About eWillys
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.
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 .
(12/09/2016) This might have a Porter & Reed hardtop.
“Good looking old Willys with a hard top and doors, original flathead motor, new rings, pistons, rod bearings, head gasket, oil gasket valve cover gasket, radiator…. And a few other things. Great for the farm or a kick ass first car.”
“1946 cj2a Willys jeep, have title an that’s most of the battle with everything else being reproduce now. Good project or parts jeep. Motivated seller, don’t want this thing sitting around out in another winter. frame is in better condition than the body. tub is in bad shape in all of the common areas. Quadratrac off-road sells a replacement steel tub from fire wall to taillights for $1200 an $300 shipping. Fenders, hood, grille and windshield are all very usable. Pretty complete under the hood but the block is cracked have an fhead block that goes with it. Trans and transfer shift free. The rear axle has no diff or ring an pinion. Front axle an rest drive train is complete. I won’t be getting to this project any time soon. I might as well pass it along to someone who will. Call any time. Can send more pictures with request.”

“i have a cj2a for sale, good start to a project, i bought it with the intent of restoring it into a tril rig. motor spins but i didnt try to start it. just checked to see if it was froze. havent work on it at all. last owner stretched the tub and swapped in a v6. has a lot of potential. clean title in hand, 500 firm. can deliver for gas money.”
“This is a 1948 Willy’s Jeep CJ2a made by Kaiser Steel in California. These were made by 3 companies during World War II. Kaiser made by far the most of them. They were made to be sturdy and take an extreme pounding. The simplicity of their systems made them really easy to repair and keep on the road. They are great for a fun family off road vehicle. Or for use in parades or other promotional events. They aren’t meant for modern highways as their top speed is around 55 mph. However these vehicles will almost climb telephone poles.
There are not many places an old CJ won’t take you in the backcountry. This has the original L134 4 Cylinder Flathead Engine it originally came with. Not sure about the running condition of the motor. It is numbers matching and all there. It sat in a garage for at least 12 years. According to the original owners when they parked it in the garage it was in running condition. We acquired this thinking of restoring it but then we got another project that needs to take precedence. The only thing not original is its been upgraded to an alternator. This gives it much better and reliable charging than the original 6 volt system”
“Refurbished from the frame up. Original flat 4 engine and body. This is a great winter project. With very little work that need to be completed. While it does not currently run. We did put s little gas in the carburetor and it fired right up. Has the title, but the serial numbers don’t match perfectly. This is common for these types of vehicles since this is the first civilian model, they were trying to use the supply of WWII parts.
Things still needed to be worked on:
1) wiring harness need hooked up
2) new tires
3) possibly a second seat
4) driving assembly needs connected.
That’s it. About 200 dollars of parts and labor you have an almost show room quality Willy’s ready to go. I am getting a divorce and it needs to go. That the only reason why I’m selling it.”
