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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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: **Status Unknown** Was $3000.
It’s a project.
“This is referred to as a Very Early CJ (VEC) Jeep. Serial number 10391, it was the 391st CJ ever made. Probably produced the second or third day they made CJ’s. (they started at serial number 10001 and they only made about 1800 of these 1945 model CJ’s.) It is partly disassembled and all the parts are there. The engine and trans are replacements. the original shifter was on the steering column and it has been replaced with floor shift. The motor does turn over and they sealed it up when they took some of the parts off, so it is not full of dirt dobbers and rust, probably rebuildable. The floor has rust holes around the reinforcement channels as is normal with these jeeps. Replacement parts are readily available. The other parts of the body are in good shape. Front fenders are very smooth, hood is straight and stiff, has the original windshield rests on it. Grill is excellent. Tub has side indents for shovel and pick, like war jeeps. Has the original Power Take Off on the rear with all shafts and shifter in place. 6-Volt starter and generator. one 6v wiper for driver side, manual for rider. Harrison Heater. Selectro locking hubs. full floating rear axle, like a war jeep. Tailgate is good. gas tank looks good. Side mount spare carrier is gone but I can throw one in on the deal.
Also included is a new draw bar for the rear and a replacement front bumper.
This would make a great tribute jeep in military style or a nice jeep CJ show/parade car. Or, put a 302 in it, lift it and put big tires on it and go to the river. or do a little brush hogging with the PTO attachment.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
Has some mods.
“1946 Willy’s CJ2A. Buick V6 engine, runs and drives.”
There seller is clear about what is wrong with it.
“For sale is a 1946 CJ-2A Jeep S/N 64484. Jeep is in running condition and is used as an aircraft tug on a daily basis. It is a 1946 so there are many things wrong with it.
Some of the items to note are:
– rust throughout jeep
-lights throughout are intermittent in operation or not working
– no gas cap
– engine burns oil
– brakes seem stiff
– needs tires
– leaks oil
The registration is available and we have an app for replacement title. It comes with the service manual and side door frames (see picture).
We are selling as is. We highly recommend a visual inspection of the jeep prior to purchase. All sales are final. Delivery possible. Call for delivery quote.”

Not sure how much value is here.
“1946 Willys Jeep with clean, clear Washington Title. This is an original steel tub that is in so-so condition. Comes with grill and windshield frame and everything else shown in the picture.
It is sitting on a early Ford Bronco Chassis. Come with Ford 9 inch differentials front and rear as well as the Bronco 3 speed transmission and Dana 18 Transfer Case. It has a small block Ford in it now. I know nothing about the condition of this engine. Consider it a core. It has aluminum intake, headers, Accel Distributor etc. It also has a C4 transmission behind it.”
