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: **SOLD** Was on eBay. Now lives in New York (See comments).
Nice looking fire jeep.
“1948 Willys Fire Truck for sale. Excellent running and aesthetic condition. Very low mileage. This jeep was bought brand new by the village of St-Esprit (Québec, Canada). Only one owner after the fire department.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/14/2015) It has updated engine and brakes.
“Great 4 wheel drive 1946 Willys Jeep! Has a V-8 engine (from a 1960s Chevy van I think) and power steering. It is a 3-speed, plus a low range and an overdrive, so you’ll have lots of gear choices! It has been a wonderful family fun vehicle for years, but we now rarely use it since our kids are older. It has brand new tires, and it is in good mechanical condition. Floorboards are solid.
Includes a dual axle trailer for towing the Jeep, with trailer brakes (I’ve never used the trailer brakes, so I cannot vouch for them).”

Appears to have a rear PTO and winch. Probably a VEC body, too.
“1946 willys runs good $1950”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500
“Posting for a friend ,Bruce.
1947 Jeep Newer paint and newer parts. Call contact number for some summer fun driving.”
UPDATE ***: Jurgen spotted this one. The ad for this jeep has resurfaced, this time in Ireland. Note the text claims the body panels has their “rivets” removed using a special tool. The panels were welded together via spot welds, not held together using rivets. It’s the same claim made in the text from last year: https://www.vintagestefano.com/for-sale
UPDATE II: A Craigslister reported that the seller is away and keeps raising the price as emails are exchanged. “Guy claims he is govt working but keeps asking for more and more info if you respond to his add…beware”
UPDATE: This jeep was on eBay a couple days ago. The seller listed it in College Station, Texas. The same jeep just popped up on a West Virginia Craigslist for only $4000. The text in the ad is similar to the text shown down below.
Here’s the current scam ad: http://huntington.craigslist.org/cto/5644379040.html
“1946 Willys VEC (Very Early Civilian) CJ-2A Jeep – Museum Quality Restoration
Offered is a 1946 CJ-2A that has undergone a frame-off, nut and bolt, rotisserie restoration. This is a very early civilian version, identified by square windshield plates, column shift, tool indents, ‘F’ script bolts in drive train, frame tag on the outside of the driver front gusset and three data plates on the dash.
I acquired this Willys Jeep CJ-2A from a Kingman, Kansas flying service in 2008 where it was being used as an airport tug. Everything was original, uncut, matching numbers and well preserved in several coats of orange paint. The frame tag, dash data plate and the Willys body tag are each numbered 17968 and correctly located. The motor number is CJ-2A 18464. The AMC numbers on the tailgate and front gusset are matching and both read 8620. Continue reading
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8800.
This militarized civilian jeep looks solid.
“Army jeep.7 miles on odometer since restored .Will maybe trade for avalanche or caddilac pick up ,or mustang convertible.”
Runs and logs.
“Late 1940s Willys cj2a flathead skidder. Runs great. Goes anywhere. Hydraulic blade to stack logs and move brush. Needs brake work. I used it for hobby logging. Hate to see it sit. Cage is bolted on. Marine battery. Racecar switches. Electric fuel pump. Could be removed to make a Jeep project. Lots of options. Best serious offer. Also has set of forks for it. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Runs and drives.
“Clean TX title 1946 (2nd year of the civilian Jeep) willy’so CJ-2A. Run and drives. Has no breaks though…either need blead or master cylinder rebuilt. Tires hold air, fluids are good. Excellent candidate for a deer lease or restore to original condition. The engine was rebuilt a few years back along with the 3sp transmission
The engine and drive train are original.”
No pics provided.
“1946 Willys Jeep. All original, all there. Text for pics. Excellent condition. Solid vehicle”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(06/02/2016) Needs some work. I suspect that M-38 body isn’t original to the chassis.
“I got a 1948 willies jeep with an 289 ford engine for sell asking $2500.00 obo. Willing to trade for a pontoon boat. The jeep needs TLC. And needs new breaks.”
