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 .
It’s a project with a new body kit.

Glenn shared this militarize CJ-2A. This would fool most people into thinking it was a WW2 jeep.
“1946 Willy’s MB-2A. Basically what we have here is a 1946 CJ2A that was completely modified to a Willy’s MB. The motor, transmission and chassis is CJ, the body and all accessories are MB. This was a 2018 frame up restoration, frame is solid, body and accessories are new. Runs and drives, everything works with the exception of speedometer and fuel gauge, however I have those new and ready to be installed. For a complete list of everything I did and for more photos, please email me or call, there’s simply too much to list. While I can be a *little* flexible, I know how much these are worth, I know how much money I have into it and I know how many of these are floating around out there so keep that in mind when you are looking at my price, no trades please, all accessories included, machine gun as well (it is not a real machine gun) thanks.”
Could be worth a look. It has a rear winch of some type.

Located in Banks, Oregon.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
David spotted this CJ-2A with an MB body. It’s a mix of parts, so hard telling how much is 2A and how much is MB from the pics.
“Pink on hand, none OP, CJ2A Has Chevy V8 350 that runs, 4 x 4. $3,500 O.B.O. Has tow bar, needs emergency brake. Calls only, no text, must see”
John shared this online auction for a VEC? CJ-2A with a column shifter. It doesn’t appear to have had indents, so this may be in the 3XXXX serial number range.

(04/13/2022) The seller notes the numbers match (though the tub is new), but the tub and chassis numbers don’t match (though aren’t all that far off …see pic below).

Amy asked me to post this highly modified crawler. I’m not sure there is anything dating to 1945 on this one! More pictures and videos can be found here – https://www.dropbox.com/sh/m9dvay032hdqk0u/AAA1fK-i6DvyuOK8Yq5YkFD2a?dl=0

There’s value here. It looks like a great restoration candidate. Note the tailgate appears to have the original stencil.

(04/07/2022) Listed as a 1949, this CJ-2A has an early grille, so it might be more like a 1946. This may also have a Warn OD.

“15 year old restoration..only taken to ahows and around neighborhood.”
The seller included two different sets of pics. I believe the set of pics without the rollbar and top is the pre-refurb state.

“For sale, 1947 Willys CJ2A jeep, totally restored lots of New parts but kept totally original. Has a little over 35,000 original miles and purrs like a kitten. 18,000. Located in Southern Nevada.”
Listed as a 1943, I don’t see anything thing here that is 1943ish. This jeep appears to have an M-38A1 or early CJ-5 frame, given the front springs have reversed shackles. The grille is likely a repro grill in the M-38 style.
