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 $750
This has a nice rollcage, and HEI distributor, v6 headers, and possibly a one wire alternator with the V-6. This might be a decent deal, especially if you have another tranny around.
“1943 Jeep Willys. Engine works, tranny doesn’t. Locked up. Was planning on fixing, but after a year and a half, haven’t. Jeep’s located 20 mins. east of Julian. Call me at 619-722-7065 for more information and a time to go see Jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Appears in good condition.
“1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep / $3000 / Runs / Off road tag / includes lots of parts and extras. Admiral & Garnett area of Tulsa.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
The engine is seized. I can’t tell if this is an early or late ’46.
“i have a 1946 willys cj-2a with a clean title that is midway through a frame up restoration. it ran and drove great but the engine seized. it is an all steel body with zero rust but isn’t perfect.. its in primer right now and needs brake work other then an engine rebuild or a new engine. the jeep will come with many extra parts. the jeep is located outside of Oostburg. it will have to be hauled away on a trailer. e-mail with any questions and to set up a time to see it. im asking 2000 obo trades a possibility. i also have a PTO for sale. the rear unit the drive shaft and where it bolts to the transfer case.”
Nothing fancy, but sounds like a good, strong drive train.
“46 Willys Jeep Project, 4.3 vortex v-6 motor, sm465 trans, t18 transfercase, ford 9″ rear end, dana 30 front end. Serious offers only please call 619-933-6707 NO TRADES, More pics on request ”
It sure looks like this jeep has been well maintained by the same family for over 50 years.
“This jeep has been the family for over 50 years. The original 4 cylinder engine has 47,000 miles on it and runs great. It has the standard 3 speed manual transmission, transfer case with high and low range, 4 wheel drive, and lock out hubs. The soft top and tires are new. The 6 foot plow and a full size cover are included with the jeep. It has the original 6 volt system including lights, gauges, generator, and battery. I also added a 12 volt battery connected directly to the starter for easy starting even on the coldest winter days. This jeep has been well cared for and maintained over the years.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
Well, at least it runs …
“1946 Willys Jeep, Flathead Head 4 cyl engine, manual trans, full time front 4wd axle, the engine runs but needs overhauled. The brakes need work. The body is rusted but the frame is in good shape. It has been converted to 12 volts. Also includes an extra set of original style tires.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
“rebuilt 231 v-6. 331 gears, front disk brakes, new paint and interior, new glass, runs and looks great. 4 wheel drive works good.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3600.
This looks like it has a nice, vintage top. The rest of the jeep looks in good shape, too.
“1946 Jeep Willys. Small block V8. New muffler, alternator, wiring, lift – all professionally done.
Newer tires. Ultimate hunting vehicle.”
I doubt it will fetch the ‘buy it now price’ of $5400. And, it has plenty of rust and dents that will require some work to remove, however there’s a lot to like about it. Lots of pics on eBay.
“The current owner has owned this jeep for 25 years and it has 61,504 original miles. Fifteen years ago, the owner and his late wife took a road trip from Urbana, Illinois down to Cairo, Illinois and back up through Kentucky and Ohio. It ran perfectly the whole way. When the jeep was purchased in 1984 the title was in both the owner and his wife’s name and was re-issued in 1998 in his name only after his wife passed away…”
No pics yet provided.
“Clean and mostly stock, engine overhauled, 12 volt, well worth looking at please E-mail for more info. Can get pictures in the next few days”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Free
It appears this is a free jeep. That’s a good price!
“1948 Willys flat fender jeep rolling chasis with axles, tires, tranny, t-case. Great for project or for the rare spare parts.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800
This looks like a fun little CJ-2A. I wonder if the bars attached to the windshield from the roll bar are intented to support the windshield? It’s a good strategy to help reduce stress on the windshield.
“Bright yellow.12 volt conversion with new 1 wire alternator.rebuilt starter, all light including turn work great. Has stoway towbar that folds flat on front bumper.(NO TOP) new master and brake cylinders. Tires are larger radial on white spoke wheels(NO SPARE) New e-brake cable yet to be installed along with 4 leaf after market springs.”
UPDATE: Was $2500. **SOLD**
This looks to be a good foundation for a great little trail jeep. Though this is a non-running project at this point, it does have a number of quality upgrades.

No pics and no price.

This is a non running jeep due as the transmission has been removed.
“Buick 283ci V6, 4” Rancho suspension lift. Muncie 4speed. Transmition has been removed and has a broken spline gear. Trailer not included but is also for sale.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200
This is a project that sounds like it doesn’t run.

Today it’s been all about parts! Here’s another project or possible parts jeep.
“For sale is my 1948 CJ3A Jeep. 4WD. I began the restoration process four years ago and have been unable to continue due to family and job. The old rusted body was removed and a NEW steel body set on the frame (not attached yet) The engine has about 500 miles on a professional overhaul and runs perfect and was not removed from the frame. The entire drive train is still intact. The tires are military NDs and is very good shape. The fuel tank was new just prior to beginning the process. The spare is good the wheel is not. The glass is good. I also have a full metal tip with door (roll sown windows) which is bolted on in the winter. It too is in good shape and may be included for $200.00. If you are so inclined, I also have a full frame and drive train (intact) from a 1953 Jeep Overland Wagon. It has an overhead cam engine, the same transmission and change over case. I’ll throw it in for another $100.00!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200
This might be a good price.
“1948 Willys CJ2A. All original except wheels and 11 inch brakes. New tires. Runs and drives good but smokes a little. Selling because I have two other Jeep projects”
It does not appear to be a VEC CJ-2A.
“1946 Willys CJ2A runs and drives good, new fuel tank, new tires. 601-573-0123. Make me an offer. I will look at trade for camo polaris rzr + cash from me.”
Usual paint job.
“1947 Willys, runs great, new master and wheel cylinders, new steering gear, military tires, two gas cans and roll bar. listing for a friend, no e-mails, contact Dave 417-785-4338, cell 417-844-5790. Thanks for looking.”
It appears to be a running CJ-2A for $1500. I can’t tell what the condition is.
“Original engine, has heavy duty tow bar and skid plates needs a little tlc. Has the original hard top manufactured by Rawson industries very uncommon. $1500.00 negotiable. Call 512 669 3452 or reply to make arrangements to see”
I’m wondering if auto appraisers make their money as a percentage of an appraisal, because every appraisal I’ve seen has been way off of the market value. The one thing I really like about this jeep is the cool old top and doors; it looks in good condition. I’m not sure what a “one piece roll cage” is exactly; maybe it is made from one tube? This jeep has some good upgrades.
“For Sale, 1946 Willys Jeep, Custom built from the ground up. Full one piece roll cage, Warn overdrive (you can split every gear, including reverse). Buick V6, 4 core radiator, power brakes, power steering, tilt / telescoping steering wheel, HEI ignition, manual / electronic fuel pump. This has been in my family for almost 40 years, and was normally ONLY driven to hunt or to get ice cream.”
