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 $3000
“Husband passed away, have never started the jeep, but he always took it hunting until 2002. Very good condition.”

(10/06/2009) “Two early Willys jeeps. One is an “Army jeep,” and may be a very rare variant made by Willys in 1946 for the Coast Guard, and the other is a definitely a ’46 CJ2A (it has a nameplate). From my purely novice viewpoint, it looks a lot like the CJ2A, but I’m selling it without claiming it to be any particular model. I just don’t know myself to be able to say. It has “battle wheels and tires.” I do know both are 1940s models (everyone seems to agree on that point) and the army one had a PTO (it has a pillow block in the original bumper) in the front and has an odd-ball “government-issue” hitch and tow-bar. The CJ2A is complete incl. engine, the other is minus the engine, but the rest of the drivetrain appears complete. Both need a fair amount of work if the buyer wants to restore them to original, but you could probably get a running jeep in a full weekend of work, maybe less. There is enough here to get one complete, running jeep and have a fair boneyard left over. The bodies are, as these things are generally found, both pretty good. I had gotten these intending to make one out of both, but have been told they are collectible and it’s probably best not to do that. I don’t have the time or really, the interest or desire, to restore them myself. I’ve checked eBay, etc., and know that these are not just “old jeeps,” so please, no low-ball offers.”
This seller has 5 jeeps and is selling 3 of them.
“1946 Willys jeep. great condition, all original except roll bar and back seat. Has full black winter enclosure with doors. Has a bimini top for summer. I have 5 jeeps. Am selling 3 of them. I have had it for years, probably put 1000 miles on it going a mile to work and two miles to the ball fields. Has brand new tires on it.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
Is this a VEC? I can’t quite tell. There are several knobs in odd locations … there’s a lot of work necessary to save that tub.
“This is a 1946 Willys CJ2A. The body is in restorable condition, main tub is solid, needs new floorboards in front, rear floor still solid. Frame was modified in front for snow plowing (steel plating welded to front frame horns), have replacement frame section for this area. Motor turns by hand, transmission/transfer case, and axles are all present and complete, no seat frames. Comes with a complete Carter WO carburetor, new Bestop TigerTop. Has a hydrallic pump mounted in the cab, between seats, for the snow plow operation. Comes with signed off Michigan title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000

I love the old school paint job.
“Up for auction is 1946 Willy’s CJ2A #64464. Many years in previous family and believed to be originally purchased in California. Barn storage or desert life much of vehicle’s existence and what little rust around steps came from outside storge last few years not far from southern California beach.
I purchased this 2A as a project to do with my son as I soon planned to start work on my original one owner California ’48 CJ2A(red one in couple of pictures) and was not far from my house. I believe it to have most of it’s original Harvest Tan paint in tact and to be 95% rust free. This 2a underwent a very well done 283 Chevy V8 engine swap in the 60’s that included 11″ brake upgrade and GM steering. The fire wall has been moved rearward 4″ with nice metalwork. Sold with bill of sale. Vehicle does not have windshield, seats or engine. Have seen some restored and complete rolling chassis on ebay as late so maybe a great restorable body can be of help to someone.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1500
(03/22/2010) Here are a couple of CJ-2As.
