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 .
Does this have a rear PTO? It looks like it might be there.

Ok, the jeep looks great and might just be worth the asking price. But, a full restoration (and I won’t even go there) was completed and it appeared in a magazine, yet the seller still thinks it is a 1952. I can only shake my head.
“For sale willys army jeep 1952. Featured in “On The Road” magazine, and fully restored. I am asking $5000.00 or best offer.

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.

(07/26/2011) This has a rear PTO and was a column shift before a conversion.
“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.”

This appears in good shape.

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. Brakes work but are spongy due to the rubber getting a little soft. I have both seats, however only had one in for the pictures. Comes with full size spare rim and tire.”
