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: Was $1900. **SOLD**
Needs work, but I think it has potential.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700.
(01/30/2011) I thought this hood solution was an unusual way to deal with the longer frame. I’m wondering if the frame is from a CJ-6?
“Selling my 1964 Jeep Willy X Flat Fender CJ-3A that has a new 390 V8 Offenhauser Engine. The engine has about 15,000 miles on it. It is a beast of an engine. You may want this jeep just for the Engine and parts to put into something you’re working on. this engine would be great for any hot rod or racing vehicle. The jeep is in great running condition and has alot of power. A great off road vehicle. It also looks really cool and has custom body work. I bought this jeep with the intent of driving it and fixing it up, but i haven’t had the money to do alot, i’ve done a few things, but it’s time to get something different to drive. I don’t want to put any more money into this jeep and second I need to get a different car. I have a family now and need something with doors lol. This jeep has power steering, tilt wheel, new dash with new dials, 3-speed transmission, locking hubs, nice rims with Pirelli tires. I’m asking for $2700 or best offer. I am also willing to take a vehicle trade. If you have something, show me and we’ll go from there. Cash is preferred though. Available to see anytime. Msg me for more info. Will answer back immediately.”
The rear has been extended, among other changes.

This looks like it might be a good price, even though it doesn’t run at the moment. The rear of the body is a little longer than normal.

UPDATE: See comment
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.
(12/12/2010) Here’s a CJ-2A worth a closer look. The windshield also looks a little unusual. Based on the pics at the bottom, I’d guess this was an aftermarket extension (rather than a custom job).
“1946 Willys cj2a Jeep. This Jeep starts runs and can be driven. It is in very good shape for 64 years old. It has a PTO driven winch mounted on the front bumper. The seats have been recovered. it has new fuel lines and a new 6 volt battery. The Jeep has a leak in the brake system.
The jeep came from a cabin in northern Arizona town. It also has some 1950s modifications, that extends the rearend for extra storage. This jeep has a valid Arizona Title and is priced for a quick sale this weekend.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $16,500
This looks great. I’d like to see some closeups.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3700. This was listed for sale in 12/04/2008. It was priced at $3000 at that time.
The body lacks tool indents and has the tire mounted like the CJ-1 and CJ-2s. The front clips appears to be MB.

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** was on eBay
This is very interesting. The rear on this seems similar to the rear extension on yesterday’s lead Colorado jeep. The seller believes this is an ambulance. I searched for an example of CJ-2A ambulance, but have yet to find any images that verifies one was built (though I’ve seen other extended CJ-2As). It seems more like a utility rig to me, especially given what appear to be utility racks above. I also believe the lack of a siren (or spot on the roof where one was mounted), also suggests it wasn’t an ambulance. None-the-less, the starting bid of $650 is a good price and it would be an interesting rig to restore. The seller provides a great, detailed review of this.
“I have never seen another jeep exactly like this. Its pretty rare. It is a left hand drive (so, its clearly not a postal jeep), its a flat fender, 4 wheel drive Willys jeep with an extended body and ambulance racks. (I do have a similar Swedish Jeep included in the photos for reference.) It needs restoration.
The metal tub is extended 24” and looks to be all original work from the time of manufacturing, it is well done and very unique. The extension is aft of the rear wheels as pictured.
The most amazing aspect of this jeep is the aircraft style aluminum top (“Tin Top”, if you will). The top has what I am told are stretcher ‘stays”. We were told this is an ambulance, and by all appearances, it would function as an ambulance. The top itself is original to the jeep and done professionally, its solid and riveted to perfection.
The top has functioning aluminum side storage doors and rear body aluminum storage doors that open and lock (as pictured). The top interior has metal caged storage areas, all are sturdy and have been in place about 60 years, holding up to the test of time!
The lower body is steel with age appropriate and reparable rust, but has been in California for many years and much of it is surface rust. The floor board rust and a couple other rust areas will need more elbow grease and restoration than other areas and is more than surface rust. You have to ask me questions on this and look at the photos as some of the rust will need actual rust repair. I want you to know the needs of this project so that you are happy with your purchase.
The front grill is temporarily attached for engine replacement, it will need to be bolted back in properly.
The original tail gate is in tact and functioning.
The original tilt-out windshield frame is there, minus the glass (you guys know how easy this is to get replaced).
All original gauges are there (no broken glass!)
All original latches (windshield, seat, etc.) are present
Original drivers seat is present and functioning (needs restore)
Passengers seat present (original?)
Original gas tank
Original shifter levers
Original 4×4 transfer case
Original Axles
Original Transmission
Original Two Piece Hood
Original fenders
Original Tub
Original Steering Wheel
Original Steering Gear
Original aluminum “sun visor” (over windshield area)
Military Style Pintle hitch mount in rear
Tow Bar attached to the front
Has 5 on 5.5 Jeep lugs will need new tires, but rolls freely as is
Will need new brakes, original brake cylinder is in place
Mechanical: The axles, transfer case and transmission are all in the jeep. Both driveshafts have been removed, but the original rear driveshaft and also, 1/2 of the front driveshaft are both included in a large box of parts that go with the Jeep. You guys know you can get these driveshafts with ease.
The engine is not installed but is included as well. It was removed for restoration (so that part of the job is already done!). It will need obvious restoration, but is not clearly not seized as the crank is out of the block. If I were to complete the project, I’d give it an acid bath and re-assemble. You will have to purchase a single rod and piston (which is available at “Border Parts” in San Diego), plus purchase the correct fly wheel (there is a fly wheel, but it does not appear to be correct), everything else is present including motor mounts and the head (as pictured). The engine is what I was told to be the original engine. It is a Willys flat head 4, has an original 1958 job tag riveted to the block (see pictures).
The attached engine job tag shows 2 cylinders, 1 rod and one main bearing was replaced in 1958 (again, see the pictures of the metal riveted on job tag).
The camshaft and valves are still in the block. Also included are 3 rod and piston assemblies, the crankshaft, main bearing blocks, side valve cover, manifold, exhaust, oil pan, head, etc.
MISC. INFO.:
We can not know the actual mileage as the paint has faded.
At some point in the past, a pipe vise was added to the front bumper, it can easily be removed. Also, barely visible below the driver’s windshield is a red stenciled ” FIVE STAR GENERAL” . No, I don’t believe it was a real 5-star general, just a guy who was very happy with his unique jeep.
This Jeep is sold with a bill of sale only, it is a collectible and will need to be restored before going on the road, however, both VIN tags are attached as photographed, this will be an easy registration (and NO smog required :).”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3150.
I’d like to see more pics of the extension.
“1946 willys jeep looks good runs good $3150.00 obo.”
