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 .
That might be a VEC body. I doubt there is much value here.
“Willys Jeep…. project!!! $1000.00 obo. Willing to trade”
http://fresno.craigslist.org/pts/5672150053.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1100.
This has a VEC body. It also might have a rare Porter and Reed Type “B” Deluxe Half Top.
“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A has a flat head 4 cylinder engine and all high lows was a good running rig 15 years ago, comes with extra parts. The jeep would make a great hunted rig. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
(06/17/2016) Appears to be a column shift. Might be a VEC.
“For sale- 1946 Willys Jeep with 1938? International truck cab, 6 volt 4 cyl. all original Willys running gear, hasn’t run in 7 years. Needs gone over. Titled as 1946 CJ2a. Needs some tlc. If interested come and look.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8300.
This combo appears worth a look. This has a rare Carson Car Craft hardtop.
“I don’t want to sell the” 45″ alone, just because. Both run , the 48 has a homemade plow set up. and I would add is crazy clean. Garaged and driven for 35 years, then I bought it. The “45” is a VEC, vin. 10365, good bones. And also comes with a great story ! Open to calls , but I have a limit on how much jeep talk I can do.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3400.
Runs, but needs brakes.
“Hard to find, desirable early Willys with shifter on steering column. This was the first civilian model jeep made after WW2. Serial number 27040. Stored indoors and owned by the same person for the past 40 years. Starts and runs great. Brakes not currently working. Solid, nearly complete vehicle would be great for restoration or would be perfect to use around farm with little work needed.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
Listed as a 1948, it looks more like a 1946. I can’t tell for sure, but the windshield may have square bow holder bolts.
“This is one very nice looking old Jeep. I am listing it for a friend. It is rather a rare model with column shift. {Note pictures}. Please DO NOT text or email response to this advertisement. Serious inquires by Telephone only , John”
Appears to have a rear PTO and winch. Probably a VEC body, too.
“1946 willys runs good $1950”

UPDATE ***: Jurgen spotted this one. The ad for this jeep has resurfaced, this time in Ireland. Note the text claims the body panels has their “rivets” removed using a special tool. The panels were welded together via spot welds, not held together using rivets. It’s the same claim made in the text from last year: https://www.vintagestefano.com/for-sale
UPDATE II: A Craigslister reported that the seller is away and keeps raising the price as emails are exchanged. “Guy claims he is govt working but keeps asking for more and more info if you respond to his add…beware”
UPDATE: This jeep was on eBay a couple days ago. The seller listed it in College Station, Texas. The same jeep just popped up on a West Virginia Craigslist for only $4000. The text in the ad is similar to the text shown down below.
Here’s the current scam ad: http://huntington.craigslist.org/cto/5644379040.html
“1946 Willys VEC (Very Early Civilian) CJ-2A Jeep – Museum Quality Restoration
Offered is a 1946 CJ-2A that has undergone a frame-off, nut and bolt, rotisserie restoration. This is a very early civilian version, identified by square windshield plates, column shift, tool indents, ‘F’ script bolts in drive train, frame tag on the outside of the driver front gusset and three data plates on the dash.
I acquired this Willys Jeep CJ-2A from a Kingman, Kansas flying service in 2008 where it was being used as an airport tug. Everything was original, uncut, matching numbers and well preserved in several coats of orange paint. The frame tag, dash data plate and the Willys body tag are each numbered 17968 and correctly located. The motor number is CJ-2A 18464. The AMC numbers on the tailgate and front gusset are matching and both read 8620. Continue reading
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9950.
