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 $500

(05/06/2010) This is an interesting build. I bet it was modded back in the late 60s or early 70s. How about that steering wheel or the tight corners on those roll bars.
“I have inherited my grandfathers old willys jeep and unfortunately don’t have the money to do the proper restoration on it that it deserves. It is a little more than a fixer upper but it is the entire vehicle, it was never stripped for parts. My step dad got it running a couple years ago and drove it around the yard, but it has gone back to sitting. If you have any interest in it please feel free to contact me and I’d be happy to give you any info I can and or send some more pictures. If you are local we can even meet up and I’ll show it to you in person. This is not a stock willys. My grandfather did a lot of work on it himself and in its day it was an amazing machine. Has a small block V8, fold down front window(good glass), 4×4, tow hitch, roll bar, dual exhaust, and 3 speed manual, and about 114,000 miles(i think, the old odometers only went to 99,999 and then just rolled over again). I would love to see it go to a good home and the price is negotiable, but will be carefully considered.”
Here’s a parts jeep.

“1946 Willys CJ2A project for sale. I bought this jeep in New Hampshire last fall from a guy who said this jeep was “Done Right”. Well, my inexperience paired with my enthusiasm for the jeep impaired my vision. When I started sanding the bondo bubbles, I found that the whole back end was gone. I hired a guy to cut it all out and replace everything with 16 gauge steel. Now that everything is metal and this jeep is solid I am looking to sell it to someone who has the skills to finish the project and live the dream. Needs some bondo skimming over the grinded welds and where the new steel meets the old. It needs a radiator bracket fabricated to hold the brand new custom aluminum radiator that I bought for it. It needs a bracket modification to fit the alternator back on since I put a shallow water pump in. then this jeep should be ready to cruise around town and off road. There are other things of course, but you get the idea. It ran and drove when I bought it last fall. It just needs to be put back together.
the good: Has YJ leafs springs in the front which give it a big lift
Has a running 327 sbc motor
Has a muncie 4 speed
Has 34″ super swampers in 80% condition
Its all solid steel
Now its “Done Right”
Frame is Solid
Custom Dual side exit exhaust
all new brake lines”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1500
(06/15/2010) I think it is time for me to create a post on how to take a good picture, issues of light/shadows, what to take, and what not to take ….

(06/25/2010) This looks like a very good price. This does not appear to be a VEC based on the gear shift lever that is just visible in the picture.
“1946 Jeep Willies. Runs. New seats. Flathead enjine. Original color is red.”
There appears to be some usable parts on this.
“rough willys, not sure of year, good for parts or restore, does not run, roll, or steer. It has a small v8 in it and there are a couple of mice living in it. It is in my driveway and my wife wants it gone, I can’t understand why. If interested call 860-836-4994”

(06/18/2010) Dan’s on a streak tonight. This looks like a fine price that includes a hardtop and softtop.
“I can NOT take any trades for this Willys. 55,858 original miles. She was completely undercover in a carport for last 30 years with very little in town miles, as it was used as a snow plow only which now it is not. 2 Tops – Sears catalog hardtop with doors and soft top (needs some work) with doors.
Last summer this is what was replaced: Completely new brakes, starter solenoid, seats recovered with Marine grade vinyl so that they are waterproof. We hade a tune up performed 6/21/2010 to replace the coil, coil wire, distributor cap, rotor, condenser, points & spark plugs. This is still a 6 Volt system.
This really is a classic car and as much original as is possible for a 63 year old vehicle. She does have some rust holes in the floor boards but not very badly. There is also some rust on the side steps. We are forced to sell is the only reason we are selling so that is why I can NOT take any kind of trade. I can email you other pictures if you would like.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
The grille suggests this is a later model CJ-2A.
“All 4 wheel cylinders have been rebuilt.the cluth slave cylinder has been rebuilt. Replace the cylinoids.has new battery. 4 wheel drive. 5.25 gear ratio in rear. Dana 22s under it.runs good, drives good.entire tub has been rhino lined. Just needs bikiin top.clean title.”

Here are a couple jeeps for sale. The purple CJ appears to have a replacement body.
“ALMOST 2 JEEPS $4500.00: 1946 CJ-2A Licensed and titled with almost a second in additional parts.
I?m finally admitting I don?t have the time to continue with my project so I?m selling both of my Jeep projects.
The first Jeep is licensed and titled; it has an assigned title from the State of Colorado, and is running. The engine smokes a lot (rings) but otherwise runs quite well. This has very good high back buckets and new tires on aftermarket rims. Original 3 Speed with Twin Stick Transfer Case and a Original Warn Overdrive and Manual Hubs. No Top, and the body has quite a bit of rust. The brakes work but should be gone through before it?s driven on the road. It has some gauges and the speedometer but aren’t not hooked up.
The second Jeep is also a 46-2A that is almost complete but has no engine. This one has a rebuilt (Mile High Jeep Rebuilders) Transmission and Twin Stick Transfer Case, original Jeep Seat Frames and a much better body. The floor has been replaced and is on its rolling chassis with original 16? Jeep Wheels. This one also has manual hubs but again no Top. There is no title on this one. Additionally, there are some loose/spare parts, an extra windshield frame and a Good Jeep Rebuilders Manual. Additional photos are available.”
UPDATE: Pics provided. A reader has this for sale.
This has updated brakes and an overdrive.
“Running driving 1946cj2a,has overdrive,roll bar,turn signals,runs great no smoke,New bumper,brake lines,master cylinder,has 11 inch brakes,turn signals.original seats has 29k miles..must sell…”

This is a bit high for a project and it is very much a project still.
“hey all. we are raising money for my sons special education costs. so up for sale is our 1946 willys jeep. i bought this about 6 years ago, drove it for approx 80 miles, found the traditional floor rust and promptly pulled it into the garage and started stripping it down. long story short, there is now a brand new tub, primered and ready to paint/install, frame has been undercoated, engine and trans/ pto have been pulled/new gasket kits installed/and put back together, new wiring harness and frame brake lines are ready to go in, as well as a lot of other work thats been done. i know ill never get my time out of it, and currently i have over 5800.00 into it, it is an easy project to finish, so if youre interested in this complete original willys, let me know. thanx. dave.”

For a jeep with a serial number of 11672, this looks decidedly non VEC ish. It’s certainly not totally stock for that vintage. However, it is a nice looking rebuild.
“1945 Willy’s CJ-2A Civilian Jeep Universal. SN. 11672.This unit is totally stock with the original “Go-Devil” L-Head 4 cylinder 60 HP engine and associated transmission and differentials. The only items that have been upgraded are a full 12V electrical system with battery, starter, alternator, wiring, and all lights and gauges. The windshield wipers have been converted from vacuum to electric for just a bit more dependability. The unit has only recently been completed and even includes a new (only installed and put on twice) Best top and doors. This is an all steel, and, I think, it is all original steel, body. The body was removed from the chasse and all necessary maintenance was performed. The floors are the original and show no signs of rust including the compartment under the passenger seat. Both the underside and the top of the full floor have been stripped down and Rhino Hide coated. The wheels are perfect and carry a new full set of five 600X16 non-directional tread tires. The seats have been redone with the proper upholstery both front and rear. I have had this unit on the highway for a 120 mile round trip at fifty miles per hour and had absolutely no problems.”
