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 .
This looks more like a FC-170 to me. I will be returning to Pasco tomorrow night. I could look at this for someone if it lasts that long.
“This rare model Jeep pickup also has a utility box built for a welder and tanks. This great project ran when parked, but does need some work as shown by the reasonable price.”
“Genuine 1951 Military Issue Willys Jeep. Runs. In good shape. New carburator and distributor. Comes with lots of authentic replacement components (tires, hubs, rims, doors, transfer case, and differential among other stuff).”
(09/30/2011) It looks nice. However, I don’t understand the very low hanging bar under the passenger side.

(10/03/2011) The grille appears to be a ’46 or early ’47 grille.

Ted dropped me a note today thanking me for helping sell his CJ-3B. He also offered to share some pictures of his jeep collection. After seeing the pictures, I thought everyone else would like to see them too, especially his 2A which has more gadgets on it than a swiss blade knife! Thanks for sharing Ted (and looks like the kids enjoy the jeeps, too!).
Check out where the driver’s side drain hole is. It is floating an inch or two higher than it ought to be. So, there’s been some strange work done on that side. It also looks like this had the tool indents on the body. This does have a column shift and the three data plate setup.
“This auction is for an amazing 1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep. This is truely an amazing original old jeep that needs a new home.
The motor runs strong and smooth. The three speed “on the tree” column shift manual transmission shifts smooth and easy. It is clear that this jeep was not abused on the farm, like most were. I bought the jeep at the beginning of the summer and have put alot of work into it. The body was in great condition for the year! I did patch the floor in a few spots, but it is mostly original. The body was worked over, and the new paint shines great! The wiring was gone-through, and the lights and gauges work. The seats were reupholstered, and look great. This is a nice old flat fender jeep that gets some looks. It does need a set of tires. The ones on it now hold air, but are not road worthy.
This CJ will be stored in my climate controlled garage until the completion of the auction. It will be sold with a bill of sale, and an old registration. The state of New Hampshire does not require a title on vehicles that are considered antiques. ”
UPDATE: This was priced at $1200 on Craigslist last month and posted at eWillys. The seller decided to put this on ebay and the ebay bid price is now $2900. The lesson? More people should read eWillys!
