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 .

” have owned this jeep since late 2013. It’s been garage kept. When I got it it had a blown f134 motor installed and sat until 2020 when I installed an other motor in. I found the t90 to be bad and had installed a running working t84 from a military mb. It’s running driving and braking. I did have a Holley 1904 carb on and installed a wanna be version. I seems to a little lean when it warms up. So needs to have vacuum lines looked at and PVC valve hooked up. I will be taking front windshield for my gpw. And I can provide a very rough 43 windshield but frame is good. It does not have any registration as it drove around my ranch with no intention of being on road. It has no data plates or license on frame or tub. Will come with the soft top as I really want to keep for my 43, but if the price is low for pick up I will remove top and all mounting hardware. Has no title or pink slip. Asking 3800 obo as a perfect ranch jeep or good start to someone’s rusted out tub.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(02/15/2023) Looks in pretty good shape. Includes an overdrive and PTO? I see a pic with the PTO, but no sign of the OD.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1924927004526748
“46 Willies CJ2A. 231 V6. New battery, radiator, carburetor, ignition, headlights, fuel tank, and fuel lines with filters. Runs great. Has been in doors for many years.

Unclear how much value is here. No description was provided.

I think the seller’s reference to “Rare 2 gear transfer case” is actually the Warn OD.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/579446177391101
“1946 Willy’s CJ2A – Fully restored nut to bolt restoration; any panels that needed to be replaced were swapped from a donor car of same year & model – 100 miles since rebuild the rest of the time it’s been stored in a climate controlled storage facility (Facebook won’t let you list anything with under 300 miles hence the discrepancy above) – Rare 2 gear transfer case – Comes with poles for canvas top but not with canvas Price – $16,500”
This was priced much higher, but it is now what appears to be a good price.

“Willy CJ-2A 1948 runs drives needs some TLC have all the replacement parts 4X4 cash no trades have a car cover for it… runs and brakes… title in hand.”

The steps have been modified.
