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 .
(10/10/09) There’s nothing I see to indicate this is a M-38 body, accept for the dash panel. But, it’s missing the battery box lid, the jockey box in the dash, drain holes, and a gas inlet at the very least.
“Up for sale is a nice 1946 Willys the original four cylinder is out and I have it but there is a V-6 under the hood and runs out good with lots of power. It is a M-38 Military body. There are 35-12.5-15’s on the jeep now but I also have a new set of 31”s for the jeep if you want smaller tires. This is ONE SWEET JEEP!!! Call for more Imf. ”
(02/16/2010) It needs a little engine work, but looks great.
“1950 Jeepster off frame restoration done back in 1988, Jeepster runs but needs some engine work $6000.00 Firm, vehical is located in Mineola ,tx farm been garage keep for the past 12 years.”
“1946 CJ2A. Western vehicle, stored winters, very solid. Has three speed column shift. Comes with both aluminum hard and original soft top. Heater works. Jeep is blue, but original green paint shows in some locations. Third photo shows tool box floor – only surface rust, not rusted through like you find in many. Family owned for many years prior to my purchase. Starts and runs, stops fine. Shifting is a bit tricky and could use adjustment, but otherwise good to go. This was going to be a keeper, but unfortunately I need to sell. I’m pretty firm on price, but will entertain reasonable offers. Serious inquiries only please. I prefer if you contact me on my cell phone 608-212-3995 with questions.”

This has gone through a recent restoration.

This looks to be a good CJ-2A. I don’t think the pics do it justice.
“1948 Willys CJ2A. Mechanically you will not find a better running cj2a in the area. It has been gone over mechanically from top to bottom. Everything as far as the drive train goes is in excellent working order. All parts that have been replaced have been kept and I have a sizeable quantity of new after market parts that will go with the vehicle, to include a spare transmission still in box. I have some body parts and sheet metal to replace any rusted areas on the tub etc.
There is rust on floor boards and in spots on wheel wells but as I said, I have purchased sheet metal parts to replace these areas. I’ll save that step for whoever buys my 2a. My sons and I have a great time driving this vehicle around chapel hill. We had a great “sledding safari” last winter. All mechanicals work smoothly on this jeep. It is a great piece of working history and I would love to send it to a good home. Please call 919-259-8447 if interested. Asking 5000 or best offer.”
Here’s a very rare Willys. If the serial number is correct, it is 1 of 2 known of this model, though it has been ‘re accessorized” into a standard CJ-3A.
My investigation into this topic started tonight after Dan spotted this ad. He said, ‘check out the serial number because I think it is a Tractor Jeep’.
I copied there first part of the serial number (451-GD1) and pasted it into Google and hoped for the best. Seconds later, I had my answer. It turns out, the CJ-3A.com website had all the info I needed. There’s an entire page about both the Jeep Tractor and the Farm Jeep, both ‘farm’ versions of the CJ-3A introduced in 1951 and designed specifically for farms.
So, the next time you check out a CJ-3A, double check that serial number.
“This is a solid and strong jeep. It has a unique serial number – 451-GD1 10036.
Engine is a L-134 “Go Devil” – 4 cyl iron block.
Transmission – Dana 18
Front Axle – Dana 25
Rear Axle – Dana 44″
I thought I had posted this previously, but I can’t seem to find another post like it. There are LOTS of pics with the Ad. The 17″ drums seem a bit large?
