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: Price dropped to $250
This was originally for sale back in June. At that time it included fenders, but was priced higher. The tub itself looks great on the outside.

“Needs resto. Has been sitting for 10 years since last run, but started right up with fresh gas and battery. Smokes like the Batmobile. Flathead 4 cyl. 12 volt elec. system. See at 2025 N. Beverly. Call”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(05/05/2010) This looks in good shape. There’s an interesting lining of some type along the rear wheel well.
“1947 Willys Jeep 4 cylinder, runs fine. $3000 firm. Located in Dayton PA.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
“OK. Here is the situation. We had this Jeep sold twice before but the buyers backed out. The reason is because we can’t find the title and the registration doesn’t match with the MVD records. The new owner would have to do an abandoned vehicle search and get a new title that way. We do not have the time to research all of this so we are willing to let it go at a cheaper price. This Jeeps blue book value is over $6000.
1946 Willy’s CJ2A Jeep. All original with added top. 6 volt system. Flathead 4-cylinder. RARE 3 speed on the column shifter. Original seat frames included. 16 in wheels. Been in the same family it’s entire life, 3rd owner in family. Spare tire. We started it a few days ago and drove it around but it does need a little TLC. More pictures available. Price is $2200.”

It looks nice. I’m not sure if it’s a CJ-3A with the wrong year or a CJ-2A with a 3A windshield.

UPDATE: Still Available
(05/17/2008) Here’s an abandoned sand jeep project. Might be some usable parts for someone. This is the same seller as the CJ-3A below.
“Sand Jeep Project. 1948 Willy’s Jeep. Dana 60 5 lug rear, postal jeep front, roll cage, seat mounts, set up for 500 Cadillac and TH400. Engines available. Have clear Washington title. $300. Call Dave @ 503-572-9725”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2750. It includes a top. Looks like a great price. Brett noted that the seller updated the listing because the overdrive was incorrectly listed as a PTO.
(11/14/09) “1946 Willy CJ-2A Jeep, Strong 289 V8, 3-Speed transmission with Overdrive, extra Transmission & Transfer case, Rancho Shocks, 32” x 11.5 x 15 w/ Chrome Rims, Full soft top with doors, Bimi top, Front bumber tow mount, Back seat, rear rack with two 5 gal. gas cans.

This might be a good restoration candidate.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
(05/28/2010) The seller of this notes it is unmolested, but after seeing the paint job, I remain unconvinced 🙂
“1948 Willys CJ2A. Very nice restorable condition. I was going to restore but I have way too many projects. Has original engine and wheels. Nice unmolested jeep for a project. seats are not original. I was told it ran great before being parked a few years ago but I can not varify that. The picture is before power washing. The red color is mostly old paint showing. I has been painted a few times. Good Title!!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Here’s a running VEC CJ-2A.
“1945 Willys Jeep CJ-2A 4X4, runs, drives, and stops great. Great vehicle for a deer lease or mountain elk hunts. • 4WD works good, Hi or Lo range transfer case • Original flat head motor runs excellent. • New 1-wire alternator (no troublesome external voltage regulator) • New complete exhaust system • New master cylinder • New distributor, rotor, and cap • Front steering stabilizer • Tow bar • Four military tires • Includes spare tire • $2500”
It’s not completely stock, but appears in good condition.

UPDATE: Still Available
(04/17/2010) There are front and rear PTOs on this CJ-2A. What is the piece of equipment hooked to the rear PTO? Is that a rear winch? It looks like there might be some interesting history with this as well.
“To view more photos of this vehicle visit us at www.newmeadowsauto.com or call 207-443-1442 and ask Tony to schedule a test drive. RUNS, DRIVES…NOT ROAD WORTHY……PLOW WORKS ……WINCH WORKS……CHAINS FOR THE TIRES. AMAZING PIECE OF AMERICAN HISTORY”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This needs some work.

SO HAS DRIVE SHAFTS AND SPARE REBUILDABLE BLOCK.HAS CLEAR TITLE”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
This has got some good parts — a nice rims, wheels, and a cage. The gas tank inlet is a little odd. I’m not sure how/why that was changed. There’s no drain hole either. Maybe this is a fiberglass body?
“1946 willys jeep, project car, ford V8, headers and custom exhaust, email for info and more pictures.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This looks like a solid vehicle, but still needs to be reassembled.
“1946 Jeep Willy’s CJ2A. This Jeep and its parts are sold in as is condition. The engine was running perfect when I took it apart to put all new gaskets, main seals, cap, rotor, plugs, wires and more. The transmission went out and that is why I started taking things apart. The new transmission has been installed. The old one leaked and wouldn’t shift. the new one has all new seals and shift through all the gears. The Jeep also comes with the alternator, starter, carburetor and more. I just don’t have the time for the little jeep anymore and have too many other toys that work. The fenders need new bolts to hold them on. The rear left tire goes flat but the rest hold air no problem. There is very minimal rust on the Jeep. It has been in Arkansas for just under 2 years and has spent the rest of its life in the hills of Yosemite Calif. The time if you have it to put it together will make this a great putt putt for the road or ranch.”
UPDATE: Was $2000. **SOLD**
(03/21/2010) Includes emergency brake (installed under the front, driver’s-side wheel).
“1948 willys cj2s, needs tranny rebuilt, has a 225 odd fire v6 that run, axels are good, brakes are good, has rust, need restored. I used the tranny out of it for another jeep and no longer need this one so its time to sell. Rebuild or replace the tranny, one front brake hose, and this will drive. I have tranny/transfer case with it, its all there, its all there except the park grake handle ( I never had one ) just need rebuilt and put back in.Top is in ok condition, its all stock except the v6. all the lights work. I have no room to keep this, so it needs a new home.”
This looks like it has a VEC Body.
