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 .
Not sure how much value is here, but one of them runs.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
Needs a little work, but unclear what. Looks solid.
“1948 Willys Jeep. This jeep has been in my family for over 30 years and used on many hunting trips and rides in the country until she just got tired. She sat for approx 8 years before I got her and decided to make a project of fixing her up. Been doing this for the last 2 years and just ready to move on so she needs a new owner. She is about 85% complete and now needs somebody who can fine tune and finish her off. List of work done below.

“This jeep was my project in high school about 5 years ago. It’s been kept in the garage since then. Starts and runs like a champ, the engine (original 4 cylinder L-head) was rebuilt just before I got it, so very low hours. We had the transmission rebuilt, shifts like the day it was built. Body and paint (’46 Harvest Tan scheme even though this is a ’47 by serial number) is in excellent condition, interior protected with color matched bed liner. Hat channels are like new, no rust.

Rick shared this one. Seller notes the ‘many military accessories, but I don’t see any?

“1948 Jeep CJ with many military accessories. Motor stuck and requires complete restoration. Many parts. Bill of sale only. No trades and no texts. Phone calls only. $1000 OBO.”
This may have updated axles, but the frame looks to be 2A based on the transfercase crossmember bracket. I suspect only the title is a 1965 CJ-3B.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/02/2018) Has some interesting hubs (Sears-branded Dualmatics?). Might be a VEC. Just say NO to NADA vis-a-vis Willys.

“I am selling a 1946 Jeep Willys CJ2A that we’ve owned for 20 years. It is in really good condition for its age with some normal rust under the floorboards which have been repaired. It has a 4 cylinder Willys engine which runs really good. The clutch works great and the 3 speed transmission and transfer case shifts very well. The brakes work as they should. There is some play in the steering wheel. The steering wheel itself is not original as it was replaced by my husband so he could fit in the driver seat! Electrical was converted to 12 volts. The tires are like new and the seats were reupholstered and have no tears in them. It comes with a 6000# Ramsey electric winch with a wired remote control. It also has a tow bar which is included.
Some issues: there is a small oil leak at the rear differential bearing shaft, the passenger side windshield is cracked, the odometer and the fuel gauge are not working and there are some minor electrical issues with the lights.
If you are familiar with the 1946 Willys, you know that it is a good investment if you decide to have it fully restored. For information, the NADAguides list it at $7,450 for Low Retail, $19,100 for Average Retail and $33,400 for High Retail.
I am asking $7,950.00 or best offer. CASH only. Serious inquiries only please.”
The front frame raises have some patches. Body appears solid. The windshield doesn’t seem to have a channel across it’s top to secure a soft top.

“46 Army jeep.Runs and drives.Extra motors etc.”
Could use some work.

“Im selling my CJ-2A. It’s been restored to a working condition but has its dings and scrapes. Engine, transmission, transfer case and axles have all been 100% rebuilt and restored. Driveshafts too. Engine, transmission, and case are original.
Axle have been updated from a newer cj and the front is disc brake with premium lockouts.
Comes with near mint condition soft top, reupholstered seats, and working powered windshield wiper.
Custom front and rear bumper with 2″ receiver.
Tires are new and are 12 ply, super durable.
Basically, needs some body work and it’d be 100% restored. Did I mention that it runs and drives.
Would consider trade for side-by-sides or UTVs.”
Not sure there is much value here.

“This Jeep is in excellent condition. It runs and drives how a new Jeep in 1948 would. It has had a frame off restoration before 2014. The drive line was rebuilt, from carb to clutch, in September of 2015 totaling nearly $7000. Documents can be provided for the driveline work. All the gauges work, and are as accurate as they would have been in ’48.
This is a true CJ2A, not a military conversion. It is a very clean example and gets lots of attention. It is the most fun you can have at 50MPH. If you would like to drive and own a REAL Jeep, this is it. No AC, no airbags, just die like a man ruggedness. You can enjoy this Jeep for a long time to come. It does have 2 lap belts for the front, they work great holding you in while bumping along the road.
The underside is just as clean as the top, showing very little evidence of little more than dirt road use. It needs the opportunity to be enjoyed off-road a bit or to take you wife to coffee on Saturday morning.
The price is OBO and all serious offers will be entertained. I am willing to ship at the buyers expense. Feel free to call or text. Jeep is located in OKC.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $13,000.
(10/15/2018) Could be a VEC/MB combo.

“Selling my 1946 willys Jeep cj2a. This Jeep is a great survivor, it has a wonderful patina with little to no rust. The motor is original and runs great. Recently replaced water pump, timing chain, and seals. Rebuilt emergency brake, new steering box fully restored, new shackles and bushings. All new brake lines, new fuel tank and lines, new seat frames and cushions, Cj roll bar and soft top. A lot of work has gone into this Jeep, hate to sell it but need the money.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This top is similar to a Porter & Reed top, but has some different assembly strategies. It might be home made.
“1947 Willy’s CJ-2A project Jeep. Ran when I bought it a few years ago but had a bad head gasket leak. I have replaced the head gasket, intake and exhaust gaskets, cleaned the valves and replaced the valve gasket, plus I have new gaskets for everything else. New plugs, belts, welded a hole in the gas tank, new water pump, new thermostat and new oil filter. I have also installed a tow bar. Still needs new battery and the tires are worn. Recently moved and just have time or a good place to wrench on it plus my son lost interest in working on it with me so figured it’s time for a new home. It needs the carb re-installed, fluids, battery and should be ready to run. Has some electrical issues but the lights work. Great project keep for someone to finish.”
