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 $2500.

“1946 cj2a army jeep,started to restore no longer have time or money to finish.New tires ,has some rust but easy fix.Registered as classic so never need safety or smog check,title in hand”
Sell indicates this is “real nice”, but it looks to me like it needs body work and some front parking lights at the very least.

“Real nice jeep invested alot on this.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $13,850.
Appears in good shape. The rear bumper has been modified some. Contact with seller is made through the “Quick Quote” tab.
“1946 Willys Utility Pickup, nice restoration, good body and paint, nice redone int, frame off build, heavy duty, 6ply firestone military tires, 4×4, 4cyl, 3spd, runs/drives great”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9950.
This has a body lift of two or three inches, so the body sits off of the frame quite a bit. It is most evident if you look at the photo of the jeep from the rear.
“1948 Willys Jeep, Model CJ2A, The iconic flat fender jeep, good body, nice paint, redone interior, 31 inch tires, converted to 12 volt, 4cyl, 3spd, runs/drives good.”
It runs, but needs work.

“For sale is a 1948 Willy’s CJ-2A. Engine runs but will need rebuild. Rebuilt generator and starter, exhaust, fuel and brake lines, master cylinder and gas tank. Jeep has been in New Mexico and Texas so no significant rustling of panels. A very original Jeep with very little modification. Title available however still under name of previous owner who passed away.”
More evidence that suggests the rumor of a Spokane Jeep dealer extending CJ-2As into “CJ-2Ls” was true. Thanks to Jay for spotting it. The hardtop has a Cab Enclosure data plate, suggesting that this top is a modified (hacked) version of that top.

“1948 Willys CJ-2A Jeep complete. This jeep is perfect for a full restoration project. Engine turns over freely, but does not start. Needs brakes. It has a hard top taken from a 1/4 ton truck welded to the body. Surface rust and some sheet metal rust out (see photos).
Started restoration, but stopped due to injury and now moving. Have all the parts removed plus new 50 Amp 12 volt alternator.”
May be worth a look.

“I’m selling a 1946 Willys cj2a, it has the original motor and transmission, new fuel pump, carb, inline filter, hoses and new tires. I have covers for the seats I have not put on.”
There must be a story here with this one. This jeep looks like it was rattle-canned hastily (and perhaps there was a deal on white paint that day, too).
