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 has the windshield for the early Worman, Willys-Overland hardtop.

“1946 willy’s jeep what you see is what you get no moter or Trans rolling chassis what you want to do to it anything possible 2500 obo no trades no payments”

This looks in good shape.
“The Jeep CJ models are a series of open bodied off-road vehicles built and sold by several successive incarnations from 1945 to 1986. In fact, the 1945 model was the world’s first mass produced 4 wheel drive vehicle for civilian use. As a result the CJ stands for Civilian Jeep.
In 1946 it was equipped with the L34 134ci Flathead 4 cylinder which was nicknamed the “Go Devil” that is mated to a column shifted Borg Warner T90 3 speed manual transmission. This sweet Jeep is also equipped with 3 very rare options making it extremely desirable which are the front tow bar, the rear draw bar (hitch) and the rear bumper mounted Power Take-Off (PTO) which was designed to drive equipment mounted at the rear of the vehicle through a shaft drive assembly. It is also used to drive trailered equipment, operate belt driven machines and shaft driven winches.
The seller has a variety of parts, including what looks to be an FC door. The body appears to be a VEC CJ-2A.

“1945 Willys CJ1 Body and motor in great condition Motor: ‘65 Corvette engine $5,000 OBO”
Seller is convinced this is a 1945, but to me the serial number of 13345 indicates it is an early 1946.

“945 Willys CJ-2a. Heavily modified, setup for an old corvette engine with auto tranny. Complete Koenig king winch and Kelly hard top. None of the 45 stuff is left other than the body frame axles and possibly T-case. Not a single data tag either, but the serial is stamped into the frame by hand, #10938. Body is in pretty good shape rust wise but has plenty of dings and bondo from the era when they wanted em SMOOTH on the outside.”
Listed as a 1947, it appears to be a 1946 VEC.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(04/10/2023) John shared this early CJ-2A. It’s had a few updates, but the indents and column shift are still there. There has been some body work (such as the elimination of the spare tire carrier mounting holes), along with new paint. If the underside on this is solid, it may well be worth a look at this price. I don’t impinge it would take too much to bring this back to stock.

Listed as a 1948, this has a column shifter. Looking at the interior pic of the left side, this might have had indents that were filled in. Unclear how much value is here given the engine issue and body rust.
