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 .
This looks like a solid refurb.

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.

(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: **SOLD** Was $9500

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.
“1947 willies jeep , engine block in back,transmission still in place $4300 obo sold with bill of sale”

This VEC has a V-8 installed in it.
“Up for sale is a great restoration project. 1946 willys cj2a. It has a clean tittle and current reg in my name. It has it’s fair share of bumps and bruises but it is a driver and could be a daily driver if you want it to be. All stock running gear except for the engine. 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.”

Seller will not break this up. It is a package sale.
“I have a 1946 CJ2a (#77xxx) for sale that was purchased as a parts jeep for its L134 engine. Unfortunately the block has a crack that probably isn’t repairable and I have moved on to another engine. The previous owner had disassembled the jeep and grown tired of the project. I have grouped this jeep along with a 69′ buick 225 and a spare Dana 41 rear axle as a package deal. (seller provides more details in the ad).”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
This needs some work.
“I have a 1948 willys jeep. I bought this jeep last august to fix up and drive and as a hunting wagon. the jeep does run and their is no slack in the transmission, I have started it and drove around my pasture. The tires are in good shape, the slave cylinder is froze up and the fuel tanks probably need to be replaced. But overall it’s a very nice jeep. Wouldn’t take much to fix it up and make a very nice lil vechile.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
(12/26/2012) This looks good. It has the aftermarket clamps that someone said are from a porsche?
“1948 willys original excellent condition runs great goes anywhere”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
I love look of the motor, but less so the hole in the hood. This includes a winch. This would go quickly on the mainland.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400.
No brakes and the drain holes have been patched, but it runs.
“1946 Willys CJ2a…almost all of the original parts are there (missing the original gauge cluster and windshield has been replaced) with the body in fair shape. I have an old Oregon title to it which could possible be used to get a new one. It had been used as a hunting vehicle on a lease for several years. Ready for a restore!
Pros
Engine runs
Transmission shifts fine
Transfer case works good
Hubs lock and unlock as they should
Most original parts there
Cons
Master cylinder is froze up, so no brakes
Engine smokes”
The motor runs. This might have some parts value if nothing else. The body has been patched.
“I am selling my Jeep because I just have not had time to play with it. The Jeep does run and has a flat head 4 cylinder motor. Jeep is not drive-able due to the linkage is not connect at this time. I have to many original extra parts to list and all are included. Floor pans and rust on the side of the body has already been repaired. For the age of the Jeep it is in pretty good shape. It is missing a windshield. To the best of my knowledge everything else is present. I am asking $1200 or best offer. Please call me if you have additional questions”

(02/28/2013) This doesn’t look like a ’46 to me. There may be value here.
