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 promising. Only one pic provided.

UPDATE: **SOLD** was $12,900.
(03/12/2016) Looks in good shape.
“1946 Willys CJ2A. I found this wonderful Willys/Jeep in dry storage where it has been since 1987. It was last driven then. It was repainted once in the late 1970’s. 1979 is what I was told. I don’t claim to be a jeep expert but I have been restoring muscle cars for 30 years. I don’t recall seeing anything any vehicle cleaner than this Willys. It is in astounding condition for a 70 year old vehicle. I own a repair garage and as such went through this Willys mechanicals from end to end. Fluids all drained refilled. I rebuilt the fuel pump, master cylinder and carburetor. I removed the oil pan to check for debris, clean and reseal. The entire fuel system was cleaned spotless to remove all old fuel residues. Plugs and points were installed. Upon completion of all this work, I hit the starter button and the original engine fired immediately and runs perfectly. Continue reading
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
The body has been lengthened. I’m wondering if this is on a later model CJ-5 chassis? Either that or the frame has been lenghtened.
“Has sat for a long time. Is a good restoration project. $1,000 or best offer. All reasonable offers considered.”
There appears to be some value here.
“Project jeep. Needs full restoration. Have extra drive train. 3 sets of axles. Extra solid frame. One piece fiberglass nose. Thinning the heard. I can do the bodywork for you at additional cost.”

(10/06/2013) “Must sell my beautiful flatfender jeep, very nicely rebuilt including many, many new parts. All stock except for it was converted to 12 volts with an alternator. My first car was a ’47 Willys CJ2A, which I bought when I was 16 and sold when I was 26 because I needed a truck for my business. This Jeep was an attempt to recapture the good ol’ days, which really aren’t that easy to get back at 59! My attention is now on restoring a Jeep FC 170 and I need to sell the old ’46 to finance the project. It’s got a clear title and is ready to run.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
Given the trailer it is worth a look.
“Runs and drives. Only driven in yard. No breaks. Stuck valve on number one cylinder.”
Needs work, but there might be value here.

Bill forwarded this ad. The body is aluminum. It’s listed as a 1942, but the chassis is likely newer than that.
“942 Willys jeep, aluminum body, nice rims, new tires, V-6 crossfire motor, power sterring, new springs,.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(05/23/2015) Sounds like it needs some work.
“Selling my 47 cj2a jeep, it has a 283 SBC motor, the frame has been completely boxed, the rear brakes are brand new but the system needs to be bled. It has a 3 spd trans in it now but not a T-90, I have an SM420 4 spd that goes with it along with a Novak adapter for the D18 TC, I also have a rebuild kit for the trans. The D 41 rear axle has a Loc-Rite locker in it and the D25 up front is all stock. The jeep has the usual rust areas but is completely repairable, the wiring needs to be gone through but the jeep ran when I put it in the garage. I also have 3 GM tilt columns that will go with it as that was what I was going to put in it. I will post some pics in a day or so, thanks for looking!”
