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: Still Available.

“This Willy’s needs a complete restoration and I have pulled the engine transmission and transfer. I also have the front fenders and hood removed. It comes with many plastic totes of parts as well as the yellow hood as well as new engine mounts and overhaul kit for the transfer. The Engine is stuck from sitting. The frame appears solid and straight with the frame tag still on it as well as the body tags.”
Looks in good shape. It looks like pretty good floor replacement work.

“Had this jeep running about 4 years ago. Probably will need some work would be a nice project for someone. It is a collectors item I did lose the key to it. Very sturdy Frame no rust always have been shed kept. Will accept reasonable offers. not sure what the miles are exactly”
The seller indicates this was built on a “1964 CJ-7 frame”, which must be a misprint because CJ-7s weren’t introduced until 1976.

(08/16/2023) This appears to have an unusual hardtop. I’m not sure if the “complete body restoration kit” is a new body? Or body panels? Or?
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/238007025630669
“Comes with complete body restoration kit and windshield Also has many small parts right down to original screws for rebuild Have title Some body rust Good flooring, engine, frame is solid Has mounting for snow plow Was on the road two summers ago It is a 1947 but with the better engine from the 50’s that had much more spunk AMC 4 Cylinder engine upgrade Many extra parts included that be used for repairs Could be driving with very little effort or completely restored with parts included”
Unclear how much value is here. No description provided. It has a Sears-brand-type hardtop.

The CJ-2A’s body is wood from a Sears & Roebuck kit. Seems we have run across one of those kits before.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/284503224135801
“Package deal of tona of parts and three Willy’s Jeeps. One ’47 CJ2A (white) complete but half the body is a plywood kit from Sears Roebuck. No title. Engine has lots of rust but repairable with a hot tank and time. Needs work but good frame and lots of good parts, or make it run again if you want.
One ’47 CJ2A just the body have the windshield, fenders, grille, seats, tailgate, and other metal for it.
And one ’50 CJ3A complete with title runs and drives but has bad tires, no brakes, no steering (the front crossmember is busted off, planned to chassis swap with the white 2A.) Grille is unbolted as is left fender to work on car. Has new starter and new ignition parts. Runs like a top stock fuel pump even works.
Planned to use the running gear from green one, body of the tub and parts, and chassis from the white one to make one nice stock jeep easily then use the remaining parts to build the remaining parts into crawlers or something fun.
Parts include:
Engine block in good shape will need cleaned up, cranks, cams, pistons, rods, oil pans, transfer cases, I think transmission, drive shafts, radiator, tons of body metal such as hoods fenders doors windshields (including glass) tailgates, parts to put a canvas top on, basically three entire jeeps worth of parts including lots of new parts worth ~450 from Kaiser Willy’s with receipt.
May split stuff. Yes the VW stuff is for sale too.
Not quite all original, given the bumper, windshield, roll bar and other changes, but still may be worth a look.

(06/15/2023) Brian is selling this nice looking CJ-2A.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/975967846761243
“1948 CJ-2A with CJ-3A windshield with clear title. L134 Flathead, 3 speed T-90 tranny and Dana 18 Transfer case, and Carter 636SA carb. Always garaged and driven in good weather. Starts and drives perfectly, with smooth shifting gears and working 4 wheel drive. Bestop top with doors. Converted to 12V. High torque mini starter with key start and electronic ignition. Good Cooper Discoverer tires, turn signals, seat belts, solid frame, original body, and floor panels with no rust or bondo. Sidesteps, tow bar and floor mats. Has shift lever for what I believe is part of the PTO under the lever. See photos for history since owned.”
It runs and drives. Body is a bit rough.

“1940’s jeep willys has winch and snow plow runs needs clutch linkage adjusted needs tires divorced transfer case no title idk the mileage”
This is likely a 1948 CJ-2A, but not 100% sure.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/658446376253951
“PRICE IS OBO (O MEJOR OFERTA) New Carburetor, New Radiator, Distributor, Brake Boosters Runs and Drives”
Runs, no brakes or title.

“Willys jeep for sale🎉 (Do not have Title) Engine runs great and transmission is also great condition. Needs new water pump, battery, and will eventually need new tires. (Do not know mileage) Brakes do not work. This is a manual transmission.”
The top on this is an interesting one. I thought it was a Porter & Reed (the front portiion appears identical (maybe built from that design?), but it has angled edges along th sides of the top rear rather than rounded ones. Another Kanas-based aircraft-related manufacturer of hardtops was Blue Star, but this doesn’t look like one of theirs.

“95% bone stock 1947 Willys CJ 2a Jeep. Orig flathead 4 cylinder engine w/3 SPD trans and stock transfer case. Engine has not been started for approx 20 years but turns freely by hand. Body in decent shape w/75 years worth of dings, dents and rust. The hat channels are needing the most work. The top (aluminum)is a unique “military look” that, according to original owner, was built and installed by a Wichita aircraft manufacturer in 1948. The interior seats, including the rear seat, are correct. The transmission and transfer move into their gears freely but the unit seems to leak an excessive amount of fluid into the driveway. The engine also seeps oil from the oil pan drain plug. Frame is in excellent condition showing only a slightly bent front bumper end. This is a very original 1947, the perfect candidate for a resto. Currenly registered and titled. Numerous extra parts included: f & r axles, trans / trans case etc. Rolls freely on old tires.”
Project or parts.

No title with this CJ-2A trencher. It’s going to take some poking around to see what value is here.

“Nice little Jeep Willy’s that comes with a parts Jeep. Has been a good running Jeep for the past two years for me and my family on the farm. It has a new carburetor and I put an electronic distributor in it. Things that will need to be fixed is a brake line, an ignition since I lost the key in a recent move. The starter was rebuilt and the shop that rebuilt pit the wrong gear on it so it hangs up on the flywheel. Last summer I would pull start and it would stay running all day if I wanted to. Haven’t tried to start this year yet but it should be fine. Do not have title”
