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 .

“New powder coat paint on frame. Hood, grill, fenders and window frame sandblasted. No motor. Tubs in poor condition. Diferential and drive train in good shape.”
I don’t see the Capstan winch, but it is supposed to have one. I’m not sure if this is actually a 1946, as it has the wrong grille.
“1946 Jeep Willys – needs restoration. Running 289 out of a 1966 Mustang, built in capstan winch, brakes need to be replaced and carb needs to be rebuilt, but does run strong, not drivable because brakes are bad. GREAT project platform or great for parts. Includes original transmission and axles including front locker. Front winch bumper with tow hook, rear tow bumper.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800
There has been at least a few alterations.
“1946 Willy’s Jeep for sale as is”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1500
(11/02/2009) This has been for sale for several years. It’s missing steps and original seats, but otherwise looks like a good price. It runs and drives.
“
For sale is our Willys CJ2A nicknamed Limey for obvious reasons. While we have owned Limey we have replaced the clutch, water pump, head gasket, head studs/nuts and have inspected the brakes. The L head 4 cylinder runs good. The T90 3 speed transmission is strong and does not pop out of second gear. 4WD works great. Limey has also been converted to 12 volts. Overall the body condition is fair to good, it would need work to be perfect but it is usable as is now. The exhaust system also needs some work but we are including a piece of piping that should fix the problem. We also have a roll-bar that we can throw in if interested. Limey’s S/N is 153,891 and the frame tag, body tag and S/N tag all match. In addition the toeboard gusset and tailgate numbers match, their number is 143,524. While this S/N would make Limey a 1948, we have clear Minnesota title as a 1947. We are asking $2,200 OBO for Limey. Please e-mail with questions or to get contact information.”

UPDATE: Still Available
(02/10/2012) The fenders appear to have an unusual mod in the front. The body looks more like a replacement fiberglass body than a ’48 body. The rear axle looks CJ-2Aish. Overall it looks like a solid build.

This looks solid.
“Street Smart Auto Brokers is very pleased to bring you a very rare and popular 1946 Willy’s Jeep that has been completely restored.
We sent this to our Jeep mechanics to do the full inspection and they said this Willy’s rides and looks like its been done right. The steering is tight and it just drives solid.
Some of the outstanding features of this rig are…
12 Volt conversion
Alternator & dual batteries
Reflex shocks
Warn HS 9500i Winch
Superwinch Hubs
Great tires
Sun Pro gauges – all functioning
Excellent seats
We don’t have any restoration history on it and that is why we asked our mechanics to go through it with a fine tooth comb.
The Willy’s is not on our lot, so please call Frank, Josh, Rory or Loren at 719-434-8443 to set up an appointment to see the Jeep.”

This looks like a great price with most of the value in the trailer. The grille looks like it is stainless, too.
“’47 CJ2A project. 225 Buick V-6, twin stick transfer case, warn hubs, stainless front fenders, chrome grill, early mustang taillights. Needs a coil, tires and wheels, fuel tank installed, and brakes fixed. I don’t know anything about the condition of the motor ( I got the jeep as is in a trade ).

“For SALE OR TRADE 1946 Willys Jeep cj-2a (CLEAN TITLE IN HAND) the price of $3500 is negotiable, as far as trades I will trade for a Kawasaki KLR 650 or similar endure type bike.
Has been converted to 12 volt. Engine has been replaced with the 134 F head. This is the engine that was used in the cj-3b’s among other vehicles, similar to the original flathead but the intake valves are in the head and the exhaust valves are in the block, providing slightly more power and reliability in comparison to the L head (flathead). This thing runs great, and has recently had these parts changed. (I have all of the receipts)
>starter
>fuel tank
>Distributor Rebuilt Kit (points, rotor, cap, condensor)
>fuel filter
>oil filter
>Ignition coil
>Spark plugs and wires
>The carb was just rebuilt by Thrasher Carb shop in Tulsa
all parts were purchased from kaiserwillys
This isn’t a show quality rig by any means, but this thing starts up right away, and idles and runs perfectly, the 4wd and transmission work perfectly also. Even the gauges work. Doesn’t leak all over the place, and would make a perfect hunting rig / work horse, or you could just use it for fun, this thing is a blast to drive”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4750
(02/22/2012) Despite the odd tool storage the body looks pretty good.
