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 $4500.
(06/24/2010) This looks good.
“1948 Willy’s CJ2A, Ford 2300CC 4 cyl, Rancho lift, Supertrack muffler, stock 3 spd tranny, waren winch, new soft top, new 32×11.50 tires, aluminum mod wheels. “
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
It runs and appears pretty stock.
“1946 CJ2-A Willys Jeep… runs good, has original engine and ALL parts; I put an aftermarket carb on it and a reproduction fuel pump – however I have BOTH of the original pieces that can be re-worked and I’m sure they would work (I cleaned them both but just couldn’t get it to run with them).
New suspension all around, original military spec rims and good rubber.
Have a new shop manual as well – plus lots of odds and ends parts.
I have an extra fly wheel, extra front differential with hubs, extra steering wheel and neck assembly.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
“1946 Willys Overland. Has nice mb Steering wheel Some rust on underside appears to be untouched for the most part. It does have original drive train. Has new parking brake and cable. This is an ameature restored vehicle. Made from 3 jeeps none of them came with a title, so this vehicle does not have a title. You can have one made for this jeep. Check with your local DMV for more information. This jeep is about 95% complete with slight modifications like gauge panel folds down for easy access to fuses and under dash. The heater and driver seat are not original. Engine has been rebuilt. Tank heater w/ thermostat. Front windshield is fully operational like new. Passenger side window is cracked but both pieces of glass are original. Turn signal lenses are glass not plastic. Has Brass screws in transmission and master cylinder cover so they dont rust solid, and allows for easy removal when servicing.”
UPDATE: No surprise, this sold quickly! Was listed at $4000
This looks like a great price.
“The time has come to part with old Willy… 1946 CJ2a, Runs, drives, stops.
Frame off restoration in 2000. All original frame, engine, transmission, transfer case, axles, fenders, hood, windshield frame, etc – repro tub. 12v conversion. Tagged in GA.”

“1946 JEEP HAS 8000# PTO WINCH ,TOW BAR HAS ORGINAL MOTOR”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
(12/24/2010) Parade condition … hmmmm … it does looks solid though. Sounds like it needs some additional work.
“I am parting with my 60+ year old Jeep. This is a very rare vehicle due to the amount of original parts including the Vacuum Wiper Motor! The Jeep is sound with the exception of a hole in the passenger side floorboard and some repairs performed years ago by previous owners.
The paint job IS NOT original. It was painted by the previous owner. This vehicle can be driven daily and has been very reliable driving to and from shows and events. I would say that it is ‘Parade condition’ it looks great from the sidewalk!
Repairs in the last three years:
Wheel cylinders and brake shoes
A new clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, and pilot bushing.
Parking brake repaired
Fuel pump (glass bowl filter style)
(5) Original ‘riveted’ rims installed Non-directional tires & inner-tubes
Stored Indoors
Finding a Jeep of this vintage that still has the original running gear and has not been butchered is very difficult.
This Jeep does need work to be brought up to show quality and the price reflects that.
However, if you are looking for an antique that can be driven and enjoyed in its original condition – you have found it.”
This appears solid.
“This is a 1947 CJ2A, the first civilian jeep built. This jeep is pretty much complete and does run and drive. (smokes a little, especially when first started) It has the stock 134 flathead engine with 3 speed manual transmission, and 4 wheel drive. The body tub is decent and so is the frame. It would be a great jeep to restore! It has a new battery and I replaced the wheel cylinders and shoes, so the brakes work as well. Not pictured, but I have a complete set of seats with decent covers. I also have a hardtop that fits it for sale seperate. Call me for more information. Nathan 402-813-5312. I might be interested in trades…..”

This is great! Looks like it could make a good restoration candidate.
“1947 Willys Overland CJ-2A. Purchased from a family that had owned it for 27 years. This vehicle was barn fresh. As sold to me it still runs just needs new gas tank and possible some starter work. Was driven around farm occasionally up until a few years ago. Was orginally owned by a Jeep Dealer in Colorado and still has advertising lettering very visible on body. All tires are good and hold air and also have a new spare with tube. Jeep is all original except previous owner put some new springs under it with shocks a few years back.”
This looks pretty stock.
“This Jeep has been sitting out in the elements for a long time…the sale is as is and you must move. Great restoration project. 750.00 or best offer. Have clear title and one owner vehicle. Cash only.”
http://cosprings.craigslist.org/cto/2215418897.html
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2950.
(11/29/2010) This appears to have the original chrome rimmed tail lights (an upgrade option from the stock driver’s side only tail light).
“Nice straight Willys CJ2A with the split front windshield. About as original as you will find with the flat head 4 cylinder engine. I have gone through alot of the mechanics and it starts and runs great. I have replaced the fuel tank, radiator, seat frames and seats and it has a newer soft top. The body is in fair condition and does have some rust and Bondo. The floors are all solid. This Jeep would make a good hunting rig or could be restored.
Please call Shawn at (509) 346-3212 for more information.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Here’s a VEC #11500 for sale over at the CJ2A Page (Thanks Bill).
This Jeep has no title. The transmission was switched to a later floor shift version. The transfer case may, or may not be original, the early style 4-rib park brake drum is present.
The engine is not the original chain engine, but it is a low serial number CJ-2A 33843, it looks like an early 1946 engine in it.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
This looks like a great price and a fun restoration. It would be useful to see just how this was stretched. This could be a rare CJ-2L. This it the 5th one I have heard about or seen in the Pacific Northwest. You can see other stretched jeeps here. This looks like a good price. This almost looks like an old lefty, too.
“It’s all there but will need complete resto.Was stretched by a previous owner.Wheel studs are broken on front axle,so will not hold wheels. No title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
(11/14/2010) “This is a great original jeep.L134,T90, Dana 18,Dana 25/41 axles.Runs drives good,needs paint.Fist size hole in toolbox.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
(01/29/2011) Starting bid is $12k. It looks well maintained, but dusty.
“Up for auction is an original WILLYS 1946 CJ2A BOYER FIRE JEEP.
It is extremely hard to find an original Boyer jeep with that many accessories still on the vehicle. To find out more about Boyer jeeps please go to http://cj3b.info/Fire/fireindex.html.
The jeep is in orginal condition. It appears it has been painted once. The engine runs nice and smooth, all driveline works. Engine has original governor. The mileage on the vehicle shows 2304 miles however the speedometer appears to be broken. Jeep has some rust issues: front floor especially under the tool box (rusted through), on back corner behind reflectors (both corners rusted through), otherwise the outside body, fenders, etc. are in excellent condition especially the windshield frame (have never seen one in that great shape for a 1946 vehicle!).
The jeep comes with all the accessories you see in the pictures. Unfortunately it didn’t come with the pump. It appears that the pump was removed many years ago. The jeep was stored inside for many years, we changed the fueltank and the exhaust system as we didn’t want to take a chance with the old one with old fuel in it. The old fuel tank is emptied and is included in the auction. It appears there were no leaks from the old fueltank. Most likely it will need to be boiled out.
The brakes need to be looked after as the brake pedal goes straight down to the floor however it moves freely.
We have a professional restoration facility for Willys Jeeps and in our opinion this would be a simple restoration because everything is there to do nice job. Fuellines, brakelines, wiring harness all original.
This vehicle comes without any warranties or guaranties. We have over 15 years of experience in shipping vehicles worldwide and will assist buyer with shipping/loading and paperwork.
Shipping, taxes and/or other fees (import, customs, etc.) are not included in the auction and are the buyers responsibility.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(01/04/2011) This looks like it’s been in there a while.
“1948 Willies Jeep model cj2a w/ original flathead. $3000/obo.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800
This might make a good restoration. Some paint might really help.
“Rebuilt L134 Go Devil engine, newer military tires plus spare, lots of spare parts. Licensed and registered till 12/11.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
All three look pretty rough.
“2-1948 CJ2A Willys Jeeps with complete drive trains. Both have 134 cubic inch flat head four cylinder engines. One has a Kelly Manufacturing safari hard top. The other is a 1949 CJ3A, and has a drive train less engine with front clip. It also has a completely solid frame.”
UPDATE: The is back on ebay
(01/07/2011) Looks good.
“1948, original Jeep Willys CJ2-A, all accessories originals and functionnal, 6 VDC battery and générator, RPM governor, rear PTO functionnal, Cavas roof with original frame support, execcelnt condition. Vehicule inspected in québec, always licensed.”
UPDATE: SOLD. See comments.
(10/24/2010) It’s got some rust, but drives.
“1948 Willys, 32,721 +/- on the odometer. Guy who had it before me parked it in his garage thinking he would do some body work. Sat for 12 years. I got it thinking I needed another project vehicle. Wife decided I didn’t. Dumped some gas in it earlier this summer and it fired right up. Drove OK but brakes need work. Tires are good including a spare on a matching wheel. Looks to me like everything is there with the exception of a seat-bracket and seat. The lights/trim wipers, steps, etc are in a box. Body has some rust (see pictures) but the frame and drive-train look solid and straight. I have a clear title for this jeep. With a little elbow grease this winter I think this has potential as a fun summer ride. Asking $1,100.00 but would entertain any serious offer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
Looks like it could be solid, but hasn’t run in 3 years.
“Work jeep with soft top. 4 cylinder. Was running when last used about 3 years ago. Snow plow included. Garage kept. NADA average retail value of $10,165.”
Brett spotted this fine. It looks pretty solid. I’m not sure if this runs or not. It doesn’t seem as complete as the seller believes. Maybe there are parts in a box somewhere?
“1947 Willys CJ-2A. Solid jeep, great starting point for restoration, or finish the wiring, add some seat cushions and use it as is. I’ve restored a couple of the WWII era military jeeps (MB & GPW) over the years. This was going to be my first CJ restoration, but my current work schedule isn’t going to allow time for it.
You don’t find many this complete and unmolested anymore. Check out the photos and feel free to call or email with any questions. Thanks! Chris (801) 831-0741”
