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 .
Has a few updates, but looks good for the price.

Matt’s helping a friend sell this CJ-2A. It does not have a title.
“I am listing this Jeep for a friend of mine. It’s a 1947 CJ2A that is mostly complete and will run with a little work. It ran a couple years ago and has been sitting since. It does turn over and sputter with some fuel poured down the carb. The body needs work as there are some patches in the floor and rust in a few spots. Frame is solid and the rest of the drivetrain is in good complete shape. As you can see in the pictures someone added some different seats to it. The Windshield is NOT included with the Jeep and it does NOT have a title.
The Jeep is located in Fordland Missouri, roughly 30 miles east of Springfield. He is firm on $1500 which I believe is a great price for a CJ2A that will run and drive with a couple hours of work. If you are interested give me a call or text and I will put you in touch. 8603043639. Thank you.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,555.
(04/10/2020) The seller suggests that this is a 1945, but the dash plate looks more like a post column shift (33xxx-45xxx) plate … (has the script “JEEP” and does has the “ONE QUARTER TON FOUR WHEEL DRIVE” slogan rather than the preceding “ONE QUARTER TON FOUR WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK”). More on 2A plates here: http://www.cj-2a.com/oldsite/marks/dataplates/survey/index.html

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $3250.
It’s got some rough spots, but it runs. Seller uses the hand brake to stop. The hardtop (what’s left of it) may have been a Porter and Reed.
“I didn’t want to sell this but I have to pay for a new truck.
She’s not a show queen, but great around the farm, ranch, and trails. 1950s Willys F-head motor. Motor runs, clutch shifts well, and 4×4 works. Front brake hoses are cracked (available from vintagejeeps.com) so I’ve been using the hand brake. Tubes/tires hold air but are showing their age. Clean CA title on non-op.
More pics and videos available.
Recent carb rebuild and master cylinder rebuild. New spark plugs, points, and condenser. Timing still needs to be set. New Swepco motor oil and oil filter. Electric fuel pump. Headlights, brake lights, and turn signals work. Heavy duty galvanized hardtop. Doors are removable. Glass is good. Rollbar has not been bolted in.

(11/25/2019) Not quite ‘all original’.

“all original runs great”
Not sure how much value is here. It looks like it has a replacement body.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/771268003369367/
“No title, needs new body, noes not run now , motor is not locked up , been sitting, power steering , Buick V 6 , 12” lift for 44” tall tires, 14” rims , spare axles, transfer case , transmission,leaf springs and more.”

“1947 Willie’s jeep, runs good. Brand new 31×10.50 tires all around. New head and new top. Everything works as should. Message for details”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $18,000.
(10/26/2019) It appears the body has had a great deal of work done to it. Certainly not original, but looks like pretty good work. I imagine there isn’t much demand for a Gator-themed CJ-2A.
“1946 Willys CJ2 in as new condition, original drivetrain with the addition of a Buick Odd Fire V6, UF Gator colors, drive it to the game to support your team.”

“1946 willys. L134 go devil engine. Tub is rough. It’s all there. Motor is free and spins with starter. Going to try to get it running by the weekend. Have hood, windshield frame, and tailgate 2200 firm.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(03/29/2020) This militarized CJ-2A lacks front frame horns and seems to lack the holes for the CJ-2A positioned key. So, either this has had some work or it’s not a CJ-2A frame and body.

“Newly restored 1940s Willys Jeep. Has New OD Green Canvas Top (Not In Pics) This is about as good as it gets.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4250.
This lacks some gauges and rear lights. There’s no rubber gasket along the windshield bottom.
“I have a 1948 Willys Jeep for sale. It’s a 4×4 and can’t goes through anything. Tires are brand new and runs and drives. Lots of new parts on it and just got tuned up. Freshly painted. Comes with gas can and flag.
I’ve had it at my deer lease and love it. Only selling because I have now have a smaller deer lease and don’t use it. It runs and drives great and I can send a video of me driving up a rocky hill from this week.
The only bad thing is the brakes are giving me trouble right now and don’t always work. Not sure what’s wrong but brakes are very affordable and easy to work on. I just haven’t had time to mess with it. Also it does not have a title because they were military issued. But comes with bill of sale and can get title easily.”
Has a few mods. Why the extra ‘rivets’ around the edges? Is that holding on a skin? Or just for looks?

“1948 CJ2A Willys Runs great”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(01/15/2019) This appears to have M-38 like tool indents on the passenger side, but a CJ parking brake and no dash glove box. Maybe it’s a replacement tub??
