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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800
Some good parts, but lots of work left.

“This jeep proudly and unselfishly gave it’s heart to keep a nice old army jeep alive a little longer. Now I have the complete body and frame with a rear bed full of spare parts. The tires are brand new with just a couple of miles on them to drive it here for surgery. There is a f-head 134 four cylinder engine that goes with this project. I have the radiator, an extra hood, basically every thing to complete it. I do not have a title for it, so bill of sale – parts only- kind of thing. I am told it has the ID number still plated on the frame. There is a roll bar, diamond plate corners, diamond plate “running boards” that reinforce the fender and lower tub. Windshield needs glass. Seats are faded, but useable for awhile longer. I may have extra axles, etc . also. Calls only please. I am still getting spam from the last time I replied to an ad with my email address.”
It appears solid and stock.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
(07/22/2010) There’s a bit of a hole in the hood, but otherwise looks pretty good.
“1946 Willy’s CJ2A $5,000.00. **F-head 4 cylinder motor (not the original flat head) **Solid Rhino Lined floors, **1″ body lift, **New 29″ military tires, **New gas tank.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $20,995
(05/08/2010) “This Jeep went through a total body-off, fully documented professional restoration in Pennsylvania 3-years ago at a cost of over $50,000. Painted in the rare factory correct Normandy Blue makes this CJ stand out. It has been driven only 300 miles since restoration in parades and shows. An ideal addition to any collection or ready for regular use. Everything works as new. Call for more details and photos”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700
(07/16/2009) Given the body is new there is some real value here.

SM465 4 speed, AA adapter, Dana 18 T-case, Saginaw power steering, On plated and reinforced original frame and axles with a spring over. Brand new body tub, front fenders, tailgate.

UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $6500.
I’m not sure what we have. It’s got a GPW Frame, a Willys Body, a CJ-2A windshield and gearing. This will need the clutch replaced.
“Looks great, runs fine, but needs a new clutch. Willys body, Ford frame, Good tires, breaks, etc. I bought this Jeep for $7K earlier in the year thinking it would be perfect for use on our ranch, but not realizing the Jeep is geared extremely low and realistically only gets up to about 30mph. The ranch is out behind Mount Hamilton and it would take us far too long to drive this little Jeep out there, so I kept it as a collectible “fun” vehicle. We were out joy riding (it’s a fun old ride) and the clutch gave out. Had to tow it back home, now it’s been sitting for a couple of months (we start her up once a month). Make me an offer, times are tough and we need the cash.”
Update: **SOLD** Was $3200
(09/01/08) This has been for sale for a year plus.

This looks to be solid. It might be a good price.
“I have lots of new parts. This jeep is in very good condition for a 1946. The title is clear and the registration is current. Needs engine finished and to be assembled ”
Parts Jeep?

Really cool front bumper, steel 16.5 wheels, heater on floor of passenger side. Have soft top and doors, original under seat gas tank, extra jerry cans.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
(Last listed 05/31/2009) It looks like a solid jeep.
“I am listing this Willys for my brother. It has been in our family since 1994 and been modified with a Chevy 350 engine and TH350 automatic transmission. Our uncle did most of the work on it. I’ll do my best to describe it.
350 Chevy engine from a mid 70’s Blazer. Was rebuilt about 15,000 miles ago and runs very well. Starts right up and has more than enough power.
Chrome headers exiting the sides
TH350 transmission professionally rebuilt about 1000 miles ago. Runs very well with crisp shifts.
Dana 18 transfer case.
Dana 44 rear axle and Dana 30 front with the larger drum brakes. They were rebuilt about 1000 miles ago. Our uncle bought these from a guy that was going to auto tech school and they were rebuilt under the supervision of his instructor. They are gears low. I listed a tire off the ground and spun the driveshaft. It took approximately 5-1/4 turns so they are either 5.13 or 5.38. It’s gear for offroading so if you want to do alot of highway travel you would probably want to put in a Warn overdrive.
Repainted a few years ago. It looks good but isn’t a perfect show quality paint job. The body is very solid and rust free. The fenders aren’t rotted at the inner supports.
Very good condition chrome wheels with 33″ tires with about 1000 miles on them.
Tilt steering column with Saginaw power steering conversion
Heavy duty custom battery mount.
New electric cooling fan with recored radiator.
Good condition soft top with doors. Was originally red but was repainted black with vinyl fabric paint.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
(06/08/2010) It has a few dents, but it looks pretty rust free.
“1000 miles on rebuilt 4 cylinder and 3 speed manual transmission, 4 WD-Warn hubs, Hi-Lo transfer case, 12 Volt system, Roll bar, Towbar, Bucket seats, No top, Good glass in windsheild, Grey in color, Mechanically sound”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
Here’s a nice looking column shift CJ-2A forwarded by HOG. There’s only one pic, but it is a big one.
“1946 CJ2A 4 Cyl, 3 speed Column Shift(Factory). 4 Wheel Drive. BlueBook is $9700, Asking $5500. (Serious Inquiries Only). Call for additional details. It is Nice.”
There looks like $250 worth of parts.
“This jeep is for parts. If you want a pristine Jeep, this one is NOT the one you need. I do not know if its all there, and the engine is probably not original. It has a 6 cylinder motor, which may be a Kaiser straight-six. Floor pan is rusted out. This jeep is old, but may be a good find if you’re looking for some parts.”
