground up restore but things have change and would like her to go to a good home.”
I’d like to see more pics of this. It looks good.

Here’s a stock CJ-2A that sold this afternoon.
“Nice original, unmolested 1946 Willys CJ-2A Jeep. This Jeep was owned by a local service station for many, many years, and spent much of its life stored inside. When the owner died, a co-worker and I purchased it and stored it in his garage. He began replacing some of the safety items like brakes and fuel tank, but lost his garage space to his wifes car. I bought him out, and had planned to finish the couple items but do not have time. The engine was running before the old rusty fuel tank was removed. It turns over with good compression, and has spark. The new fuel tank needs to be installed, and a new fuel line run. He also did some work to the brakes, but the lines are not finished (I think he replaced all the shoes and cylinders),. There is also some wiring that need to be replaced (cloth covering rotted)….”
