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 .

It’s not totally stock, but it sure looks nice for the price.
“Titled as a 1947 CJ. Ford 4cyl motor and 4 speed manual transmission. Full aluminum Meyers top and doors. Bucket seats in front, rear jumpseat, rollbar, heater. Runs great, crack in windshield glass. Fuel pump is a little weak as it loses prime if not started for a few weeks. Fun vehicle. Take the top off and flip the windshield down in the summer.”
This might clean up pretty well, but you’ll need another engine.
“A nice piece of Jeep history. The first Jeep to be sold to the public after WWII.
Very original flat fender 4×4 jeep, Clean title. Needs a replacement L 134 (go devil) engine block. The Body is in very good shape, all rust has been replaced with new metal. Restored in late 80s. Good seats, No top. Break system is good. Would make a great weekend driver or trail rig.”
“The car runs very well, and its easy to drive. The “3 on the tree” manual transmission shifts properly. Whether you’re heading to Margaritaville at 5 o’clock, or just out for a pleasure drive on a nice ragtop day, you’ll have no worries.
As far as condition, its good. The body is straight and the interior is in very, very good shape. The convertible top is also in very good shape, but it does not latch properly at the front. This isn’t ready to be a show car, but its a nice driver. We don’t know the actual mileage on the vehicle, but we’re betting its seen more smiles than miles.
It does have an AM/FM/Cassette radio, but the car doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles…oh wait…there IS a whistle: the “sexy girl” whistle sounds when you push a button on the dash.

(06/17/2009) If you can easily fix the wiring, then this could be a very good price. There’s some good value in the parts. I’m not sure what’s on the hood.
“1946 Jeep Willys CJ2A
1996 Fuel injected chevy 4.3 V6 mated to a SM420 4 speed transmission (the one with the huge granny gear) and a Dana 20 T-case. Newish (less that 3K miles) 35” BFG Krawlers. Front and rear axles are Dana 44’s with 4.56 gears and detroit lockers. Front is disc and rear is drum. Fully hydro steering with doubled ended, dual action cylinder. Early bronco coil suspension adapted over in the front with leaf sprung rear.
Now the bad….Squirrels got into the engine compartment and ate through the Painless wiring harness. They pretty much chewed through the main trunk that goes back to the computer. Not impossible to fix but I don’t have the time nor the inclination.”
