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 .
You don’t often see the top bows in the bow holders on a militarized 2A. Note this has full floating hubs.

This apparently has a rear facing PTO, but there’s no hole in the bumper for the shaft to connect to a rear gearbox (or am I missing something).

“1947 CJ2A Willys Jeep Very original condition except for paint and seats Starts, runs, drives, and stops great Still 6 volt system Has rear PTO setup Comes with many extra parts including plow w/pump and controls, extra set of 4 original painted wheels with tires, transmission, new hood in box, lockout hubs, tow bar, and more! Recent work includes: complete new exhaust, new master cylinder, new battery and voltage regulator, seat belts, new ignition and light switches, transfer case output shaft seal, windshield wiper assembly.

This looks to be an ex-racing jeep. That pinto engine might have some other HP updates besides the offy intake manifold. Note those “heart” rims; I’ve never seen them before (see last pic).

“Old Willys jeep project.

“Runs, drives, but does not stop. Need tub for restoration or would work well on a farm. 4wd works and so does the PTO. It is not the correct engine for this year model. Sold with bill of sale but bonded titles arr easy to get”

“Project CJ2A. Pretty complete Jeep including a full PTO system. Body is rough but salvageable and frame is in decent shape with the exception of the front frame horns and one spot by the master cylinder. Was told that it ran five years ago but has been sitting since then. Does not currently run. Will probably need to be gone through regardless. Asking $3,800. Bill of sale only NO TITLE”
It runs and drives.

“Runs and drives well. Does over 50mph. The previous owner had this a long time and did many modifications. It has a Dana 44 narrow track rear axle. I believe the front is upgraded also. Saginaw steering setup. The motor is an early 70s 2.0 Ford. The floor has been patched numerous times. Either way it’s a drivable 2a with paperwork and I’m firm on the price. Original vin tag on firewall, current RI registration in my name”
The Desert Dogs look in pretty good condition.

IF IT IS LISTED, ITS AVAILABLE! 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A Price is firm *Needs full restoration* *AS IS* It has a 4-cylinder engine that was made famous in the Willys MB and Ford GPW Jeep produced during World War II.

It does not have a title due to the age of the vehicle.”
Appears in good shape.

“Everything works and is all there. It’s still a 6V system, has 3 sets of wheels including the original ones. It has the Koenig half cab, currently off the Jeep. It’s does have some rust but isn’t bad for a 74 year old vehicle”
Doesn’t run. Pics aren’t the most useful.

“1946 Jeep cj2a Story that came with it this was “The hunting Jeep. Had an engine swap late 70’s early 80’s. Said to have a 350 v8 from a late 60’s early 70’s corvette that had been in a wreck.” Firewall is not cut out.. Very solid.. Little rust.. Engine will need overhauled.. Transmission shifts into gears. Jeep is very much a project. Does not run. Does not drive. Top and doors need reupholstered but frame work is there. Has removable center seat! Needs a new windshield frame and front hubs. This was a running driving unit before it sat in a field for years after original owner/builder passed away. Great start for restoration, needs to go to someone that’ll get to it sooner then I will hate to see it sitting. Trade for aluminum boat or 1962-1973 Ford Truck.”
Has the clutch been converted to hydraulic by using this setup? If so, it’s the first time I’ve seen it done this way.
