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 .
This has been painted a little and the price has dropped. It’s sure unusual.

“1948 Willys Model CJ-2A Jeep — older (1991) restoration by Willy’s of Minneapolis, MN costing $10,000 (have receipts showing complete mechanical rebuild and repaint). I am told the Jeep originally came from a North Dakota farm. It has the original tub which is very solid with no evidence of rust or major bodywork. Cosmetically, the Jeep is ‘parade’ ready; it’s not a show vehicle. The paint shows very well and has a few chips and scratches here and there. It is very clean from top to bottom. Mechanically, this jeep is very tight and everything works as it should. It starts, runs, and drives great — like it did in 1948.
Recently, the tires, brakes, shocks and springs have been renewed all around. It was converted to 12 volt with an alternator for ease of charging. When this conversion was made, they removed the oil filter assembly. I have a new replacement assembly from Walck’s that goes with the purchase as well as owners and parts manuals. There are no leaks, but a drip or two will show up on the floor after sitting for a time. The Jeep does not come with top bows or canvas top.”
It has some issues, but does have a rear PTO (missing shaft). Looks very restorable.

The step area has been modified, but it looks like pretty clean work.
“I am selling my 1946 Willys CJ2A jeep. Completely redone so all you have to do is drive and enjoy. Jeep has seat belts and a Bimini top. This jeep is fun, fun, fun and won’t last long. Best way to contact me is call me at 502 297-3048 or email.”
This looks in good shape. The pics show a battery missing.
“Comes with a bunch of accessories bought over the years at the Hershey swap meet and various other place. The engine has been completely rebuilt by the owner (among other things), who happens to rebuild engines for a living so you know it’s been done right. It’s been garaged for many years and has had a recent paint job, though there are some spots places where retouching might be required. It runs and can be demonstrated that it drives fine.”
The seller believes the jeep with the hardtop is a MB, but I don’t see it.
“I have 2 willys jeeps, one is a 1946 cj2a willys with a 225 dauntless v-6 out of a newer cj5, needs to be restored, the other is a 1945 mb willys, came from Colorado and has original steel hardtop made by Rawson-Koenig, heater and a original engine that has been in pieces for a lot of years. It is in better shape than the other, the orange one is the 1945 and the red is the 1946.. Interested in all offers.. Please e-mail me with any questions thanks

“1948 Willys CJ2A all Iowa barn find Missouri title. Jeep has been sitting for 30 years so its not up and running but all original and complete. Was going to be a rebuild project but I only have room for one of the two I have.”
This is a one family owned CJ-2A bought new in San Francisco. It’s a column shift. It appears solid. It has an Allstate Half Top.
“This is a 1946 CJ2A that was purchased new by my Grandfather in mid 1946 in San Francisco. It was his only vehicle up until the early 60’s when he bought a Simca which was easier on my Grandmother to get in and out of. I have owned it for 25 years and it last ran 10 years ago when I put in a fresh Carb and a new gas tank. I drove it up under the canopy at my auto restoration shop and it is still there. The engine is NOT stuck and should be easy to start. It is a very easily restorable vehicle and is one of the rare jeeps with the 3 speed shift on the column. Jeep went back to all shifts on the floor later in the model year. The Sears Allstate cab was installed in the early 50’s and I have the original canvas doors as well as some of the rest of the canvas coverings. I also have the original sales contract that will go with the Jeep. I have long wanted to restore this for myself, since I learned to drive on it. However, I have come to the realization that there will never be the money for me to do it, and my son really has no interest in it or a place to keep it when it is done, so it is time to get it into the hands of someone that will re-do it and enjoy it. Pretty much any and all parts that might be needed are available.
Payment will be $100 deposit paid with PayPal within 48 hours of the end of the auction. The remainder needs to be paid with cash or CC within 30 days of the end of the auction. I can keep it right where it sits for 6 months with no charge to you, and if you are not able to handle the restoration yourself, we might discuss my doing it for you. To see what I do, go to buzzardroostmotors.com . Feel free to call me, at 870-421-1693 days or 870-425-8507 evenings to ask any questions you might have. My web site has all my contact info and my email address so you can ask for more pics if you want. I can deliver the Jeep anywhere in the US for $1.25 per mile one way. I am in north central Arkansas.”
