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 sure looks like it has been beat up a bit.

This CJ-2A comes with a carrier (perhaps to carry extra parts and a tool box?)
“I have a 1946 Willy’s CJ2 that i acquired from the original owner (they bought it in the early 50’s from the military). It has the original engine and runs like a dream. it was used as a ranch vehicle to walk horses. it is in excellent condition but has no windshield and i dont have the money to buy one or the skill to make one. if you are interested in this vehicle call (four three five eight six eight one four four one) and ask for eric and we’ll discuss price. i am interested in trades as well, preferably of the motorcycle variety.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $300.
It looks like this was stretched some time ago based on the rust.
“For sale is a Jeep CJ2A body that has been stretched to fit on a CJ7, Wrangler or Chevy Blazer frame. Come with vin tag. $300”
Not quite all original, but close. It appears the bumper area and front frame rail intersections have been modified.

“Vintage 1946 Jeep CJ2A. One owner since about 1947. Regularly serviced. Garaged for all of its life and not used for the past 25 years. Engine has been started regularly. First civilian model after WWII. Had shifter on steering column, but has been converted to a floor shift. Original flat head engine has also been replaced with the overhead valve four cylinder ‘hurricane’ engine. Large rear mounted PTO winch. Otherwise, most everything else is stock. In great shape with a ‘Koenig’ steel top. VERY little rust, if any? Repainted, upholstered and gone over mechanically in about 1956. Seats can use new upholstery. Carburetor rebuilt in 2006. Doesn’t burn oil or leak. Tires are all pretty good. Rims have a chrome ring on the rim. Everything works good. Runs great. Great for original restoration or drive it as is. Serious parties please E-mail to discuss price.”

A reader named Chad inherited this jeep from his Grandfather. He hopes it gets a good home. It looks like it would be a good restoration candidate.
“1948 Jeep Willys CJ2A for sale. The jeep sat in a barn since 1999. It ran drove into the parking spot that I picked it up from. There is very little rust. The floor boards and rear pan are in excellent shape. It was repainted at some point to the light blue color. It has original engine and it runs.

(07/19/2011) Francis has his jeep for sale. The tub is a bit of a puzzle, as it appears to be either a M-38 tub that has seen some good body work or a replacement tub of some type.
“1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A
Ford 4 Cyl
I think it is the original Transmission, Transfer case and Axles.
Has the original gas tank under the drivers seat but it is not hooked up. There has been a gas tank added in the back under the car. Done very well and looks like it was done at the factory. I think it is about 10 gallon but if you connected the original also it could have over 20. The gas gauge has a switch to see the level of both tanks.
New front racing seats with 4 point harness.
Backseat bottom lifts to reveal under seat storage.
Roll cage.
Tires are good.
Runs and drives great.
4 wheel drive 4×4 works no problem, Does great off road.
Locking hubs in front.
Tow bar.
Warn 5000lb winch ( I don’t have the wiring or controls for it)
No major rust.
Tub is in great condition.
Comes with extra set of wider wheels with old 31inch tires mounted.
Cons-
Front axle leaks a little.
Crack in exhaust manifold ( still runs and drives good just a little exhaust leaks out of crack).
Sometimes pops out of second when slowing down in second.
Crack in windshield.( flat glass should be easy to replace)
Price is $3600. I am in no hurry to sell. I might go down a little but no low-balers. Would consider trade for something of equal value 4 wheel drive that can be used and a duel purpose commuter and off road. Would like a nice 4×4 jeep Cherokee, lifted.
Please email offers or trades.
Call if you would like to come see with cash in hand. 818-two93-five4one7
