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 .
The engine is supposed to run.

It sounds like the floors may need to have the hat channels replaced at some point.

“1948 Willys Jeep. Everything new or rebuilt. 225 Dauntless, Borg Warner T10 4 speed, Hurst Shifter, Dana 20 Transfer Case, 1973 Dana 30 front and Dana 44 rear axles with 373 gears.”
It’s listed as a 1946, but has a later grille and driver’s side spare tire holes, so it may be a 1948 Lefty.

“1946 willys CJ2A jeep project…body is fair, good tires”
The chassis appears to be from a CJ, but the body looks to be from an MB.

“This is a project jeep, rolling chassis, started cutting out bad body metal, have some new replacement metal. New tires, body is on a homemade rotisserie thats included.”
This jeep has some early Husky hubs (see how they should look), but they are missing the levers to engage/disengage 4wd.

“1946 Willys
Runs great.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(02/20/2022) The body looks in great shape. The custom console under the dash seems a nice fit (though probably not easy to get to given it is behind the shifters).
https://denver.craigslist.org/cto/d/paradise-1948-jeep-willys/7458106559.html
“Very nice finished Willys with newer Buick overdrive V-6 Detroit locker rear end with floater kit, 11 inch brakes. 4×4 lifted with tight suspension. Tow bar connector under front bumper. Solid straight body and undercarrige. Newer seat also has good floors and tub. This rig really likes to go fishing. Clean title $12,000 Plains Mt.”
This looks in good shape. Is that a heater blower on the dash? I don’t recognize it. The green windshield piece on the interior must be a defroster?

Hard top and doors from newer CJ3b ? home made adapters to fill side area around windshield and tub. Aftermarket heater, Brakes don’t work, no fluid. no seats,early 60’s GM column, probably same Buick as engine.

“1948 Jeep CJ-2A flat fender Willys. Upgraded Buick V6 with overdrive installed, does cruise 60+ mph no problem. A ton of new parts including new wiring/brakes/tires. This is considered a rare “Lefty” which only means spare is mounted on drivers side. Runs great but does sometimes slip out of 2nd gear only off the gas/downshifting.”

“1946 willys jeep that was one time used as a sand dragster, (wild oats). I bought it as a project with a blown motor and trans. No rust, fiberglass tub and boxed frame. I rebuilt the SBC engine and trans for street use. Zero miles since done. Added all street legal requirements, head lights, tail, turn, stop, high beams, horn, windshield and wiper. Has brand new mud terrain tires and wheels. I added 4.88 gears and a powerloc to the front diff. The rear is a dana 44 with a spool. Chp would not allow me to license for street use. It is licensed for off road use. I do have current registration and pink slip. Come and get it for this season in the dunes.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
Needs brakes.
“runs and drives good just needs brakes has all needed dmv paperwork with license plate it’s street legal”
This project has a variety of mods and welds that need some close inspection.

“This is a project to be completed, Ford 289 engine, T90-3 speed manual trans, Body has been lifted by reverse Leaf springs on top axles, CVF pully system, 90 % on tires, fenders and hood, radiator go with. Things to complete, brakes, steering, wiring, body assembly. Pink was been signed by previous owner, been on non opp. Need to move this build to someone that will complete it”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
(11/28/2021) This is part of or from an estate sale. It’s a unique build.
“Street, strip or sand, this 1952 Willys is ready to play! While the clean title, which I have in hand, says it’s a 1952 Willys, I believe only the chassis, which has been boxed, is original. Blueprinted Aluminum GM V8 406ci/7.0l block. Aluminum Dart heads. That’s hooked up to a cutch-Turbo 400 transmission with scatter shield controlled B&M Pro Ratchet automatic shifter attached to a 3/4 ton 205 transfer case. Custom built heavy duty drive shafts to professionally built 35 spline axels. Dana 60 with locker and 5.08 gears in rear and Dana 44 with 4.88 gears in front. Street tires are brand new. Sand tires and wheels are also new. Extra set of wheels included if you want to mount slicks!
The rig is up and running/stopping but should be gone through before pushing it hard. It was parked for several years in an Arizona garage. Was plated in CA. Has break lights, headlights, turn signals. It’s an estate sale. Really cool, but not my jam. Trailer with tire rack available.”
Ran when parked twenty years ago.

“Very complete, original wheels, PTO winch, ran prior to being parked in a barn 20 years ago. Not currently running. Includes piles of extra parts”
This needs some work. It may be a VEC.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/512088863904541
“This is my 1946 cj-2a project, it’s got 7k original miles, the body on it is pretty straight and the drive train is still good, and the engine is pretty seized considering it was sitting for a good while before we got it, comes with towbar and a wench so it’s ready to go Will trade for motorbikes, running cars/trucks, and freedom seeds Please message me if u need more pics or more info”
This could be worth a look. I can’t tell if the floors have rust or not.
