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 .
VEC? Never know on these but it does have the looks of an earlier ’46, 3 plates on the dash one is showing a low 30k serial number. Not qualified to call it a VEC, but it would be worth a look if you are in the market for those. Missing some of the early stuff for sure, but still has a lot going for this one.

No Trades. No Electronic payments. Must come to Powell, TN for pickup. WILL NOT SHIP. ***I will not answer to “is this available”*** I will not discuss price online. What’s my best offer? What’s yours?
Up for sale is a hard to find Very Early Civilian (VEC) CJ-2a with Column Shift.
Serial Number/ VIN 33317.
Jeep drives very well up to about 45 MPH. Speedo, temp, tach, and oil pressure work. Fuel and amp meter are meh. Engine pulls great once warmed up. Transmission shifts fairly well. Clutch works great and doubles as a calf exercise.
The rear has been swapped out for a Dana 44 and it actually has limited slip (both wheels turn). Front hubs are Warn locking and have the originals in a box. Body is in really good condition.
Minimal rust, although there is a little rot as shown in the pictures. Original color is Pasture Green and you can see it in the pics. Was told the CJ was painted in the mid 90s.
I added the roll bar and 3 point seat belts. I made the canvas cover in my living room. Original windshield and frame are long gone and replaced with a CJ-3 / M38.
Does have a spare tire and mount. Comes with new exhaust system still in box.
This CJ is mostly original. What has been changed out or replaced has been done so in a tasteful manner. Brakes have been redone.
Complete wiring harness redo.
Stops fine for a 80 year old jeep. This Jeep is ready to drive as is. When I bought it, I did a few things to ensure it was safe and reliable to drive. Other than that, it’s perfect for coffee getting and showing off. This is not a garage queen. Drive it and SMILE! Clean title.

“The Jeep CJ models are a series of open bodied off-road vehicles built and sold by several successive incarnations from 1945 to 1986. In fact, the 1945 model was the world’s first mass produced 4 wheel drive vehicle for civilian use. As a result the CJ stands for Civilian Jeep.
In 1946 it was equipped with the L34 134ci Flathead 4 cylinder which was nicknamed the “Go Devil” that is mated to a column shifted Borg Warner T90 3 speed manual transmission. This sweet Jeep is also equipped with 3 very rare options making it extremely desirable which are the front tow bar, the rear draw bar (hitch) and the rear bumper mounted Power Take-Off (PTO) which was designed to drive equipment mounted at the rear of the vehicle through a shaft drive assembly. It is also used to drive trailered equipment, operate belt driven machines and shaft driven winches.
