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: Price dropped to $3500.
(03/03/2022) it does have a rear PTO gearbox.

“90% original 46 willys Jeep with a PTO on the back”
It runs, but needs work.

“Looking to trade 1948 Willys CJ-2A for another interesting vehicle project; sports, classic, muscle car etc. Also would consider speed parts, engines. Etc.
This jeep had been at my grandfathers hunting cabin for as long as I can remember, sat for a long time but with fluid change and tuneup fired right up. I converted to 12 V and pointless distributor along with new carburetor and master cylinder. Comes with several extra new parts. No title it was lost long ago so best for trail rig farm use.
Have video of it running I can share, no smoking knocking etc. Water pump is getting a bit noisy but I have a brand new one that is included just needs to be installed.”
The engine is supposed to run.

“Complete unit needs transmission work running flat head”
It sounds like the floors may need to have the hat channels replaced at some point.

(01/23/2021) Has a variety of updates.
https://wausau.craigslist.org/cto/d/port-edwards-willys-jeep/7456072224.html
“1948 Willys Jeep. Everything new or rebuilt. 225 Dauntless, Borg Warner T10 4 speed, Hurst Shifter, Dana 20 Transfer Case, 1973 Dana 30 front and Dana 44 rear axles with 373 gears.”
It’s listed as a 1946, but has a later grille and driver’s side spare tire holes, so it may be a 1948 Lefty.

“1946 willys CJ2A jeep project…body is fair, good tires”
The chassis appears to be from a CJ, but the body looks to be from an MB.
https://omaha.craigslist.org/pts/d/omaha-1942-willys-mb-jeep-ww2/7462185017.html
“This is a project jeep, rolling chassis, started cutting out bad body metal, have some new replacement metal. New tires, body is on a homemade rotisserie thats included.”
This jeep has some early Husky hubs (see how they should look), but they are missing the levers to engage/disengage 4wd.

“1946 Willys
Runs great.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(02/20/2022) The body looks in great shape. The custom console under the dash seems a nice fit (though probably not easy to get to given it is behind the shifters).
https://denver.craigslist.org/cto/d/paradise-1948-jeep-willys/7458106559.html
“Very nice finished Willys with newer Buick overdrive V-6 Detroit locker rear end with floater kit, 11 inch brakes. 4×4 lifted with tight suspension. Tow bar connector under front bumper. Solid straight body and undercarrige. Newer seat also has good floors and tub. This rig really likes to go fishing. Clean title $12,000 Plains Mt.”
This looks in good shape. Is that a heater blower on the dash? I don’t recognize it. The green windshield piece on the interior must be a defroster?

“1946 CJ2A Willys Jeep. Buick V6, runs good. Lots of work done and recent parts. Very nice best top and doors.”
