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 .

It looks like a M-38 body on a 2A chassis.
“1948 willy runs good original engine drive train. 4 wheel drive works good 4 cyl. 3 speed with military tires in great condition. good seats with back seat new top with new doors that never been installed.”

At the moment I do NOT have a title for the jeep…..I DO have a copy of it and I am working on getting it just not sure if I will be able to (The previous owner who has the title is older and in very bad health). I WILL ADD TO THE DESCRIPTION IF I DO GET IT”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,000
(12/1/2013) “1945 Willys CJ2A Jeep – original frame but everything else was a complete rebuild. Too many things to list here but the jeep features disc brakes, steering upgraded to all steel knuckles, rockers are Crane Cams Gold Race, Dynomax Super Turbo mufflers, new rims and tires 33″ all terrain, engine was custom built by SFD Engines of Dallas 330 hp & 425 foot lbs torque.”
This looks great, though I’m a little surprised it wasn’t redone with the column shift. That got me thinking, was it possible to order an early CJ-2A with a floor shift?
“Very early production with matching numbers. This Jeep has undergone a complete ground-up restoration to original condition. It has the original 134cid 4 cylinder engine and T90 3-speed manual transmission with T-18 Spicer transfer case. Each and every piece on the classic Jeep has been dissembled, media blasted, rebuilt, reconditioned or replaced to achieve its as new condition. This Jeep has been finished in the correct Pasture Green color with Autumn Yellow wheels with Pasture Green pinstripe. This Jeep has less than 100 miles since restoration. Upgrades include stainless steel valves with hardened seats for unleaded fuel, carburetor (original included) and transfer case counter shaft upgrades. Start to finish album and documentation of restoration included. SHIPPING: Actual delivery cost will be the responsibility of the buyer.”

Andy’s selling this VEC CJ-2A along with some nice extras.
“Very Nice and rare early production Cj2a. Has column shift transmission, and rare full rear PTO with drum pulley attachment. Jeep runs great, brakes will need some attention.
Body is overall in nice shape for the year. Has some issues in the floor braces. Frame is overall nice condition, has some added metal on the front bumper that can be fairly easily removed. Original rails and gussets are intact!
Very good candidate for full restoration. This jeep has not been abused or modified, true barn find!.
Clear NY title. Sold as is, with no warranties. Please email questions. Thanks”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1300
This looks like a good deal, especially if it runs. It’s not 100% stock though.
“1948 Jeep Willys for sale 100% Stock $1,300.00 Firm please call rob”
UPDATE: Still Available
(12/11/2013) The title is from Colorado.
“Check it out! This is a titled 1946 CJ2A SN#14264. Body in fair condition but will need some patching. This is a Colorado CJ, the steel is bent in places but hardly any rust – this is solid steel. The body is complete – tub, fenders, grill, hood, and windshield. Wheels, axles, steering intact, this thing rolls and steers. A previous owner added the rollbar and aftermarket seats, but this could be returned to original or customized. Has original motor and transmission. Vehicle started when I got it in January 2013.
I bought this vehicle for my own restoration but my project is headed in a different direction now. This is a great find for a restoration – why buy a flimsy repli-tub for $3500 when you can have a solid original for less?
Vehicle has a clear Colorado title.
Buyer must pick up. No delivery. Reasonable offers considered. Serious offers only. Reply to this post with a good e-mail address and phone number. I will send photos to serious buyers.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
Sean is correct (see comment below). It appears the column shift was not original (as I first thought), especially given the hole in the transmission cover for a standard tranny tower (which I missed). I’d suggest examining it closely before buying.
“1946 column shifter. Runs and looks great. Must see to appreciate. Current registration. Street legal. Moving so must sell.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7400.
(10/22/2013) Not 100% original, but looks good.
“1946 Willys Jeep…Completely Original…Must see! Runs great. $7500.00
