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.
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 $1500
“1945 Willys Jeep- It has a 4 cylinder engine which turns over, but it has an electrical problem somewhere so it is not starting. It has a rebuilt starter. It also has a tow bar, a roll bar, and dualmatic locking hubs. Needs brake job. I have the pink slip and it’s registered as a non-op. We have too many projects and need to sell this one.”
DAVE TO ANSWER YOUR ? THIS APPEARS TO BE A SLAT GRILL
I also just noticed there is not a gas filler hole on this jeep. All CJ-2As were produced with a gas inlet. The CJ-2s did not have a gas inlet, at least according to the pics I see.
I’ve emailed the seller to find out if the hood is stamped with Jeep or Willys or nothing. If it’s JEEP, then it could be a CJ-2 rather than a 2A. Extremely rare.
if it’s a cj-2 it certainly is rare from what i’ve read only around 40 were ever made and only around 12 are known to exist. don’t know if this is true or not though.
Frederic Coldwell has determined there were 17 pilot CJ-2s and 15 production CJ-2s. There may have been another 8 CJ-2s, but whether they were pilot or production version is less clear. That adds up to the 40 CJ-2s you mentioned above. According to the same author, best as I can tell, he only notes 2 known CJ-2s that exist (1 pilot and 1 preproduction CJ-2) and that one more might exist. Finally, there are several prototypes prior to the CJ-2, a CJ-1, a couple MLWs, and a couple MB agrijeeps.
I received an email from the seller indicating the hood has no stamp. That’s interesting in that it means it is not a CJ-2A willys hood. Of course, this could be a hood that’s not original, but if it is original, then it further suggests this is not a standard CJ-2A.
did anyone ask the guy if there are any frame of tub tags? that would be a quick identifier
So then what is it?
hahahaha .. guess I should have mentioned it .. it’s an MB. It’s still a decent price for an MB in california.

I personally looked at this MB. It is in fact a MB as I checked the tag on the front frame horn. The tailgate was a home done thing. Let me know if someone needs something clarified as I live local to this willys.
Hi Lee,
Thanks for that info!
