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 $6991
(07/10/2018) Sold by a dealer: Drive N Buy.
“Stop in or give us a call today! (208) 703-4869 Ask us about our Buy Here Pay Here Program (OAC), as well as seek out the best interest rate possible for you.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $17,500.
Looks good. It does lack top bow holders, but that’s a minor quibble.
“This jeep has had a complete frame off restoration restoring it to its original like-new condition starting with reproduction tub, fenders, tailgate, windshield, hood and grill all purchased from Willys Overland in Toledo, OH. All drive train components, springs, transmission, engine, electrical, etc were either professionally rebuilt or replaced with new old stock or repro parts-all receipts come with purchase. Body and paint work were done by an auto body professional in a authentic Luzon Red with harvest yellow rims and accent paint.
This vehicle has been driven less than 500 miles since its restoration was completed in 2009. I’m regretfully selling this since I have 4 others and I need to part with some due to tackling a major house renovation. This jeep starts quickly, runs like new and is ready for the beach, mountains, ranch, farm or wherever you want to enjoy it. I have outfitted it with new lap seat belts in front and rear seats which were not not originally installed in these jeeps.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $8000.
(10/02/2018) Has updated engine.

(10/24/2018) This appears to have some dents and dings, but looks pretty stock and solid. It’s supposed to have lockers.
“FOR SALE:1946 original Willys CJ2A Jeep

I suspect this is on a 1947 CJ-2A chassis based on the 81136 serial number. There are a few more than a few stainless bodies out there.

(04/01/2018) Lots of work has been completed.
“Frame off restoration is being completed how and is almost ready for paint. Fame and rear ends were media blasted then epoxy coated as well as some minor frame repair. Almost everything from the axles up is new or rebuilt. 330 hours on rebuilt engine, transmission and transfer case. All new springs, entire body, so no rust to come to combat in the near future. All new parts to put the jeep back together. The list of parts is almost endless.
I have not painted it because someone may want a different color than what I was going to paint it. It will be in gray primer. Also the body will be removed from the frame so it is ready to paint. If I paint it and reassemble the entire thing the price will be going up. I have all receipts for the motor work, transmission part, transfer case parts and current body work that will go with the jeep.

Probably not a whole lot of value, but it does have some odd data plates on the dash. Also has full-floating rear hubs.
“1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A. Body is rough and Engine doesn’t run. Frame is solid aside from the tweaked front horn but that’s easily fixed. Definitely a project but all the major pieces are there to get you started.”
