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 .
(03/10/2012) This is an oddball. I dont’ see that rim design too often.
“Selling an early 1945 Willys CJ2A Jeep. Frame in good condition. Originally a manual coulmn shift. Rear section of body was modified with a 1930s Ford pickup bed and tailgate. No engine, gearbox, or transfer case. Good for project, or parts.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200. May have a Porter & Reed hardtop
(10/09/2012) This looks to have rust along the driver’s side. It has no title.
“1946 Willys CJ2a jeep that has been used on a deer lease. The jeep runs and drives good. The gauges all work, horn works, lights all work, the four wheel drive works good, the transfer case seal on the front drips gear oil, the transfer case makes some noise but still works good, the engine runs good, the cab on the jeep can come off, but works pretty good in the winter. The jeep does have some rust, this jeep would be good for hunting out of or using on a ranch. The jeep has not been on the road and the title is lost, but will provide a bill of sale to the winner.”
(06/30/2012) Rolling Chassis. It has full floaters, but tough to tell from the pics if the frame/rear is civilian or military.
“Rolling chassie with body…
NO engine, has trans and transfer case, full floating axles
the dash is there with gauges but the glass is cracked, no seats
the windshield frame is complete, but the glass is busted and the hinges are rough
only real rust is on the bottom of the tool box on the passenger side
fenders are straight, its pretty much all there except the engine…even the shift pattern plaques for the trans and t case are on the dash!!”
(09/27/2012) This has a few unusual features. Check out the direction of the claws under the rear bumper. Those could cause some problems on difficult terrain. It also has some neat windshield clamps. I suspect the seller means ‘muncie’ 4 speed and not ‘monkey’ 4 speed. There are many pics of this on eBay.

“1946 Willys. Vehicle has: rebuilt engine, changed to 12Volt, new clutch, radiator, rebuilt rear end, replaced springs, 2″ lift kit, brakes done and work good. Shifts all gears, 2/4 wheel works good and has Warn hubs on front. Steering has usual play which most of it is the Bell crank bushing. Body is not perfect and had floor pans replaced prior to my owning it. Jeep also has PTO take off on transmission. Engine starts easily and maintains excellent oil pressure. New Best Top on vehicle with doors. Jeep has a heater system under dash, not hooked up to water system so I don’t know condition of it. Needs cosmetics for sure! OD green doesn’t do much for it. There is a strong tow bar hook that goes on the front with it. The vin plate numbers on firewall and frame match. Georgia doesn’t issue titles on vehicles prior to 1965. They utilize registration slips which transfer ownership to someone when signed and sold. Was going to fix up and add a snowplow, but I now require something with Automatic shift due to injuries with my hip. The pictures were taken several days ago. Replaced batteries on camera and overlooked setting the date! Sorry about that!”
