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 $3000
This CJ-2A looks like it’s in very good shape. Except for the diamond plating, it appears pretty stock.
“1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep. Original f-head 4 cyl motor(milage unknown), 3 speed tranny, twin stick transfer case, New paint and diamond plate, New roll in bed liner, 12volt electrical, New 5 gal. gas can and holder, towbar and hitch. 3000.00 OBO Cash only.”
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
“This Jeep is being relisted from about 3 weeks ago. Up for sale is a 1946 Willys Jeep that I bought from an an elderly gentleman’s estate sale in February. This is a very early CJ2a that originally came with a column shift. I have not had the time to devote to rebuilding it and now I must sell it to make room for other vehicles. I got this jeep running with a basic tune up. It has a Buick 231 V6, power steering conversion and add on turn signals. This jeep does need work. The front left frame horn appears to have a slight tweak downward on the left side.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
“Leave the tow rig at home, this jeep gets 25+ mpg and cruises at 70 mph. Built with an all DOM tube chassis it’s super strong and only weighs 2000 lbs. Has long arm 4 link suspension for a lot of travel off road.
The entire drivetrain is from a 4 cyl. 1997 wrangler. Fuel injection and emissions are hooked up. Why show up at the trail in a rig that looks just like everybody elses?”
It looks like the seller put some effort into this rebuild.
“1946 WILLYS CJ2A, 2.5″ SPRINGLI, FT, 36″ SUPER SWAMPER TIRES, T18 FORD 4SPEED w/LOW 1ST GEAR, 1970 JEEP/BUICK 225 V6 (DAUNTLESS CROSSFIRE) WAS BUILT BY ENG.-MACHINE SHOP – BORED & STROCKED TO 3.9 LITER, 1983 DANA 30 FRONT & DANA 44 REAR W/ ARB AIR LOCKERS FRONT & REAR, DISC. BRAKES FRONT- DRUM REAR. I BUILT THIS JEEP 8 YEARS AGO AND DROVE IT ABOUT 3000 MILES, JOB TOOK ME OUT OF TOWN AND THE JEEP HAS BEEN STORED FOR 5 YEARS.. I RUN IT ABOUT EVERY THREE MONTHS DURING STORAGE.”
If you are looking for an early CJ-2A, this has got some good elements, including the driver’s side cutouts, the column shifter, and a heater. The passenger side fuel hole is interesting; I don’t believe that was stock?
“This early CJ-2A has an ID number of 16741. It is a 3 speed on the tree. It has a clear MO title. Below is the description: Motor – Org. 4 cylinder. Just got back from machine shop. All four cylinders were re-sleeved. Crank was polished. New pistons, valves, springs, etc Everything still in boxes as you can see by the pictures. Interior – I have no seats. Does have a roll bar. Floor is solid, except for the “bed”. It should be cut out and fitted with new metal. Exterior – The only rust I can see is the passage side step. Some of the Hat Channel underneath will need to be cut (maybe 3 feet) Tailgate is orginal, but is pretty rough. I have no windshield and I don’t believe the hood is org. because there is no Willys stamped on it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
“I have a 1948 willys jeep with a flathed 4 it runs good drives good and looks good. no rust body is strieght.I asking 1500 for it or trade for a small car or pickup for same value.”
UPDATE: I do not know whether this sold or not. I’ll keep for historical purposes.
Obviously, these don’t appear every day. Note that this one has been stretched 6 inches, which makes it ideal for placing on a CJ-5 frame. It appears to have a solid back, like a DJ-3A.
“Very Cool!! RARE!! Stainless Steel Willys Jeep Body Hand built in the philippines in the 1970’s and was shipped to the states. Streched 6 in. in door & 6 in. Behind the rear fender. The Body will fit right onto a CJ-5 Frame It’s a Must sale for me… I simply need the money. “
Here’s a restored CJ-2A out of New Mexico.
“1946 Willys CJ2A, classic Jeep restored to original condition w/careful attention to detail, frame off restoration, every component of drive train rebuilt including the GO DEVIL flat head, L-134 engine, transfer case and transmission, new Spicer fron axle shafts, new brake lines, wheel cylinders and master cylinder, ignition converted to 12 volt solid state, Jeep comes w/open-sided, canvas, trail top and adjustable tow bar, $9500 or best offer.”
This looks like a very solid, clean CJ-2A. I think the opening bid price on this is pretty reasonable.
“You are bidding on an original rarely seen 1947 Willys Jeep CJ-2A that has been mechanically restored to use as an excellent daily driver, cruise nights, a shore summer house Jeep conv. or off-road 4×4. It is an original Willys Jeep CJ-2A 4×4 it now has a back seat, with full bucket seat interior, electric wipers, 3 speed manual transmission many great upgrades and so much more.”
Looks pretty stock.
“Willys jeep mostly CJ2A, F-head 4 cyl, 3 speed trans, new brakes, new wiring, 12 volt. Runs good, drives good on road and off. $2000”
Brian found this unique ’46 on eBay. No doubt there’s a certain personal touch to this CJ-2A.
“For sale I have a 1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep. It runs good, all 4 WD works properly. It needs rear brake drum installed, I have the drum. It has all new brake shoes and wheel cylinders, duel rear wheels needs wiring work for lights to all work. The jeep was my dads he had it since 1962 it was always kept in the garage. The body is in pretty good shape for a 46. It was painted in 1995 and it had floor patches welded in 5 years ago. The snow plow, hydrolic up and down manual left and right. I just put in a new interstate battery. It was converted to a 12v system. Thanks for looking, ask any and all questions. The jeep is for sale locally, I can stop the auction at any time!!!!!”
An olds V6? It’s so uncommon, that I had to look up the engine to learn more about it. According to Wikipedia, a version of the Buick 231 or 3800L was used between 1975-1980 in the Starfire GT. The only difference I can see is that the alternator is on the driver’s side rather than the passenger side. I’m not sure where the powersteering pump is located.
“Nice running flat fender Willys CJ2A. Olds V6 w/recent valve job. Headers. Stock transfer and trans. P/S, manual brakes. New battery and alternator. 12 volt conversion. Rebuilt carb, master cyl. All new brakes. Tires are fair, with matching new spare (not shown). High lift jack. Roll cage. Soft top with doors. (not shown). Gas tank relocated under rear deck. Stock tank removed but included.

UPDATE: Price is now $1500
This jeep sports the same seats (driver’s seat and rear passenger seat) that I have. I could use those seat covers!
“set up for sand, 2wd dana 44 with 5.13 gears and a spool, ladder bars, 400 small block with 2.05 valve heads, screw in studs, guide plates and port work, roller rockers, aluminum intake, holley carb, th350 thrans with shift kit and 3500 stall, auto meter gauges, has been sitting for a long time and needs carb rebuilt and a few other things to run. $1500 obo or $800 with out motor and trans”
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $800.
“this is a unfinished project. has new ps box mount fabed 1976-86 cj springs front axle pushed forward 2 inches for tires room stainless steel dash and lots lots more. dana 60 5 lug rear unfinished 44 front or toyota axles front and rear you pick also many other parts clear title”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $950
The seller has added some additional images. For $950, I think this is worth a look.
No engine. This is a good restorable jeep. t90 tranny and dana 18 transfercase work. Nice aluminum wheels. throw in a buick v6 and drive it. some hundreds of dollers in newer suspension work. Hate to sell it, but need cash.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2250.
Looks like it needs some work. The price will likely drop some.
“1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A, same owner since 1971, was a farm Jeep, stock motor/trans., not butchered – great project. Runs and drives good, needs wiring/lights,top,other work. Some parts, stock 15” wheels included. Will trade/part trade for 2002 or newer Honda XR100R, CR250R, may consider other interesting Honda motorcycle. E-mail with phone # for more info. “
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800
Since it’s been trailered, maybe the running gear’s in good shape?
“46 Willys flat fender, Buick V6, turbo 400 trans, power steering, tilt wheel, needs some work BEST OFFER, also have extra jeep parts”
The jeep might not run, but if the top is as good as it looks and the winch works, then this is a good deal.
“All original, flat head 4cyl, twin stick transfer case, even the oil fill air filter. New fuel pump, rebuilt gas tank, newer soft top, newer carb. It doesn’t run now but it wouldn’t take much to get it there.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2100
“This is a 1947 CJ2A Willys jeep that does not run but comes with a rebuilt engine that’s been converted to 12 VDC. The rebuilt engine requires installation. The front hubs are lockouts. Have a clear Mich title”
UPDATE: Was $500. **SOLD**
Check out the rear end on this jeep. If that’s a modification, then when it was done, it was done nicely (now it’s a bit beat up). If that’s original, then it is rare! I’ve done some searches, but they haven’t yielded any suggestion that this is a production length….
“I am selling a 1949 willys jeep it was running last yaer and I was going to overhaul the moter just never got around to it this jeep is in great shape.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $550
It says it’s never been used, but it looks like the front clip was ready to be installed. If it is in as good as shape as advertised, then this is a great price.
“Willy’s Jeep CJ2A, CJ3A, or MB Fiberglass Tub with Steel Fenders, grill, & tailgate. It’s never been used, no cracks – good shape! Also has a fiberglass tailgate included. There is a frame included if you want it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500

It looks like a nice jeep. If it is really a 1949 CJ-2A (rather than a CJ-3A), than it’s one of only 2182 produced that year.

Is this that barn find you were hoping to run across? 31 years in the barn — no mention if it stills runs.
“49 willys all original,it has been stored in our barn since 1987 and I need the space, priced accordingly, $2000.”
