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 .

Here’s a dual PTO CJ-2A in good shape. I can’t imagine this will last long.
“This antique Jeep is really unusual. It has two PTOs and a handle under the driver’s side of the car that engages either PTO. I don’t know how to operate it, but it is all there. It runs perfectly and looks good. The roughest part is rust around the windshield frame. In the photo of the engine, there is an upper cylinder lubricating system that can be seen in the upper right hand corner of the photo. It also has a roll bar and seat belts. Included in the price is an aluminum top with aluminum doors.”
This might be worth a look. It sports a M-38 windshield and is missing the forward bow holder.
“This is a Willys CJ2A with title. Jeep is in good condition for age. Engine runs great.
Over the years I have replaced brakes and bearings, tires, and lots of other stuff.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This ad was forwarded by Marc. The seller indicates the “Front 1946 Tag is not included in auction” (very end of description). I’m not sure what that means.
“You are bidding on a restored CJ2A, I have owned this Willys since 2003/2004. I purchased it, drove it about four months; took it apart and cleaned, painted, replaced, busted knuckles, said things I thought I would never say, etc. I finished up about four years ago and have been driving and adding things here and there. I only have put about 100-150 miles on this thing a year, I drive it to the hardware store, to get a haircut, and to work. Since I have had this Willys it has never been in the mud, rain one time (got caught out), never driven on salty winter roads here in the east (have drove in the snow in the field and woods behind the house, goes great) I really hate to sell, but it must go. Below is a list of the stuff I have done, I’m sure I have forgotten some things. I have done everything but the engine rebuild, I had it hired out. I have hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars in this Willys
This Willys runs and drives great, always starts the first time. It has been very dependable
Its not restored for a showroom with everything correct, its done to drive and use.
I have more Pics, request by contacting me. If you want a pic of something let me know I’ll take it.
Feel free to ask any questions
Here is a video link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66z0qdcHllE pulling a trailer load of brush, two-wheel drive, low range.
The body was completely stripped down (body removed from tub) / sand blasted primed with 3 coats of PPG epoxy primer, no body work has been done (there is no filler/bondo/etc. on the body just black primmer)
Original Meyers Half Cab, never painted in original primmer, has original Meyers Sicker. I uncrated this top when purchased. Shown in pics all installed (during summer months I remove the doors and rear glass section, makes something like a bikini top, keeps the sun off your neck)
Original Warn Overdrive Unit (WARN Shift Knob), Works Great – installed with the hard to find/expensive adapter so that the front PTO can be used.
Koenig Front PTO with Winch, Works great removed cable to install winch rope, just haven’t got around to it. (needs break arm, can still use without)
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This includes a drum pulley.

http://janesville.craigslist.org/cto/3894124162.html
UPDATE: Was $900. **SOLD**
This is supposed to have a good body.
“I have for sale an early Willys CJ2A. No title, doesn’t run, but has a super nice body, frame, etc. plus a rarely seen factory metal top. These 2A’s usually have the body eaten up with rust, everywhere but the desert southwest, but this is an exception. Would like to sell it just like it sits, but would consider parting, depending on what you need.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000
(05/05/2013) I’m gonna guess that ‘it may need brake work’ means ‘it definitely needs brake work’.
“1947 CJ-2A. it is running. may need brake work. only serious buyers.”
This may be worth a look.
“1948 Willys Jeep that has minimal rust, runs good, but does need a little work. This jeep is for someone who appreciates the old Willys Jeeps……not your freeway Barbie Jeep.”
http://eastoregon.craigslist.org/cto/3884220232.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
It’s rough, but appears to have a VEC body.
“i have an original willis jeep, when i bought this i was told it was a 1943 so that’s what i’m going on.it is complete,just needs restoration. $2000 cash”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was listed at $3800.
