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 .

“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”

Check out the 100 mile-per-hour speedometer. Is that aftermarket or from a different vehicle?

“Here is the story this Willys lived it first 62 years in Eastern Oregon. I bought it about one year ago for a hunting and pleasure rig. It was repainted about four years ago and had a pretty complete restoration at that time. Still has original Flathead 4cylinder, selectro hubs, 12volt system. rest of drivetrain is stock with 16″ wheels.
Since I have had rig I installed the Superlift 1″ soft ride springs, the later style shackles, superlift shocks, I had R&P 4X4 install updated CJ5 steering system and front 11″ Drum brakes.. This vehicle runs and drives awesome for being 63 years old.
Is this a perfect show quailty rig no. With that being said you would have to look long and hard to find a willys of this vintage in this kind of shape.
The only negative thing I can say is the original CJ2A Window was modified for single plate of glass, it works just not as nice as a cj3a window frame, also the wiper motor needs wired.
I have had several jeep and willys experts look at this rig and it does appear to be rust free. I’m selling only because I feel guilty about using a rig this nice for hunting and would hate to cause any damage to it ”
This runs and drives.
“Well, I’ve changed direction again and need to sell the 2a. I thought about using it for parts, selling what I could and scrapping the rest. But, after I got her started, and looking her over, I realized that this ’46 was pretty original and unmolested. She’s too good to part out, and would make a good restoration project if one wanted to start cheap. Has clean title, matching frame and vin numbers. Hood straight, fenders good, grill good, surface rust on frame, but sound. In the pictures, you’ll see some 24 volt parts that come with it. Youtube video of motor running and jeep moving are at
http://www.youtube.com/user/nedmcclung I think. I just want what I’ve got in her, so it’s yours for $1000 cash. Located in Atlantic Beach, NC. My phone is 252-three, four, nine-twothreefoureight for questions.”
