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 .
I suspect this engine is built. This has a fiberglass one-piece front end.

“Early civilian Willys Jeep in rough shape. Parts, project, wall art, yard art, Rat, the choice is yours. Has rust holes but it’s not a salty rot box. Floors have been patched all around. What you see is what I have. No title. Might be able to help with that for expenses,but you would need to help me confirm year and model and serial location correctly so I don’t have it wrong. Not sure of the exact model or year built. I know it’s the internet but please don’t roast me. I’m a Ford/Mopar/GM guy LOL.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $10,000.
(05/25/2021) Is there a little rust along the driver’s side? I can’t tell for sure.

“***I am helping a friend sell this, please be patient and I will answer questions as I am able to relay them and get a response*** VIN: 38222 1946 Jeep Willys CJ2A 77 year old vehicle in fantastic condition has minor dings here and there but no major dents or damage to body or frame. Has some surface rust on undercarriage as shown. Needs a little TLC and can be a great winter project. Starts every time, but can be a little touchy with a one barrel carburetor. Numbers matching engine, original dash information tags included. Mostly original except basic maintenance items. Also unsure about the paint being original. Unlikely, unless the paint is very faded because research suggests the factory blue would’ve been much darker. New battery in 2019, whole fuel system replaced, fuel filter, fuel tank all done by Hubbell’s Auto Repair in Marion, IA. Had professional welder check over undercarriage and did frame brace welding work. Factory storage bin under passenger seat was professionally refabricated and welded by the same welder and he did a great job. Factory bikini top included. Originally 6V converted to 12V prior“
UPDATE: Still Available.
(12/24/2022) This has a variety of mods.

“Has a 4 core aluminum radiator, 77 Buick 231 even fire, Muncie Sm 420 4 speed transmission, original transfer case and axils 2 inch lift springs, front disc brakes, power steering, has some rust, needs a master cylinder and a little electrical work, runs good. Mainly needs cosmetic. Clean title”
Interesting sun shade on front of the windshield. The sticker in the back driver’s side corner suggests this was a California jeep at one time.

“My grandfather restored the jeep in the early 80’s. Runs great.”
Listed as a 1945, It appears later than that. No description provided.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/278182401622206
UPDATE: **Still Avaialble**
The 1945 has the correct windshield and rear free floating hubs for a 1945 model. The other is likely later than 1945.

“Turn key (then push the floor button) Willy’s. On the road and driven. Looking to TRADE. Looking for a compact backhoe/loader like a terramite or similar. Lots of work done to this but it’s not a show jeep. All metal and super solid. Could use a bit of tinkering but I drive it a few times a week. Not looking to sell but would entertain offers over 10k”
Unclear how much value is here given potential tub work. The serial number would put this as a very late ’46.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1017363972728745
“1946 Willys CJ2a. Has clean title and tags. S/N: 82,XXX. Open to trades. Tub needs work. Engine in pieces and missing intake/exhaust and maybe some other parts. Lots of new parts.

Grant forwarded this ad for a VEC 2A. Unclear how much value is here4. I’ve never heard these referred to as “General’s Jeeps”.

(11/01/2022) This has an early 2A grille, so maybe not a late model 2A or a 3A with a 2A grille? It does have updates.
