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 .
“I have three jeeps. One does run and I have been driving it around my property. It has the flathead, rebuilt carb, new fuel pump, it runs good and does not burn oil. The transmission works great and does not jump out of 2nd or 3rd. The t-case works fine. It needs body work and frame has some cracks and has been welded on. One of the other jeeps has the flathead and complete drivetrain. Engine turns over but I have not started it. The third jeep has no engine but is good for parts. I have one clear colorado title for one jeep.”
This runs and drives. there appears to be some rust on the passenger side.

It’s not perfect, and doesn’t start, but for the price this is worth a look. The rear bumper is a little odd.
“Selling my 46 willys jeep cj2a, never get to drive it any more so it needs to go. Was running just fine but now wont start, probabaly an electrical issue or coil. Jeep is a very early 1946 vin# 19xxx. Has a really good body, has an F head motor out of a cj3b with an new after market carburator.”

“Up for sale is a great restoration project. 1946 willys cj2a. It has a clean tittle and current reg in my name. It has it’s fair share of bumps and bruises but it is a driver and could be a daily driver if you want it to be. All stock running gear except for the engine. It has a 283 small block chevy with a adapter to the 3 speed and rare factory overdrive. You can drive it 55 no problem. It is a project but it is a driver as well. Also has a old all aluminum arctic top for the winter. All lights blinkers and gauges work as well. All new brakes too.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $2900. This appears to have a VEC body.
“Cool Classic 1947 Jeep Willys 4×4, 4 cyl flathead motor, 3 speed manual tranny, its all there and it runs and drives. Good for woods or farm! Needs finishing but its all there!!!!”

“What i have here is 2 jeeps. the blue one is 95% complete and what is there is all original equipment. i had the engine turning over and sputtering along. right front spring is rusted away. it has a clear pennsylvania title with it. the tan one has the engine missing, but the rest of it is there. transfer case is assembled, transmission is in pieces. the title has been applied for but there is no guarantee on it arriving before sale date. between the 2 of them there is more than enough parts to restore 1 really nice jeep, and have a lot of parts left to sell, i have just run out of time. they are rough, but restoreable, and would make a great project for somebody that has the time or needs the parts. contact me with any questions”

Came stock with 9″ brakes they have been changed to 11″ New temp and volt meter”
No perfectly stock, but looks in good condition. The serial number is 18936, but appears to be missing indents. I can’t tell if it has a column shift or not either.
“This item for auction is a rare Willys CJ2A Jeep. This is a “VEC” (“Very Early Civilian”) model as it was produced almost immediately after World War II. The VECs share many parts with the legendary 1941 to 1945 Jeeps and is just as indestructible.
I bought this in August as something to tool around in and take out to the desert. Due to health concerns, I’m no longer able to drive it.
The Jeep starts, runs, steers, stops rides etc very well. The motor fires right up and once warmed up, it has an idle as quiet as a sewing machine. The transmission shifts smoothly through all gears, the clutch works great and I just redid the front and rear brakes. The front floor pans were patched in the last few years and are very solid. If you look underneath, you can see where it was repaired. There’s no major body rust and the frame is straight. I replaced the front bumper too.
The Jeep is currently registered though March and has a clear title. It is exempt from onerous emission control regulations.”
