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 .
“Somebody stole my jeep from this location the morning of the 1st. If anybody has any information leading to the finding of it I will give them money. I had this cheap lesson 48 hours with my dream truck. Please help me find it. It’s green with a bulldog on both sides in front of door openings.”
(01/30/2013) This is a M-38 body on a 1946 CJ-2A frame and possibly drive train.
“Original 4 cylinder engine, runs well. M-38 Military body, Midnight blue 1950s model (not 1940s), no rust, garage-kept. New large tires, new rims. Tow bar and hitch with additional frame support for towing. Full canvas cover, seats in good condition with rear bench seat. New brakes and battery. Four wheel drive. No locking hubs or roll bar. Some spare parts also with sale. Call 224-2five97 to schedule a viewing or make offer, or reply to email with JEEP in subject line. Other email inquiries will be regarded as spam.”
Look solid, though diamond plating has been added in places.
“1948 WILLYS 4×4 4 cylinder 3 speed manual transmission. Jeep runs great.Body is in great shape. Has new brake lines,master cylinder and brakes. New water pump. New electric fuel pump new fuel lines and carb. New gauges that all work. All lights work. Has seat belts installed in front. Tires and rims are new less than 50 miles on them.Has a bikini top. I have the soft top frame and doors but not the soft top. This Willys is a fun jeep to drive draws a lot of attention were ever it goes.”
Sort of runs. Lots of diamond plating added. It’s missing knobs on the shift levers.
“Selling a 46 willys. Has all original drivetrain and motor to that year. runs with some TLC. it has been sitting for a while. has a 4cyl flathead w/ willys Stamp”
It’s a project with surface rust at the very least.
“I’ve got a barn find 1947 (according to the S/N) Willis CJ-2A that needs a new home. It will need a full restoration or would be great for parts for that CJ you are building now. The 4cyl engine does turn over but will need a full rebuild, the transmission and transfer case are still in the vehicle and appear to work but I’m sure they need new seals and to be cleaned up. You will want to buy a new tub as this one is rusty. The hood, tailgate, front fenders and grill are all usable. I do not have a title, the former owner got it out of Louisiana and could not find the title when I bought it from him. I have the seats, windshield frame and all the other parts to assemble the Jeep loaded on my trailer but not shown in the pictures below.
This is a project and will need a complete rebuild before it can go anywhere. Take a look at the pictures and see if you are ready to take this project on. If you are reading this, it is still for sale.”
“This is an original 1948 Jeep CJ2a with only 136k original miles,….this jeep has not run since 1990 and needs a complete overhaul, the body has rust and repairs and the engine although not frozen hasn’t been started is 25 years…tires are dry rotted but hold air..the jeep is complete, all there including the windshield that the glass is cracked, but the frame is not bent, cracked or broken and has never been repaired…..clear Texas title,”
“Willys CJ2A project/parts The engine is wrapped up in the black plastic to keep water out. Do not know condition. Was pulled when I bought it. Body could probably be salvaged. No front fenders or windshield frame. Nice set of wheels. rear axle that came with it is from a CJ5. Both seat frames are there.”
(06/04/2014) The front bumper seems to be hanging a little low.
“You won’t find many 1946 Jeeps in great condition like this one! It has been restored and kept inside a garage. I’ve been told by a Jeep expert that it’s a rare find. A JEEP COLLECTOR’S DREAM! Original motor, too…So, don’t miss out on this Jeep, as it’s not often you find one like this. You can see it by appointment and contact me by email. Price is $4200.”
(02/12/2014) Not sure just how much value is here.
“I bought a 46 willys and wanted to turn it into a rat rod but I am also a college student and the financials I needed weren’t coming along so time to part with it. It has front and rear original Dana axles with tires. I already grinded off the bolts because I was going to do a frame off restoration and that’s about as far as I got. The axles alone are worth 400 but I can’t do anything with it so first come first serve. Would make a great project for someone.”
