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 .

(11/01/2017) Engine needs rebuilding.
“FOR SALE: 1949 Willys Jeep CJ3A. I have owned this Jeep for 20+ years and hate to sell it, but life dictates otherwise. I restored it with my father in high school and drove it around town for 2-3 years. College, marriage, children, mortgage, and other responsibilities resulted in the jeep sitting in the barn for 17 years. The engine and ancillary components have been partially disassembled. Tires are dry rotting. Master cylinder needs rebuilding. Transmission needs a new first gear. Other than a few minor issues, this Jeep is solid and rust free. It is a complete Jeep and the parts needing attention are all in great shape and can be re-built. Engine needs rebuilding. Head gasket was blown when it was parked.”

The primer paint suggests some body work may have been done.
“Very clean. Kept indoors. V6-Buick, 2BBL Holley, Disc Brakes, Wench. All electrical works.”
https://medford.craigslist.org/cto/d/jeep-cj-2a-1948/6468565849.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
Either the heat melted the grille and the building, causing both to lean forward OR the photo is skewed (might be a photo of a photo).
“1946 Willy Jeep, burgundy, minor body work on one side. Runs great, just overhauled. Fun to drive. 3 speed. All manual and original functions. Minor upholstery cracks. Needs carpet or whatever buyer wants to put in. New bikini top, new tires. Rare lightening rod 4 wd shifters. This is perfect for the right investor.”
This is located in the middle of nowhere. We drove through there once.
“283 SBC, suspension and body lift, new tires and wheels heater”

Has updated engine. That might be a Porter & Reed hardtop, but I am not certain.
“Starts right up, runs good, one owner sense 1963, has a 1967 4cyl overhead cam, seat belts, removeable top.”
Jay’s selling this chassis.
“I have for sale a Willys CJ2A frame with springs and axles. The frame is in great shape for 70 plus years old. Asking $1000 but open to offers.”

“I have an original 1946 CJ2a willys jeep tub. There’s plenty of rust but maybe a panel or two might work for you.

https://visalia.craigslist.org/pts/d/1946-cj2a/6477931792.html
Seller believes this is an Army jeep due to the passenger side indents, but that more likely the sign of a replacement body.
“1946 Willys CJ2A, Go Devil L-134 4 cylinder engine, rebuilt generator, just tuned up. No rust or rot.
Frame off restoration done 12 years ago. Original PTO in the back. 3 speed standard. 6 volt system.
all gauges work. no directionals, never had any. all lights work. 19,000 original miles. never had windshield wipers. added a 6 volt electric wiper on drivers side but never ran voltage to it. she is a Army Jeep you can tell by the indents on the passenger side of the sheet metal. has some paint chipping. She runs excellent. will add more pics this weekend.”

I think the seller’s credibility slipped when he listed this “99.5% original” jeep as a 1946 …. It appears to have a CJ frame, given the PTO bar on the back. This may well be a mix of 2A and M-38 parts.
https://westslope.craigslist.org/cto/d/1946-willis-2-4-cyl-flat-head/6476032716.html
