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 .
Doesn’t run. Had column shifter.
“1946 Willys Jeep with title (original column shift). Not currently running but engine is free. Please email or text. Price is firm!”
http://elmira.craigslist.org/cto/5115289809.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Seller is overseas and the title is in SC, while jeep is in VA.
“I bought this old jeep around a year ago to restore it but don’t have the time or money so it’s for sale.
It is a 1948 Willys CJ2A. This jeep is solid to be as old as it is. It is all original and needs to be brought back to life. I believe the engine can be rebuilt because it is not seized.
This jeep is defiantly a project vehicle and requires a lot of work, but it’s solid enough to be brought back to life, and again I don’t have the time but I am not giving it away so please make a reasonable offer. your starting point is $3000, but I will work with someone if you are interested.
I have the title but am currently over seas and will be returning in a couple of months. If you are interested in the jeep and would like to see it, It is located at my father’s house and he would be more than glad to get it out of his drive way so stopping by to see it won’t be an issue. Please email any questions.
Also please note what I mentioned above, that I am over seas. The title is in Myrtle beach, I am over seas, and the jeep is in VA, so I will address any inquires or questions through email and respond as soon as possible.”
UPDATE: Now on eBay
“You’re looking at a ground-up restoration of a classic Jeep Willys CJ-2 “Alpha”. Restoration was finished in mid-2013.
I spared nothing in this rebuild. I have been a Willys fan all my life, and I wanted this to be right down to every last detail. This project took months and became quite involved.
The rebuild includes:
* Fully rebuilt engine and transmission
* Completely new clutch assembly
* New brakes, drums and brake lines
* New springs (front and rear)
* New gas tank
* New gauges and wiring
* New front seats and steering wheel
* New rims and tires
* New paint
Mechanically, it’s flawless. Drives perfectly and true to its heritage. Power plant is the stock Willys 2.2L “134” 4-cylinder, and transmission is the famous Willys 3-speed, which is reliable and bulletproof in its simplicity. Only ~200 miles on rebuild.”

“I do not have the time to finish rebuilding my 46 jeep so I am selling it. This jeep has been completely taken apart for a frame off restoration. The body was shot so I had a new heavy guage body custom bent and cut out. The floor pan is 11 gauge steel and the rest of the body panels are 16 gauge steel. I sandblasted the entire frame inside and out. It has 3 coats of rustoleum primer with 3 coats of rustoleum black paint. The new body panels are bare metal and not rusted. I have several original body parts such as windshield, hood, firewall, grille, tailgate and front fenders. I have 2 complete hurricane 4cyl. motors. One motor has a bad cylinder. Neither one has run for over 10 years as this jeep was stored in a garage since the 60’s. I have extra complete front and rear axles with leaf springs also. I will not part out any parts except the extra axles. This jeep is currently stripped down to the frame and ready to start reassembly. This is mainly a package deal. Please call with any questions. Cash only.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2600. It’s a column shift with tool indents.

(06/23/2015) ‘If you look at it, you have to buy it?’ That’s a good way to discourage potential buyers.
“1946 CJ-2A Willys Jeep with windshield. Ran great a couple of years ago. Now water is getting into the oil. Either bad head gasket or cracked block. Hopefully bad head gasket. Good ranch vehicle. Probably to much work to turn into a show piece. Buy as is. Located east of Fredericksburg. If you look at it you have to buy it.

(06/28/2013) One rough jeep and other parts.
“1948 jeep willys cj2a. ran about 3 years ago but has been parked since. Chevy small block. tons of extras almost enough to make a second jeep including:

tub (blue in picture) existing one has some rust
frame
2 grills”
This has the tool indents, column shift, and the squared bolts for the bow holders, but lacks the full floaters it should have if it is a ’45. Maybe the rear end was replaced?
