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 .
The rear wheel wells have been cut.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
No perfectly stock, but looks in good condition. The serial number is 18936, but appears to be missing indents. I can’t tell if it has a column shift or not either.
“This item for auction is a rare Willys CJ2A Jeep. This is a “VEC” (“Very Early Civilian”) model as it was produced almost immediately after World War II. The VECs share many parts with the legendary 1941 to 1945 Jeeps and is just as indestructible.
I bought this in August as something to tool around in and take out to the desert. Due to health concerns, I’m no longer able to drive it.
The Jeep starts, runs, steers, stops rides etc very well. The motor fires right up and once warmed up, it has an idle as quiet as a sewing machine. The transmission shifts smoothly through all gears, the clutch works great and I just redid the front and rear brakes. The front floor pans were patched in the last few years and are very solid. If you look underneath, you can see where it was repaired. There’s no major body rust and the frame is straight. I replaced the front bumper too.
The Jeep is currently registered though March and has a clear title. It is exempt from onerous emission control regulations.”
UPDATE: Sold on eBay for $1400.
(12/26/2012) The engine is out.
“Selling an old 1946 CJ2A Military type Jeep for parts or restoration. Most of the parts are there and will go with it, including the origional Willys flathead engine. Some of the parts have been taken off the jeep, but these jeeps are fairly simple to work on as you may know. The engine is out and was needing a valve job. It ran but smoked a little. I saw this same model go for over $8000 on ebay when restored. It has like new tires on it with full tread. The body and frame are solid but the body has a few rust spots. The tailgate is rusted at the bottom. The bumpers are there and the Grill appears to be new with chrome on the bars.”
This appears solid.

(12/16/2012) Randy dropped by to see this Lefty. He reports it runs well and does not smoke, but he didn’t test drive it. The floors have been patched and the hat channels and tool box floor are pretty gone.
“This 1948 CJ2A Willys is all original except for seats and wheels. We have the original seats, but need to be upholstered. Engine, transmission and transfer case rebuilt last winter, new rear end installed also. At that time added power steering, have original steering box and shaft, if wanting to go back to original. New battery. Starts and runs good, does not use oil. Original identification plate and transmission/transfer case diagram.
Clear Idaho title.”
UPDATE: Was $2100 **SOLD**
(11/03/2012) This runs, but needs tranny work.
“1948 CJ2A with title $2100.00 Runs and drives fine. 2nd/3rd synchros are out, but I will include a working transmission/tcase in sale. Rebuild kits are available if you’d prefer to just rebuild the transmission. 6v system in place. Carter model WO carb. Superwinch aftermarket hubs.”
