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 $1800.
It runs, drives and even stops. Three important characteristics of a good jeep. Like you need anything else?
“’50s WILLYS JEEP. RUNS, DRIVES, STOPS. RHINO LINER SPRAYED INSIDE AND OUT. TIRES HAVE ALOT OF TREAD LEFT.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This looks like a deal to me.

Here’s a nice looking CJ-2A for our Canadian Readers. My webserver says you exist 🙂

The production of the CJ-2A for 1946 was71,554. This Jeep has been one owner since 1950. It runs very good, transmission shifts great, 4 wheel drive works great. pictures show body wear, Serious inquires, Willys collectors will be very interested.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $850. I assume the unusual windshield is due to the hard top.
Here’s a jeep with an unusual top. and it appears to be a lefty, though the tire is mounted pretty high.
“Project i never had time for, nearly complete except for a few parts that were taken by midnight shoppers. starter air cleaner,carb missing.”
It may run, but it’s not street legal and need some work.

UPDATE: Back on eBay
I don’t understand why this has a working siren? The seller seems very excited about this as if it was an original feature? The seller also includes a long list of the items that have been repaired and replaced.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This appears to be in good condition.
“1947 willys jeep CJ2A 4×4 runs great.Everything works. 3500.00 OBO
The jeep looks very original and in reasonably good condition. I suspect the price will drop slightly.
“The jeep runs great,garage kept,real good condition.65,605 original miles on the original enguine.The pictures will tell a little more about the jeep.Buyer responsable for taxes title transfer,transporting jeep.”
Though this is a VEC columnshift CJ-2A, it doesn’t have the side indents, though they may have been replaced with a sheet metal patch. It does have a rare, wooden interior you won’t find on most jeeps… lol
“LOOK! 1946 Willys Jeep cj2a. This is a low serial number vehicle, a Very Early Cilvilian model with the rare column shift. The body has the indents for the ax and shovel. It has a home made wooden cab and has been changed to 12 volts with a GM Delco alternator.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900
From what the pics show, this is a great price on what looks like a cj-2a in very good shape. Hop on this deal before it’s gone.

UPDATE: With the help of eWillys, Bill sold his jeep. I’ll keep this for historical purposes.
Bill contacted me about selling this jeep he and his grandson have worked on for a few years. I suspect this good looking jeep was simply a bonus to that special time they enjoyed together.
Bill writes, “I have a 1948 Jeep cj2a that I bought in Black Mountain, NC. That was 4 years ago. I have done as much as I can to it. It runs great and we had fun working on it. My grandson Josh and I hung out together for quite a long time and that was fun. ”
The body doesn’t look like a VEC CJ-2A body.

The seller probably has the model wrong on this.
“1946 Jeep Willys CJ3A. Recently installed 350, in good condition. Recently installed rear brake cylinders. Wiring needs to be finished. In good condition and ready to sell.”
UPDATE: This seller also restored this CJ-2A with a similar theme.
A well executed and creative build. These are exactly the kinds of non traditional restorations I’d like to see more of that properly record the wide and varied deployment of the jeep.
The builder/seller writes, “1946 Willys V.E.C. CJ2A #14, 422 – County Sheriff Patrol Jeep: I’m relisting this beautiful Willys with a lower reserve. However, don’t make the mistake of believing that I’m giving it away! I just recognize that the market is soft right now. I know what I have put into this restoration. This is my fourth and final restoration of a 1946 Willys Civilian Jeep (CJ) 2A.
I became interested in the 1946 CJ-2A because it was the first production 4 wheel drive vehicle available to the public and is the grandfather of all modern SUVs. This particular CJ-2A restored as a Sheriff Patrol Jeep was restored as a tribute to my own Grandfather who was a deputy sheriff in Southern California during the 1940’s and early 1950’s. This CJ-2A is a faithful restoration of the type patrol vehicle that may have been used by the sheriff in the California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona back-country. The Federal siren and all Unity lights are period vintage police equipment. The STOP light on the left front fender is a vintage Griffin model used by Military Police on jeeps during the Second World War.
UPDATE: The status of this is unknown.
This is an extremely unusual flattie. The seller provides a great deal of info about it. It’s been featured in various magazines.
“1946 “Willys” Jeep CJ-2. The “Jeepilac” as it is known (Jeep with a Cadillac engine) was professionally built by Johnson Welding Works. They are a local shop and are very well known in the area for building high quality street rods using top quality parts with attention to detail and safety. It has 2,700 miles since the build …. ”
This vehicle was also featured in the movie “Smash Cut“.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9000
