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 .
Seller listed this as a 1945, but I don’t seen any evidence the sheep was produced in 1945 or 1946.

“1946 Willys CJ2A. Former service station Jeep equipped with a plow setup and aluminum half cab. Original “L head” engine had been swapped with a later “F head” engine at some point. Hasn’t ran in about 5 years. It does turn over but I believe the distributor needs to be replaced. All the serial number tags are intact. Body is very rough especially the floors. Frame seems to be in decent shape. Good candidate to fix and use on the property, use for parts or restore with new sheet metal. Plow blade is included. No title just a bill of sale. $2500 obo.”
Looks solid.

“48 CJ-2A great condition. 46 Bantam Draw. Willys is all original, still 6V.”
UPDTE: Price dropped to $13,250.
(09/11/2023) I don’t recognize the hardtop, but it looks like a nice one. It seems a conglomeration of a Kelly (line under door window and the door latches) + a Meyer (door window shape and possible roof shape) + a Koenig (door shape). I suspect it is custom, but if Meyer *had* made a flat fender top, I’d think it would look something like this.

“1948 Willy’s cj2a runs great and drives Brakes work Brand new fuel pump,starter,fuel tank Frame is solid needs floor pans”
There could be some value here given the parts. The tub might be a replacement body rather than a GPW body.
