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 on eBay.
It’s no reserve auction currently at only $102.50. Certainly worth that! I’m less convinced about the ‘extremely collectable’ claim.
“1946 WILLYS JEEP CJ2A NO RESERVE!
RECENT BODY OFF RESTORATION
POWERED BY CHEVY 4.3L VORTEC V6
DYNOED AT 261HP
4 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION
DANA T18 TRANSFER CASE WITH WARN OVERDRIVE
SERIAL NUMBER 33167 – EARLY PRODUCTION CJ2A AND EXTREMELY COLLECTABLE!!
SELLING NO RESERVE TO HIGHEST BIDDER!”
Collectible or not, this one looks stunning. Auction is up to $3050 (Sat 9:30 MST). I put it on my eBay “Watch List” so I can see what it ultimately sells for.
Do you recognize that steering upgrade, Dave?
I think this was posted for sale awhile back. I think he used it to go to the boat marina. I think I commented about the relatively plain tires and wheels for such a fancy jeep?
Looks like a saginaw steering unit up front. I’d guess a GM steering column of some type.
I just saw this one at the auction in Palm Springs. Really nice job, didn’t get a chance to see the engine up close, but it looked like a nice job all around. It will be interesting to see what it closes at on eBay.

It’s 2021 and i’m the proud new owner of this jeep. I think it’s been passed down to atleast 2 other folks and i’m the third. Crazy how I ran into it on this site!
Does anyone know the original owner by any chance 😀
Hi SJ,
It sure looks like a good build. I hope you’ve been enjoying it!
Unfortunately, I don’t have a lead on who originally built it. It’s also been updated enough that if the original owner were still alive (if the original owner of this 1946 had been a 20 year old for example, they’d be 95 now), he/she might not recognize it anyway.
Enjoy your weekend,
– Dave
