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 .

“Have a good rolling chassis from a 1947 CJ2A. I’m keeping the body but hate to scrap the chassis and axles.
The axles are complete as far as I know, but came with a spare set of repeza jointed front axle shafts. As well as the front and rear driveshafts.
No title, just bill of sale.”

(07/11/2010) “Well-modified vintage ’47 Willys Jeep CJ2A – popular engine conversion and upgraded brakes : running 3.8-Liter Buick V6 231 with new Chevy disc brakes up front all new parts for the original 9 inch drums. Improved handling courtesy of Saginaw manual steering inluding a tilt GM style column from a CJ7. Spring over lift using original springs with new Skyjacker Shocks and Ubolts. Fenders and hood have been removed for convience. T90 transmission rebuilt for the engine conversion — mostly new internal parts just needs installed along with your choice of clutch activation. Many new or refurbished parts. CLEAR TITLE (not common for a 1947 jeep). This is the old flatfender jeep everybody wants!.
Why such a bargain price? A few parts are needed and some just need to be put back on.
Extras (negotiable):
– second Buick V6 (disassembled)
– 2 soft tops and doors (plus another set of white soft doors)
– additional transmissions and transfer cases.
– 2 T90 advanced adapters
– GM bell housing adapters and a Novak Ford adapter

“1946 Willys Jeep with original flat head engine. All original tub, fenders, hood, and windshield. All original instrument panel. This vehicle runs and drives. Significant tune up including cap, rotor, plugs and wires recently replaced. Gas tank re-lined. Brake shoes and master cylinders replaced. Passenger side windshield is cracked. Body is in very good shape. This car is parked in Southern Maine (Old Orchard Beach). Only seriously interested calls please to set up an appointment.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000
Looks like the column shift has been switched out. Looks solid otherwise.
“Very clean 1946 Willys CJ2A. All original except an important upgrade to a dual reservoir master cylinder (for safety purposes). Excellent working condition, I have done all the work on it over the past 3 years… fairly extensive restoration and has been painted in its original colors; Pasture Green with Autumn Yellow wheels. Paint is not perfect 8/10. Body is rot free thought there are certain areas where rust was once a problem. No shakes or wobbles at speeds in excess of 60+ MPH. Flathead 4 cylinder is reliable, leak free and powerful. I use it the way it was intended to be used when it was built in 1946, it’s a work vehicle but it is maintained properly. No mechanical issues: holds good oil pressure, no overheating, 4wd works, etc.”
