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 .
Both are rough.
“1946 and 1948 Willy Jeeps bought them a couple years ago with the thought of combining the two. But never had time. One body is in good shape and can use other as parts. They have a 4 cylinder engine(non-running) 2 transmissions(manual). Text is preferred”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500

“Buy a Willys, sell a Willys. Been looking for a little CJ2A, couldn’t find one exactly like I wanted, bought this one about a month ago, drove down last weekend and picked it up south of Livingston, this morning one showed up about 5 miles from my house so I went and bought it. It’s more what I want but of course was also more money. Need to sell this one.
UPDATE: Still Available.
(05/24/2015) Unusual paint job.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,500.
Looks nice.
“The CJ2A was the very first civilian Jeep sold after World War II. This Jeep went through a three-year frame-off total restoration. Anything that wasn’t original was removed. My goal was to return it to what it looked like when it rolled off the showroom floor. I have owned it for 19 years.
The vehicle was completely dismantled. Original frame was sandblasted, primed and painted. Much of the original body was beyond repair, so those portions were replaced with correct reproductions purchased from a Jeep specialist in California. Original grill, headlights, turn signals, chrome headlight trim, bumper & tailgate were retained. The transmission and transfer case are original. The body was completely sanded, primed, and painted. It has NO bondo / body filler. The original paint color (Luzon Red) was found under the dashboard, and the Jeep was returned to that color with original color wheels. Continue reading
Price is now correct.
“1946 CJ2A fully rebuilt Jeep for sale. This Jeep was a frame up restoration in 2012.”

Has some rust int he floors, but looks good otherwise.
“Here is a nice and mostly original example of the first year of the “CJ” (Civilian Jeep) produced in 1946. This one is in very restorable condition with the typical rust in the floor-pans that is easily repaired or it can be left “As Is”and used as a daily driver or for outdoor adventures. It’s original Flathead Engine runs and drives well, the brakes have been professionally replaced and the seats have also been recovered in heavy canvas that looks like the original. I originally intended to restore the Jeep when I bought it a few years ago but I just can’t seem to find time to get to it…….so I’m going to let it go. I have a new exhaust system and a new carburetor that will be included with the sale, the winch is not going to be included. One thing that I should add is that the “Half Top” on this Jeep sets it apart from the others that were built in ’46. This one is a Willys Factory Half Top, they are pretty unique and also somewhat rare, here is a link to an article that explains what that means”
