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: **Status Unknown** Was $5000
Jay spotted this one. Listed as a 1943 Military Jeep, this looks to me more like an early CJ-2A.
“I have an old military jeep here with all original parts come up and take a look or give me a call or email me this is a lien sale ASISl”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2600. It’s a column shift with tool indents.
“My husband kept this Willys Jeep around for many years in hopes of one day getting around to restoring it. Unfortunately, he recently passed away and never got the opportunity. We are clearing out some items of the estate and have decided to list this for sale.
Absolutely perfect for restoration project!!
Jeep is in running condition!!
Body lines are straight!
Includes original back seat!

This has the tool indents, column shift, and the squared bolts for the bow holders, but lacks the full floaters it should have if it is a ’45. Maybe the rear end was replaced?

Runs.
“Running and Driving 1946 Willys CJ-2A ECV (early civilian vehicle) come take her for a drive. Just found a different different toy and need to sell this one to fund the other.”

This appears to have an early tub.
“Calling all Vintage Jeep Lovers! This one is a project for just the right person. This vintage jeep was in the process of being redone when the owner died suddenly. The body, transmission, and engine are surprisingly sound. The owner had taken many parts off and had obtained replacements including seats, and electrical wiring, but unfortunately was unable to finish the project. As you can see in the photo, it includes a front tow bar. Again, its a project but great when done! ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
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 $1500.
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: **SOLD** Was $2995.
(04/29/2015) Based on the serial number this should be a VEC, but there are no tool indents.
“NEED A JEEP TO RESTORE?? Fully restore this jeep and you could possibly sell between 10-13K on Ebay.
Check out this 1946 CG2A Willy’s Jeep. Serial #17158, Flat Head, 4 cyl engine, Soft top, split windshield fold down. Needs TLC. Selling AS IS. $2995 or best offer.”
UPDATE: Was $3600. **SOLD**
The windshield is funky.
“In July 2013 I purchased this jeep as a restoration project for my husband. He had begun the basics. The awesome thing is it ran great & we had taken it, playing in the desert, numerous times. He was diagnosed with cancer Jan. 2014 & crossed over 55 days later. Although I hate to part with it… It deserves more than just sitting in a garage.”
UPDATE: Seller ended last auction. Buy-it-now price dropped to $8000.
Here’s a very restorable VEC. It is one of the last 1945 CJ-2As produced.
“Original 1st year civilian jeep ,#1809 out of 1824 all 3 I’d tags present, body and tail gate numbers match # 1821. This jeep has had all systems rebuilt at one time by me. Runs drives like it was designed. Frame and body never been butchered or modified. Original springs and shocks,converted to 12 volt with stock generator.
