About eWillys
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.
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 .

(02/13/2017) Seller notes this was used in an episode called Swamp, part of the Dirty Rotten Survival series on the National Geographic channel.
“1946 Willys Jeep. This jeep was in a National Geograpic Movie, call Dirty Rotten Survival, swamped.
It was filmed down south in the swamps. I have the lease agreement and video of delivery of jeep.
My dad did a frame off restoration on this jeep 7 or 8 yrs ago. It runs like new. Everything is rebuilt or new. Has original 4 cyliner jeep engine. Asking 15k or best offer.”
“All original except it has been converted to a 12 volt electric system.
It is in very good overall condition. Very low mileage.
There is no rust, the paint is in very good condition and it drives.
Its been kept in a garage most of its life, a true barn find.
Current California registration”
Tom’s selling his CJ-2A. He would consider a trade for a stock 1945 CJ-2A or some other kind of unique CJ-2A
“I have decided to list my 46 CJ2A for sale. It is a recent restoration. I have driven the jeep less than 50 miles since finishing. All body work and paint was professionally done by a custom rod shop. Body is Pasture Green as it was in 1946. New items include:
NDT Tires
Brake System
Wiring Harness (6V system)
Exhaust System
Side steps
Fuel Tank
Seat covers and cushions
This CJ2A also has a keyed coil. Started and generator have been rebuilt. All lights and gauges work. Jeep starts, runs, drives, and stops as it should. Motor was completely overhauled and is a quiet, tight motor. Transmission was worked over and shifts well. This is not a museum piece, but it is a solid rig. Price is $13,000. Clean IN title in my name. Jeep is located in Haubstadt, IN 47639. I would consider some sort of trade deal for a stock 1945 CJ2A or another CJ2A that is in original condition and has some unique features/options. Thank you for looking!”

“Restored ’48 CJ2A Willys Jeep original drive train with Warn Overdrive and front lockout hubs 12 volt electrical with turn signals solid rust free body everything works needs nothing.”
“I got a fully restored 1946 CJ2A with 5200 miles on since the restoration. Everything is either new or been redone 5yrs ago. It has the hurricane 4cylinder flat head with the three spd tranny in it. I’ve got about 16k invested. Looking to get $9800 obo.”
“Complete frame off restoration on 1946 CJ2A. This is an early column shift. Jeep was taken down to bare metal for a complete nut and bolt restoration. Absolutely every bit of rust was removed. Engine, transmission, differentials, transfer case, brakes etc were all rebuild. New brake lines, new everything.
We used every non wear part and sourced original Willy’s/Jeep parts we could to keep it as original as possible. Correct pasture green color with hand painted wheel stripe just as it was when it came out of Willy’s. I have pictures of the restoration process. This auction includes hard to find rear PTO and Drum pulley implement. Soft top was hand made and includes original top bow set and doors with window surrounds. Your going to be hard pressed to find a finer example of an early 2A. Serious offers only this price is extremely fair and well under what was spent to restore.”
The soft top does’n have the snaps on the body to which it needs to attach. Has a column shifter.
“Nice clean 46 Willys Jeep. Solid. Runs good. So much potential. See this one at Country Classic Cars in Staunton Illinois. Over 600 Vehicles here come on out and see for yourself”

“1947 Original Willys Jeep 4×4
CJ-2A was the first civilian jeep after WWII.
It was running but it hasn’t been started in awhile so would need a new battery.
Right front tire would have to be replaced, has a spare tire.”
“1948 jeep in original untouched condition….3 speed..4wd…has the rear PTO and a front factory weight..53,000 original miles.. runs and drives perfect..
calls only-”
(01/04/2019) This appears worth a look. The price includes the trailer.
“Up for sale is my 1948 Willy’s Jeep. This Jeep runs and drives great. I recently installed a soft top, which is included in the sale. Also included is the matching bantam trailer.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $12,000. You can see this lift in action at the beginning of this video (thanks to Harmen for point it out):
(02/04/2019) Interesting lift. Maybe a more advanced version of the Farm-Aide lift? You can compare this one to some others: http://farmjeep.com/lifts.html … There might be a data plate on the right side near the pivot.
“Restored a few years ago, with only 23 miles put onto it since then. Yes, 23 miles.
-Body was removed and professionally painted
-Engine was professionally rebuilt. Full tear down and rebuild
-Has factory installed 3 point hydraulic hitch
-Comes with plow attachment
-New brake cylinders and new brakes
-Converted to 12volt
-Currently non-opted with $0 back DMV fees
-Comes with original owner’s manual
-New tires
After WW2, Willys started to produce vehicles that could be multi-purpose. They wanted to build a truck that could complete with a tractor on the farm, so there were a bunch of factory options you could order the truck with.
This one has a factory installed hydraulic lift on the back. This was so you could pull a plow ( which comes with the truck ) or any number of other accessories. It could be disconnected if desired though.
The Jeep also comes with the rear seats and tailgate which could be installed if the hydraulic hitch is removed. “
The price is listed at $25,000, but it sounds like the seller will take offers.
