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: Was priced at $600. This has a PTO. **SOLD**
(04/29/2012) The body has been patched, but this still may be restorable.
“1946 Willys CJ2A, the first year for the CJ Jeep. Mostly original body with lots of rust and patches. L134 engine, does crank over, but needs head gasket (antifreeze in oil). Brakes and clutch not working. My grandfather owned this Jeep since the mid-70’s. I got it running about 12 years ago, but run the clutch out and parked it in the shed. I have reupholstered seat cushions and backs with original springs (done back in the 70’s but never installed). the aluminum top was winter top and I have the doors for it but no end gate. Windshield frame is gone. Transmission seems to be fine. Tires hold air but not roadworthy.
It has had a hard life. Restore or part it. I can provide more pictures upon request.”
This has a funky windshield.
“***if you send email asking “do you still have it” or something similar I will assume its spam/scam and will not reply. When you email me be specific about the item.***
Selling my 1948 Willys Jeep. No time to work on it. Sold as is. You must arrange to transport it . Asking $1800 but will entertain all offers.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.
Per Bill’s observation, this appears to be a M-38 with DJ-5 grille and CJ-2A windshield. Pictures are 7 years old.
“Rare 1947 Willys Jeep, runs good, needs brake fluid, good project jeep, title in hand.”
There have been a variety of minor mods.
“Rare green jeep in great condition the approx year 1946. Come and kick the tires … fun to drive around. Civilian CJ”
http://ventura.craigslist.org/cto/3248373694.html
UPDATE: Was $4500. **SOLD**
This has been painted within the last year, as it was listed last summer painted red. It also has the M-38 body rather than a CJ-2A.
“Up for sale is a 1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A with a big block 351 ford engine. This is a running and driving vehical. The Ignition is all MSD from the distributor to the ignition box to the plug wires.

(06/10/2012) This looks like a solid jeep. The decals are removable.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2400.
This has full floating hubs in the rear, so this could be part military or part early VEC CJ-2A. However, there are a few other details that suggest this just might be a collection of various parts.
“Drives and Runs well and in good condition. Recent upgrades to brake system and rear and front internal gears etc. call for appointment if serious about collecting this gem. Needs minor electrical and a paint upgrade. Have clear title”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was 3200.
This runs and drives and has a rear PTO. It has no title and needs body work.

http://augusta.craigslist.org/cto/3245910996.html

No pics provided.
“1946 cj2a jeep parts
I’m parting out a whole cj2a please cal me for parts or questions. 1607279seven307. Motor is included.”
This appears to be a mix of an early 1946 and a 1948 with a fiberglass body thrown into the mix. So, it is rare because I suspect there is only one of those.
“Up for Auction is a very rare 3 speed on the column 1948 willys it was restored about 7 years ago and the tub was replaced with a fiberglass one,It was just painted with Durabak Scratch Guard and Off Road Interior Coatings (Read more about it Below) All the army decals where just put on also and can be removed pretty easy… all the brakes and lines where replaced it has the ORIGINAL rebuilt 4 CYLINDER WILLYS FLATHEAD ENGINE, That runs awesome 3 speed tranny ( pops out of 2end gear sometimes) 4 wheel drive works…. I upgraded the charging system to 12 volt and added turn signals also just installed a new exhaust manifold and tune up, starter, headlights and taillights….. ”

Ran when garaged. Looks like it might be solid. I wouldn’t call this a sacrificial price though.
“1947 WILLY’S JEEP 6 CYLINDER GOOD CONDITION WAS GOING TO RESTORE BUT MUST SACRIFICE THIS JEEP IS IN GREAT CONDITION FOR AS OLD AS IT IS. WAS RUNNING FINE WHEN GARAGED SEVERAL YEARS AGO.”

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $2000
(08/18/2012) I just can reconcile the “solid body” comment with the rust I see along the driver’s side entrance. Maybe it is just peeling paint??
