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 $2500.
It runs, but needs work. Has some useful upgrades.

Needs more than paint, seats and tires. Windshield needs work, parking lights missing, dash incomplete, and more.

This looks real nice, but some of the decisions surprise me, such as not having the transmission plate cover installed.
“Vin # CJ2A63505. This Willy’s is in excellent condition and the under carriage looks as good as the rest of the Jeep. The restoration was done about 8 years ago by the previous owner who lived in California. The original engine has been replaced with a 1970’s 231 odd fire V6 Buick engine. Since the restoration it has only had about 200 miles put on it. This Willy’s has an all steel body not aluminum or fiberglass knock off.”

“THIS IS NOT LIKE 95% OF THE WILLY’S JEEPS YOU FIND AROUND HERE! ARIZONA JEEP WITH NO RUST!!!!
I brought it here when I moved from Phoenix and it’s been in storage ever since. It’s in great shape but engine needs rebuilding (low compression). I’ve discribed it in more detail below. If you are reading this it is still available, I will delete the ad the moment someone buys it.
I’ve owned, played, and worked on it over the 15 or so years. This jeep has had a frame off rebuild, stored inside and over the years I’ve put a lot of time and money into it, best guess about 10,000+. Relax, I know I’m not going to get that out of it, I’m just looking for best offer, possibly $4500 cash or $7500 trade. I am open to discussions on all fair trades but I will not discuss a lower cash price without showing the Jeep to you first, THIS IS A MUST SEE. (more info on Craigslist)”
UPDATE: Was $975. **SOLD**
It’s very original, except for the seats, the steering wheel, the gauges, the rear lights, etc . . . . The price isn’t too bad though.

UPDATE: Was $6500. **SOLD**

UPDATE: Was $2500. **SOLD**
It’s not perfect, and doesn’t start, but for the price this is worth a look. The rear bumper is a little odd.
“Selling my 46 willys jeep cj2a, never get to drive it any more so it needs to go. Was running just fine but now wont start, probabaly an electrical issue or coil. Jeep is a very early 1946 vin# 19xxx. Has a really good body, has an F head motor out of a cj3b with an new after market carburator.”
This jeep is dismantled. The pictures shows what it looked like before being taken apart.

(02/01/2013) Rob’s selling this 1947 CJ-2A. It runs and drives, but is not currently licensed. He is selling as a parts vehicle.
“Not-So-Fine Print:
Although Flat-Fenders’ are always a treat to look at and play with, this vehicle is 66 years old and is not advised for road use. It is not registered in CA so please bring a trailer for pickup. Its condition is commensurate with a life spent in the wilds of Montana and Nevada. Potential concerns include, but are not limited to: Dents, rust, leaks, worn transmission syncros, noisy throw-out bearing, and an inoperable fuel gauge. I recently purchased this Jeep as a parts vehicle, have completed my tasks, and it is being sold as such and as is.
Separately Available: Brand-New-In-Box Full Bestop 3A Soft Top with Doors, Rear (Back) Seat, CJ-2A Split Windshield, Tow Bar, and Two Mounted Jeep Jerry Gas Cans.”

UPDATE: Was $4300.
Given the windshield appears broken, the engine block is in the back, lack of bumper, etc, I’m thinking more like $1000 for this.

“Up for sale is a great restoration project. 1946 willys cj2a. It has a clean tittle and current reg in my name.

It has a 283 small block chevy with a adapter to the 3 speed and rare factory overdrive. You can drive it 55 no problem. It is a project but it is a driver as well. Also has a old all aluminum arctic top for the winter. All lights blinkers and gauges work as well. All new brakes too.”
