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 .
The body will need some work. The Koenig hardtop looks great.
“1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A, first year of civilian model of vehicle that helped win World War II and then brought 4-wheel-drive to post-war rural America. Equipped with 4-cylinder “Go Devil” engine and three-speed on the floor. Comes with custom Koenig steel top, including doors (not shown), roll bar, tow bar and very old-school winch. Updated or repaired: brakes, windshield glass, carb, fuel pressure regulator, fuel pump, driver’s seat, starter, shocks, alignment, hoses and belts. Fuel tank and system flushed and cleaned. Cooling system flushed and cleaned. Includes $250 bedliner kit to spray interior of tub. Daily runner that starts right up and has been fun on the ranch, but I need to buy a tractor, so Willys needs to go. $5,600 cash”
Has a rear PTO gearbox with a small winch(?) hooked to it.
“Jeep runs, drives and stops. New master cylinder and three wheel cylinders. Three on the tree shifter (kind of rare, came on the first production models). Original engine and drivetrain. Has live PTO that comes out the rear of the vehicle. Body is rough, frame is solid. Steering is tight. Clean title”
This is listed as a 1941. It has rear full floaters with a CJ body. Look like a pipe “roll cage”.
“941 Willy’s Jeep
Original….Runs good….
Will consider trade for…4 wheeler, motorcycle, travel trailer, etc. What ya got?
Asking $8000.00 cash or trade”
“I have a 1948 Willys for sale. It is a project. Set up for small block chevy, has fenderwell headers with purple hornies, 4 spd trans, BFG tires, has tow bar, tilt column, plastic fuel cell. Currently has no engine, has had new center link and tie rod, as well as new shocks. I’ve got TOO many projects, need this one gone. Make me an offer, all I can say is no.”

“1946 CJ2A F4-Type motor runs and drivers. 4 wheel drive all works. Needs work to be road worthy. Tow bar. Push out windshield works. Tires in very good shape like new. Bucket seats. Brakes need work. New ignition system. Most electrical works.
1954 CJ3B no motor but has everything else. Bench seat in great shape. Extra motor parts (V6). Soft doors. Fold down windshield works.
$3000 or best offer for both. Will sell individually. Great for a summer project. Can deliver if needed within reason.”
Robert’s got his nice looking column shift up for sale.
“I’ll certainly miss it, but it’s time to put my column shift, 1946 CJ2A up for sale.
The body is in great condition. Of course it’s been painted some time during it’s 71 years. There is no visible rust. The floorboards and hat channels are solid. In case you didn’t know, the original willys floors were reinforced with thin metal C channels filled with wood. It was the perfect solution during the war, but the rotting wood quickly rusted the floors. Not this Willys. It’s still solid and original. Spending most of it’s life in California is probably the reason.
The engine was replace by the guy I bought it from. He said it’s a Jasper replacement engine. It’s also been converted to 12v out of a 1960s chrysler. I had the transmission rebuilt, along with all of the supporting parts (clutch, presure plate, throwout bearing, etc..) about 500 miles ago. That wasn’t cheap.
In the years that I’ve owned it, I’ve put less than 2000 miles on the odometer. In that time I’ve replace the following items.
16″NDT tires
Complete reproduction wire harness
Restored Carter carb with glass filter
Reproduction gauges
Fuel level sending unit
Rear seat
I’m sure there’s more I’m forgetting, but you are welcome to look through the folder full of receipts that I’ve kept.
I also have quite a few extra parts. Things like a vacuum wiper motor with line, a head, soft top bows, another transmission and much more.
The problems with it are a stuck horn button, the E brake doesn’t work, the carb needs adjusting (it backfires through the exhaust when you shut it off) and there is play in the steering.
Overall is an excellent, well preserved, CJ2a that I would not be afraid to drive anywhere. Add to that the fact that the column shifts were only produced for the first year and a half of production and you wind up with a very desirable old Jeep.
If you are serious about buying an old Jeep, don’t let this one slip by you. Column shifts in this condition don’t come along very often!”
