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.
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 .
Looks in good shape. It was previously listed in Portland.

Stan spotted this CJ-2A with a Monroe Lift and some attachments. It runs, but needs some work.

“I am listing this 1947 Willys Overland Jeep CJ2A for a friend of mine. This Jeep has been in the same family for approximately 71 years and has never been licensed for the road. It was used exclusively for field maintenance and general farming related duties. Has the very rare and desirable 3-point hitch with rear PTO, along with an aluminum winter cab.
Also comes with extras, some of which include:
: A 6′ Detroit Harvester Cutter Bar ( Model MDL-MM-6, ser. # 241)
: Extension arms for the hydraulic lift
: 8″ Belt pulley
: Extra engine governors
: Chains
: Two extra rims
: Additional windshield
: Universal & Farm Jeep Mechanics Manual
Needs restoration, but in running condition with only superficial light rust on some exterior body panels, where paint has degraded over the years, and at the corner step at the left door. In fact, if you look closely underneath, where it really matters – at the frame, the suspension, the floors, etc. – there is virtually no rust, thanks to a salt-free life on the farm and the occasional metal-preserving hydraulic leak that this Jeep experienced over the years.
Asking $9,200 or R/O”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $20,000.
The jeep looks in good shape.
“Selling a 1947 fully restored CJ2A Willy’s jeep and 1947 restored Bantam Trailer. Part of estate being sold off. Have plenty of receipts to go along with sale. Painted in a period color “Princeton Black” with “Sunset Red” lettering. Call with questions or offers.”
It seems to have survived the “Korean War” flawlessly. Sigh. Kidding aside, this body looks to be in pretty good shape.

(02/06/2021) Looks in good shape. Has the wrong grille for a 1948.
“This is a stunning 1948 Willy’s Jeep that has been carefully restored to be a perfect piece for a collector or a Jeep lover who wants a piece of American History. Purchased with plans to drive as a summer toy, plans have changed and need to find this beauty a great home. Vehicle displays 66,705 miles. Vehicle has been restored and includes many original components, including the engine, transmission, bridge frame, gauges, etc.
Was repainted in a satin fire red color and is a real head turner both on and off the road. As you can see from the pictures, all restoration components were carefully selected to be vintage OEM pieces and the work was done to keep the vintage feel of the era. The jeep includes 1/2 doors with canvas uppers (not pictured) and a full canvas top (as shown).
UPDATE: Still Available.
(12/10/2020) Looks like this has potential.

(02/02/2021) Looks in good shape, though I’d like to see under the body given the diamond plate on the floors. It’s missing the PTO bar as well.
“1947 CJ2A Jeep for sale. It is the civilian model with the original L-head 4 cylinder type engine and 4 wheel drive 3 speed transmission. It has had a fairly recent restoration to include a motor overhaul, and it runs, drives, and shifts well. The tires are excellent, the interior seats are recovered, and the top is almost new ($950). Also the electrical system is 12 volt and has an alternator. Currently titled in Texas in my name as an antique vehicle, and ready for you to go play! Would be a perfect vehicle to own in a coastal setting or ranch. Located in Conroe Tx and available to view most days.”

Listed as a 1964, I suspect the seller meant 1946, as it looks to be a VEC (though the seller listed the year wrong twice).

“This Willys Jeep was a frame-off restoration project I did about 5 years ago with the intent of doing some vintage trail rides. every single thing you can possibly think of was replaced and or rebuilt on this. From bumper to bumper. engine, transmission, transfer case, Body, fuel system, breaks, wiring, starter, generator, radiator, even down to the seat cushions….. EVERYTHING was done …. I took it on one ride and it’s been around the property hauling firewood about five times. Aside from that it’s just sat beside the barn …. anyone who’s worked on old cars knows I’m not lying when I say I have much more invested in it then I’m asking. There’s still a few cosmetic odds and ends to do but other tan that this jeep is ready to go.”
UPDATE :Price dropped to $9000.
I haven’t seen a metal plate added to the carb like this one has.

This is a VEC with the rear hubs and early windshield. Plus, it has a rear PTO. This should go fast at this price. No title. Serial number #11854.
“I am reposting this Jeep. I have been educated a little on what I have. I got VERY overwhelmed by the amount of messages I received after posting yesterday. For all of you that are going to come on here and say I should have gone with the first person who messaged me, I honestly couldn’t tell you who the hell messaged me first. I got so many at one time it was unreal. SO I do not have the title to this Jeep #30 1946 CJ-2A Willys I don’t know if this thing runs. It was a family members that we had to pay for to get it out of the shop when he passed. There are 2 rust spots in the floor inside the Jeep. Has PTO Must either come pick up or arrange to have it picked up and delivered.”
