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 $1500 (thanks Steve!)
It appears unusual.

“willys jeep needs some work. needs paint just had sand blasted runs good”
This has a few changes.
“1946 CJ-2A. Has a GPW grill and head lights. 225 oddfire v-6, t-90 4 speed trans. All rewired with newer style 10 circuit fuse panel. Head lights work, high and low beams, tail lights, blinkers, dash light for the gauges, license plate light, all work. All gauges and speedometer work. new coil, new points, new plugs, new radiator, custom air cleaner designed to fit on the carb. without having to cut out the hood which is common when installing a v-6 in these jeeps. new seat covers. warn hubs, tow bar. This jeep runs great. The only thing I know that is wrong is that the brakes probably need to be bled out. You have to pump the brakes a few times then they work great. Runs great. I got this to use as a hunting jeep. Well, times are tough and some things just have to go. I do not have the title but it is in my name. If you are interested, all I have to do is get the paperwork for a lost title and a transfer of title and put it in your name. I will have DMV paperwork in hand. Ive done it before and its really not difficult at all. Asking $3,500 O.B.O. Can reach me at 530 312 1433. NO TRADES!”

(12/1/09) Note that the jeep has lived its entire life in Wenatchee. The original ad listed this as completely original. While it’s got a few extra addons, I suspect it is mostly original.

(12/21/09) I doubt this will fetch the asking price, but it looks like a great restoration. That doesn’t look like an original color?

UPDATE: this is back on eBay
This CJ-2A appears to be a stock VEC CJ-2A with a serial number of 38965. What makes this CJ interesting is that it is being sold by the second owner of the Jeep, the Jeep has matching numbers, and it’s a column shift. What’s more interesting is that according to the CJ-2A site, column shifts were discontinued at number 38221. So, it’s possible that this is one of the last column shift CJ-2As made. Am I missing something?
“Low mileage – 64264 actual miles. I am the second owner of this Jeep. I have owned the Jeep since 1976. This CJ-2A has all matching serial numbers, including the tag on the front frame horn.
This flatfender Jeep is an early 1946 model. It has the original timing chain equipped Go-Devil flathead 4 cylinder engine and column shift 3 speed manual transmission. The engine was rebuilt in the 1980s by my father and me. The engine was bored 0.030 over, hardened valve seats were installed on the exhaust valves and the head was milled 0.020. It has approximately 15,000 miles since the rebuild. Has original “military standard” oil filter and oil bath air filter. Also is equipped with a NAPA top cylinder oiler. Electrical system is 6 volt negative ground. The Jeep has not been run in over a year and will need to be trailered or trucked. It will need a new battery.
The driveline is all original with the addition of a Warn “All Range” overdrive unit. The orignal column shift 3 speed transmission shifts solidly and does not pop out of second gear on deceleration as many of these older jeeps are prone to do. Transfer case is original 2 speed and shifts great. The rear axle is a Dana 41 and the front axle is a closed knuckle Dana 25. Gear ratio is 5.38…. ”
