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: Originally priced at $7500. This really was is in great, original shape.
This sounds like an interesting jeep. Sounds like a time machine. This is supposed to be the original Princeton Black paint job, which the CJ-2A Page confirms is a very rare color.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1350
(07/06/2010) It might be worth a closer look if you are near Burbank.
“I have had this Willys Jeep since 1998. Drove it home and it got disassembled. It’s been a project ever since. THIS IS A PROJECT
I would strongly discourage the average person; you need to be mechanically inclined to have fun with it. *** I have a trailer and can provide delivery *** ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.
(05/08/2012) It doesn’t run. The top is not included.
“Willys 1946 CJ2A Very solid Jeep, body and floors in very good condition, this is not a beat up rust bucket. This Jeep was parked inside a hanger and used at a private airstrip in Calpine CA, where it has been for 51 years. Front end has been rebuilt, new Warn hubs and aftermarket bell crank. At some point it had a V-6 Buick 225 engine installed, the rest of the Jeep is all stock. The Jeep has not run for about 12 years but was running when parked. Tires are still in great shape. Have original CA pink slip. Jeep has original black and yellow plates. Nice Jeep to restore for the price. With a new battery and a few hours of work you could have it back on the road.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
“48 Willys, Body Excellent, Buick V-6 replaced original Engine in the late 60’s. Chev steering with frame horn mods. Otherwise it’s all original Jeep/Willys. No seats. I have 1 original wheel and extra (or original) front axle. Bring you own wheels and tires. Make Offer.”
The front cowl is so crushed that at first I thought I was looking at a Bantam prototype. You can see the cowl damage in the last pic.
“For Sale 1946 Willys Jeep Rolling Chassis with Transmission and Transfer case.

Also comes with original body tub with front fenders.
Body tub is in poor condition, but tail gate is good and fenders are salvageable.

http://www.ewillys.com/wp-admin/post-new.php
I can’t tell if this is a CJ-2A body that has had the drain holes filled and the tailgate covered up or a ww2 body with a filler inlet added.
“Very good condition”

I like the little toy/pedal(?) jeep.

UPDATE: Still Available
(05/10/2012) I haven’t seen a hood painted quite like that one. I’ll bet this was a nice jeep at one time. It looks like the seat covers matched the dark accent color, too.
“This was a go getter at one time- This is a good example of what happens to vehicles that are left unused for years- This is a 1946 Willys jeep that has not run for about 12 years- It comes with a M-416 2 wheel Military Trailer that still has all the Military hardware- The trailer is in good condition wih some rust out and some damage to front sheet metal- The Jeep has all the usual rust out places-The gas tank is no good-Has good back seat frame and passenger seat frame,drivers seat frame is pretty rusty-Floor boards are rusty- Has a tow bar,but you will need a trailer to haul it home- Frame is still solid with no rusted out places-Transmission and transfer case shift easily- Motor will need some work,but looks to be complete-Has been converted to 12 volts-Oil canister is missing-Radiator holds water- Down side ot motor someone tried to remove plugs and broke them off in head-Tires are dry rotted- Has whats left of a Canvas top and door frames, has all the top bows and mounting hardware for top-There are lots of good parts or you could get it running with a little work- SOLD AS IS – I do have a good Texas title for the Jeep”
http://dallas.craigslist.org/mdf/cto/3016912009.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This probably seemed like a good idea at the time ….
” For auction is my 1946 Willys CJ2A “modified”. This vehicle sits upon a cut down 1973 K-5 Chevrolet chassis. It has a cast iron 4 speed manual transmission and cast iron gear driven transfer case! Rear differential is 12 bolt limited slip and front is 10 bolt with manual lock outs. Disc brakes up front and drums in the rear. There is currently no engine!! It was last fitted with a 250 cid GM inline six. Just about anything with a Chevrolet bolt pattern can be made to fit! The top was custom fabricated and appears to be aluminum. The body has, what I would consider, a lot of rust, but is all there and still has many usable parts. Everything about the driveline worked fine when the engine was pulled in 2009. It has been sitting ever since (except to be towed).”
