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 .
This looks like it has a Warn OD stick still in it. Between that and the rims alone, there could be $600 in value.

“1946 cj 2a
Rebuilt motor

Doesn’t run. The engine has a later model oil bracket, so the engine may or may not be original.

“Very early civilian Willys . numbers all match. Nearly all original. 3 speed column shift. Brakes and fuel system where completely re done 2 years ago and it has basically sat since. I haven’t been able to make the time for it. Runs ok needs some electrical work. Body has rust in the usual spots. Comes with Arctic hard top, I also have the original split screen.”
Has a rebuilt engine, but more work is needed on this..

“1946 CJ-2A $7,500 OBO
Every part has been rebuilt, remanufactured or is new on this CJ; everything is rust free. I haven’t driven it. It turns over, but the points have not been set. Wiring is period correct with heavy gauge cloth covered wires for the 6 volt system.
The jeep has an overdrive installed so highway speeds are attainable, but the PTO winch is disabled because of it. I do have the parts for the winch if you would like to re-install it.
The original axles, T case, 3 speed manual transmission and 134 CID flat head “Go Devil” engine have all been rebuilt out of state in Dassel, Minnesota at Northstar Willy’s. The radiator has been repaired and tested. I have all the parts for the oil bath air filter, but have installed a small K&N filter.
Gauges, coil mounted ignition key, vacuum wiper motor and special order heater are also new or rebuilt. I have the original bows and struts for the canvas top, but no canvas. Seats are re-upholstered, fuel tank is new and new floor matting is installed. Bias ply tires are new as well.
I have most of the receipts.
Project is 90% done with parts for most of the remaining work. I don’t have the time or interest to work on it anymore. I’m sure it will make someone happy, its a great looking, old school rig.”
