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 $7900.
(07/08/2010) This still needs some work according to the seller.
“JEEP NEEDS FOUR THINGS DONE TO COMPLETE, WIREING,REAR MAIN LEAK,TOP INSTALLED ,8 VOLT SYSTEM. SPENT 8000 SO FAR I HAVE GIVE UP ,TIME FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO ENJOY. hAS EXTRA PARTS AS PICTURED.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4200
It’s not entirely original, but appears mostly original.
“1948 Willys Jeep All original!!! Flat head 4 cylinder motor, 3 speed manual transmission. Bone stock, never been touched. I am only the 3rd owner!! Excellent condition, runs good, drives good. One of a kind!!!!! No Trades”
This looks like it has been updated to 12 volts.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
“Fully restored fine Trail Jeep. Come see this weekend at Denver Merchandise Mart Truck & Jeep”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This looks like it will make a good restoration project.
“I have a early 46 column shift with tool indents. It also has rear pto, hydrolics, new green hitch, solid disc wheels, front bumper weight, govoner, 26,654 original miles, very little rust, few dents and dings, all numbers match up, 17463 serial number, windshield is the only thing that is rusted bad. This jeep came from factory with all of the bells and whistles. bought it 5 years ago to restore but dont have time to restore so need to sell. I did tear it down quite a way, the motor, tranny, transfercase, have all been pulled out. The axles are still in place and have never been touched. I took pictures of everything and kept every bolt, nut, washer and more. I also have pictures of everything i have done to date. If you have more questions contact me through my email …..”
I can’t tell how solid this is, but with a serial number of #12201 and matching numbers, this might be a good find for someone.
“1946 CJ2A, serial #12201. 2201st ever produced for civilian use. Built in January ’46, all original, body, frame, and engine numbers match. I even have the original dash plates! Ready for restoration! Breaks my heart to sell but times are hard and I need the cash. $1800. Serious replies only. 615-948-8656 ask for Dave.”
http://nashville.craigslist.org/cto/1823841578.html
UPDATE: SOLD.
Dave let me know that this VEC is for sale over at the CJ-2A Page. The seller hopes to sell the entire jeep, but if he can’t get it sold, he plans to part it out. This has a serial number of #14575, so it is a very early CJ and it would be a shame to see this parted out.
You can see the thread related to this at The CJ-2A Page.
If NADA says it, then it must be true, right? Nice looking jeep though.
“1948 CJ-2A Willys Jeep. Rebuild flathead L4 engine by “Bernie”. Rebuilt axles by Pro Gear. Transmission rebuilt. Warn Overdrive. Frame powdercoated. Seats need recovered. Have original back seat, also needs recovered. Lots of fun! NADA: Average Retail $10,850 – High Retail $20,500. $16,000 Cash only. No trades, no tattoos. (868) 774-4678″
http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/cto/1823215170.html
UPDATE: Still Available
(04/26/2010) It’s not running.
“This Jeep needs some work done to it i have some of the parts to get it going. It needs plugs and wires which i have and a distributor which i do not have. And the carburator needs to be rebuilt or replace i have a rebuild kit. It does need some body work or just a new hood. And the windows need to be replaced. Hate to sell it but i need the money. Any questions call Jared 707-953-0259”
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/1823436923.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
(06/25/2010) This looks like a very good price. This does not appear to be a VEC based on the gear shift lever that is just visible in the picture.
“1946 Jeep Willies. Runs. New seats. Flathead enjine. Original color is red.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
(06/18/2010) Dan’s on a streak tonight. This looks like a fine price that includes a hardtop and softtop.
“I can NOT take any trades for this Willys. 55,858 original miles. She was completely undercover in a carport for last 30 years with very little in town miles, as it was used as a snow plow only which now it is not. 2 Tops – Sears catalog hardtop with doors and soft top (needs some work) with doors.
Last summer this is what was replaced: Completely new brakes, starter solenoid, seats recovered with Marine grade vinyl so that they are waterproof. We hade a tune up performed 6/21/2010 to replace the coil, coil wire, distributor cap, rotor, condenser, points & spark plugs. This is still a 6 Volt system.
This really is a classic car and as much original as is possible for a 63 year old vehicle. She does have some rust holes in the floor boards but not very badly. There is also some rust on the side steps. We are forced to sell is the only reason we are selling so that is why I can NOT take any kind of trade. I can email you other pictures if you would like.”
For a jeep with a serial number of 11672, this looks decidedly non VEC ish. It’s certainly not totally stock for that vintage. However, it is a nice looking rebuild.
“1945 Willy’s CJ-2A Civilian Jeep Universal. SN. 11672.This unit is totally stock with the original “Go-Devil” L-Head 4 cylinder 60 HP engine and associated transmission and differentials. The only items that have been upgraded are a full 12V electrical system with battery, starter, alternator, wiring, and all lights and gauges. The windshield wipers have been converted from vacuum to electric for just a bit more dependability. The unit has only recently been completed and even includes a new (only installed and put on twice) Best top and doors. This is an all steel, and, I think, it is all original steel, body. The body was removed from the chasse and all necessary maintenance was performed. The floors are the original and show no signs of rust including the compartment under the passenger seat. Both the underside and the top of the full floor have been stripped down and Rhino Hide coated. The wheels are perfect and carry a new full set of five 600X16 non-directional tread tires. The seats have been redone with the proper upholstery both front and rear. I have had this unit on the highway for a 120 mile round trip at fifty miles per hour and had absolutely no problems.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
I’m not sure I’ve seen that model of soft top. The side windows angle and the back area (can’t tell if there is a back or not) is pretty wide open. This looks like it a ‘lefty’ to me.
“Up for sale is this 1948 CJ5,4X4 willys jeep, as you see the Jeep is clean and has been in the family many yrs, it has been well taken care of and runs great, new tires and wheels, very dependable, it is a daily driver, with a clear title…. I will take 4000 OBO………… hit me up if you interested”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This looks like a reasonable price, though I see a bit of rust along parts of the body. The top looks in very good condition. I can’t see if this is a VEC or not.
“Theis is a 1946 Willys Jeep with a 3 speed on the column. It is very rare! It has the original 4-cylinder flat head motor in it. The motor has been rebuilt and the transmission and transfer care have been checked. A new clutch was put in when the motor was rebuilt. It has new exaust and it also has new front and rear end.”
This looks like it has been sitting a while.
“1948 Willys Jeep Hardtop with Front tow bar. Tires good. Delivery negotiable. (231) 499-9244”
It’s got some rust, but runs, drives and appears complete.
“1947 Jeep CJ2A. I am selling this Jeep for a neighbor who moved into St.Louis. It was used around their farm for about 30 years. Usual body rust with only a few small quarter sized holes in the floor, bottom of tool box has a larger hole in it. All parts appear to be original(sheet metal, 4 cyl engine, dash, Etc.). Has been partially converted to 12v. Engine eletrical system(charging, starting & ign) are all 12v. lights and gas gage need to be switched to 12v. Runs and drives, starts right up and doesn’t burn any oil but steering is a little “loose” above 20 mph, most likley needs tie rod ends or something. Just put $300.00 in parts into brake system(new M.C., brake hoses, wheel cylinders and E. Brake cable). 92447 original miles.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800
(06/11/2010) This might be a good price.
“47 jeep willys,,, askin 1800obo new spark plugs n wires, battery,headgasket carburetor rebuilt just needs tuning title in hand”
It doesn’t run.
“1949 willy Jeep – Not running, ready for overhaul. $1,200 or OBO call 548-3140. northwest tucson.”
http://tucson.craigslist.org/cto/1800321617.html
This looks in good condition and not a bad price.
“For Sale: 1947 CJ2A Willy’s Jeep. New starter; new battery; refurbished; with original flathead 4 cycle engine. Two seats. $3,000 OBO.”
This is located at the same place that has the MB posted below. Again, this looks like a reasonable price with some decent parts.
“This is a decent condition project jeep. It’s missing the pass. seat & inner windshield frame, but is for the most part complete. The motor turns over, and all the drivetrain components spin, but I have no idea if it’ll run. The body’s pretty straight, there’s minimal rust through on the floor, and the frame’s good as well. You can come check it out at 312 S. Dishman Rd. (corrner of Dishman & Appleway) or call & ask for Dave. Shop 509-928-4460…cell 509-928-4460. Comes with a Washington state title.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6800
Here’s a good looking jeep just down the road from me. Guess I need to go check it out.
“YOU DON’T SEE THESE VERY OFTEN – BEFORE IT WAS PUT IN STORAGE (15 YEARS AGO) IT HAD A NEW PAINT JOB ….. NEW UPHOSTERY AND RE-BUILT ORIGINAL ENGINE. I DON’T THINK THERE OVER 50 MILES PUT ON IT SINCE. …. (This is not a military model)…………. A FEW MONTHS AGO, IT GOT 4 NEW NON-DIRECTIONAL TIRES ON NEW RIMS AND ALSO A SPARE (NO RIM”
This looks good and mostly stock. It appears this is missing headlights? Something doesn’t quite look right.
“I have a flatfender jeep willys I’ll trade. It has a lot of new parts. New exhaust, complete new fuel system from tank to carb , front tires,brake lines, shocks, seats.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7995.
This restoration looks like it is missing a few items.
“Up for sale is a beautiful 1948 military issued military jeep willys that has been fully restored. This willys has a 4 cylinder F134 with a dana 4 speed trans. I’m asking $7995.00 please no emails,”
I love the old top.

http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/cto/1794969323.html
It’s a bit pricey. It looks solid and maintained.
