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 .
Oh wow, this one shouldn’t last long!

“1954 Willys CJ2A (civilian jeep) production number 10666, runs and drives, original “go devil” motor, this is the very first production run of the CJ models, bill of sale only, it’s not on DMV books.”
If I had more time for projects, I would consider snagging this. This may be the first uninstalled body I’ve seen.

“Google PARMLEY, I found a nice write up about the Parmley on ewillys.com and attached the photos from the website for reference only. These bodies were made in California to fit the CJ 5 Jeep This one has never been installed On 1946 Jeep chassis with small block Chevy and turbo 350 I have a low miles 4.3 GM V-6 and overdrive automatic for an additional 500”
According to the seller this was a Navy contract CJ-2A. It’s not clear what evidence the seller has, but there might be a plate under the serial plate on the firewall. This would be a rare 2A if that’s the case.

“Former navy contract CJ2A. Was an airport jeep for a while. Easy to work on, currently turns over but I haven’t got it to start back up. It is a great hobby vehicle and so much fun to cruise around in. Give me your best offer!”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(12/28/2023) Looks in good shape, though the roll bar design (which appears attached to the outside of the body) is unusual. Has a nice setup for carrying gas cans.

“Fun Willy 1949 Jeep CJ2A, daily driver but getting cold and feel like someone else should enjoy!”
This has been parked a few years.

“1948 willys ran an drove when I parked it (3 years ago) very little rust, solid body. Clean PA title All wiring replaced with new harness, with LED lights. Was a side project and Unfortunately I have some personal issues come up this year and need to sell it. Asking $5,500 or best offer. Will consider partial trades as well.”
Listed as a 1949, this has a 1948 serial number.

“Hey everyone this is a pretty neat CJ-2A Willy’s Jeep. I get into a conversation every time I drive it. I wanted to keep the Patina look but clean up the inside along with reliability with this truck. Registered as a 1949 Cj-2A Jeep Willy’s. I was able to obtain a transferable registration. There is no title but I have a transferable registration. This has been a joy to own and drive. Has a few thousand $ in new parts. (Have most of the receipts) All fluids changed within 4 months. Diff, trans, engine, coolant, transfer. Could use a new fly wheel gear/ brake work. Definitely has its quirks but overall makes it down the road. 140 therm, Newer shock’s.All new wiring around, starter, battery, lights, etc. carb adjustment, Bell crank rebuild. More and more parts to add. Comes with a bin of old and new parts. This has the Kaiser supersonic engine and head. Body is alright. Some patches on it. 3 speed. 4cyl Jeep Has been a fun summer with it.”
This was listed at an estate sale just over a week ago. The sellers thought it worth $25k, but obviously it isn’t. It does look to have a column shift and tool indents.

“1946 Willys Jeep, Rare, great project vehicle. All original parts. Will take best offer. It is worth about 25k

“Quite a few new parts, for some reason it wouldn’t let me post them all. You can drive it home. Pm me for list and accessories! New, starter solenoid, fuel pump, carburetor, battery, gas tank, seat frames and cushions, tire chains, jack, etc.”
The seats look comfy, but the steering wheel looks pretty close to the seat. The front frame rails have an unusual slope to them.

“Have fun with a piece of history! Great running 1948 Willys cj2a jeep, 4 wheel drive, and 4 cylinder.”
This has updates.

“Great running project. I have too many cool things around and this one just don’t match my style! Runs and drives. Not perfect at all. Titled as a 1946 Willys FORGET ABOUT EMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS WITH THIS CHARM!!! Everything works on it. A few little things here and there but pretty complete for the most part. 4.3L Votec engine swap. Starts right up. NO TRADES AND VERY LITTLE NEGOTIABLE IN PERSON ONLY!!!”
Probably not much value here, but it does have some interesting mods. What is likely a Buick 215 is wedged in there pretty tight. The front springs have a unique reversal setup. The rear of the body has been patched and some unique tail lights added. The hood is secured from the top of the hood. This might have been a hotrod and a looker back in the day.

“1947 Jeep CJ2A No trades or lower offers Rebuilt 5 years ago Mostly original engine Stored in garage out of weather”
The body has some patches. I believe that’s a fold-down step on the passenger side?

This doesn’t run at the moment. It appears this was setup for a plow.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1735701853918299
“Selling for a friend. Obviously doesn’t run as of now needs a lot of work for someone with a lot of time. Floor in rusted out in spots but covered Leaf springs need to be replaced Needs new tires Some bondo in spots Clutch pedal seems to be stuck”
The description suggests there is fiberglass used somewhere on the body.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/466632219704085
Not a whole lot of value here given the mods, rust and cracks.

“1946 cj2a engine is rebuilt with new cam and lifters, bored with new pistons, crank was turned,valves regroups and everything else that goes with a rebuild. I got this out of a clean dry garage where it had been since 1981. I have all the parts to put it back together that are not in pics. Radiator, generator, starter, carb , full exhaust some of it is new. My next move was to do brakes and engine components. This Jeep has a rare Sears and Roebuck hardtop kit from the 60sinstalled on it. I have two extra engines and some other parts that I will sell after the Jeep goes. Price is $6500. Send me your number and I will call. I’m willing to get as many pictures as you want for serious buyers. “
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3750.
This one might have a Beck or Kelly half cab with an extension added on to cover the remainder of the tub. Looks to be an ex-service station jeep.

“I picked this up from the family who had owned it since 1957. It appears to be very original, converted to 12 volt electrical, I welded in a lot of new metal on the exterior of the tub, I replaced the floor pans and the hat channels as well, new fuel line and tank, new brake lines and wheel cylinders too. New exhaust as well, I have had it running on carb cleaner…sounds good…no smoke either…it will need tires…bring a trailer”
This has a rear PTO and gear box. Unclear if this has tool indents or not, but does have a column shifter.
