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 priced at $1650.
It’s been sitting a long time.
“1948 Willys CJ2A all Iowa barn find Missouri title. Jeep has been sitting for 30 years so its not up and running but all original and complete. Was going to be a rebuild project but I only have room for one of the two I have.”
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
This is a one family owned CJ-2A bought new in San Francisco. It’s a column shift. It appears solid. It has an Allstate Half Top.
“This is a 1946 CJ2A that was purchased new by my Grandfather in mid 1946 in San Francisco. It was his only vehicle up until the early 60’s when he bought a Simca which was easier on my Grandmother to get in and out of. I have owned it for 25 years and it last ran 10 years ago when I put in a fresh Carb and a new gas tank. I drove it up under the canopy at my auto restoration shop and it is still there. The engine is NOT stuck and should be easy to start. It is a very easily restorable vehicle and is one of the rare jeeps with the 3 speed shift on the column. Jeep went back to all shifts on the floor later in the model year. The Sears Allstate cab was installed in the early 50’s and I have the original canvas doors as well as some of the rest of the canvas coverings. I also have the original sales contract that will go with the Jeep. I have long wanted to restore this for myself, since I learned to drive on it. However, I have come to the realization that there will never be the money for me to do it, and my son really has no interest in it or a place to keep it when it is done, so it is time to get it into the hands of someone that will re-do it and enjoy it. Pretty much any and all parts that might be needed are available.
Payment will be $100 deposit paid with PayPal within 48 hours of the end of the auction. The remainder needs to be paid with cash or CC within 30 days of the end of the auction. I can keep it right where it sits for 6 months with no charge to you, and if you are not able to handle the restoration yourself, we might discuss my doing it for you. To see what I do, go to buzzardroostmotors.com . Feel free to call me, at 870-421-1693 days or 870-425-8507 evenings to ask any questions you might have. My web site has all my contact info and my email address so you can ask for more pics if you want. I can deliver the Jeep anywhere in the US for $1.25 per mile one way. I am in north central Arkansas.”
It runs and drives.
“1946 Willys CJ2A. Runs and drives and 4wd works. Flat head 4 cylinder and 3 speed. All original. Clear Arkansas title. Has some rust and needs new battery. $2200.00 OBO. No Trades. Email me.”

UPDATE: Back on eBay
(04/19/2013) Not perfect, but runs and drives.
“This 1947 Willy’s Jeep has a lot to offer. The mechanical aspects of the jeep are in great working order. The engine starts easily and performs normally, the transmission shifts normally; the transfer case and four-wheel drive components perform normally. The body is in above average condition but has had some previous patching. The paint I would classify as weak and to make it really nice would need to be sandblasted and repainted. The winch functions normally and has easy inside controls. The tires are in good condition and should provide a lot of great service.”

UPDATE: Back on eBay. Also on Craigslist.
“Heres a great 1946 Jeep Willys CJ2A. I found this in a barn north of Sacramento, Where it sat for many years. It has the old black and yellow plates. I dont know much else about it.I have used it to drive around Lake Tahoe, and have maybe put 100 miles on it since i’ve owned it. It is mostly stock i believe,with the exception of the seats, that someone added later. It starts right up and drives really really well.The brakes are soft, so it probably needs a brake job.It also drips some oil i think from the rear seal. The only rust i can find is a small spot on passenger floor, about the size of a quarter. Also i’m not sure if the windshield is original,it came with two of them (different styles), so the buyer will get both you see in the pics. It is located in Lake Tahoe, CA.”

I’m wondering if they are running a side shift T-90 or a Ford Toploader with the Pinto engine.
“1946 Willys Jeep. Previous owner replaced the original flathead engine with a rebuilt Ford 2.3L 4cyl. Pinto engine. Runs fine, 60 psi oil pressure. The rest of the the drivetrain and suspension is original. The entire brake system has been replaced/rebuilt except for the hardware on the wheels. I have new brake shoes for it, just not the springs, adjusters, etc. The original fuel tank is missing so I have a small gas can in it now that works for starting and running, and I’m including a 12 gal. fuel cell I bought new but never instaled. Front seats need to be replaced. Body is in great shape for a Jeep this old with no major flaws. Basicly a good Jeep that needs a little work.”

WOW! Doug just spotted this early VEC. It is listed as a 1945 and looks wonderfully stock, with full floaters, column shift, three data tags and (I think) square bolt heads on the windshield.
This may be worth a look.
