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: Still Available

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4250.
This looks like a good price on a nicely updated CJ-2A.

Detroit lockers front nd rear, marlin crawler alloy front axles, 35X12.5 tires (50%), power steering and brakes, Chev tilt wheel w/working turn sigs, amfmcd, tow bar, Best top & bimini top, 8000# Warn winch, aluminum radiator, heater & more. Will sell for 4250 which is much less than invested.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
(05/10/09) This jeep looks good. It appears to have an updated motor of some type as I think I see a header coming down on the passenger side. It doesn’t look like there’s a muffler attached to the header.
“I have been storing my fathers 1946 Willys hoping to one day restore it in his memory. Unfortunately, with the present economy I am not working and can’t afford the extra storage fee. It was last restored in 1989 so is in need of a facelift. It has a 350 small block with headers and custom built roll bar. If your a jeep lover you will be familiar with the Armstrong tires that it rolls on and the Warn wench that it has up front. Currentley, it is non-op and needs alittle TLC. It is very hard part with this vehicle so serious inquires only.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
(02/09/2010) It looks a little rough for $2k.
“asking $2,000 obo. i have the title and it turns over so i’m sure it will run”
There’s another pics here: http://fargo.craigslist.org/cto/1593226384.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
It’s not clean, but appears solid.
“1946 Willys. #47677. Mechanically original. Very straight & solid body. Adjustable seats in good condition. Original L head motor. Ran when parked quite a while ago. Always stored in doors. Excellent for restoration or building a classic rock crawler. ”
Here’s an early CJ-2A.
“1945 CJ2A – Only 1800 CJ2A’s were made in 1945. Has tool indent on driver side. Has tube front cross member. Serial # 11495. Runs and drives. All lights work. Transmission has been rebuilt. Brakes have been converted to 11″. Original 134 Flathead – smokes. Floor has been replaced with new metal in rear. Includes hand wench with crank. This is a hard to find jeep that actually runs and looks good. Email with questions.”

It runs, but has to be compression started. It’s got the tool divets.

Besides two drivelines, this also appears to need seats.

UPDATE:**SOLD* Was $1500.
This is a project.
“Jeep – 1947 CJ2A. F-Head motor (not original). Engine just freshened new gaskets/ rings / cylinders honed / head rebuilt. Runs great, no smoke no problems. 3 speed standard transmission. 4wd low & high works. Transmission grinds a little but you would to if you were sixty three years old. Clutch seems to work fine. Frame is solid. A little surface rust but in great shape for it’s age. Interior could use some love. The drivers seat cover is pretty much non-existant, I’m not sure what gauges on the dashboard work, there not original though. Someone put a keg in the back for a gas tank. Body seems good for what it is … Price is $1500 obo. Don’t need to sell it… I bought it with intentions of fixing it up, rebuilt the engine and somewhat lost ambition. If I dont get what I want, within reason, I’ll just keep it. ”
UPDATE: more, bigger pics. The interior looks good and it has new gauges.
The windshield on this is pretty vertical. It appears in solid shape.

(12/19/2010) It even runs!
“
1946 willys jeep 12volt electrical system needs some TLC has a none-op on it come test drive.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2650
(01/08/2010) Check out the front part of the passenger side frame rail. It looks like a giant piece of plate has been welded onto to it. I suspect that’s not there to make it go faster!
“This old Willys runs and drives like it did 62 years ago! This would be perfect for a restoration project as it is only slighty modified with the lift and very little aftermarket items, or as a TURN-KEY off road toy. I would keep it if I could but bills and other projects take priority unfortunetly. Please call or email with any questions or offers”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1350
(02/06/10) Here’s an interesting combo.
“1946 New Willys Jeep chasis that has never had a body mounted. Included: Buick 225 V-6, New Springs, Rebuilt axles, Trailer, 4-Speed Transmission”
Something seems a little strange about the windshield.

(06/3/09) Looks like a parts jeep to me.
“I am selling this 1946 Jeep Willys CJ2A. I bought it as part of a package and my wife says it needs to go. It is not running, but the engine turns free and I just had the starter rebuilt. The only thing it’s missing is the Carb to get running again. The body will need some repairs, but I’ve been told that worse have been rebuilt. I have the tag that goes with it, along with a multitude of other parts. Just let me know what you need and I’ll include them. Thanks. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
“A 1948 willy nice willy solid great to drive . Has new brakes all around,new rebuilt tranmission,new floor borad, lots of new parts.you may e-mail me or call for more info”
This comes with some body parts. This might be a good price and a good foundation for an early build.
“This is a restored 1948 or 1949 Willys CJ3A rolling chassis with transmission, transfer case, front and rear axles and driveshafts. Frame has been sandblasted down & repainted, new brake lines and shocks. Has DJ3A fuel tank added in the rear of the frame. Comes with firewall, windshield frame, hood and grill from a DJ3A. No other sheet metal available. No engine.”

http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/1592910323.html
Here’s a restored CJ-2A.
“I hate, hate, hate that I have to sell this Jeep. I purchased this CJ2A several years ago and have 293 recorded man hours into the restoration. I have a full photo album of pictures from the very early stages through completion. However, only recent ones are available online. I have taken a few pictures of the pictures with my camera phone. Too much detail to go into regarding the restoration, but I do have a printout of everything that went into it. It runs well and is started weekly to keep everything in working order. T-90 Transmission and Transfer Case Model 18. Engine: #J45856. This restoration is one of the nicest that I’ve ever seen. This jeep is a great collectible and a piece of American history. Please feel free to ask questions, I’ll do my best to answer…. Make an offer! Can and would love to ship.”
http://asheville.craigslist.org/cto/1592886248.html
UPDATE: SOLD .. Was listed at $500.
Given the parts, this seems like a good price. I’d think this would have the Dana 30 & Centered Dana 44 as well. I think I’ve seen this for sale previously.

“1948 willys jeep CJ2A , great project. I have some new parts and a donor vehicle (64 cj6) available as well.”
This looks like it was a racer. Now it’s a parts jeep.
“Selling a Willys jeep that I was going to use for a project but have bought something else so it needs to find a new home. NO MOTOR OR TRANNY! NO TITLE! It is 2wd right now but have a set of CJ axles I would sell also if someone was interested. Body is in decent condition and would make some good parts for another jeep or make a crawler out of it.
