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 .

“Here we have a 1949 CJ2A. NO RUST . Rig spent its first 63 years in Eastern Oregon. Factory 134 Flat head, A lot of fun to drive and gets lots of thumbs up. I have had the Jeep for about 2 years it is pretty much stock. The only upgrades done to it are strickly for safety.
I had R and P install 11″ front Drums, and steering box upgrade to a 1971 CJ version. I also replaced all four springs with super lift 1″lift soft ride with U-bolts and shocks. I had the Radiator Rodded out last summer. And had some seat belts installed.
It was painted about 5-6 years ago and comes with the tow bar. For being 65 years old It looks pretty damn good. I have put about 130 miles on it mainly take to car shows and take kids out for ice cream during the summer. I’m somewhat flexible on price but from what I have seen on ewillys.com you are going to have to look for a long time before you find another one this nice in this price range.”
It’s got a VEC body.
“Another rare barn find. 1946 Jeep CJ2A. Yes, it needs a lot of work. No, it doesn’t have an engine. Tires will hold air long enough to get on a trailer. Vehicle has been sitting many years. Are you looking for something to do with your kids or by yourself this summer? Thanks for reading.”

Engine is frozen. Title is in the works. Price seems a bit steep given those factors.
“I have a Willys Jeep CJ2A. I traded some work for it. Title is in the works. The Jeep is all there, it has a 4 cylinder with a manual transmission. 4 wheel drive. It appears to be all there, and in working condition. I was told it is a 1946 model, but do not know for sure as of yet. See pics, if you have interest please call or text after 5:30 PM Monday thru Friday and on weekends at decent time. I will be happy to answer questions or show it if you wish. I wanted a custom jeep, and I just don’t have the heart to customize this piece of Americana. I would like to find someone that wants to restore it, but once you own it, it doesn’t matter to me what you do with it. ENGINE IS FROZEN.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8900
It’s a militarized CJ-2A that appears ready for a parade. I believe the Jasper engine is from Jaspers Engines and Transmissions in Indiana.
“1946 CJ2A Jeep. Priced to sell. $8900.00. Finished in military. Good running condition. Good parade vehicle. Jasper engine.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was ‘Make offer’.
(09/29/2012) This appears solid.
“1946 jeep willys with 1957 corvette motor in it. we have ran motor suffix numbers and it dose come back to 1957 corvette. jeep body is in good condition with no dents in it and it has new tires. motor runs great and has alot of power. make offer or will trade for rhino or other side by side.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
(05/09/2014) Two interesting things about this CJ-2A caught my eye:
1) This has the hood gutter attached to the hood hinge under the hood.
2) The front bumper connects like a 3A rather than a 2A.
I’m wondering if this is a very late 1948 CJ-2A or a rare 1949 CJ-2A. The serial number might be worth a look on this one. According to an old post by Bill Norris, the gutter was standard on CJ-2As after 193800. After #215649 the bumper was changed to a CJ-3A design (if I am interpreting this page correctly).
“This is a 1949 Willy’s Jeep. The body is in great shape, straight with no major rust. The paint is faded in many places. The jeep runs well with the original flat 4 engine. The electrical system has been upgraded to a twelve volt system. An under dash heater and electric windsheild wiper have been installed. Please call/text/email for more information.”
It doesn’t run at the moment.
“V8 small block, new paint, new wheels and tires, new holly off road carb, new wiring, new hubs, no rust, cb with speaker, hand throttle, LED rock lights, HID head lights. led tail lights. I have a new aluminum radiator and shroud that need to be installed. super clean jeep 3133998″

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
(03/31/2014) This has a combat rim. It still needs some work.
“I pulled this CJ out of the bushes 2 winters ago and brought her back to life. The L-head 4 cylinder purrs and all running gear works. Everything is original except for the S10 bench seat and Wrangler bikini top. New parts: alternator, battery, brake shoes, one new hub, new master cylinder and all new slave cylinders and new brake lines, tires good with all new inner tubes,new window glass. There is no rust anywhere. Years ago someone cut rust out of the passenger side of tub and riveted in some steel. I stayed with that style on the driver side (ratjeep style). Original color was green then repainted brown and now has a nice green/brown patina finish. A great rig to cruise around the lake or your big back yard or in town. What doesn’t work? The only gauge that works is the ammeter. I pulled the top off the transmission and it is solid,but the syncro’s don’t work (double clutcher). The engine smokes at start up but the compression is perfect. I assume the valve guides are worn. Leave this little Willys as is or great resto project.”
UPDATE: Was For Trade. **SOLD**
Lots of mods.
“This is my toy. It is a 1946 willys cj2a. we re built the jeep frame up last winter and recently put willys jeep truck axles under it. it goes every where I ask it to.

The rear axle is a dana 53 and the front is a dana 25. 5:38 gears in axles.The tires are 31×13.5-r15 super swamper sx, with white spokes. The rear axle is also welded and open in the front. Has a flowmaster on it and it sounds good. Everything works on the jeep and out performs most jeeps this age. Paint was put on few weeks back. Needs a master cylinder (50 bucks) so brakes are spongy. We’ll taken care of and did not have a rough life. Fourwheeled, but not hard. Only trading it cuz I want to go bigger. Has brand new starter, alternator and brand new gas tank and fuel pump.
