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 $6500.

Tom spotted this jeep. Described as “in near perfect condition, it looks like the rear portion of the tub has been repaired/modified and it lacks a tailgate. The front looks in good condition. Listed as a 1948, it may actually be a 1949 CJ-3A.

This has some Allstate or Husky hubs. It looks rough for the price.

“1949 Willy’s CJ, great little jeep, don’t use it as much as I planned, runs good, needs the oil pump gasket replaced, little drip going right onto the exhaust, haven’t gotten around to fixing it. Pretty clean body was redone awhile ago. Only trades would be for an older 12 valve”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
This jeep has some updates, but still needs a few things addressed.
“Excellent condition and needs minor TLC to make it complete. Engine was replaced with 1967 Buick 225 cid V-6 odd fire engine. Body was recently painted black, reupholstered seats, padded roll bar, locking hubs, elec radiator fan, new Rochester carb, electronic ignition. Clean Ohio title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
It’s a project. This may have a DJ-3A grille.
“I have had a 1946 Willys for a long time with the plans to bring it back to life but I don’t have time or money for it.
This is an old picture.
I have a 350 bare that would come with it. Transmission and transfer case that line up with it. It is now sitting on a CJ5 frame which is heavier duty. I have a sand blasted hood, windshield frame, and tailgate. I hve 2 original Willys metal seats and the fuel tank that goes under the seat. I’m Sure I’m missing something.
Bill of sale only.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2600.
(04/08/2021) This seems to be a pretty stock VEC, which is why the lack of bow holders surprises me. This is one of several CJ-2As that makes me wonder if it was possible to get a CJ-2A without bow holders on the side.
“If this ad is still up it’s still for sale. 1946 Willys VEC CJ2A #22085 has tool indents, still column shift, eay air cleaner, correct generator w/cast iron pulley, early smooth cyl head. Has all body & frame tags, clean title in my name. Motor is stuck (soaking with MMO currently). Trans & tcase shift & steering steers. Sheetmetal needs some love but imo is salvageable.”
