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 .
That little steering wheel must be hard to crank without powersteering.

(12/9/2009) eWillys’ reader Bryan is selling this rig. He’s got a pretty good collection of jeeps already!
“I am going to sell my 48 CJ2A in order to restore a 3A I have been wanting to rebuild for some time. This jeep is in very good condition. Original 4cyl 3 speed. with NDT tires and rims including mounted spare. Solid jeep not perfect condition but very nice. Jeep RUNS and DRIVES. Starter is acting up and fuel lines could be flushed as it has set in a shed for two years but was licensed and on the road in 2006/2007. I also ran recently with gas through carb. Belonged to an older gentleman who fixed up to drive in parades. Couple spots in floor board(Small)and one wear mark on drivers side paint but very good. I havent seen a cleaner original split windsheild frame and I have seven jeeps. Jeep has obviously been repainted at one time but nicely done and no visible bondo. Clean tailgate, frame, body ect. Possibly willing to help deliver at purchasers expense. Clean nebraska title with original serial num. and plate If you have questions, call me 308-325- 2858. No scammers I have more pics but serious interests only.”

One of the bodies is a VEC body.
“I have 3 Cj2a jeeps for sale. The first is a rolling chasis with body and T-90 transmission and spicer 18 transfercase. I do not have the a hood or windshield. This jeep is very solid and straight. It has a little rust but nothing major for it’s age. The next 2 jeeps are tubs only. One is has had some repair nice repair work done to the floor boards and quarters. The other tub is in several sections and has rust. I am also selling an aluminum hard top with hard doors. These are very hard to come by. It is aluminum so there are no rust issues!

This appears in good shape.
“1947 WIllys Jeep CJ2A – strong running original inline 4 cylinder that has been converted to 12V system. Will consider boat or canoe in trade or partial trade.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4600.
The body almost looks like a VEC as it appears to have an indent on the side.

Here’s a nice looking CJ.
“48 Cj2 Jeep. Has later F-Head motor completely rebuilt. Holds 45 lbs. oil pressure hot idle. Has had all overlap seams removed. Has some body filler but not much. Has urethane liner on the under side and inside. Mechanically very good.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This looks like it’s in good shape. With the solid body and plow, this might be a good deal.
“
1948 Willys CJ-2A (Shown with CJ-3A Windshield frame), No top, 4 Cyl, locking hubs, 6-ft plow, runs good, good brakes. Solid but not a daily driver. I have used this for plowing my driveway for the last 15 years.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $700. It appears the seller has put some of the ’46 back together again based on the most recent pics (the two pics on the top).
(02/27/2010) This looks like a pile of parts. Note the cage is probably for a CJ-5, which is why it doesn’t fit properly in the front. I like the two old slot rims. I think you’ll need to get two additional jeeps just to make one whole one out of these two.
“I have 2 willys jeeps a 46 an a 47 cj2a. The 46 is takin apart an the 47 is still on frame betwen the 2 there is one motor a 134 flathead 2 trannys 2 transfercases one windshield an a rollcage… An i have the title to the 46 so with both you can make one nice jeep an the price is 800 firm i will not take any less!”

Here’s a nicely restored jeep, but I see nothing to indicate this is a ’45 or a ’46. The serial number puts it as a ’47. It is actually titled as a 1942.
“This example is one of the earliest CJ-2A Jeeps built by Willys in 1945. It was restored about 10 years ago. During the restoration, it was decided that this example would be painted to resemble a pre-1945 military Jeep and painted the appropriate military color with military numbering. Also, the spare tire was moved to the rear of the vehicle (military Jeeps had rear mounted spare tires, civilian Jeeps had side mounted spare tires). It should be noted that while this vehicle is a 1945, it is titled as a 1942. The VIN number is 106459 and is located on the original VIN tag on the firewall which also designates the model as a CJ 2A. The mileage indicated is approximately 21,000, however, like most vintage cars, there is no way of guaranteeing if this is original …”
UPDATE: Sold to an excited eWillys reader!
This is the 2nd beautiful restoration from Vista I have seen. The first one is posted here. The seller is as meticulous regarding the description as he is on the restoration itself!
“Background on VEC #14,513 – During the past seven years I have restored four 1946 CJ2A jeeps to original condition. This jeep is by far the best and is the rarest of the four. It also represents my last jeep restoration project. I work at the San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park and my first restoration of a CJ2A is being used in a trained animal show there every day. I had so much fun, with this project that it got me started restoring them for fun. #14,513 is my best restoration and I expected it to be my “keeper”.
As far as I can trace the history, except for the last year before I purchased it, when it was in Oregon, this jeep is a California native (at least for the last 50 years, when the ownership trail went cold). It has no rust. In the 1950’s it was owned by Phil’s Garage in Torrance, California. It was set up to tow vehicles back to the shop. It was impeccably maintained by the garage mechanic, who I never met, but whose workmanship and attention to detail 50 years ago, I still admire today.
This jeep has matching serial numbers on the firewall, dash and left front frame horn. Behind the column shifter, is the T-90 transmission. The column shift option was dropped early in the first year of production (at around #30,000), because the GIs returning home from the war preferred the floor shifter transmission like the ones they were used to driving in their various theaters of operation. For this reason, there are very few, original equipment, column shift VECs left ….”
