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 .

(03/07/2011) I think the top two and bottom left pics are of the jeep for sale. The lower right, I think, is of another jeep. Though titled as a CJ-3A, it appears to have a CJ-2A body. This includes overdrive and appears solid.
“I have a great start on a crawler resto build its titled as a 51 cj3a jeep. Come take a look, all sheetmetal is in great shape have a lot of parts to go with call to make a deal price is best offer. It has original T90 tranny dana 18 transfer case with a warn overdrive on it. NO MOTOR need it gone. Comes with a original m38 aluminum hard top.”

(09/12/2010) This seller sounds like he has a couple jeeps. Last year he drove back a ’46 CJ-2A from Oakdale to Winnemucca (when it stopped running).
“Selling 1945 willys jeep CJ2a.

Column shift missing and floor shift installed. T- 84 trans was used, which pretty much makes this a full WW-II chassis.”
Milleage is 66,900. After being around this jeep, I believe it to be original. Thats my guess, it may not be. Original color paster green, autumn yellow rims. Engine does smoke a little, It’s a WW-II smoke screen option, LOL. Floors solid, a little rot on bottom of hat channels ( very minimal) Steps are solid and hold when stepped on. Any questions please ask and left room for more pictures if there’s something you want to see. This jeep has ‘nt been restored, it’s in its original shape after 65 years. Thanks.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2750.
This could use some restoration.
“1946 Willys Jeep # 54716. Clear Florida Title that matches body tag and front frame numbers. It has been garaged while in Florida since 2008. Last ran in 2009and was waiting to be restored. Motor ( 4 cylinder Flat Head) was reportedly rebuilt in the mid 1980s, all gears and drive train appear to be correct and properly operated. It has Lockout Front Hubs and electrical has been converted to 12 volts . It has typical old jeep rust ( some rust through) which can be repaired. Original type seat frames are in great shape but needs covered.
There is a lot of character in this 1946 mid-western Jeep ( I brought it down from Missouri) and would only be appreciated by someone that knows the value of old Jeeps and wants to be a owner of history.”

The column shift has been converted and an F-head stuck into it, but otherwise looks in good shape.
“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.
