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 body has been lengthened. Not sure how much value is here. Thanks to TJ for sharing.

“I’m parting out my project. I lengthened the tub about 3″ at the door frame. This tub is actually kinda rare. It’s civilian but has the shovel and axe dents in the drivers side and a few other unique things. I have other parts on it for sale also. Not a lot of original parts though.”
Tom shared this one. It appears to be in excellent shape, but isn’t quite “100%” original. It also does not have a military tub as noted by the seller.

“Willys Jeep. 100 percent original. Column shift. Full floating military rear end. Solid wheels. Military tub.”
This militarized column-shift VEC CJ-2A looks in good shape. This might not take much to demilitarize this one.

“Very early 1946 Willy’s CJ 2A. Runs and drives excellent! Good straight original condition. Early column shift. Older restoration. Always kept indoors. Not torn up or neglected. Original working gauges. All ID tags in place. Has been in family collection for 30 years. $12,500, cash only.”
This looks like a nicely restored VEC.

“1946 CJ-2A VEC (Very Early Civilian). This Jeep is an early production of the CJ-2A with a column shift transmission. I am the 3rd owner and have documentation from the original family including pictures and the history. It was purchased by a family friend who had it restored. The Jeep includes many accessories including an extended bed and an original style half cab top. I am currently in the process of installing a new radiator, new transmission synchronizers and some steering components. If you want it before I get that work done, we can negotiate a lower price.”
This undated, 32-page introduction to the Universal ‘Jeep’ is a 8.5″ x 11″ booklet I didn’t have and can’t remember seeing previously. I managed to buy it off ebay for $7. Now, that’s a score!
Note that the final photo shows an early dash, along with JEEP illustrated on the windshield rather than WILLYS.
