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 .

Running when parked . . . Seller has this listed as a 1942, but it’s more likely a 1946 CJ-2A.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
(10/17/2012) The year and VIN don’t match on this. It seems to be a mix of a few different jeeps.
“This is 1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep with a WWII Willys MB motor, Serail # MB393830, casting 638632W2A A 3-80. The jeep is running and has a clear title. I bought this jeep because it has a WWII Willys MB motor in it. I have WWII Jeeps and intended to use it as a spare (it runs perfect, no smoke and good oil pressure). My plan was to pull the WWII motor, rebuild one of the motors I had from CJ2A’s, install it and then sell the jeep. Time marches on and I eventually found another motor that I could use as a spare. The CJ2A comes with 2 motors,, Serial # CJ2A33837 (which is a 1946; the previous owner of this motor was doing a valve job and that’s how I got it))and Serial # U48485; both turn freely and are early production (still have the oval pad); extra radiator; spare tire and mount; column shift transmission (see photo of inside, it looks really good and turns smoothly) and transfer case (this was entire drivetrain was married to the CJ2A 33837 motor); early soft top and some bows (never tried it on); extra parts; very original (i.e. right windshield, seats); no bondo, but has had sheet metal replaced (I think the side steps look cool); it has a WO 636 12 patent carb and Oakes air cleaner. I redid the brakes last year and it has a new exhaust. The seats will need to be reupholstered, but I believe that they are original, backs and seats have springs. It has your typical drips but runs and shifts fine… it’s 66 years old. It has 2 of the three original data plates on the dash (like that when I bought it). It has a T-90 transmission, but I’m guessing it origianlly had a column shifter. Currently, it is setup for 12v. It is titled as a 1947 CJ2A, that was how I got it. . . ”

The starting bid on this is $18,000. It is about 90% done according to the seller. The parts looks in good condition, but note the 2nd picture, which suggests the wires are running over the frame and, possibly, under the hat channel. I’m thinking this is a problem.

UPDATE: Still Available
(04/22/2012) This is a good looking jeep, tough the engine compartment and engine isn’t as nice as the rest of it.
“This 1948 Willys-Overland CJ2AJeep was restored in 2003 using only original equipment. All work was done by a professional mechanic. Parts alone for this restoration exceeded $5000. Everything works! It looks and runs great. Stays in the shop when not being driven & has a Bikini Top. NADA book value for one in “High Retail” condition is $20,500. This Willys comes very close to their definition for that value.
A list of work done including receipts is available.”
