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 .

(01/12/2010) I’m guessing this has some cammo paint. It appears solid from what I can see.
“For sale is my 46 willys CJ2A Jeep Has a 230 V6 with headers and a cam Full Cage and tons of extra parts I have owned this Jeep since I was 18 but its time for something new. May trade for 4×4 chevt truck”

“1948 CJ2A. Runs great. Mechanically sound. Garaged. Restored body. Engine original. Mileage unknown. No top.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was for trade.
This seller is looking to trade for a truck.
“I have a 1946 Jeep Willys cj2a im looking at trading for a 71 chevy shortbox pickup. I would prefer a 4×4 but a 2×4 might be alright too if its in good shape. Engine doesnt really matter neither does transmission really. It should run or be close it but i wont turn down a good project if its in good enough condition. My jeep willys is a 46 Cj2a and is complete minus a gas tank and ignition. Clear title in hand yours should be too. It comes with a brand new tailgate, windshield frame, seats and all rubber seals. The jeep is taken a part right now but sits as you see it in the picture. I picked it up a few years back and just havent had the time to get into it yet.
Tires hold air just fine its been garaged for the past 5 years so shes ready to be restored to your liking. It still has the original hurricane flat 4 engine too which turns over smoothly. All new brakes on it too. wired 12v instead of 6v now.
Im located in rapid city. I can trailer the Willys to you within reasonable distance for milage if you dont live in the area. I may take cash for the Willys too if your interested but dont have a nice shortbox for me. Shoot me an email and we can go from there.”

“I hate, hate, hate that I have to sell this Jeep. I purchased in the early 2000’s 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, none are 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.

Interesting hubcaps.
“1948 Jeep Willys – Runs Great! Price $4500 OBO. For more information,”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
(04/09/09) Honestly, I’m not sure if that’s a paint job or paint peeling. The seller says this is a ’46, but the grille and body look more like they are an MB/GPW. so, the actual year of this vehicle might be earlier.
“1946 JEEP WILLYS RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT CALL RYAN ”

“First of all please note my stellar feedback so you can bid with confidence. I expect the buyer to be the same. Out of my collection is this very original 1946 CJ-2A Willys with matching civilian 1946 TC-3B Bantam trailer. This Willys is a frame off restoration. It is refinished in the original and correct color of Harvest Green. It has the correct original running gear: 134-L Go Devil engine, T-90 trans and Dana 18 transfer case. This Willys would do well in any show and is turn key ready. Best of all, you can drive it anywhere. The reserve is set MUCH less than comparable vehicles on the market and this INCLUDES the Bantam trailer. Odometer shows 47,290. I don’t know if this is actual or not. The following are all new or professionally rebuilt. Look at the pic’s…”
The auction on this just completed on this very stock jeep. This was a one-family jeep that looks very solid and appears fairly rust free, though the floor boards deserve some inspection based on the floorboard pic. This didn’t last long (less that 24 hours) before someone offered the buy-it-now price of $4500. I’m a little surprised it went so quickly for that much. It does have the original bill of sale (last pic) which is cool.
“I am selling my 1948 CJ2A. I am located in Lexington, SC. This Jeep was bought brand new by my Grandfather in March of 1948. I have the original bill of sale as well as a clear title. My grandfather passed away in 1987 and the Jeep sat in a barn until 2007. The Jeep is now in good running order, but I do not have the dedication or the funds to take it to the next level of restoration.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was$3800.
(02/21/2010) “Aluminum 1/2 cab, heater 12v alt new gas gauge, new sending unit, 12 v ele fuel pump new solex carb have orig, new plugs, new cap & rotor,point,cond. new elec wiper motor. new temp gauge mech. new spare tire mount, good title, orig steel body New lube in all gear boxs,new battery”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1650.
(10/16/09) It runs, but has a clutch problem.
“
Complete. Has all components. Great project for the jeep enthusiast. Engine runs like a clock. Smooth and quiet. Seems to have a clutch problem. Call (do not email) Jerry for details.”
Here’s a wonderful build, an experiment by a reader named Chad. He wanted to know what a Ford Model A Roadster would look like if Willys built it. So, naturally, he built one himself!
He writes, “Did all of it myself except the upholstery, in my home garage. It’s got a flathead V8 for power and took between 6 and 8 years start to finish. The dDrivetrain is flathead V8 adapted to a C-4 automatic adapted to Dana 18. Front axle is Dana 27 w/Corvette discs….rear is Dana 44 with one piece axles and Lock-rite geared 4.27. I thought maybe it would be a four year job, but stuff happens and there was a whole lot of headscratching to make things look ‘somewhat factory’. I used as many factory parts as I could but not necessarily the way they were used ‘by the factory’…..(those are Jeepster tailights, but they aren’t mounted that way on a Jeepster, just as an example).”
Great work and thanks for sharing!
This looks like a solid build.
“Rebuilt ’46 Willys cj-2a. new brakes, rear axle, clutch, transmission, gearbox, exhaust. 24000 miles on odometer. ’74 buick jeepster engine inside (V-6). fiberglass body. No room to store it anymore.”
