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 .
Not all stock, but looks solid.

“Complete frame off restoration was done starting in 2008. New reproduction body was purchased from Willys Overland in Toledo, OH. All drive train components, springs, transmission, engine, etc were either professionally rebuilt and or replaced-all receipts come with purchase. Body and paint work were done by auto body professional in a authentic Luzon Red with harvest yellow rims and accent paint. This vehicle has been driven less than 500 miles since restoration was completed in 2009. I’m regretfully selling this jeep since I have 4 others and I need to part with some of them due family obligations and a major house renovation. It is as stock new as it was it came off the factory floor and is ready for the beach, the mountains, the ranch or the farm.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500
(06/16/2018) Column shift 2A that’s never been restored according to the seller.
“1946 Willys column shift CJ2A. This is a survivor and by that I mean it has never been restored, only maintained. This was purchased new by the same family who owned it for 70 years before I bought it. It was used on the families country home in upstate New York for hunting and fishing mostly and always garage kept. It has never been used to plow. Everything works as it should. It still has the generator but everything was converted to 12V long ago. Other things not stock include 2 taillights and directionals.
The top is original or period correct and the jeep was apparently always used with the top on. All the original hardware for the top is there. That said the top is unique as it’s original but it has some rips and the windows are cloudy. There were floor mats throughout that were removed prior to taking the pictures.The jeep starts, runs and sounds great. It will need a new exhaust. One picture shows the gages and the reading warmed up and at an idle. Column shift works well but going to 2nd takes a getting used too. Wooden box between the front seats is a 4 place rifle rack. The ID tags on the body, dash and frame are all present and with matching numbers. The body on this jeep while original has been “kept up on” over the years with body work as needed. Jeep is being sold with a bill of sale and a NH registration.”
UPDATE: Anyone know who purchased this in September of 2016? I have a reader who is interested in this particular 2A.
This may be worth a look.
“- rear pto
– full hardtop with doors
– 3rd owner
– original paperwork
– runs drives all original”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
Looks solid.
“1946 Willys-Overland Jeep CJ-2A
One owner since 1966. Restored in 1975. Stock original survivor. Carefully used and well maintained. Always stored indoors, no rust, no dents.
This Jeep is equipped with a KOENIG “King” power take off winch with an 8,000 pound capacity. It is also fitted with DUALMATIC Locking Hubs, a ROLL BAR and an accessory rear mounted spare tire carrier. There is NO top.
Recent work:
5 new, 6.00-16 NDT tires on original Kelsey Hayes rims with a fresh powder coated finish. Also, all new brake cylinders and DOT 5 fluid, flushed fuel system, tune-up and timing chain. All fresh running gear lubricants installed along with new hoses, belts and fuel pump. Brakes and clutch work well. There are NO windshield wipers. Factory Tech Manual is included.
Compression is strong. Oil pressure is about 25 psi at idle and jumps to 40+ when accelerated. Gauges, lights, horn all work and there are no steering issues. Upholstery on driver and passenger seat are in excellent condition as is the rear seat except for 3 small (3/8″)punctures. This Jeep starts quickly, runs and drives well. It’s a true classic with all the right classic accessories
Here is your chance to have a nice old Jeep with mild patina that you can enjoy and drive. Or, it could be a remarkably straight, rust free, start for you own restoration project.
AS-IS, no warranty. Clear CA Title, currently non-op status.”
UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $7000.
(06/23/2018) Palisade is near Grand Junction, so the body may be in very good shape still.
“This is a life-long western Colorado automobile. It spent most of its life in Palisade on a peach orchard. There is very little rust.
It has an excellent, professionally built L134 flat-head “Go-Devil” engine with correct carburetor, air filter and original 6V electrical system. The brakes are all new including the brake lines, wheel cylinders and master cylinder. The exhaust system is also all brand new. The seats are redone with the correct springs and covers.
This is a very good candidate for a full restoration, or to bump around the mountains in something with character.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,500.
Travis shared this one. Has a replacement tailgate.
“Restored 1947 driven very little since resto. New interior, new Best-top. Condition is original and speaks for itself. I do not need help selling this vehicle-pls. do not ask. Texts will be returned, but very slowly.”
Looks in good shape. Front Bumper might be bend slightly upward.
