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 .
The top is unusual, maybe custom?

This looks to be a CJ-2A column shift drivetrain topped with a MB/GPW body. I suspect the drain holes were added later. The front bumper is odd.
“1946 WILLYS CJ2A, VIN NO. CJ2A30868A, this is an early column shift, it has what appears to be a WWII composite body, a jeep guy told me that he thought they used left over WWII jeep body parts on very early CJs. It could be, as it has the CJ factory drain holes in the sides, the glove box opening shows no lid or box ever being installed, the rear tool boxes show no signs of ever having a lid installed. Maybe someone can verify that information.
The previous owner stated the engine was rebuilt, it starts quick, runs smooth and does not smoke and has 25-30 psi oil pressure.
Has been changed over to 12 volt electrics with alternator, windshield wiper, turn signals, stop lights, headlights, electric fuel pump.
Starts, drives and stops, new gas tank, 4 wheel drive works good, transmission works, but nosy in 1st and reverse and sometimes hard to shift (you can’t shift fast), second and third is quiet and shifts smooth, steering is tight and holds good running down the road, did not jump out of second, suspension is pretty quiet and it has like new tires that are balanced. Roll bar is bolted on, so removing would be easy. It has indoor carpet, but appears to have no rust through.
Just registered (has black sticker which means it has no liability ins.) and new correct title will be in this week.
It is ready to go play and not worry about messing up the rattle can paint job (so it would be one color, not several). The seats are after market, but easier to get in/out and have more belly room.”

“1946 CJ-2A
-Original Motor turns over freely and had it sputtering, but probably needs the carb cleaned / replaced.
-Axles look like they are from an early 70’s cj.
-Body is rough, but salvageable. Definitely needs a good amount of repair.
-Frame looks good, no major work needed.
-Transmission is locked up from sitting, but transfer case seems good.”
I’m guessing this is most likely a CJ-2A, but I can’t tell for sure. Auction is Saturday, July 20.

“I have a super clean 1948 CJ2A Jeep for sale. This is a “lefty” version. That means the spare tire unlike most all other Jeeps from this era is mounted on the drivers side. Willys produced less than 100,000 of these “lefty” models and are pretty hard to find. It has 5 new (never run) Firestone NDT tires with blasted, primed, painted rims, tailgate and spare windshield frame. Also, just installed a new EverStart MAX battery. The 4 wheel drive all works. The radiator is solid, NO leaks. All gauges work. It is 100% bone stock original. The underbody “hat channels” are rusty but does not affect the driveability. It also does have some other minor rusty spots as most of the old Jeeps do. It was running great until recently when the oil pump decided to quit. It will need a new oil pump ($150.00) and she’ll be back running. The brakes will also need reworking. I did install a new (model correct) fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel sender, filter and fuel lines. That is all in perfect working condition. This is a super solid Jeep that just needs some minor TLC to be rolling again. It has not been hacked on or butchered up. I’m in the process of moving and have no place for it. I am trying to get the title but no guarantees. I am in contact with the original owner, he’s trying to help me get the title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800.
The sides of this are a little rough.
” On basis of www.oldcarsreport.com (August 2012) in “good” condition.
• A drivable vehicle needing no work to be functional
• Haven’t used 4 wheel drive, only 2 wheel drive.
• Previous owner added roll-bar, good military tires (only about 2,500 miles in last 7 years), headlights and turn signals, and bucket seats.
• Present owner had generator rebuilt; starts great.
• Driven May — November; stored inside during winter
• Needs a new speedometer (works at low speed)”
Looks solid, but can’t tell a lot from the picture.

It runs with F-head.
“1948 CJ2A with newer F head 4 cylinder motor 3 speed manual trans. LT225/75R16 BF Goodrich mud terrain tires with 90% tread on them. Soft top. Engine needs some work but does run.
An ad for a 1946 CJ-2A referenced the following article from the July issue of Automobile Magazine. I expect this will fill a variety of CJ-2A sellers with visions of value where there might not be any. They assign a value of $12,500 to $20,000 for a restored CJ-2A and $12,000 to $18,000 for a restored CJ-3A. What they neglect to mention is how difficult it is to find a properly restored 2A or 3A.
