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: **SOLD** Was priced at $4000
This looks like a good price.

(01/30/2012) I believe this is a column shift CJ-2A with a MB/GPW Grille and windshield. The front end is a bit heavy looking.

This has a monroe lift, too.

This has a column shifter and something unusual on the back. It appears to be a combo capstan and drum winch? You tell me.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500
(12/19/2011) This was a column shift, but now a floor shift. I can’t tell if this has the free floating hubs or not.
“Lost storage. The tub is restored but paint is peeling on back floor. Have CJ2A engine that has been pulled but needs a rebuild. No cracks in engine. Frame blasted and painted w/ new wiring harness. Needs completion. I have a NY title in my name. I’ve moved to VA and am selling house in NY. Can’t bring everything. The tub alone is worth the price. I have more pictures. Jeep stored at buddies house off Rte 84 near Danbury. I can nolonger store it there.
It was a column shift jeep but was converted to floor shift. Bought from friend and I stored it inside. It has to go asap. Please email me back w/ your ph number. ”

“Stock 46′ other than the f-head engine and military wheels and tires. Flat black, truck bed liner interior. Runs and drives good. $2500 or make offer. ”
UPDATE: Sold for $6100 on eBay
The serial number is 13359.
“The Jeep starts and drives, but I am assuming that after 65 years it might need to be rebuilt or maybe not. there is not much rust on the body, the under carrige has been repaired in the past and will need to be repaired correctly if your looking for a perfect example of a Jeep. It has the original Plow and Winch. Plow works perfectly and so does the winch. Its all original. The floors look to have been rusted and patched a long time ago. The Top is perfect, and so are the seats, I can send more detailed pictures to any buyer via e-mail upon request. Also the transmission is not an automatic its a 3 speed manual on the column.”

Check out where the driver’s side drain hole is. It is floating an inch or two higher than it ought to be. So, there’s been some strange work done on that side. It also looks like this had the tool indents on the body. This does have a column shift and the three data plate setup.
“This auction is for an amazing 1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep. This is truely an amazing original old jeep that needs a new home.
The motor runs strong and smooth. The three speed “on the tree” column shift manual transmission shifts smooth and easy. It is clear that this jeep was not abused on the farm, like most were. I bought the jeep at the beginning of the summer and have put alot of work into it. The body was in great condition for the year! I did patch the floor in a few spots, but it is mostly original. The body was worked over, and the new paint shines great! The wiring was gone-through, and the lights and gauges work. The seats were reupholstered, and look great. This is a nice old flat fender jeep that gets some looks. It does need a set of tires. The ones on it now hold air, but are not road worthy.
This CJ will be stored in my climate controlled garage until the completion of the auction. It will be sold with a bill of sale, and an old registration. The state of New Hampshire does not require a title on vehicles that are considered antiques. ”
