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 .

Looks like there’s value here. It lacks an engine. has a military windshield.

“1947 Jeep Willys, it’s in pretty rough shape but definitely worth rebuilding for the right person. Body is in decent shape for the year, there is some rust in the normal spots for these. Floor will need to be replaced. Does not have an engine, all other drive train is there tho. There is no title. Message me for more detail if interested”
Listed as a 1952, the yellow jeep appears to be a 1946 CJ-2A, given the three data plates on the dash. I believe the yellow jeep has a Koenig half cab, while the other jeep has a sears-branded full cab.

“Its all there, and there’s 2 of them”
And, the second jeep: Continue reading
This is listed as a 1954, but it’s clearly has a CJ-2A body. Unclear how much value is here, as this doesn’t run.

“It’s got a nice cab,roll bar, and tow hitch. The motor is a ford 260 v8. With an overdrive Its been sitting a long time. Back is full of carburetors and other parts”
This appears to have a custom half cab.

“46 Willy’s jeep cj2a. Has a replacement steel body put on at some point,no real rust anywhere. Frame is solid as well,no rust holes anywhere. Has a 4.3 Chevy motor that runs very good,always starts right up. Has an electric fuel pump. Stock trans and transfer case,twin stick. One of the wheel cylinders has a slow leak so needs a little brake fluid once in a while. Seats needs attention,covers and foam,frames are good. The bad part is I don’t have a title or any paperwork at all and can’t get anything. Never been titled in Kentucky is what I was told. Got it from a farmer who’s had it for 30 + years and just used it on his property. Have some extra parts that could possibly go with it.”
UPDATE: Thanks to Roger Martin for taking some pics at this auction. It looks like there were plenty of bidders on the jeeps. Roger reports there were nine jeeps auctioned. The prices varied from $380 to $2000. The green jeep below was won with a $2000 bid (which included an extra running engine!). 3 of the Jeeps had PTOs.
Blaine spotted these ads for several jeeps and trailers for sale. The ads have similar photos. The flatfender is most likely a 1946 2A.

“Hi there, for sale is my 1947 Willy’s Overland CJ2A. This little jeep has been an awesome vehicle, and doesn’t need much. It has the F-Head Hurricane Willy’s engine that was torn apart and completely gone through, along with the transmission and transfer case. Gaskets and seals were replaced and fresh oil throughout the drive train.
This will start on the first crank even after sitting for a couple weeks.
The differentials have fresh fluid and the manual hubs have been gone through.
The transfer case has a high and low range, and a front diff engage. Three speed transmission.
Newer drum brakes and it stops reasonably well
I drive it all over town and have had it on the freeway for short periods. It will go 50-55 fine, but should probably get some new tires if you plan on long freeway trips.
The Jeep is coated in a Linex type coating that is extremely tough. No rust on the Jeep, any old spots where cut out and repaired by the previous owner.”
Seems worth a look at this price.

“1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep. $5000 Priced for a quick sale. Runs great and mechanically sound. Has original engine which was rebuilt by prior owner who used it as a hunting vehicle. I have put less than 100 miles on it since I’ve owned it for the past decade. It’s been garage kept under my ownership. Transfer case shifts smoothly. Has winch, bench seat, bikini top, roll bar, CB radio, fire extinguisher, storage box and warn hubs. Rear rack holds spare tire, jerry can and water cooler. Has battery disconnect key switch inside fender well in case you need to roam far from it in the woods. Call Mark for more details.”

“1947 cj2a has a 4.3 chevy with husky overdrive, 538 years with a D 18 transfer case and a sm420 transmission. I have a ton of new parts that need to be installed. Due to my health I cannot finish it, a new small cap electronic distributor new wiring harness, new wipers and motors, has 33 inch tires with 90% tread. Have brand new black bucket seats. Much much more. Like to trade for a older camero, or maybe a side by side, or Harley big twin motorcycle,”
I suspect this may have some underside rust.

“Looking to sell 1946 CJ2A. Not sure what the value is though since it does need some work. Located in the Waco, Texas area.”
This has a sears-branded deluxe top. Unclear if it runs or not.

“Comes with extra engine and transmission. Three speed on the floor. Original Willys engine and transmission in it now.”
This has no title. Given the radiator and the transmission crossmember mount (just visible in one pic), this is likely a DJ-3A convertible body on a CJ-2A chassis.

“Trade OBO NO TITLE!!! We got it thinking of restoring it due to it having many good parts but decided not to due to not having time. Would like to trade for a motorcycle or best offer for it.”
This doesn’t run.
