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: Price dropped to $5000.

“What can I say this is a pretty cool fun ride has a 302 in it over drive standard trans dual exhaust good solid body and floors some rust on windshield frame and inside of back lip on hood nice full soft top and doors good wheels and tires very dependable 4×4 Jeep ”
Expect for the military element, this looks pretty original. I don’t see any obvious cancer.

“Own a piece of United States History!
Are you a wanabe bad a$$ or the real thing? Thinking of getting a jeep so you look cool and wave at other jeep people? Please stop.
Dont get a jeep that’s a mall crawler and act like a bad a$$…. Be a real bad a$$ & get you the true, original jeep…….a 1946 Willys CJ2A Flatfender. If you cant handle a 3spd standard behind American v8 muscle, no power steering, no a/c, no heat, no frills, no nothin’ plain Jane, drive it anywhere with the wind up your shorts, cold when its cold and hot when its hot driving experience….then this isnt for you. Go visit Carvana and get a 4runner while you sip your 1/2 caf. double dip latte……
If you drink straight up black coffee with a touch of whiskey…you can handle this CJ2A.
If you pee outdoors regardless if there is an inside bathroom…you can handle this CJ2A.
If you eat your steak rare to medium…you can handle this CJ2A.
If you drink a full bodied American beer…….you can handle this CJ2A.
If you smoke Marlboro reds or Lucky Strike’s…….you can handle this CJ2A.
If you use a chainsaw because you like it…….you can handle this CJ2A.
All kidding aside….283 Chevy V8 & it runs great! Yes…its true…the original flathead 4 cylinder was swapped for a Chevy V8. It was done right and not a hack job. Has all the power you need or want. Fresh tune up to include new:
-Coil
-Plugs
-Plug Wires
-Cap
-Rotor
-Electric Fuel Pump
-Fuel Filters
Has No Points, swapped to Pertronix Electronic Ignition because most people dont know what points are, much less set them correctly.
New Brakes on all 4 corners. They are still drums and you need legs to push the pedal.
Edelbrock 600cfm carb. (manual & elec. choke….you choose), 5.38 gears, locker in rear, 34″ Swampers, Warn lock out hubs, dual exhaust, aux. electric fan, home made HD brush guard/ animal slayer, seat belts, bikini top, ammo can tool box.
Starts, Runs, Drives, Stops like it should.
