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.

This may be a fairly early VEC. Had a column shift, has tool indents, and has the squares on the windshield.
“1946 willys, as far as I know all original. Ran great up till we stored it in pole barn, some 10 or more years ago. Has a fuel pump issue now. Got good tires, (not original). Its been sitting in pole barn and needs a new home.”

It’s a project.
“1946 willys cj2a jeep
Nice good body
Floors have been replaced with flat metal
Roll bar
Have motor trans and transfer case for it and parts to put back together
Motor is pulled apart and needs to be gone thru
Trans and t case are good
Pretty much complete jeep just needs to be put together

It’s a project, but not bad for the price.

Rough. Includes an extra tub.
“Selling a Jeep Willys CJ2A. As you can see from the pictures, it does not run. The motor does turn by hand and the transmission/transfer case seems to shift like it should. The body is mostly rusted. The grill is solid. With the Jeep comes 2 spare axles, 1 front with manual locking hubs and 1 rear. Also I have another steering box and quite a bit of other small parts. Selling as is, no title. Text for any more information. Thanks. Asking $1000 OBO. Make me an offer. I’m also throwing in another body tub. It does not have as much rust and the floor has been patched by a previous owner.”
Lots of new parts, but there’s a lot of work left for an $11,000 2A.
“This restoration is about 90% complete. The engine has been professionally rebuilt. It has new tub, complete new braking system. The frame has been sandblasted and painted. New radiator core, gas tank and gas lines, W.O. Carter carburetor, alternator, seat upholstery, windshield and glass, new wiring harness, gauges, clutch and pressure plate. The entire tub, grille, hood, fenders and tailgate are primed and ready for final paint. Engine is temporarily wired for demo running. Many other new parts included as well.”

(02/03/2017) A rare desert dog sighting!
“1946 willys jeep plus lots of extra parts for sale: tires, grill, fenders, gas tank …too many to list! $3500.00”
https://kalamazoo.craigslist.org/cto/d/willys-jeep-1946/6348203388.html
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5000.
(09/14/2017) Could be worth a look.
“It can be used as a recreational or farm/ranch vehicle currently. It would need more work to become street legal. The engine starts and runs nice. It has a new aluminum radiator and never gets close to overheating. I’ve also recently installed new gas tank, lines and fuel pump, along with a new five year battery. The tires have great tread for the mud. All the gauges and lights work, but recently cracked the back light covers, which is a cheep and easy fix.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
The VIN is listed at 179486, which would make it a ’48.
“V8 small block engine
good conditions
off road
very good”
