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 .
This appears to have a Bobcat fiberglass hood.

It runs. It’s listed as a 1952, but is more likely a 1946 CJ-2A.

“This is my fathers project Jeep, it has a f134, t90 and Dana 18. Body is just sitting on frame. Comes with extra parts.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
The CJ-2A’s body is wood from a Sears & Roebuck kit. Seems we have run across one of those kits before.
“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.
I think that’s a defroster setup across the windshield?

“My father is selling his 1948 Jeep Willy’s CJ2A. Needs some work but has a rebuilt motor that runs. Needs brake work, possibly suspension, and has been stored in a garage for many years. Not sure on mileage.”
Listed as a 1948, the body appears to be a VEC, probably ’46. It has an early grille, too.

“Body is roached but frame is in great shape. Engine has a ton of new parts and runs great. All fluids have been changed recently. It has new shocks all the way around. It drives and shifts through all the gears. Brake master cylinder is bad so no brakes but it comes with a new one. I have the title in hand. It also comes with a bunch of extra parts. Located in Winchester, Indiana asking $4,000 FIRM trades possible.”
I have called the seller of this CJ-2A a friend for over a decade. His 1948 CJ-2A Lefty includes numerous extras. Also included is a unique collection of literature, some of which I’ve never seen elsewhere. The seller was instrumental in provided a great deal of unique, early civilian documents.
This collection is in Europe, so for a European collector it is likely a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get all this at cost far below what it would take to ship (if you could find the equipment) from the US.
If you are interested, either leave a comment at the bottom or email me at d@deilers.com.

“The good= The jeep runs and moves, all the lights work (including blinkers), frame is solid. New parts= radiator, alternator (12v system), brake lines, brake master cylinder, gas tank, seat frame, light switch Engine isn’t original. Currently has the f head hurricane four cylinder engine. Hood doesn’t clear carburetor so that’s why the hood is off.
The bad=Floor has rust holes and a spot that someone cut out above transmission, will probably need new brake pads and drums all the way around, there is pressure at brake pedal but brakes dont work (pistons could also be stuck), transmission needs a new tail shaft seal, and exhaust needs work. Make me an offer that wouldn’t surprise your mother”
