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 $200.
Looks like a good price.
“1948 CJ-2A Willys body tub. Straight and generally rust free. Typical rust in floor pans. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Nick’s got this CJ-2A for sale.
“This is a 1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep. I originally purchased this because it had an incorrect F-head engine, the one I needed for my Navy Jeep. This was too nice to let go to waste so I resurrected it; I’ve crawled all under the frame and it’s excellent. My goal was to make it a running, driving vehicle that someone could enjoy. The engine starts right up and runs great without smoke. Transmission shifts good and does not pop out of 2nd gear like most others. It did have brakes but the driver rear wheel cylinder went out, so I bought another one but didn’t have a large enough hub puller to install. This has upgraded 10” drum brakes which should stop it great in modern traffic.
Here’s a list of everything I’ve done to this CJ2A:
-Correct L-134 Willys engine w/ T90 tranny
-Wire brushed flywheel
-Verified good pressure plate, pilot bushing, clutch, clutch fork, throwout bearing
-Completely rebuilt starter
-New coil
-Converted to 12V
-New battery
-New motor mounts
-Correct GL-1 gear oil that won’t eat brass
-New oil & antifreeze
-New carb
-New passenger seat frame
It has a Bestop that’s in decent shape. A couple of the windows are cut and it needs cleaned up, but all the parts are there. It’ll work great during the winter along with the period correct Harrison heater under the dash.
The things it will need before going down the road is to install that wheel cylinder, and change the yoke oil seals on the transfercase. It’s a couple hour job that I’ve done on my Jeep. Right now I’m in college and did all this work during spring break, but ran out of time for those. In the pictures you can see the body is in pretty good shape. Someone put in new front floor sections and covered the tailgate area like a WWII Jeep, but it looks to just be bolted on. Like I said this Jeep starts right up and will drive around the yard (and can text you a video). I have a clear Indiana title & all the serial number tags as well.”
Looks promising. Only one pic provided.

“1946 Willys CJ2A. I found this wonderful Willys/Jeep in dry storage where it has been since 1987. It was last driven then. It was repainted once in the late 1970’s. 1979 is what I was told. I don’t claim to be a jeep expert but I have been restoring muscle cars for 30 years. I don’t recall seeing anything any vehicle cleaner than this Willys. It is in astounding condition for a 70 year old vehicle. I own a repair garage and as such went through this Willys mechanicals from end to end. Fluids all drained refilled. I rebuilt the fuel pump, master cylinder and carburetor. I removed the oil pan to check for debris, clean and reseal. The entire fuel system was cleaned spotless to remove all old fuel residues. Plugs and points were installed. Upon completion of all this work, I hit the starter button and the original engine fired immediately and runs perfectly. Continue reading
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
The body has been lengthened. I’m wondering if this is on a later model CJ-5 chassis? Either that or the frame has been lenghtened.
“Has sat for a long time. Is a good restoration project. $1,000 or best offer. All reasonable offers considered.”
