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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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: Was priced at $900. **Status Unknown**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
This needs an engine rebuild at the very least.
“1948 WILLYS FLAT FENDER JEEP. 4CYL. 3SPD. W/OVERDRIVE .RUNS BUT SMOKES SO PROBABLY NEEDS RINGS ?. I WAS GOING TO PUT A CHEV. V-8 IN IT, BUT WENT ON TO OTHER PROJECTS. NICE PROJECT . $3500.00”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $35,750.
Bill spotted this … as he suggested, sit down …. the auction estimate was $12,000 – $17,000 which in itself is an inflated price in my opinion. However, this past weekend this franken jeep sold for $35,750.
“63 hp, 134.2 cu. in. flathead four-cylinder engine, Carter carburetor, three-speed manual gearbox with low-range, four-wheel drive with live axles front and rear with semi-elliptic leaf springs, four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Wheelbase: 80″
– From the Bill Jacobs Collection
– Only 578 miles since total nut-and-bolt restoration
– Original Forest Service Jeep with shovel and axe included
– 4WD with low range, trailer hitch, full gauge package
The 1946 Jeep offered here is beautifully finished in white. It was reportedly the property of the US Forest Service and carries the appropriate axe and shovel. It was the subject of an extremely detailed two-year restoration in 2001 by Jim Neirynck of Macomb Township, Michigan.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
There’s some value here. Looks like a good cage and the body appears solid too.
“This is a 1948 CJ2A with a clear title. It is sitting on a DJ frame and has a center mount Dana 44 rear end. The floor boards are rusted but the toolbox and dash are good. The windshield frame,hood, fenders and grille are also good. Pretty nice rollcage. No drivetrain.”
At $200 there’s some value.
“1946 Jeep Willys flat fender, body, and 3/4 ton running gear. Project. 886-0710”

Mike asked me to post his 1946 CJ-2A for sale.
He writes, “It’s been rebuilt from the ground up, almost all original, and runs and climbs like a damn billy goat! The windshield is off a newer willys, the previous owner did this. I put in the new gauges.
The previous owner had a 1/2 inch solid square steel rod installed around the edge, he said he thought the steel was flimsy there, and when he took his grandkids wheelin’, when they were climbin in and out of the Willy’s he wanted it stronger and more rigid. Very nicefully done.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $700
It runs.
“48 Willys Jeep runs good, smokes a little, needs gas and a battery. $700 OBO”
This appears to be a solid jeep that was restored with care. But, to label this ‘museum quality’ is, well, to put it gently — with great restraint — is inaccurate (for starters, too many non-original parts). Also, ‘Light Green’ is not one of three colors of a 1946 CJ-2A of that vintage (that is, post vin#38221); instead there were 6 color schemes (all listed at the CJ-2A Page’s history section).
“For sale is a restored 1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A. The Jeep’s body and visible parts were restored to show quality. All engine parts were kept spec. Jeep runs great and is stored in a garage all year long. The following is a list of stock parts and upgrades: Complete engine restoration, New windshield, New gauges, New Paint (1946 Light Green) one of 3 original colors, 4 New Non-Directional Tires, New gas tank, New brakes (Hand brake also works). Odometer was not working when the vehicle was bought. It is unknown how long the odometer was not working. Odometer has since been fixed. Approximately 50 miles or less on the restored motor.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** was $2500.
(12/15/2010) This looks in decent condition, but needs some work.
“1948 Jeep Willys CJ2a 4×4 ( great for a rock crawler project? ); 4 cyl ( looks like all original drivetrain ); Aluminum wheels & tires come with it. 4×4; Clean body for a 1948 have looked at a few in vegas this one is nice for the money. Needs work not a driver. Was told it ran a year ago cranks over but needs fuel line work and fuel tank cleaned out, Also ignition switch missing. Email for more pics. Clean Nevada Title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** This was priced at $2600
It runs, but has some rough edges.
“i have a 1946 willys jeep cj2a motor runs good , first gear in trans. makes noise,, brakes ok,, gauges work ,,light all work,,floor pan a little rough but outsides good ..$2600.00 obo”
UPDATE: Colin reports the Surrey sold for $23,000 plus a $2300 buyer’s premium (see comments). Thanks for the followup!
