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 .
I’d wager this has a few more than 979 miles on it, especially since that’s not the original speedometer.

“979 actual miles Good body no rust. Will trade for $3000 cash and a good vehicle”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
You don’t see a windshield like this every day. It has an unusual headlight setup, too.
“Very rare 1948 bright yellow Willys Jeep. Has a 1968 Corvette engine. Has holly carburetor, modern exhaust system. Exempt from smog. Four Sand tires included (retail $1000).”
UPDATE: Still Available.

This is a classic that can both roar down PCH or up any hill or sand dune across Southern California with fun and ease. Super reliable. This 1947 Willys CJ2a is completely upgraded throughout and as reliable as any daily driver while still staying true to the original.
The ride is super smooth. Springs are upgraded to allow the Willys to purr at 80 mph down the freeway without any wobble, nice and tight. You will never see a flattie roll as stable as this. Can also tackle any off-road situation with zeal. . . Sits on 35” BFG MTs (which will need to be replaced) and also comes with a full roll cage.
A bit rough for the price.

Roger Martin shared this post. The seller will also include a bantam trailer for another $1500. The body does have some rust underneath.

“1946 willys CJ2A JEEP.”
Not much value here.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1608667609272415/
“Old willys everything but motor is there no title not in to bad shape for the age”

“Selling the 1947 Jeep. Just don’t have room for it any more”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
Former racing jeep?
“I have a 1947 Jeep willys it has a built 302 bored over. It has 3/4 ton axels Chevy front and ford rear offer me anything price is Best offer”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Runs and drives, but no brakes.
“1947 Willys CJ2A Flat Fender Jeep
V8 Chevy Engine conversion, Pertronix ignition, Summit electric choke carb, fenderwell headers,runs well.
35″ tires on true bead lock wheels, also has inner liner for running very low tire pressure.
Drive train is all stock.
Have a Scout 2 front axle assembly and a Chevy 4 speed truck tranny with a granny 1st gear that goes with the Jeep.
Have a 9 slot Military grille that goes with the Willys.
This is a total project vehicle that does run & drive, however the brakes do not work at all and the front tires rub on the leaf springs when turning.
I have too many projects, this is a very cool old Jeep that could be one hell of a four wheeler with some work, the granny 4 speed that goes with it will make it good for rock crawling.
$3,500 or best reasonable offer.
Would possibly trade for a good running performance big block Chevrolet, will trade up or down.”
Given we can see the cement floor through the gas inlet, I’d say this may need some floor work.

“Tub, front fenders, windshield”
Ran when parked.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $450.
Looks like there’s $450 worth of parts here to me. Appears to have a set of Cutlas hubs.
“This Jeep has 7k put into the internal components (transmission was new from Kaiser Willy’s back in 2008, I did each wheel/brakes) jeep wouldnt start 10 years ago and has been sitting since… engine turns over last time I checked a fairly short while ago. I think it was a bad solenoid, since the engine turned freely. I don’t have the funds right now to continue this project, so my loss is your gain.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Appears worth a look.
“For sale 48 Willys
Starts runs and drives with clear title 134L engine”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000. Worman half top.
Nick’s got this 2A for sale. No description provided.
Listed as a 1946, this VEC could be a 1945 given the rear floaters. That said, there’s lots of rust.
https://oregoncoast.craigslist.org/pts/d/coos-bay-1946-vec-willys-jeep-parts/7070876152.html
“I have a collection of 1946 VEC CJ2A Jeep parts for restoration or just parts. I was going to restore this but I have an aircraft restoration project that is more demanding of my time.
Parts include: Rolling chassis, (full floating rear axle), with tub, 5 mounted like new 600×16 military NDT tires, engine, transmission/transfer case, radiator, rear driveshaft, drivers seat frame, non-VEC windshield frame, tailgate, hood, front fenders and grill.
Couldn’t find an engine id number in the usual two places/pads but the cylinder head is the early smooth top design. The engine turns over with a wrench and the crank pulley nut looks correct for a VEC.

A ‘ran when parked’ classic build with some old school art on the back. Looks like this was a neat rig back in its day.
https://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/d/rancho-cordova-1951-willys-cj2a/7066131971.html
“Awesome rebuild project for somebody.
Registered as a 1951 but vin comes up as built in 1947
Body is strait. Does have some bondo work.
v8 with custom headers. It did run when it was parked 15 years ago”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3500.
(12/16/2019) This former VEC column shift has has a few updates.
https://slo.craigslist.org/cto/d/paso-robles-1946-jeep-willys/7066549812.html
“1946 jeep willys
Runs great.
Well maintained.
Registration up to 2018
1962 ford rancheros 6 cyl engine
We have to move so we have to sell it.
Brand new 4×4 locking hubs.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $300.
Could be of interest to the right person. Looks similar to a CJ-2L, but this is more likely a one-off build.
“this is a cj3a body and frame that has been stretched,has willys tailgate and grill and hood, ok condition, no title, set up for chevy and 700r4, i think it would make a nice rat rod”
UPDATE: Still Available.

https://eastoregon.craigslist.org/cto/d/hermiston-1946-willys-jeep-cj2a/7066708116.html
“1946 Willy’s Jeep. Mostly stock, has L-134 engine serial number indicates a Willy’s factory remanufacture. Buckshot bias ply non-directional tires 99%, perfect tires for the Jeep. Tons of traction, look old school. Pictures make the Jeep look amazing, in all fairness it is not. Has rust in the usual spots, hat channels and tool box. Tons of new parts, shouldn’t need much to keep puttering around. Price is the price, otherwise will keep. Includes spare running take out motor, transmission and transfer case (both would need a rebuild). Spare axles what not. Also, optional- M416 military trailer with almost no rust, needs tires and paint. Would include with the Jeep for $700. Must sell Jeep before separating any items, thanks.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Seems a reasonable price.
“arly ’46 Willys CJ2A. Last owner put in a F head motor but have a correct L head motor that’s included. Aslo have a hood to replace the one that’s on there. Great piece of history to restore.”
