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 .
“Going through a divorce and selling my Willys MB Tribute jeep. Motivated seller. Make me an offer. She comes fully loaded with all accessories pictured.
She runs good. New exhaust, rebuilt carburetor, new spark plugs. All work done by a local Jeep/off-road shop. 1945 MB frame. CJ-2A tub. I swapped out the CJ grill for an Omix MB grill. Brakes and tires good. New horn!
She has been great for parades and spins around town. My first cosmetic restoration, so she’s not perfect, but looks the part. The brake pedal Burns oil and leaks fluid like any old Jeep should. Kentucky title. Text preferred.”
(11/05/2018) Seller believes this to have been manufactured in November of 1945 (but sold in ’46), but I have not run across any evidence of this. It’s a serial number 23785. It has a replacement body.
“1945 CJ2 (research shows it was manufactured in Nov-1945. Technically it is a 1946 but registered and titled as a 1945 4WD, 3spd manual, has 130cc Ford 4-cyl., Navy grey paint, Warn hubs, odometer reflects only miles put on it when it was restored (30years ago). Custom canvas top with matching canvas on seats. This is not mine, belongs to my neighbor…84 year old retired naval fighter pilot. He stated frame, drivetrain, engine, hood, grill and fenders are original but the body is a reproduction, original was rusted badly. He drives it around neighborhood and gets his mail in every so often. Serious inquiries only. I will try to answer basic questions but can put you in touch with direct if needed.”
“1952 Willy’s Jeep. Restored and converted to 12volt, but I have all the original 6 volt to go with it. Sandblasted and re painted. Brand new tires, in-line 4, starts and runs good.”
(12/14/2018) Listed as a ’46, the serial number of 207201 and the grille suggest it’s more like a late 1948 CJ-2A.
“Army clone 1946 Jeep Willy’s CJ2A. Jeep has recently undergone a body off restoration and in our opinion considered a good amateur restoration. The frame looks to be very solid and completely intact. The body looks straight and there are a few panels inside the tub that have some minor dings to be expected for the age. The floor pans look good and solid. There are a few patches that have been made under the seat storage area that are not seen unless the storage area panel is accessed.
Over all the jeep shows very well, started right up, gears shifted and appears to be ready to go. The Jeep is a 3 speed manual shift 4WD 60HP “go devil” 4 cylinder and has a top speed of about 50 MPH. The original wheels are paired up with brand new firestone military tires to appear period correct. The odometer shows 9.6 miles since the restoration however the title currently shows 2800 Miles non Actual.”
“1953 jeep Willys CJ 3BNice condition runs grea, converted to 12 volt for ease of use.Everything works as it should but gas gauge. Gauge is new but needs to be wired up.”
“1947 CJ2A, restored from the ground up and ready to roll. Been our flagship Jeep for JeepGoneWild for a very long time, but it’s time to free up some parking. New trans and transfer case, rebuilt diffs front and rear. Locking hubs. New engine seals. Refurbished anything and everything we could to keep it as original as possible. Comes with mock-up .30cal gun and mount. Tigertop soft top (Bestop aftermarket top) also included. Converted distributor to be electronic instead of points to add reliability.”
“1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A. 63,000 miles. Very straight and original with a canvas top and doors. Upgraded 12 volt system…. Fires up easily, idles nicely, and shifts with accuracy. The chassis remains exceptionally clean..”
Listed as a 1947, this appears to be an early 1946, as it has the tool indents. I’m not sure how the seller decided upon the “original ID numbers” for the hood.
“I bought this Jeep 2 years ago with the intent of using it as a second vehicle. It soon became obvious that it was to good at the tender age of 70+ years to put on the road on a daily basis. The original “Go Devil” L134 engine has been rebuilt. The original body with the exception of a few patches (See dashboard pic) is in excellent shape. Electrical system has been converted to 12 volt. Transmission, Transfer case, and Front locking hubs all in excellent working condition. I re-wired lights so that I could have signal lights, re-built the master cylinder, replaced the brake arm to correct “pedal wobble,” and replaced front end brake lines. Finally I re-painted the hood with original ID numbers and the “Broken” Invasion Circle Star. Tires are good, but in order to complete the “Military Look” it should have military tires (around $500 for a set).
There is also a canvas top (see last pic), but since it is not military, I removed it. It will go with the sale.
This is an excellent running Jeep at an excellent price. Price is firm. Please contact me only if you are a serious buyer.”
