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: Still Available.
(12/09/2020) This project jeep has a body with its drain holes filled. Possible gov data plate on dash?

“1947 Willys Jeep CJ-2A, partial restoration, solid body, very complete and original, engine needs to be rebuilt, many spare parts.”
This doesn’t run. It’s listed as a 1948, but the data plate and early grille suggest a 1946.

“Willy’s Jeep V-6 Warn front hubs Comes with all sorts of extra parts It ran before I parked it long term”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,400.
Has a variety of updates. The outside has a bed-liner.
“1948 Jeep Willys · Suv · Driven 3,150 mile WITH TITLE!!!!! Time to sale my old Jeep. I use this a lot in the summer as a town and back road cruiser. Its runs perfect and Pretty much everything is new. It’s fully rhino-lined. 350-SBC with the T-90. PB, PS, fuel cell in rear. No frame rust, Brand new 35×12.50” MT tires. Everything works well. Feel free to ask my any questions and I can send videos of running to interested parties. $17k in build”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/28/2020) Runs? The drain holes have been filled, so it’s likely had some body work. Both sides of the body have been notched near the seats.

“1948 CJ2A WILLYS JEEP. THIS 1948 WILLYS HAS PRACTICALLY NO RUST. THIS JEEP IS THE PERFECT RESTORATION AS IT HAS THE ORIGINAL ENGINE, TRANSMISSION AND DRIVE TRAIN. ITS 95% COMPLETE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE SEATS WHICH ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH RESTORATION PARTS. I ABSOLUTELY HATE PARTING WITH THIS BUT WILL NEVER HAVE THE TIME TO RESTORE IT THE WAY I WOULD LIKE”
This VEC CJ-2A still has the column shift and is in pretty original condition. It runs and drives. Drive as is or restore. Includes parts for a rear PTO/gearbox.

Listed as a 1947, this appears to be a 1946 VEC CJ-2A. This has a BW overdrive. And, it might have the Hudson steering mod.

There seems to be some parts value at the very least.

“PROJECT 46 willy’s motor cranks freely just don’t have the money to fix it up at this”
This is a mix of parts. The body is M-38, but the chassis is CJ, probably CJ-3A given the engine and radiator. The Windshield is obviously CJ-2A.

“My father in law has asked me to sell his 1946 Willys. It has a 350 under the hood and is a 3 speed transmission. Runs and drives good just needs a new battery (which we will provide for a serious buyer). Pick up in Springdale. 5500 firm. Wanting to sell for a livescope.”
Not much value in this CJ-2A #41885 (I think that’s the number). The serial number data plate might just be the most valuable item.

“1946 willys cj2a in rough condition”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $9000.
The CJ-2A was the SECOND model sold to civilians? What was the first? Maybe seller meant the second year of sales?
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/146820066834338
“This is a REAL Jeep; it is the SECOND model Jeep sold for/to civilians after WWII. It was rebuilt by the previous owner and has a 4-cylinder, Go-Devil engine, 4-leaf suspension, 3-speed manual transmission, transfer case shifter, and range shifter, military-style tires (in excellent condition), 5-gallon external/spare fuel can (w/spout), and a canvas “summer top” (no sides) w/frame (not pictured). Also has an A-frame tow-bar which bolts to the front bumper. Maximum (street) speed is 45 MPH. Four wheel drive works and has front-axle locking hubs. It is a definite attention-getter, and crowd-pleaser. Would make anyone’s Christmas the BEST EVER! Price is FIRM”
This has a variety of updates. There might be value here if the engine spins.
