About eWillys
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.
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 .
(08/31/2012) This looks solid and appears to have been extensively rebuilt. The front bow holder looks a little oddly placed.
“Up for sale, 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A. Completely rebuilt, frame off restoration. Call or text for questions, no emails please. 9,500 OBO. If you leave a message please provide a name and contact number.”
“You are looking at a 1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep. The jeep has been totally customized we bought this from an estate who had this jeep done about 25 years ago. The rear of the jeep has been customized into a rear trunk storage area. The jeep runs and drives good with no problems. We believe that the engine is a chevy 283 V8, the transmission is the original 3 speed standard. the wipers, turn signals, and lights all work. The body is in really nice shape with no rust or holes the paint is really nice. there is a small paint blemish on the right front fender. The jeep comes with a soft top and doors there are also some extra covers that come with it that I believe are used to keep elements out when the car is parked with the top off. The top is in good shape. The under carriage is decent no holes in floor however the frame has been repaired in front on both sides near the shock see pics. The interior is in really nice shape with a custom fit carpet the seats are nice with custom wool stitched into the seat. This is a very unique jeep that someone put a lot of time and money into, this jeep is in very good shape for the year.”
$6000 for the jeep and $4000 for the winch. As best as I can tell, the winch looks WWII to me.
“Very nice 1946 Jeep Willys CJ2A 1st year for the civilian jeep with authentic WWII Braden Capstan winch. Runs great has 18,000 miles pretty much all original. Has sat in a barn for most of its life. Minimal rust nothing to worry about. 3 speed manual tranny. 4X4 works great. Comes with 2 tops and 1 set of doors. This jeep is a blast to drive you can fold the windshield down or leave it up. The winch is a fully operational and genuine WWII equipment. Asking $10,000.00 complete or will seperate if you just want the jeep or winch. $6,000.00 for the jeep and $4000.00 for the winch.”
This appears worth a look. It runs. More pictures at the website.
“THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT JEEP. THE ENGINE WILL RUN AND TRANSMISSION DOES SHIFT.

“Selling a cj2a Willys Jeep that needs Complete restoration or for parts. This jeep has no floors but has many valuable parts. The motor is an overhead valve 4 cyl. The drive train alone is worth more than I’m asking. The gears seem to shift ok and the chassis has no rust through. This vehicle must be picked up by the buyer. This jeep is a 4X4 and comes with a bill of sale only.”
