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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200
(03/30/2012) The rims look great, but the rest of the jeep less so.
“1946 Willy jeep CJA2, 4wd, 3spd, flattie (needs rebuild). nice refinished rims, locking hubs.

“I am selling this for my father. He doesn’t have a computer and is to the point where he cant see and hear well so I am doing this for him. I apologize up front if I don’t have all of the information for you. He bought this several years ago with the idea of rebuilding it to be just like the one he drove as a kid. He didn’t get that far on it. I actually just pulled it out of his garage, hosed it off and took the pictures. Nothing fancy here. It is a vehicle in need of complete restoration. He said he drove it in, so I know it ran/runs. The clutch works though I am sure they could use some attention to make the lever work better. I think he was working on the brakes when he stopped working on it. It needs all kinds of work on the body, lots of rust issues as you can see from the pictures. It looked to me like the frame has been repaired in places. He was talking about buying new fenders and body parts, I suppose they are available on line. The canvas is in decent shape, may be an issue with some of the clear plastic. The seats look decent. The rubber tires look average except for the one that is flat, it will need replacement. The inside of the bed will need to be straightened. It looks like it had somebody heavy stand on it and it dips just a bit over the underside frame, I don’t know if you can see it in the pictures. And some thing got on it and bubbled the paint there, but of course, it would need new paint everywhere. If you would like to see it, it is near Ft Campbell, KY.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $950.
This doesn’t run.
“1949 CJ2A Jeep. Good Iowa title. Extra set of wheels. Includes original owners manual. Not running. ”

This jeep is apart.
“i have a 1946 jeep willys. it is currently taken apart for rebuilding purposes. i do not have a title but it is easily obtained so i will write a bill of sale. i have 2 tubs. One i fixed up and replaced all of the rusted through spots, the other being a donor tub for brackets and such. The frame and axles were sprayed with primer recently. I have new parts to put the chassis together. I have the original t-90 transmission and spicer 18 twin stick transfercase. I do not have the original 4 cylinder engine because i was doing a v8 swap with a 302. i also have the rest of the body (hood, grill, ect.) along with the oringinal 4 tires/rims. Im a busy student and have no time out of my studies to complete this project. It would be a fairly simple rebuild if you have experience in mechanics. All in all this would make a sweet project if you have the mechanical knolwege. i would like to get $1000 out of it but would be open to reasoable offers.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $29,000. It appears to have a column shift.
“This 1946 Willys Jeep, Ser. # 13241 has been totally restored to new condition and I have the old parts. It has no miles, I have taken to shows on a trailer.

Engine froze. No paperwork.
“Jeep CJ2A 46,000 Miles Does Not Run , Engine Stuck, Good Drivetrain Body Complete , Frame Decent but has Been patched in the Front,”

(06/14/2012) This looks like a nice little jeep, though it is missing the bow holders on the driver’s side and could use some new paint.

Though there are a few things left to do on this jeep, it looks nicely refurbished.
“The new owner of this 1947 CJ2A Willys Jeep will get to decide on the color and how much tint if any they want on the windshield glass. Those are about the only large items that need to be done yet. In addition, the new light harness needs to be installed and there are a few other minor items to be completed. All the big stuff is done. There is a new steel body sitting on an un-modified frame. It has new brakes, brake lines, NDT tires & tubes and exhaust system. It has a new battery and proper sized battery cables. The engine was professionally rebuilt as was the transmission/transfer case. Frame was cleaned and painted when the body was off. There is some very minor rust through on the rear cross member that is covered by the draw bar that comes with it. It runs well in both 2 & 4 WD. It is titled but not licensed so it has only been run on our property and a few back roads. I would guess the engine only has about 20 hours on it. Seats have new cushions and covers. Gauges and steering wheel are new. This CJ2A has been done correctly with no cut corners. It is being sold due to health issues that will not allow me to enjoy it when completed so the new owner may as well have their pick of color for it. There are many spare parts that will be included with the sale.”
UPDATE: Orange jeep was for sale here in 2012. **Sold in late 2012 (listed for $5500 with another jeep). Relisted in 2015 with a hood bumped added.
This appears to have a fiberglass body, but I can’t tell for sure. This was for sale back in April. Since then it looks like it was painted. The top has definitely been painted.

Bentley gave us a heads up on this. There is a CJ-3B in parts, a CJ-2a, a VEC CJ-2A (mistakenly identified by the auctioneer as a military jeep), and a ton of parts and tools. The VEC is particularly interesting as it appears to have full floating hubs, so it might be very VEC.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200
This had a V8 swap in it. It has very early data plates, which suggests it was a VEC. It also has the tool indents. I can’t tell if it has a column shift still or not. It has the square washers on the windshield.
