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 .
Sounds like a parts jeep.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s another refurbished jeep from Brigantine Beach. In regards to the seller’s answer to a buyer’s questions (see the ebay ad), while true the U.S. Air Force wasn’t formed until 1947, prior to that it was either the Army Air Corps (AAC) or the US Army Air Forces (USAAF). This jeep isn’t about accuracy. It’s about having some fun.
Then I got to thinking. As a point of discussion, is it a misuse of government intellectual property to paint on and resale something with USAF like this? I’m not that concerned about it, but I was just wondering if it’s technically legal. I might have to research that.

It’s always easier to take apart a project than it is to put it together.
“There is a complete jeep in there somewhere. Was taken a part to restore. as you can see the only restoration that happed was the taken apart. Would really like to use my trailer again some day it does not go with it. no title will part out.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $7500
I’ve spent some time in Arnold. It’s a pretty area. The jeep looks nice, too. It’s got a body lift and a grille & windshield from a M-38. This lacks a tailgate, which makes me wonder if the body is a DJ body (note the lack of a side fuel inlet).
“This is the probably the cleanest 1946 CJ2A you will see. It is painted in Pearl Orange with only a few minor chips that you really have to look for. This Willys has a Buick 225 Odd Fire which runs clean and installed as a rebuild last year.
The transmission is a SM465 with an Advanced Adapters kit between the motor and the Dana 18 Transfer case. The rear axle is a Dana 44 (upgraded from the Dana 41) with 5:38 / 1 gearing, while the front axle is a Dana 27 with matching gear ratios. The hubs are Warn Premium hubs and there is a Warn All Range overdrive also installed.
The Tires are 30″ Super Swampers that are brand new, and they are considerably taller than a traditional 30″ tires. Rims are Black Steel.
This Jeep also has the 10.5″ Clutch and upgraded 9″ brakes. There is a tow bar (not shown) that is included. I am even including the custom axe which is bolted to the roll bar and matches the paint. Fire Extinguishers and two Jerry cans also included.
I had a custom top made for the Jeep that extends all of the way to the back of the custom full roll cage.
There are several more improvements done to this Jeep. Everything is interior is clean, with nice gauges and a locking console. The seats are complete with seat belts.
I’m hoping to trade this Jeep for a CJ7, Nice Jeepster, or Bronco since my family has outgrown this Jeep. I’m not in a hurry to sell, so I’m not looking for anything that leaks a ton of oil, will leave you stranded, or needs too much work. I will sell outright for $8,000.00 but hoping to trade. ”

(10/14/2012) This has toyota axles, but it looks like they were installed well from this angle.
“Buick V6, T90, Dana 18, Toyota axles, Landcruiser springs, 35″ tires. Racing buckets, power steering. Comes with M420 and Dana 20”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
(08/31/2012) This looks solid and appears to have been extensively rebuilt. The front bow holder looks a little oddly placed.
“Up for sale, 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A. Completely rebuilt, frame off restoration. Call or text for questions, no emails please. 9,500 OBO. If you leave a message please provide a name and contact number.”
Marc spotted this crazy jeep.
“You are looking at a 1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep. The jeep has been totally customized we bought this from an estate who had this jeep done about 25 years ago. The rear of the jeep has been customized into a rear trunk storage area. The jeep runs and drives good with no problems. We believe that the engine is a chevy 283 V8, the transmission is the original 3 speed standard. the wipers, turn signals, and lights all work. The body is in really nice shape with no rust or holes the paint is really nice. there is a small paint blemish on the right front fender. The jeep comes with a soft top and doors there are also some extra covers that come with it that I believe are used to keep elements out when the car is parked with the top off. The top is in good shape. The under carriage is decent no holes in floor however the frame has been repaired in front on both sides near the shock see pics. The interior is in really nice shape with a custom fit carpet the seats are nice with custom wool stitched into the seat. This is a very unique jeep that someone put a lot of time and money into, this jeep is in very good shape for the year.”
