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 .

(03/29/2011) I hadn’t seen a Texas Hunting Jeep in a while. This might be a lefty, too.

“iam selling a 1946 jeep willys. it is the cj2a, it was not milatary registered. it has the original 4 cylinder engine, and has high and low range gears. has a 3 speed standard trans. the body is pretty rough but the motor ran up until 2 weeks ago. i think a relay or the coil is bad. when it is running it dont stop. it needs brakes. the brake pedal is stuck. it would make a good hunting truck or just something to play in. if interested please call (479)692-3481 or you can txt (479)280-2466 ask for drake. serious offers only. please dont email me because i never check it and will not get back to you. thank you”
“I have a 1947 CJ-2A Willys Jeep for sale, engine runs great with L-134 Go-Devil flathead 4-cylinder engine. 6 volt system, has P.T.O attached to transfer case.”
(12/11/2009) The grille on this doesn’t look like a 1946 Grille. I don’t see the bow brackets on the driver’s side either. The rear lights look incorrect … I”m sure there’s more.
“1946 Willis CJ2A-First Civilian Model. Complete restoration from the frame-up. Clear Florida title. 44miles on the motor & drive train. Pics included.”

This is very interesting. The rear on this seems similar to the rear extension on yesterday’s lead Colorado jeep. The seller believes this is an ambulance. I searched for an example of CJ-2A ambulance, but have yet to find any images that verifies one was built (though I’ve seen other extended CJ-2As). It seems more like a utility rig to me, especially given what appear to be utility racks above. I also believe the lack of a siren (or spot on the roof where one was mounted), also suggests it wasn’t an ambulance. None-the-less, the starting bid of $650 is a good price and it would be an interesting rig to restore. The seller provides a great, detailed review of this.
“I have never seen another jeep exactly like this. Its pretty rare. It is a left hand drive (so, its clearly not a postal jeep), its a flat fender, 4 wheel drive Willys jeep with an extended body and ambulance racks. (I do have a similar Swedish Jeep included in the photos for reference.) It needs restoration.
The metal tub is extended 24” and looks to be all original work from the time of manufacturing, it is well done and very unique. The extension is aft of the rear wheels as pictured.
The most amazing aspect of this jeep is the aircraft style aluminum top (“Tin Top”, if you will). The top has what I am told are stretcher ‘stays”. We were told this is an ambulance, and by all appearances, it would function as an ambulance. The top itself is original to the jeep and done professionally, its solid and riveted to perfection.
The top has functioning aluminum side storage doors and rear body aluminum storage doors that open and lock (as pictured). The top interior has metal caged storage areas, all are sturdy and have been in place about 60 years, holding up to the test of time!
The lower body is steel with age appropriate and reparable rust, but has been in California for many years and much of it is surface rust. The floor board rust and a couple other rust areas will need more elbow grease and restoration than other areas and is more than surface rust. You have to ask me questions on this and look at the photos as some of the rust will need actual rust repair. I want you to know the needs of this project so that you are happy with your purchase.
The front grill is temporarily attached for engine replacement, it will need to be bolted back in properly.
The original tail gate is in tact and functioning.
The original tilt-out windshield frame is there, minus the glass (you guys know how easy this is to get replaced).
All original gauges are there (no broken glass!)
All original latches (windshield, seat, etc.) are present
Original drivers seat is present and functioning (needs restore)
Passengers seat present (original?)
Original gas tank
Original shifter levers
Original 4×4 transfer case
Original Axles
Original Transmission
Original Two Piece Hood
Original fenders
Original Tub
Original Steering Wheel
Original Steering Gear
Original aluminum “sun visor” (over windshield area)
Military Style Pintle hitch mount in rear
Tow Bar attached to the front
Has 5 on 5.5 Jeep lugs will need new tires, but rolls freely as is
Will need new brakes, original brake cylinder is in place
Mechanical: The axles, transfer case and transmission are all in the jeep. Both driveshafts have been removed, but the original rear driveshaft and also, 1/2 of the front driveshaft are both included in a large box of parts that go with the Jeep. You guys know you can get these driveshafts with ease.
The engine is not installed but is included as well. It was removed for restoration (so that part of the job is already done!). It will need obvious restoration, but is not clearly not seized as the crank is out of the block. If I were to complete the project, I’d give it an acid bath and re-assemble. You will have to purchase a single rod and piston (which is available at “Border Parts” in San Diego), plus purchase the correct fly wheel (there is a fly wheel, but it does not appear to be correct), everything else is present including motor mounts and the head (as pictured). The engine is what I was told to be the original engine. It is a Willys flat head 4, has an original 1958 job tag riveted to the block (see pictures).
The attached engine job tag shows 2 cylinders, 1 rod and one main bearing was replaced in 1958 (again, see the pictures of the metal riveted on job tag).
The camshaft and valves are still in the block. Also included are 3 rod and piston assemblies, the crankshaft, main bearing blocks, side valve cover, manifold, exhaust, oil pan, head, etc.
MISC. INFO.:
We can not know the actual mileage as the paint has faded.
At some point in the past, a pipe vise was added to the front bumper, it can easily be removed. Also, barely visible below the driver’s windshield is a red stenciled ” FIVE STAR GENERAL” . No, I don’t believe it was a real 5-star general, just a guy who was very happy with his unique jeep.
This Jeep is sold with a bill of sale only, it is a collectible and will need to be restored before going on the road, however, both VIN tags are attached as photographed, this will be an easy registration (and NO smog required :).”
