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.

“1947 CJ2A fiberglass body 4 cylinder 3 speed with overdrive. Runs and drives. Drove it all last summer.”
There might be some parts value here, but hard to say from the pics.

“Early column shift 1946 Willy’s cj2a. Very rough! Front 1/3 of frame has been cobbled together, back half not terrible. Tub is beyond repair. Rear axle complete and rolls. Front axle missing pass side hub, brake, and leaf spring. Engine is missing parts but I believe it’s free, and has black oil in it still, I believe it’s a good rebuilder. Transmission and tcase there, condition unknown. No title. This was my yard art for many years but no where to keep it now”
The rolling chassis appears to be a CJ-3A.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
Not a whole lot of value here. It has a Cab Enclosure hardtop in poor condition and some EasyLok hubs.
“Willys jeep $500 or bo Dosent run for parts.”
Seller will consider offers. It’s too bad the vintage lettering isn’t in better condition.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/348912716047188/
“Willy’s cj2a Jeep project rolling frame. Tons of new and used parts. Must see. Make me a reasonable offer.”
UPDATE: Still Available. No price listed.
Looks like the seats could use some work.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,000.
The narrowing rear of the CJ-5 body is an unusual modification.

(02/10/2019) Not 100% restoration, but looks in good condition
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/272236193944101/
“1946 Willy’s Jeep restored to original run an looks good. Nv title 11,500.”
Appears solid.

“1947 Willyz CJ2A Flat fender, amazing Jeep that has been completely restored, engine has been recently rebuilt, transmission, transfer case rebuilt. I have gone through the axles and brakes and replaced anything that needed replaced. When bought I rhino lined the whole tub and painted the exterior with a textured paint. There is a top that’s on the Jeep in the pictures and then another that has doors and encloses the entire Jeep. It has a heater that makes it nice and toast inside during the winter and on the deer hunt. Any other questions that arise please don’t hesitate to ask. Not going to give this away considering I have way more money into it then I’m asking. Price is OBO but please no nonsense.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** was $11,000.
(01/04/2020) This modified CJ-2A with the truck-like addition is road ready. The body appears to have some kind of body liner on it.
“Great condition no rust
Vehicle came from las Vegas
Has about 50 miles on the rebuilt 2.2 engine. 3 speed transmission and 2 speed transfer case. Original 2a frame professionally stretched. Only reason I’m selling is I’m ready for a new project. I have owned it for over 5 years. I have over 12k invested just in parts.
Cash price 11k or trade of equal value. Let me know what you have and let’s make a deal. Main interest would be skid steer or wrecked jk”
This has a Sears half cab, plow, and a column shift. The engine is powered by propane.There seems to be some value here.
https://goldcountry.craigslist.org/for/d/cedar-ridge-1946-jeep-willys/7116849016.html
“1946 Willys Jeep project. This jeep has a current non-op, clean title and the VIN matches the title. 283 V-8 Chevy engine. Propane fuel, Hydromatic transmission. It was running when parked. Sold as is – where it is. No offers – this price is firm at $1000. Cash only, no trades. Snow Plow included.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(04/09/2020) This has lots of mods; likely a nice rig for the Cascades. The body looks to be a replacement body.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2510909332511098/
“Willys jeep 3.8 v6, auto trans, up graded axles, limited slip diff, best you can buy, disc brakes- all through billy bobs off road in edgewood… Warren wench, high lift jack, off road harness, power brakes, power steering, tilt wheel, bose stereo, roll bar, lights off road, on board air w/holding tank, interior lites, extra top, bikini top, half doors, water proof trunk, rear rack holds a lot of weight, locking hubs, all gauges, automatic trans, two extra transfer cases,”
I suspect there’s been some body work on that passenger side. It also looks like the rear of the tool box floor drops below the passenger side body edge. I can’t tell why that might be (see last pic).

“1946 Jeep Willys !! Super kool and getting hard to find ! This has new tires runs and drives as it should! And this Jeep does has the good motor ! Will entertain offers of trade up or down”
This includes a rear PTO and drum pulley. It also has the governor handle, but not the linkage on the engine.

“All original 1946 Willy’s Jeep with rare working original PTO. Needs battery, starter, spark plug wires, and carburetor. Everything else is there including rear bench seat. $1000 worth of brand new correct tires. Restore, or enjoy summer fun as-is.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.
Most likely a 1946 CJ-2A.
“Willys Jeep with a flathead four cylinder engine. needs some work. runs, but not very strong. brakes need some attention. model year unknown. calls only no email or texting.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5200.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,500
(04/23/2020) Runs and drives. Looks like the driver’s side has a floor patch.
“Vintage 1946 Willys, military tribute jeep. Completed multiple engine and mechanical enhancements. Replaced plugs, plug wires set, point, rotor, condenser, distributor cap, (12-volt system) starter drive, thermostat, replaced exhaust manifold, rebuilt carburetor, replaced oil and fuel filters, replaced all fluids, i.e. antifreeze, transfer cases and transmission. Seats reupholstered in original canvas. Plus many more minor items. Bows for top, Sound clutch, all transfer cases gears run fine as well as four-wheel drive. All gages work. Next and last enhancement would be paint job. Wife says I need a pick-up truck. Will trade for older model Ford or Dodge pick-up.”
Not sure how much value is here. It’s listed as a 3A, but has a 2A body. It could have a late 2A frame or a 3A frame.
https://newlondon.craigslist.org/cto/d/coventry-willys-jeep-cj3/7107359166.html
“CJ 3 frame good, axles and tranny, no motor or gauges, yard art, parts, mud rat build”
UPDATE :**SOLD** Was $4300.
Seller is moving, so it’s a must sell item. Looks like the hardtop doors have been modified to allow for more visibility.
“1948 Willys CJ2A. F-134 Engine. Needs brake repair and fuel system work. Excellent original sheet metal. No rust, rot, patches, or welds. Good paint. Moving–must sell”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1050.
Given the hard-to-find Beck/Kelly half cab, I’d say this is worth a look.
“1940”Willy’s Jeep with plow and extra parts. Asking $1050.00″
UPDATE: Still Available.
(04/01/2020) Mechanically, this looks like it’s been thoughtfully restored. I’m just not sure how the restorer figured out what the “correct WWII Olive Drab” would be?
https://kansascity.craigslist.org/cto/d/chilhowee-restored-1948-willys-jeep-cj/7115023703.html
