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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3900
This needs work! This has a rare louvered hood.
“Roll bar, 289 ford v8, headers, new exhaust, new tries, aluminum wheels, c-4 auto trans, tilt wheel, completely rewired, needs finishing. $3800,”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800
I’ve lightened the pictures as best I can. This body looks like a CJ-2A/3a with a 3B windshield. The rims might be decent. The hood has clearly been modified. I can’t tell much else.
“i have a old willys jeep that has a v8 ford in it and hasnt been started in 10 years my land lord is looking for the title but if he cant find it you could always go to mvd and have them run the vin numbers it cost 25.00 to do and then you get a title mailed to you i was going to do it myself because willys are kind of exspensive but i dont have the time or the money.this was going to be my project but like i said i dont have much time now with work so i am looking to trade for somthing i dont have to do so much to or eaven a old classic car thats been out of service what ever you have give me a call.i wont trade for dressers and clothes either please only trades that are worth whil”

(11/14/2010) Based on the grille, this seems more likely to be a mid to later CJ-2A rather than a 1946. The body appears in good shape.
“Up for auction is a 1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A. 1946 is the first year that civilian Jeeps where built. The Jeep is complete other that missing a windshield. Several pictures have been taken to show the condition. It has solid body and frame. The body does not have rust or Bondo (It has surface rust only). It does have a new gas tank. I have never started the jeep but it will turn over by hand. The radiator and engine are full of antifreeze. This jeep does have a clear title. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. This jeep is pick up only and is located in Alton, Il 62002.”
This is original, expect for the parts that aren’t.

Jim recently purchased this nice looking CJ-2A.
He writes, “Here are a few pictures of my 1947 Willys CJ2A. It has had a ground up restoration several years ago. I bought it out of Kansas and now it is in the California Sierra Nevada Mountains where I use it at our cabin.
The Willys has a new tub body but original hood and tail gate. It has all the original plaques and auto numbers. All other parts reflect the period except a roll bar and a steering stabilizer. The engine runs like a sewing machine.
I am still working on it to make it better and original. The paint job also reflects the year. If I could find a restored flat fender with the original body and in this good of shape I might jump ship. Meanwhile I enjoy driving this vehicle where everything works like it did 63 years ago, which by the way is my age!”
Congrats Jim. It looks like fun 🙂
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700.
“This is a “barn find” ’46 Willys jeep cj-2a complete and original condition. has rare snowplow with hydraulics (Scheneker iron works model “b”plow with Hy-Lo-Jeep monarch belt driven hydraulics). and very rare power take off(p.t.o.) transmission with lever in cab. also under dash heater( an option) and a pto attachment to run an 8 in. belt to drive a pump or farm machinery original in original box(even the box is well made). i bought another car from this guy and fell for this one too, but i have 4 classic convertables already and no room for this one.or time to drive it. also… i can’t get it to turn over! i’m soaking the cylinders now but no luck yet. Willys “go-devil” flathead four “Willys won the contract mostly due to its more powerful engine (the “Go Devil”) which soldiers raved about, ” from wikipedia. has slide in ladder racks also. i always wanted a wwII vehicle and this one could also be useable(plow). but i want a lot of things and it’s a car too far for me”
The rear isn’t looking like ’41 running gear to me. It could be a CJ-2A body. I’m not sure which parts are from a ’59.
“
1946 Jeep Willys in good running condition with very little rust. 1959 Jeep on 1941 running gears included for a parts machine, but this Jeep could also be built up on its own. 770-784-1239.”
