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: Still Available
(01/05/2010) Here’s a rust bucket.

This appears to be a collection of Jeep parts, probably based around a CJ-3A.
“For sale: 1940s to 1950’s Jeep. Rebuilt Ford 260 C4 transmission. Lots of new parts. Over $6000 invested. Asking $3000. Call 603 491 0731.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was7500.
(10/10/09) There’s nothing I see to indicate this is a M-38 body, accept for the dash panel. But, it’s missing the battery box lid, the jockey box in the dash, drain holes, and a gas inlet at the very least.
“Up for sale is a nice 1946 Willys the original four cylinder is out and I have it but there is a V-6 under the hood and runs out good with lots of power. It is a M-38 Military body. There are 35-12.5-15’s on the jeep now but I also have a new set of 31”s for the jeep if you want smaller tires. This is ONE SWEET JEEP!!! Call for more Imf. ”
UPDATE: This is back on eBay
“1946 CJ2A. Western vehicle, stored winters, very solid. Has three speed column shift. Comes with both aluminum hard and original soft top. Heater works. Jeep is blue, but original green paint shows in some locations. Third photo shows tool box floor – only surface rust, not rusted through like you find in many. Family owned for many years prior to my purchase. Starts and runs, stops fine. Shifting is a bit tricky and could use adjustment, but otherwise good to go. This was going to be a keeper, but unfortunately I need to sell. I’m pretty firm on price, but will entertain reasonable offers. Serious inquiries only please. I prefer if you contact me on my cell phone 608-212-3995 with questions.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200
(10/05/2010) This appears to be a project.
“1948 Jeep. Motor and transmission from a CJ 7. Comes also with 2 sets of wheels and tires. $ 1200.00 or best offer”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
This has a variety of updates.
“46 Willies Jeep, Steel Body, 225 Buick V-6, Frame is a 76 Jeep Box Frame, Dana 44 axels’ Front & Rear W/lockers, 3:73 gear Ratio, 4 speed transmission, T-18 Transfer Case, 4 wheel Disc Brakes, Power Steering, Electric Wipers. $5500.00 or best reasonable offer.”
This has some serious rust. However, I think I see some tool indents, which suggests a VEC.
“1946 Willy’s. Has rust in tub and floor. No engine, but have most components, transmission, transfer case, starter, carburator, altenator, air cleaner, etc… Tow bar and tail gate in good condition. Dog house has been removed, but is all there. $500 OBO. Please leave a voice mail at 502.419.3772. No Title”

This looks to have a solid Beck Hardtop. This might not be a bad price.
“—FUN VEHICAL,—GREAT FOR CLUB HOUSE, FARM, TIMBER OR ROAD. 4 CYLINDER ENGINE, 4X4 WITH 3 SPEED TRANS & LOW LOCK, NEW BRAKES, FLUIDS ALL SERVICED. STARTS & RUNS GREAT NEEDS NEW HOME. CALL MARK 618-444-7697 IF NO ANSWER LEAVE MESSAGE.”

UPDATE: This appears to have been sold … was listed at $4500
This has gone through a recent restoration.
“1946 CJ2A Runs good 32″ super swampers 134l head flat head 4 cycliner. Been converted to 12 volt system. Stripped the frame and redid 2 years ago. All new steering and brakes. Didnt make it too pretty to use!!THEY DONT MAKE EM LIKE THIS ANYMORE!! Possible CJ5 or CJ7 trades.”
This looks to be a good CJ-2A. I don’t think the pics do it justice.
“1948 Willys CJ2A. Mechanically you will not find a better running cj2a in the area. It has been gone over mechanically from top to bottom. Everything as far as the drive train goes is in excellent working order. All parts that have been replaced have been kept and I have a sizeable quantity of new after market parts that will go with the vehicle, to include a spare transmission still in box. I have some body parts and sheet metal to replace any rusted areas on the tub etc.
There is rust on floor boards and in spots on wheel wells but as I said, I have purchased sheet metal parts to replace these areas. I’ll save that step for whoever buys my 2a. My sons and I have a great time driving this vehicle around chapel hill. We had a great “sledding safari” last winter. All mechanicals work smoothly on this jeep. It is a great piece of working history and I would love to send it to a good home. Please call 919-259-8447 if interested. Asking 5000 or best offer.”
