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: **Status Unknown** Was $3200
(08/17/2010) This is mostly stock.
“1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A 4×4. This jeep is almost complete original, including the motor, transmission, transfer case, and axles. This is a cool little toy, or a great start on a restoration project. It runs like a sewing machine, and will climb, go through or go around anything. It is 64 years old and in good condition for its age. Must take a ride to appreciate. Serious buyers only, cash, and no trades.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2650
(08/17/2009) Here’s a later ’46 CJ-2A with some updates.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $1000
(05/18/2011) This is listed as a 1948 CJ-2A, but it has a DJ-3A bumper and body at the very least. It might be on a CJ-2A frame, as it does have 4wd.
“I have a 1948 Willy’s that I am forced to part with after putting lots of effort into it. The VIN plate is good and therefore easily titled. I can provide a Bill of Sale.
The front and rear end were totally rebuilt with new gears, seals and bearings. The engine runs strong after a tune up, and newly rehabbed starter. All cylinders have good compression. Clutch is functions enough to move the Jeep around the yard as you can see. So considered it drivable enough to get it up on a trailer under its own power.
The body is the problem. Not shown is the hood in standard condition. The center seam needs work. But the hood is included. The floors are gone.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This has a few issues, but the body appears solid.

UPDATE: Price dorpped to $150.
(07/06/2011) It comes with a decent looking Desert Dog. Maybe there’s some scrap value.

(02/21/2011) What is going on here?
“1946 Willys Jeep. project, not running, most everything there. Slant 6 engine. body is complete and not heavily rusted. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Check out the the bulges in the entry points on both the passenger and driver’s sides. Somehow the body or entire frame & body have been bent down in the center. Add to this strange issue is the claim this rig only has 17k miles or so. Then there are the modified steps and modified gas tank inlet. I’d run the other direction on this one.

(03/27/2011) This is pretty rough. I suspect it doesn’t run.

(06/22/2011)This has the expanded windshield modification.
“This is a 1947 Jeep with 283 1957 chevy engine 4 barrel Holy carb w/ Holly intake manifold all Mallory ignition w/Optimun battery, w/new lock outs, body repainted in 2010,US Marine Corps theme W/Decals Related to the Corps.

http://joplin.craigslist.org/cto/1805527360.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000. The seller claims this is all original, which isn’t true (hood bumps, front bumper, rear mounted tire, windshield … just for starters).
(10/19/2009) Though it’s got one missing, I like the round hood bumps.
“I have 46 all original willys jeep, nice runs good. Has new tires and rims tires are wild country 95% tread. Front seats have been redone. no top needs new wind shield, asking 5000 because all original is something to have, this jeep is an awesome hunting rig.”

I think this has a fiberglass body. To me, the rim around the edge looks wider than normal.
“Hi I have for sale a 48 willys cj2 has a clean Oregon title a cage complete front clip has original running gear as far as we know but it has a spring over done.
