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 .
This could be a DJ-3A.

Bring a Trailer.”

I love the old school paint job.
“Up for auction is 1946 Willy’s CJ2A #64464. Many years in previous family and believed to be originally purchased in California. Barn storage or desert life much of vehicle’s existence and what little rust around steps came from outside storge last few years not far from southern California beach.
I purchased this 2A as a project to do with my son as I soon planned to start work on my original one owner California ’48 CJ2A(red one in couple of pictures) and was not far from my house. I believe it to have most of it’s original Harvest Tan paint in tact and to be 95% rust free. This 2a underwent a very well done 283 Chevy V8 engine swap in the 60’s that included 11″ brake upgrade and GM steering. The fire wall has been moved rearward 4″ with nice metalwork. Sold with bill of sale. Vehicle does not have windshield, seats or engine. Have seen some restored and complete rolling chassis on ebay as late so maybe a great restorable body can be of help to someone.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1500

http://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/cto/1973847074.html
UPDATE: This is back on eBay, again
(04/12/2010) The seller provides some good details on body issues.
“1946 Jeep CJ-2A Column Shift VIN # 37776. I have a clear Michigan title in my name. I bought this Jeep just about a year ago with the intent of restoreing it, but unforseen circumstances and my physical health have now made it impossible to do so. The Jeep has a really good hood and front fenders, both front foot pads have rust holes, both side panels have some rust at the bottoms, left side panel is dented at the rear, but solid. Right side has rusted thru at the rear where the wood supports are, and has a little more rust at the foot pad than the left side. It has a good tailgate, 4 military style tires w/orange wheels w/ the black pinstripe. Front floors have rust, rear is good, but is wavey from use. Windshied frame is rusted, but restoreable in my opinion. It only has the drivers seat. Along with the column shift, it has a Monroe hydrualic tank and control for a three point hitch, and has a few small peices of that on the rear bumper. One of the Monroe tanks sold on E-Bay for $300.00 by itself. The engine turns over freely, and in fact I started it breifly by pouring gas down the carb, just to make sure it ran. The tranny and tranfer case seem to shift well, and the frame looks good too! I have new front floor pans, wheel cylinder kits, a new six volt battery, and probably a few other small things too. This is a great Jeep to restore. The picture was taken just before I bought the Jeep last year. If you need more, I can take them, but I’m not real good at the picture/computer thing. If interested, call Mark at (231) 690-0868.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Were $3500
(08/15/2010) This looks in good shape.
“I am selling my 1947 Willy’s CJ2A. It has a Buick V6 engine. Runs good, looks good. For more info”
