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: Price dropped to $1600.

This might be a good price.
“My father-in-law, a WWII Vet, is parting with his 1947 jeep. He has owned in since 1964. He rebuilt the engine, but it does need new wiring and breaks. It has been stored inside and comes with the plow attachment.”
UPDATE: Nathan has provided more photos and information.

Great little Jeep! Lots of fun, built for 4 wheeling, plenty of power and torque. Has been garaged and barely used for last six years or so. Over $30k spent. Listing for $6500 obo.

Military frame
Professionally constructed full cage of DOM tubing direct to frame
Kevlar body with steel sub-frame

The 2A appears to be a VEC, but it looks more like a ’46.
“1945 & 53 Willy’s Jeeps For Sale / B.O. for both. (No splitting them up).
1945 is the one with the top/plow and is pretty much complete. The other is the 53, this one is pretty much a parts unit. Both Jeep’s need lots of work, but if you’re a Jeep fanatic they are diamonds in the ruff. Both are extremely hard to find, so no lowballing. . . ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(01/03/2012) It runs.
“1946 CJ2A Jeep with a 4 cylinder F4-134 Hurricane engine. The engine runs great and the drive train is in good condition. It was drivable when I parked it some time ago, but now needs master cylinder work. I do start the engine monthly, I do have some extra parts, transmission, front drive shaft and extra tires. This would be a great restoration or crawler project and is fun in the desert..”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1200.
(05/09/2015) Maybe some parts value?
“1948 Willys Project vehicle. Desirable short wheelbase model

Possible VEC.
“1946 willy cj-2a jeep…fair condition…16″ wheels…all 3 matching tags…correct seat frames…starts, runs, drives, shifts…needs brake + carb work (doesn’t idle well)…asking $1500…VT. doesn’t issue titles for older vehicles…sold with bill of sale”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(05/12/2015) This appears to have a DJ body, but the serial number is marked as 263130, which is quite a bit larger than the latest CJ-2A serial number (224764) listed on the CJ-2A site.

“1949 is the year of the fewest CJ2A flat fender jeeps. This Willys Jeeps appears to be the first of the DJ (Dispatch Jeep) ever made…it has a rear fuel tank instead of under the seat…it also has easy entry/exit side panel…my guess is the dispatches were stored under the seat & the side panels were removed because couriers would have to get in & out a lot…I put bucket high back seats because comfort was important because I use this old girl every day it doesn’t rain…
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5800.

(06/03/2015) Nice looking jeep, but I’m surprised the dash plate wasn’t more creatively installed.
