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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
(05/12/2011) Needs work.
“1947 willys jeep cj2a 4×4 project does not run but motor turns over good title $1200”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500. This may be a scam. Apparently there is no Ladera in NM.
(04/19/2011) I can’t tell if this is a VEC or not.
“For sale one 1945 Willys Jeep CJ2a. The jeep seems to be mostly stock except for larger gas tank installed behind seats, the tailgate, and the carb not original oil bath and 12 volt . There are probably other things not original, but I am a total rookie on these Willys. During my period of ownership I had new pistons & rings installed, emergency brake, yokes, seals and new fluid in drive train. I believe the 4wd works; temp, oil pressure, speedometer work, the gas gauge and horn do not. The lights & turn signals work. Has a massive manual crank winch on front in case you get stuck. Vehicle runs & drives and started right up in the coldest of days this past winter.
I have a clean NM title in my name and is currently registered to drive on the street, though doesn’t go much past 40 mph.
$2500.00 cash only, no trades
Please call: 321-7380”

(06/25/2011) Well, it’s not a truck as labeled on Craigslist.
“1947 WILLY’S JEEP PICK UP $5500.00

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This appears to be a rolling chassis and a pile of parts that isn’t quite a rolling chassis.
“we have two jeeps. enough parts to build one really nice willys, asking 2500$ for it all.”
I’m pretty sure not all the hard work has been done.

UPDATE: Was listed at $4600. **SOLD**
This appears pretty solid. This might make a good restoration project.
“1946 CJ2A Willys jeep. Original drive train, runs, drives, and looks good, newer tires, solid body.”
No body.
“I have a willys Jeep CJ2A made in 1946. This is a project that I do not have the time for any more. There is no BODY… It was rusted out and I got rid of it. I did keep the two front fenders, hood and wind shield. The engine ran when I brought it home two years ago. I have a title and all the data plates. Currently the jeep is not running. You will need to trailer it home. I have many parts in buckets. This is definitely a project or a parts jeep. The frame is in good shape and looks to be a converted military frame done at the factory. Has all original wheels. I will throw in a manual with all parts list, and diagrams. No Seats, Gas tank, etc… Remember this jeep is 65 years old. These are getting hard to find and this is a great deal for parts. Send an Email or text to 317 two8nine 09one0 Thanks!”

(05/15/2011) The seller bought some property and this was in the barn. It runs, drives and plows.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900
(05/17/2010) This still needs work.
“1948 Willys Jeep runs and drives great. Most of the underneath has been redone and is new including springs, shocks, tie rods, etc. at a cost of about $2500. The body has been rhino lined inside and out and does not look bad with no rust. Problem with the rhino lining is they also did the dash and other areas that probably should not have been done and although very well protected it would look better if it had not been done.
The transmission and drive train I am pretty sure are original.
One of the amazing parts of the Willys is the engine which has been replaced with Ford 5.0L, 302ci with a Carter ASM 750 CFM Carburetor. The block shows it is a 69-73 before they were detuned and compression lowered when a muscle car was still a muscle car. Yes it runs excellent and will easily smoke all four tires if you want.
Things left to do are some electrical, gauges etc. which are all good just need to be hooked up (not hard and I may do that before it is sold). Also still has more play in the wheel than I want which is coming from the steering gear box since everything else has pretty much been replaced.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.
(12/12/2010) Here’s a CJ-2A worth a closer look. The windshield also looks a little unusual. Based on the pics at the bottom, I’d guess this was an aftermarket extension (rather than a custom job).
“1946 Willys cj2a Jeep. This Jeep starts runs and can be driven. It is in very good shape for 64 years old. It has a PTO driven winch mounted on the front bumper. The seats have been recovered. it has new fuel lines and a new 6 volt battery. The Jeep has a leak in the brake system.
The jeep came from a cabin in northern Arizona town. It also has some 1950s modifications, that extends the rearend for extra storage. This jeep has a valid Arizona Title and is priced for a quick sale this weekend.”
There looks like some value here.
“1946 Willys … This is a rolling chassis. the body is in great shape. It has no title. would make a great project or be used for parts. I also have a few extra parts (transmission, tires, radiator). $650firm. Email for questions or want to see it.”
http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/cto/2479060348.html
UPDATE: **Status Unknown**. Was $2000.
This looks like a good price.
“1947 Willys cj2a Runs and drives SBC 350, 3 speed transmission, Model 18 transfer case. Dana 44 in rear, Model 25 in front with new power-lock posi. Full roll cage mounted to the frame in the front and rear. Five point harnesses. Bikini top. Runs rough it sat for a few years. It was made mainly for the trails but it is street legal.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600.
The seller is asking $1600 for the flattie.
“Three willys jeeps, the one with no top and roll bar I am asking $1,600 contact me for info on the other two.”
