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 .
Unclear how much value is here.

“1946 Willys Jeep restored about eight years ago runs good call with any questions,”
Tom shared this 2A, which is listed as a 1946, but the bow holder on the passenger side suggests it is a 1948 Lefty.

“1946 Willys CJ2A with top and doors. No engine, no transmission, no title. Body is in pretty good shape. Frame is excellent. Would be a good candidate for a body/frame replacement for your rusted out jeep.”
Someone did a pretty good job of marrying that top from a ?? to the jeep.

“1946 willys Jeep, civilian, uncut, complete with go devil engine and extra transmission with transfer case. Pictures tell the story. Can send more pictures upon request.also have an extra hood. No title bill of sale provided. Can deliver within reason for additional fee. Located Canton South.”
The body is a CJ-2A, so unclear if this is a ’49 3A chassis.

The body was removed and separated into components-fenders,
hood, grill, windshield.

It has a new roll bar.
A hard cab is available for purchase ($500.00).”

For Sale: 1946 Jeep – A Vintage Gem for Restoration Enthusiasts!
Are you passionate about classic cars and eager to restore a piece of history to its former glory? Look no further! We are thrilled to offer our 1946 Jeep for sale – a true automotive treasure in remarkable condition, with unique features that set it apart.
Key Highlights:
(VEC) Rare Original Matching Plates: This 1946 Jeep comes with an extraordinary set of original matching plates 28210 – the Dash Plate, Body Plate, and
Frame Plate are all intact. These plates are not just a testament to its authenticity but also a collector’s dream.
Excellent Condition: Considering its age, this Jeep is in exceptional shape. It exhibits minimal rust and provides the perfect foundation for a restoration project that will turn heads and preserve a piece of automotive history.
Engine Anomaly: The engine in this Jeep has a +798 difference between the engine number and other plates, fear not! Willys utilized these engines for various purposes, pulling them from the assembly line for gas engine
generators during that era. This is why Willys engine numbers will not match.
No pics provided.

“1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep for sale! restored to WWII military livery. Post-WWII, the simple yet iconic all-wheel drive GP, or General Purpose Vehicle, remained in production by Willys with the model designation CJ2A. This Willys has it all. Roll cage, electric wipers, new top, great tires/rims and more custom items. Very clean for a post war vehicle. This is a surviver to the fullest ready for the next adventure. There are some engine issues which are stated below. Hate to sell it but have many vehicles in my collection and this one is going to a new home. The Willys is located in Valley Center at my other mechanics house and he will be fielding all the inquiries and has all the knowledge to show it. He’s a great friend and master mechanic. Here are the details:
Body and undercarriage restoration, very clean. Replacement early 50’s willy’s engine. Lifted and new tires. Three speed. New interior and top, with optional bikini top and car cover. Seat belts and parking brake added.
Clean california registration.
Vintage 1946 plates, approved through CA DMV with 2024 tags. Odometer says 54,000 but there is many more miles on this 50’s motor. Has only 500 after it was all restored.
Here are the issues: The engine threw a rod and my mechanic James from James Automotive down in Barrio Logan inspected and here is his diagnosis.
It’s a F Head jeep engine from the early/mid ‘50’s.
Combines a flat head with an overhead valve.
The piston in the front cylinder basically disintegrated for some reason. Connecting rod as well. And badly damaged that cylinder.
To fix you need to take engine out. Disassemble it. Rebore the cylinder. Put a new sleeve in that cylinder. Replace the oil pump, which could have caused all of this. New gaskets and seals.
Then put it all back together and back into the Willys.”
It’s a project.

“I have a 1946 Willy’s flat fender with a dauntless V6, 3 speed transmission split shift transfer case.. tires r good, runs great. I’ve driven it from Delhi to calaveras co and back with no problems. It does need paint and has some rust, I started patching rust already in the main spots but the salt from the Idaho roads really took a toll on the body. But it’s still a cool jeep. Nothing a little paint can’t cover up 😂. Also needs seats, I have a back seat but need front seats.. also have a hard top for it.. I hate to sell it but things got bad for me real quick and need the money.. I’m asking $4000- and probably won’t go down from that price. May be open to trade. Lmk. What u have. Please no junk. I want Something running. Jeep is registered as well”
