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 .
This appears solid.

“Transmission and transfer case No motor Not sure on year 4 wheel drive”
This is a beautifully restored, rare model of fire jeep. There’s a little more information about this jeep here: https://cj3b.info/Fire/FireCJ2AConversions.html
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1649397055902639/
“This jeep is a product of a two year restoration. It is beautiful, I need to bleed brakes from sitting and needs to run some old gas out other than that it’s mint as you see in all the pics. Everything works on this beauty. Take it to the parades ,add it to your collection, or just drive your grandkids around when they’re.

Trade need to be worth a little more than cash price. Thanks for enjoying the pics”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/19/2023) I have called the seller of this CJ-2A a friend for over a decade. His 1948 CJ-2A Lefty includes numerous extras. Also included is a unique collection of literature, some of which I’ve never seen elsewhere. The seller was instrumental in provided a great deal of unique, early civilian documents.
This collection is in Europe, so for a European collector it is likely a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get all this at cost far below what it would take to ship (if you could find the equipment) from the US.
If you are interested, either leave a comment at the bottom or email me at d@deilers.com.

“1946 Willy’s Jeep CJ2A with title and tags. The seats and canvas top with doors are in a crate, also the engine is disassembled in a crate and appears to have been machined. I am in no hurry to sell it and I’m not hurting for money. I’m giving someone else the opportunity to own this and spend the time restoring it. $6,500 or best offer. ( For those of you who think this is a funny price, Or Best Offer means make a cash offer and then bring your trailer, you never know what price I’ll accept.)”
This has “dual hub extensions”, which is why the front end axle and wheels look extra wide.

“1946 Willys, Original Drivetrain. Has arctic cab hard top, also have original windshield frame. Front axle has Dual hub extensions, which were a somewhat rare option, they can be easily unbolted. Engine spins freely, I have not had it running in my time owning it. No title. I got it from an Iron Mine in Michigan. Too many projects, clearing yard,”
Not much value here.

“Good frame ,complete drivetrain , lots of parts ,no title as is , better deal than spending 2500 or more for a repro frame ! Messenger giving me fits so if you can’t get me there I’m also on craigs dsm under Willy’s .sorry no title”
This has a variety of mods. The seller’s son posted the ad. Jeep is located in northern cal (zip 95948) and not Orem, Utah.

“I’m ready to sell my 1947 cj2a now. I did a post a couple months ago to see about what it was worth, just so no one thinks it’s a scam, due to using the same pictures. Don’t know much about it. The guy that I got it from wanted to buy it back a year and a half or so ago for $2,150 but I didn’t want to sell it. I was going to use it as a bar/focal piece in my man cave. But I’m moving out of state now and just looking to sell. I’m not a mechanic so I can’t really tell you anything about it. I have the title. Located in sykesville Maryland. Asking $2,000 or best offer”

“1946 CJ2A. This jeep has been sitting in a shed for close to 30 years. Has some kind of a 4cylinder Chevy engine in it. But it’s not mounted. Transmission has Chevy adapter installed and is mounted to the engine. someone was trying to install a power steering rack in it but it doesn’t look safe and will need to be replaced. The jeep is in overall good condition. It’s straight has minimal rust, minus the rot in the storage compartment under the passenger seat. There is NO PAPERWORK, NO ID TAGS NO LICENSE PLATE seats and fuel tank are gone as well. sold as parts jeep only. Tires hold air but are 30+ years old. I’m throwing in A spare tire with stock rim, two L134 Willy’s jeep engines (both buildable) one has a 2wd transmission bolted to it incase you wanted to build some kinda 2wd rat rod jeep..?”
This looks pretty solid. I expect it has an f-head.

One is parts and the other runs. Both have Desert Dogs, but they are in poor shape.

“2 1942 jeep willys. One complete and runs . Needs more work. The other is gathered parts enough to make a hole jeep. Have title. No venmo”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,900.
This looks in good shape.
“The Jeep CJ models are a series of open bodied off-road vehicles built and sold by several successive incarnations from 1945 to 1986. In fact, the 1945 model was the world’s first mass produced 4 wheel drive vehicle for civilian use. As a result the CJ stands for Civilian Jeep.
In 1946 it was equipped with the L34 134ci Flathead 4 cylinder which was nicknamed the “Go Devil” that is mated to a column shifted Borg Warner T90 3 speed manual transmission. This sweet Jeep is also equipped with 3 very rare options making it extremely desirable which are the front tow bar, the rear draw bar (hitch) and the rear bumper mounted Power Take-Off (PTO) which was designed to drive equipment mounted at the rear of the vehicle through a shaft drive assembly. It is also used to drive trailered equipment, operate belt driven machines and shaft driven winches.
Looks like a solid jeep, though it has some kind of starting issue.

“1946 CJ-2A Willys Jeep all original other than electrical has been updated to 12v and wheels replaced engine and transmission in good shape has a fuel system problem but will start and drive around issue is probably just user error”
This appears to be built atop a later frame (and chassis?).

“For sale is a 1947 Willys CJ2A,
Serial number 105348
The bad , body pretty rough but I’ve certainly seen much worse , motor bad I’m assuming as the previous owner pulled the plugs and then neglected to put ‘em back. I’m gonna mess with the motor and see if I can get it turning over. They most always will run if they turn over and have compression. But for all intents and purposes and purposes I’d say this one will need a rebuild.
The good , jeep has a very respectable frame under it somehow (see pics). Very nice frame with hat channels still intact and frame rails look pretty good
Jeep has what looks to be an early Newgren Three Point Hitch assembly on it
After doing some research and talking with some buddies that know more about the newgrens than I do it seems this one is early judging by the belt driven pump , and engine bay reservoir , control valve between seats. Ram is present and looks decent , it didn’t have adjusters and lift arms when I got it but have since made some for another Newgren I have and will include a very nice set of lift arm adjusters and Arms made better if anything than the originals as a lot of the Newgren stuff was pretty crude right from the get go.
Jeep also has a nice original Scheneker plow setup on it and blade included
Great candidate for a frame up restoration with motor rebuild or refurbish the Newgren for another jeep and start with the rolling frame.
I have other Willys PTO equipment to turn this one into a farm Jeep if desired for additional cost
I’m valuing the jeep at about what The Three point hitch assemblies have been bringing, with a good rolling frame , plow setup etc as I just sold a large collection of them
I can send additional pics if needed and I have another good hood to go with it as this one is shot
No title but will include a state of CT Bill of Sale etc
Located in Storrs CT
PM me for more info or to come get it , too many projects going
$3500
860 428 3265”
Sounds like a project.
