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 .
Needs work. Has indents, a column shifter, and the wrong windshield.

Has potential. Seller does not want to ship.
“1946 CJ2A with Chevy 265 bored to 289, 2 barrel carb. Has not worked since 1991. In its day it had gone through the Rubicon several times. Needs much work, understatement.
Look forward to hearing from you BUT not the people who ask me to save it for you , will send more money than its worth, need it shipped across the country, can’t communicate because your in another country and do not know the basics of english. You people can take a long walk off a sort pier but you probably do not understand what I just typed, Right!
This jeep has a old history in south shore. Our family would love to see it on the road again.”

Needs some work.
“Restore a part of history. The first year run of civilian owned Willy’s Jeep. Have been garage since mid 80’s. Last time plated 93. Not original motor, but was running about a year ago. Everything else is original. Needs brake lines.”

Seller lists this as a 1952, but the indents, body, and frame suggest this is a 1946 CJ-2A.
“50s jeep Willie’s complete jeep needs a bearing done in the motor I don’t have the time to finish the project, tires hold air jeep is all there and original.”
https://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/d/50s-jeep-willies/6370838662.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
It’s a got tool indents.
“1946 Willys CJ2A. This is an early 2A with the tool indentations still on the drivers side. This one would have been a column shift. It has everything except for drivetrain and seats. I bought this willys with a Chevy 153 in it and drove great so I know the axles and all that are good. I was going to put a small block chevy into it but never got around it. The body has been repaired in a number of spots. Most of the floor is new steel. This would be a great offroad wheeling project for the winter.”
This may be a fairly early VEC. Had a column shift, has tool indents, and has the squares on the windshield.
“1946 willys, as far as I know all original. Ran great up till we stored it in pole barn, some 10 or more years ago. Has a fuel pump issue now. Got good tires, (not original). Its been sitting in pole barn and needs a new home.”

This still has the column shift and a rear PTO. There’s a little patching on the driver’s side.
“CJ2A with working PTO, column shift, rebuild trans, soft top, spare tire rack and extra rims! Runs great!”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/25/2016) It’s listed as a 1948, but it appears to have a VEC 2A body.

(05/09/2017) Craig spotted this nice looking VEC.
“1946 Willys CJ-2A very early civilian column shift VIN 28537
CJ2A
VEC Jeep
Civilian model, not military MB WWII Jeep
Completely rebuilt in 2010, including new body (tub costs over $2000 alone without hood, front fenders, grill, windshield frame, etc.), rebuilt engine (new pistons, rings, water pump, oil pump, etc.), transmission, transfer case and axles – like getting a “new” 1946 Jeep for much less than it would cost you to buy the parts and pay the labor to build it – and, to top it off, it is a coveted VEC model, too! Nice enough that you could run it in a parade or take it to a show, but not so nice that you’d be afraid of using it!
94,703 miles.
Pennsylvania antique registration.”
