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 .

Looks like there’ some value here.
https://spokane.craigslist.org/pts/d/48-willys-flat-fender/6717401369.html
“Parting out a 48 Jeep, whole or parts I just need the front Differential. Everything is in pretty decent shape but the front floor have been patched, but not very well and probably need to be redone. The frame has been converted to use YJ springs. I believe the Dana 60 in the rear is out of a 76 Ford 3/4 ton truck and measures 67 inches wide WMS to WMS, and I believe it has 4.10 gears in it but I would have to double check.
Body: $100
Frame: $100
Springs: $50
Teraflex YJ revolver shackles: $50
Top: $100
Dana 60 rear: $100 Continue reading

Here is a video of the jeep running and driving 7/29/2018:
“For sale is my 1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A. Runs great, stops as well as a 1946 jeep ever could. New front brake shoes/wheel cylinders, master cylinder and hardware last year. New front and rear pinion seal this year. Reproduction windshield frame, glass does have two small cracks, please see the pictures. This is a 12 V conversion. Headlights and tail light work, but brake light does not – I suspect it is the switch. No turn signals. Horn doesn’t work, but there is a functional siren. New Coker Firestone tires last year and the wheels were professionally sandblasted and powder coated at that time.

“I have a 1946 willys cj2a I had intended on keeping. Time to move it on I think. Currently all bone stock besides 134f engine and rims. The engine was what I believed to be a runner until I discovered a couple burned valves a month or so ago pulling head off. But between that the jeep seems in fair shape. Has a newer best top soft top and door. I had gathered parts for this build to install a 84/85 Buick grand national v6 turbo motor in. Have wiring harness computer, but missing fuse box and any wiring needed for dash. Motor is complete. I was going to put an sm465 behind engine (still in doner vehicle) with a dana 300 tcase already twin sticked. I had a wide track dana 30 front axle with 4.10 gears I was going to install in front. No current rear axle as I haven’t found one I wanted yet. Would make a good project for. Best to email me for any additional questions. Selling for 4300 obo with everything or trade for a smog exemp cj5 71-75 preferred.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/03/2018) Could be some value here.

Includes an overdrive.

“’48 CJ-2A painted to look military. I bought in the early spring of 2017 with delusions of restoring it but realize I will never get around to it. It originated in SE Missouri as most likely an agricultural implement. The Good = runs and drives great. Original straight 4 cylinder L134 Go Devil engine and 3 speed transmission with overdrive. 4WD works great and she’d climb a tree if you were inclined. Rebuilt the master cylinder and replaced the light control switch. I have the windshield and the tow-bar for the front too. Garage kept. Clean and clear title. The Not so Good = hard to start and ether addicted…its destined for a new or rebuilt carb. Brakes still need to be bled (PS rear valve is busted). Tub is pretty rusty in the bed. Windshield has broken glass on the driver’s side. Overall: Old gal is a mechanically sound project vehicle with some appearance flaws. ”
Probably value here.
