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 .

(08/19/2014) Is that a patch or a smal door on the driver’s side rear quarter panel?

(08/07/2014) It sounds like it might be a project.

(10/15/2012) Appears worth a look at this price.
“I have a 1948 Willys Cj2A. It has an enclosed metal cab(koenig). It is a 4 cylinder, 3 speed, 4wd. Starts and drives, excellent machinical condition. Does not have a heater. Speedometer glass is missing. The plow works. Some holes in floor and frame cracks as noted in pictures. It is running off of a aux. fuel tank in the bed. Four extra mounted tires included.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Looks solid. It’s got the wrong grille for a ’46, but that’s minor.
“Own a piece of postwar history! This restored CJ2-A is ready to parade the streets of your neighborhood. I have been the curator of this rolling museum for over a decade and due to some recent life changes, it is now time to pass the baton. As with any old Jeep there is always something to tinker with; but this Willys is road ready. Please call or text with questions. Thank you for looking.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Seller’s description looks thorough.
“Up for auction is a 1948 Willys CJ2A “Universal” Jeep. It starts every time with a simple pull on the choke and a twist of the key, even after sitting for months and moves on down the road like it should. This is a joy to take for a ride and always turns heads and gets honks and waves. The only reason I am letting it go is I need the garage space and I couldn’t abide keeping it outdoors, even for a night.
When I purchased it from the family of the original owner recently, the vehicle had undergone an almost complete restoration including painting of the body, frame and motor, replacement of the wiring harness, new vinyl on the seats and new rubber on the wheels. It retains its original motor and transmission. Additionally an overdrive kit was added. It was repainted in its original Luzon Red with Universal Beige trim.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
“New upholstery and bikini top. Complete tune up, all original parts in motor
4cylinder 6 volt. Motor has been overhauled.”
Looks solid and stock. Has small amount of hat channel rust.
“For sale is by far the nicest most solid original Willys I’ve ever owned. This would be an excellent candidate for a restoration project because sheet metal work would be minimal. I included a pic of the worst rust in the Jeep in the hat channel under the fuel tank. It starts, runs, drives and stops great. It still has the original 6 volt charging system. The steering is still tight. The brakes work great and the fuel tank is brand new. I would call it 95% original and had to be stored inside most of its life. I tried to leave the body alone so you can see what you are getting. Clean TN title in my name. $4700 Serious calls only please no texts.”

UPDATE: Still Available
(01/14/2013) This might be worth a look, since I don’t see too much rust. I like the upgraded data plates: duct tape with black ink.
“This is a old 46 CJ2A motor ran when parked in shed over 8 years ago. It is not seized. Tires are junk but are there to roll the jeep onto a trailer. Comes with an extra set of gears body needs work.”

At #36000, this is just early enough to have a column shift.
“1946 Jeep CJ2A Willy’s Overland universal, rare column shift. The CJ2A was the first civilian jeeps (CJ) ever sold and the column shift was only produced for a short time. This jeep has been partially restored, runs great, canvas top, stock condition. Needs paint. Check NADA Guides.com. More pictures upon request. $7500 firm.”
http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/4613255472.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
The motor runs. It’s early enough to have rear hubs. But, it’s rough.
“for sale very early 1946 CJ2A column shift jeep. runs body is shot. frame tag is on inner rail like a 1945 numbers say it is 1946, I assume it is from the first month poss the first week of 1946.

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/4609018419.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
(08/08/2014) It doesn’t run, but looks like it has restoration potential.
“1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep complete and in original condition perfect for restoration, was stored for over 20 years. The engine turns free but not currently running asking $2000 obo for more information please call
I don’t anything that suggests this is a 1945 2A. The windshield looks more like an MB/GPW than cj. Has rear PTO.
“Cleaning yard must sell has f134 and overdrive extra parts body lift”

It’s a project. I have great memories of Hayden in the summer.
