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: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Looks promising.

The 2A appears to be a VEC, but it looks more like a ’46.
“1945 & 53 Willy’s Jeeps For Sale / B.O. for both. (No splitting them up).
1945 is the one with the top/plow and is pretty much complete. The other is the 53, this one is pretty much a parts unit. Both Jeep’s need lots of work, but if you’re a Jeep fanatic they are diamonds in the ruff. Both are extremely hard to find, so no lowballing. . . ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(01/03/2012) It runs.
“1946 CJ2A Jeep with a 4 cylinder F4-134 Hurricane engine. The engine runs great and the drive train is in good condition. It was drivable when I parked it some time ago, but now needs master cylinder work. I do start the engine monthly, I do have some extra parts, transmission, front drive shaft and extra tires. This would be a great restoration or crawler project and is fun in the desert..”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1200.
(05/09/2015) Maybe some parts value?

UPDATE: Still Available.
(05/12/2015) This appears to have a DJ body, but the serial number is marked as 263130, which is quite a bit larger than the latest CJ-2A serial number (224764) listed on the CJ-2A site.

“1949 is the year of the fewest CJ2A flat fender jeeps. This Willys Jeeps appears to be the first of the DJ (Dispatch Jeep) ever made…it has a rear fuel tank instead of under the seat…it also has easy entry/exit side panel…my guess is the dispatches were stored under the seat & the side panels were removed because couriers would have to get in & out a lot…I put bucket high back seats because comfort was important because I use this old girl every day it doesn’t rain…
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5800.

(06/03/2015) Nice looking jeep, but I’m surprised the dash plate wasn’t more creatively installed.

“1946 Jeep Willy’s project. Motor(L-134), trans(T-90) and transfer case(dana spicer 18) is good. Currently putting all new seals and bearings in transmission and transfer case. Was running when I started taking it apart for a restoration. Drivetrain/ Engine is stripped of rust/dirt and painted. I have old body that could be reused but is in rough shape. Frame is in good shape, needs cleaned up. I do not have a title, can give bill of sale. Would Be Willing to trade for a Jon boat, 50-100 hp outboard engine, or make cash offer. I have alot of time and money into this, I know I’ll never get that out of it but I’m not giving it away. Please make reasonable offer. Dont need to sell, just have other projects i would rather put the money into. Great father and son project, easy to work on and best of all… Most of the hard work is done!”
