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 .
This is listed as a 1944, but is more likely a CJ.

“1946 Military Willys CJ2A has a lot invested into it. I have really enjoyed it but it’s time to part ways. It needs some work. Pm for more details it won’t let me type anymore. Needs timing and has exposed wires. I didn’t do the build but you can tell by looking what it’s got! It’s an all custom build and one of a kind. It’s not a Willy’s title as that was lost a long time ago. So what it has is a Clean Suzuki samurai title from the frame, engine, and transmission. It’s powered by a rebuilt fuel injected samurai motor and transmission which is a 1.6L 4 speed manual transmission with 4hi and 4L. It has brand new spark plugs, plug wires, distributor motor, Distributor cap, and rotor. 5.13 gears with a rear E-locker that is geared to be on all of the time, Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 front and rear axles, FJ60 leaf springs, and FJ60 front manual center locking hubs. Make offer. No low ballers please.”
This militarized 2A looks pretty solid overall.

“I pulled the transmission and transfer out to replace the seals and went down the rabbit hole. All new herrings, shafts, and gears in the T90 but I stalled out and it’s been sitting in the garage for 3 years. The soft top is brand new. I’ve got all new engine and tranny mounts. Previous owner did a lot of work including the 12 volt conversion and swapping to the F4 engine.”
Listed as a 1944, this seems to be a CJ-2A body and chassis. No title.

“1944 Willys Jeep, this is a project. The engine is missing a few parts. I pulled this Jeep out of a field, the hood and fenders wasn’t on the Jeep. I shot the primer to show it can be a great project. I have another Jeep that has same engine, I can let you have that engine also, if you pull it. Come take a look. Comes with bill of sale”
This may make a good project.

“Can you believe FB has no option for a CJ Jeep! This is a 1946 CJ-2a even though it is titled as a 1947 for some reason. Vehicle is in very good shape no dents no rust it has had numerous body panels professionally replaced skimmed and prepped for paint. It has an f-head engine conversion that runs well, new tires, shocks and some suspension components. New seats . Has a new in box 12 volt conversion kit also. No top or doors. Comes with tow bar and a trailer hitch . This is a very good start towards a really nice Willys Jeep! I just decided I wanted something a little bit more Creature Comforts and not as nice to take up into the mountains…this is too nice to get dents in”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $4000.
This may be one of the custom CJ-2A trucks sold out of Spokane (or it is a truck chassis with modified 2A body). This might differ from the “CJ-2Ls”, which had extended bodies to match the longer frames. It would be interesting to compare this frame with the CJ-2L frame. The half-top could be a remodeled Worman full-top.
This bottom ad describes a long-wheel base jeep with half cab made of wood. It’s plausible a similar vehicle was made with a metal half cab.
It’s a militarized CJ-2A that looks in good shape.
